The Miz believes that the current WWE era is better than the Attitude Era

The Miz has made a bold statement: the current era of WWE is bigger and better than the Attitude Era of the late 90s. The veteran wrestler, with over two decades in the company and a self-proclaimed follower of that golden era, mentioned it in an interview with The Schmo.

The Attitude Era is often remembered as the commercial peak of professional wrestling, with television ratings that made history. However, The Miz argues that, based on modern metrics such as live event revenues, global reach, and the depth of the roster, today's WWE has surpassed those times.

Last year was historic. The biggest WrestleMania of all time. I will always repeat it: there was an Attitude Era, but this is bigger. The stories are better than ever, the roster is deeper than it has ever been. WWE always finds a way to outdo itself year after year. What we experienced at Allegiant Stadium was incredible, but it will be nothing compared to what will happen at WrestleMania 42.

Although many fans still consider the Attitude Era as an irreplaceable period, The Miz argues that the modern WWE not only matches that legacy but has surpassed it in all the aspects that matter to the industry.

The Attitude Era was a period in WWE that unfolded in the late 90s and early 2000s, considered by many as the most explosive and controversial era of modern professional wrestling. Characterized by a more adult and violent tone, it introduced stories full of provocation, more extreme matches, and characters that challenged established norms. Figures like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Mick Foley, and D-Generation X became symbols of a product that broke television audience records and led WWE to surpass WCW in the famous "Monday Night War."
