Booker T comments on the comments between the current era and the Attitude Era.
The Attitude Era was previously seen as the peak of WWE's popularity, as the business had never been hotter. However, in recent years, led by Cody Rhodes and other stars, WWE's business is booming, and the company continues to break records.
Speaking with CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri (via SHAK Wrestling), WWE Hall of Famer Booker T was asked to comment on the comparisons between the current "Renaissance Era" and the Attitude Era, with Mahjouri questioning if Booker thought that this era was superseding the Attitude Era.
“The Attitude Era is something that we’re always gonna talk about. It’s always gonna be something that was part of your life, my life, in some way, shape, or form. But I do understand what guys like Cody is talking about, as far as this era now. This is their era. Is it better than the Attitude Era? Well, to them, they should want to try to make it better than the Attitude Era. The thing is, we can’t talk about the Attitude Era forever. We’re gonna have to move past this sooner or later. We’re gonna have to start talking about this next generation [laughs], the Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes of the world and their legacy and their ‘Attitude Era’ that they created. So I understand it, I get it. If I was in Cody Rhodes’ shoes, Drew McIntyre, any of these young guys, I would feel the exact same way," Booker T said.
Cody Rhodes previously coined the term "Renaissance Era" and said WWE is no longer in the shadow of the Attitude Era. Check out his comments here.
