Hey guys, just giving everyone a heads up that we're making a tweak to the WWE section of the board, as we feel it's long overdue to change the board from "Attitude Era through Current" to just straight up "Current".
If you're curious about the thinking on all of this, it's pretty simple: WWE's overall presentation hasn't changed too much since the Attitude Era in terms of staging, camera work, etc., so it felt pretty safe to make that a starting point for this part of the forum. However, enough time has passed and it's high time we put a "classic wrestling" tag on the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. Henceforth, threads dedicated to discussion of these times should go in the (W)rest of Wrestling section, as that allows for discussion of older/extinct promotions and classic WWF, already.
Our new starting point for what constitutes "current" here will be January 4, 2010: the day that NXT was created. There was some thought of making it 2008 given that was the beginning of the "PG era", but that felt a little too nebulous, so let's use 2010, instead, just seems easier to remember. Don't worry too much: if you make a thread about something from the past, can't remember when exactly it happened, and it turns out it's a topic from 2009 or something you're not in trouble or anything, but please keep the guideline in mind so mods don't have to take time to move threads from one sub-forum to another too often.
I'll leave this up as a sticky for a little while, hopefully just long enough that everyone and any newbies we get in the coming couple of months know what the deal is. Please also refer to the edited descriptive text for this board and for (W)rest of Wrestling on the main page if you ever need a reminder.

No problem, besides making me feel REALLY old now...

Feels like a fitting change given the relatively consistent manner WWE has been in the last decade. Though it a damning incident about some of the stagnation that confusion about which era you're talking about could still happen.
"Why is there all focus on Orton and Big Show as well as Ziggler being the challenger to the top babyface?"
"Doesn't this belong Wrest of Wrestling?"
"Sadly enough, no."

My recommendation for the new board's wording.
WWE Current: "What is a mustache? Haha. It's a little bit of hair grown over the upper lip. I don't have one, nobody else here has one one. But you know what? A mustache is for a REAL MAN! See, of all these people here, I have the best mustache of them all. And in a couple more days, I'll have a nice, THICC, mustache. But none of these BOYS will-" *BZZT*

Who were the hippiest new stars at the start of '10s? Somebody should make a thread about this!

That moment when you realize the Best of Braden Walker 3 Disk DVD Hall of Fame Edition set is now in the Wrest Forum.

The only problem is now I have to remember what happened around 08-14 and put it in the right section.

Must agree with both this being a good decision AND making me feel very old.

For example / We can talk about Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker II @ WrestleMania in the current, and about the I in (w)rest of Wrestling.

I get wanting to shove WWECW and Ruthless Aggression out of the main section, but I think I'm going to have trouble remembering what happened in general in 2009 and what happened in 2010.

Wasn’t January 4, 2010 also the day that Raw and Impact went head to head for the first time?
