** WWE's female talents during that time period would often be sexualized by competing in stripping matches, pillow fights and bikini contests. With WWE in the midst of the Women's Evolution where its female talents are now treated just like their male counterparts, as well as the #MeToo Movement, these types of matches will never happen ever again in the WWE nowadays.

** Vince Russo's ShockingSwerve booking that left WCW fans and later TNA fans moaning and complaining was present in WWE's Attitude Era - and there was plenty of nonsense going on that was done just for shock factor. The difference was that it was new at the time, and Russo usually had Vince [=McMahon=] to filter out some of his sillier ideas.

* HypeBacklash: Due to numerous fans hyping the Attitude Era as the greatest era of wrestling ever, it's understandably suffered a backlash. A lot of detractors point to the ShockingSwerve booking and endless title changes, sometimes with an overemphasis on gimmicks - not to mention women's wrestling fans cringing at the blatant T&A substituting actual athleticism.

* WinBackTheCrowd: The WWE became the undisputed top promotion of the wrestling world in the 1980s, but by the time the '90s rolled around, their top name (Wrestling/HulkHogan) was gone, nobody else was grabbing the audience's interest, and the booking had become ridiculous, predictable, and lame. The WWE found themselves trailing behind Wrestling/{{WCW}} and staring down the barrel of bankruptcy. Then came the Attitude Era, a DarkerAndEdgier reinvention focused around Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, and the rest is history.

* TooGoodToLast: The whole concept of rowdy wrestling fans have been replaced with timid kids and bored parents. Hard to believe now, but everyone watched wrestling back then. It was not family entertainment or a "guilty pleasure"; wrestling had 5 years of America's full attention. Picture the Rock's promos being aired alongside football and major news highlights. That's how big wrestling was.
