WWE is hot. Will we get crowd pops like this again?

You will never see a wrestling craze get as intense as it was during the Attitude Era. Never. It was white hot and insane. No way we ever see that again.

When LA Knight wins a world championship

No. The demographics of the crowd is different or was more young adult skewed during this timeframe.

Only one man’s return can make it happen

It’s funny to think about now, but the booking team of McMahon + Prichard + Cornette + Russo is probably the best booking team WWF/E ever had.

Honestly I don’t think so. Mainly bc their was no phones at this time so it was just natural genuine reactions, no trying to get the perfect shot, no trying not to jump so the video is messed up, just straight up excitement and surprise.

One of, if not the biggest pop in history

The pack arenas and stadiums differently now. Watch a clip of the Yankees in the playoffs from like 98 or 99. Super packed. And crowds were way more prone to get lit at that time. Really only happens for football these days

It’s called the “Stone Cold pop” for a reason. The crowd can still get very loud when great things happen. But only one sound can get that reaction.

2002-2007, 2011, 2013,2015 all had these reactions

If WWE was more willing to deliver compelling “anything can happen” television on a weekly basis, rather than weekly TV and lesser PLEs feeling like stepping stones toward the bigger 2-3 PLE every year, and an over fixation on long title runs, then honestly, it could happen again

Nope, wrestling will never be as hot as it was during the attitude era.

You would have to watch AEW to get at least close to that

@TherealTayls @Arnott3D @bmcmahon87

Nothing like that! Perfect storm of Foley, DX and Austin being hot as a pistol going up against the biggest heel in the history of the business! Just Whoa

@TomWilko321

No. We’re all too busy looking at our phones and taking pictures, lol.

LA Knight gets them

Which pop? The Austin pop? Idk... Austin/the glass break/the attitude era was just a different time. Look around, no phones, just pure engagement. You can pop like that when youre also tryna record whats happening. I dont think its possible anymore

With lames and marks online today I doubt it there to busy bitching and complaining

@_AG88_

No I'm not a Cody mark or anything but I feel like if Cody did beat Roman at mania that arena would've been crazy, or even drew beating Roman at clash

Nuclear reaction and imo still the greatest pop of all time. But modern era has these moments. Cena MITB 2021, Sami RR 2023, Edge RR return 2020, etc. That’s just the 2020s. Let’s not pretend we don’t see nuclear pops anymore. We do, just on a slightly lower level sometimes.

Godddd the CHILLS I get when watching videos like this are unmatched

When Jey uso loses the match and then The Rocks music plays lol

no they like 1 hour promos with drama

Yeah for sure. Orton's return, whenever Reigns loses the titles, if LA Knight wins any title. We had one similar this year when Zayn turned on Reigns at RR.

No not like this level. The believability isn’t there where the audience is that invested. The closest thing we’ve seen that remotely scratches the surface is when Sami zayne chaired Roman & Jey USO pinned Roman. Such a different era of attitude in wrestling at the time.

Sami zayn pop when turning on bloodline and then his match with Roman was massive.

Only thing this was missing was JR on the call

@NEW_coaching

wrestling was absolutely amazing back then. i always wished wrestling would be that good, but instead it's a complete joke now. it's worse than the worst wrestling from the 60s

Not when half the audience is on their smart phones
