I find that most of the attitude stuff has not aged well at all.
I can watch ECW, Raven and Jericho all day long and be entertained, but I find myself losing interest very quickly with the attitude stuff.
On the other hand I can't get enough of the WWF/WCW stuff from the 80's - mid 90's.

Honestly? Not really. Most things seem to be right around where I remember them, although I haven't watched f*** all for Attitude Era stuff and I have found from watching my old tapes that a lot of that doesn't hold up well.

What part of the Attitude Era are we talking about here? The 1998 era stuff is still terrific aside from the obvious stuff that sucks like the Brawl For All. I never thought most of 1999 was all that great to begin with, even if I was totally obsessed.
If anything I almost have the opposite reaction. Stuff that I recalled sucking I can go back and say "Well, maybe that wasn't SO bad."

However, 2000 was awesome then and most of it is awesome now

I won't say he sucks, but I remember Shamrock being cooler than he actually was. I still like him, just, he seemed crisper in my memories.

DX: A bunch of greasy guys in their 30s yelling "Suck It". If you met guys like them at the bar, you would hate them.

The Shawn Michaels-less DX sucked.

The Shawn Michael-less DX sucked. I think the individual characters of Hunter, X-Pac, Chyna, and The Outlaws were good, but every thing they did together besides the Nation and Corporation parodies were wholly unmemorable.

Most hardcore wrestling ie beating each other with weapons and jumping off ladders with no point.

I'm actually kind of feeling that way about ECW. I find myself skipping through a lot of it. They had good stories and made some stars out of people who would otherwise never have made it, it just doesn't hold my interest anymore. On the flip side, I stopped watching wrestling NEARLY as much around 2003-2004ish and, while still not great, I'm appreciating more what they DID have in things like Angle, Lesnar, Guerrero, etc.

The hardcore title match from Mania 17.
Hell any of the Attitude era backstage style hardcore matches really, when I was younger I thought they were these wild uncontrolable brawls, now I watch them and realised they are actually quite contrived looking and over produced

The best of Raws that took place during the Attitude Era. Seriously I don't think there was a match that lasted longer than 5 minutes on Raw back then.

WWF 2000 is still one of the finest things I've ever seen.

That's most things for me, which is why I only watch the live PPV's and if they have a special show like the Warrior stuff.

What about when they single handedly turned the tide of the Monday Night Wars by invading WCW in a TANK*? *Not a tank.

I still like it, but I think ECW might best be left to "best of" compilations

It would be like if the Union invaded the Confederacy by sitting right on the Virginia border and made dick jokes for an hour.
