It's not like the AE was as good as people said it was.

Yeah and i rather watch Triple H and Mankind have a mediocre but entertaining match than watch Ziggler and Daniel Bryan put on a 5 star classic.

HHH/Foley was a 5* classic, Ziggler put on maybe 2 great matches in his career and Bryan is a mediocre WWE wrestler with a boring style that can't get a reaction in his matches to save his life. So you can stay with "IFs", HHH/Foley really happened and was a better overall program than everything in this era.

Don't know if you're trying to be sarcastic but yeah most people would have rather watch a HHH-Mankind entertaining slugfest than an IWC- rated "5 star classic" between Ziggler and Bryan that everyone seems to have forgotten already.

LOL @AE having bad wrestling. Watch the Benoit/Jericho matches and tell me that.

I don't normally agree with this guy, but this says it all. If the AE was only 1998-1999, you may have a point with the whole wrestling being better in today's era then back then, but because the AE also includes 2000 and 2001, with 2000 being one of the best years if not the best year in WWE history, and the wrestling being fantastic both years, that beats out today's era. It beats out the Ruthless Aggression Era (which I'd say gets overrated on here occasionally), and it overall was the most successful era for a reason.

It wasn't perfect, and not everything on the show back then was excellent (there were things... like the whole hand-birth shit, that were pretty fucking bad), but not anywhere near as much was bad as it is today.

^Spot on. 98-99 was more about storyline advancement whereas 2000 and 2001(Although I consider WM 17 to be the unofficial end of the AE.) had the perfect balance of wrestling and exciting storylines.
