WWE Hall Of Famer Compares Current AEW & WWE Rosters To The Attitude Era’s

WWE/AEW

A WWE Hall of Famer has compared the current AEW and WWE rosters to the Attitude Era’s.

Many wrestlers, fans and critics have discussed the topic of the wrestling business being back in a boom period with two major companies thriving by various metrics and many wrestlers having more opportunities to earn a living.

Kurt Angle was part of the tail end of the Attitude Era, which many have argued is the greatest and biggest era in wrestling history.

In an interview with Grue Rume Show, Angle expressed his belief that the Attitude Era just had more overall stars than today. He said:

“Both companies [AEW and WWE] have a lot of talent right now. I wouldn’t say they have the talent that we had back in the Attitude Era. Back then, everybody was a superstar.”

“Lower card guys, middle card guys, the Godfather, Val Venis, Bob Holly, guys that were midcard and opening card guys were huge stars.”

“Now, there are five or six top guys in the company that everyone knows and everyone else is not as recognized. Back then, we had a special group of guys.”

“Don’t get me wrong, the guys today, they are much more athletic and do a lot more crazy stuff, more flips and acrobatic stunts.”

“Hopefully, they’ll hone that in and come back to the way wrestling was where you have wrestling moves and stuff like that, not just stunts. I think everyone is doing a good job today in WWE and AEW.” 

Kurt Angle recently discussed which underrated WWE star he believes could be a main event draw, which you can read at this link.
