You were at a WWE event in 1999?

I barely knew WWE existed then. I thought it had been an '80s thing and had long since stopped. Or that WCW had replaced it.

WWE has been around since the 60s I think got big in the 80s with the HulkaMania Era then super huge in the 90s with the Attitude Era and WCW was awesome back in the day, makes me feel old saying that lol.Β

I remember sitting in the library of my high school in 1998-1999 and reading a TIME magazine article about the Attitude Era. In it they acknowledged that pro wrestling had been off the cultural radar for a while, and there were some people who thought of it as a "retro" thing, "like Mr. T or Culture Club."

You mustβve started watching in 2001 or so but I loved the Attitude Era also wrestling was so mainstream during that time had celebrities intrigued about it.

I really started watching it in earnest when the "John Cena Era" kicked off in 2005. It was really pulling away from the Attitude Era legacy by that point, so I appreciated it as something new and more original and less stereotyped.
