WWE Hall Of Famer Says Current Product Reminds Him Of The Attitude Era Years

The WWE product in 2023 has been the hottest it has been in many years, with Raw and SmackDown selling out most weeks, along with a number of incredibly popular acts on the show.

With Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, Jey Uso, Chad Gable and more getting loud reactions every week, the WWE product is now more popular than it has been in many years.

Speaking on his Foley is Pod podcast, WWE Hall of Famer spoke about the current Raw product, comparing it to the Attitude Era years in the company.

He said:

“I have started watching again, I have to tell you, I really find ‘Raw’ enjoyable. I think Triple H deserves a lot of [credit], and no that’s not a sign that I want to go back there under a contract, just because I’m complimenting Triple H. I think they’ve got some great long-term storylines going on. I think they’re adding great talent and it reminds me of like, late 1999, specifically early 2000.”

When delving into the similarities between the two eras, Foley said:

“When we had, I think a 10-man tag team match in Dallas and it was just like, from beginning to end, it was just a phenomenal reaction. It was like everybody in that ring was over. So, WWE and its roster are kind of reminding me of those days, because there are a lot of characters that are working well.”
