... what era ended exactly in the End of an Era Triple H / Taker match? Because I love the match but I still have absolutely no idea.
Best guess I've got is the end of the era of Triple H being in Cell matches all the time but he hadn't been in one in a few years at that point anyway, I wouldn't rule another one out, and he was heavily involved in one since even if he didn't actually compete at it so... Yeah, I still don't know what era ended there.

I think it was meant more to end the Taker/HBK/HHH program. Should of been called End of a Saga.

It was the end of the era where they were the top-billed stars at Manias.
What? Oh.

I'm sure I remember it being said on TV repeatedly that they were the last 2 "active" competitors from the Attitude Era, hence "End Of an Era"

I guess they do not count Goldust, Headbangers, Mark Henry, Big Show, Kane as Attitude Era

I guess they do not count Goldust, Headbangers, Mark Henry, Big Show, Kane as Attitude Era That would require HHH to look past the altar of self-aggrandizement he's built up around DX in general and himself in particular as part of it. Remember, DX kickstarted the Attitude Era, DX were the focal point of it, and that god damn tank battalion he led to the Norfolk Scope killed WCW in a single night.

So that wasn't "clear" they were talking about those matches. And it was stupid at the time too. There are stil guys from that era. Including the two in that match. One was the WWE champ this year. Also I thought the match sucked so all around it was a waste of time for me. That little drama school performance was weak.

The Attitude Era stars like HHH, Taker, HBK, The Rock and Stone Cold.

I guess they do not count Goldust, Headbangers, Mark Henry, Big Show, Kane as Attitude Era I guess they aren't regarded as big enough stars of the AE per se Only Kane was a big star in 97-01, Show was a (multiple) failed main event push, Goldust was a midcarder

It certainly wasn't the end of the Buzzwords Repeated Constantly Until We All Want to Smack Cole with a Clown Hammer Era.

Did Triple H stop wrestling as a regular full-time roster member after that?

Originally, the match was streak (UT's) vs. career (HHH's). As the build-up progressed, they quietly dropped any mentions of HHH having to retire if he lost, but retained the "end of an era" hype buzzwords.
