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.

Before this I have not even given a thought for these things.
