The comment made regarding no one wanted a sequel to DX is far from the truth. If you watched Wrestlemania 22 when Triple H and HBK did the crotch chop in their respective matches the crowd popped really big. And not to mention the lead up to the reunion. Fans wanted to see it. It was Shawn Michaels’ refusal to do the edgy segments that made the DX of the mid 2000s very watered down.

The second half of the Ruthless Aggression Era was complete garbage. For me it ended with Goldberg and Lesnar leaving, Eddie's and Benoit's deaths and the disrespecting of ECW with that December To Dismember PPV. That PPV was the final nail in the coffin that made me stop watching WWE entirely until today. I would say the 2006 ECW One Night Stand was the last thing worth watching with RVD finally winning the big one and everybody then left for TNA. After that the Cena & Orton PG Era began in WWE, and with that the company was dead to me ...

[@abhishekacharjee9931]

Idk about that, 06-08 was my favorite time , Edge v Cena , Edge v Taker, Taker v Batista, Cena v Orton (it was fresh in 07). People do hate PG John Cena but he was still tolerable during this time, had good to great matches with Edge, RVD, Orton, HHH, HBK and Umaga, Rated RKO also happened during this time, Jeff Hardy also got a singles push, HBK was doing great work, after that it went downhill, won't argue with that

Just like you two, I also grew up with the Ruthless aggression era and I have to say, what the hell are you two complaining about? Not sure about you, but if I grew up in todays wrestling era, I dont think I wouldve been a fan. We all know these stories arent real, but that's the point, they can take things to the extreme. I pretty much loved most of the things you complained about here. The reason is that they were a ton more entertaining than what today has to offer, sadly. Ofc there are things that are done better today, like the in ring wrestling and women getting way more respected. But overall, pro wrestling is a mix of many layers: from actual wrestling to acting, storytelling and more. And I think that the ruthless aggression era was one of the best times to be a fan.

There are three kinds of people who fondly remember the Ruthless Aggression Era 1. People who were too young and missed out on the far superior Attitude Era. 2. People who think better technical wrestling made up for the weak storylines and characters of the RA Era. 3. People who only think the Ruthless Aggression Era was good because they compare it to all the trash that followed it. The Ruthless Aggression Era is when I stopped watching wrestling, around summer 2003. From mid 1997 to mid 2003 I never missed a single Raw or Smackdown. It was 2003 when I gradually realized that the magic of the Attitude Era was never coming back. I was in denial throughout 2002 and 2003 hoping it would get better. It didn’t.

[@snakeeyes2551]

These are some of the worst moments of Ruthless Aggression Era 1. Mr. McMahon God gimmick and McMahonism 2. WWE not pushing Smackdown wrestlers such as Scotty 2 Hotty, Mr. Kennedy, Spike Dudley, Mark Jindrak, Muhammad Hassan, Funaki, Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore, and Jamie Noble 3. The rebirth of ECW 4. Giving The Great Khali the World Heavyweight Championship too early 5. Triple H vs Booker T at Wrestlemania XIX 6.Treating females mostly as eye candy and not actual wrestlers 7.

[@wesleyprince3465]

Nah dude as someone who grew up at the tail end of the attitude era and the beginning of the ruthless aggression era, I loved the return of DX for the kayfabe storyline purposes. Correct me if I'm wrong but that angle started out after triple H kept getting jumped and triple teamed by Legacy led by Orton. When he initially recruits Shawn back and Shawn gives his kayfabe current job's manager the sweet chin music in the middle of catching a viscious ear beating still gives me goosebumps to think about. And say what you will, having HHH send HBK off on a boyish errand or distraction or whatever it was before he asked some women to flash him was a funny way to include Michael's newfound faith into the storyline. It was almost like breaking the fourth wall....or....rather the 3.5th wall so to speak lol. Does it live up to the initial run? *FUUUCK NO.* Not even close. I would never try to make that argument even just to troll. But I definitely don't think it deserves to be included in a "worst of" list. Just my personal opinion tho. To each their own and I thought they did as well as they could with the PG13 and born again christian limitations.
