How could Monday Night Raw be must-see TV again like it used to be back in the attitude era in the late 90s instead being repetitive?

Not just the storylines but the same exact matches every week is dull and not exciting or electric like it was back in the days in the late 90s-early 00s. There’s no spark, no feud that’ll grasp your attention, and end raw with a brawl like this:

In that ring with the entire legends and future hall of famers… Wrestling fans, what do you think?

[Cocochoh]

Well stop calling out there next move out loud! Lol

Make matches more personal like cm punk and Seth. Or believeable Kane vs undertaker

Build up there personality where as can't say this modern day shawn, Steve, rey or the rock Like Carlito, he's way different from most wrestlers.

Storyline are boring. No real stakes or conflict that is different. Only one I'm rooting for is really Cody. Cause his journey was nothing but amazing. See him coming from losing most his matches, to the legacy, to dashing, to stupid stardust, to this now.

Finally, give those who deserve a title shot a small little push or run. Not part timers and Legends.

Stop prioritizing the business end of it so much, as they used to be more creative and take risks. This goes for the design of the arena's, wrestlers, and storylines. It would allow for more unpredictability and things could become edgier like they once were.

I understand they want to be monetized to the best of their ability and try to not spend as much as possible, but it's changed the atmosphere of the shows.

Anyway, that's my perspective as someone not involved behind the scenes 😂 I imagine things are more complicated now days.

I have never seen any entertainment value in watching overgrown men in underwear pretending to fight each other.

The bad acting these days really ruins it. And you can easily smell a predictable setup/storyline on the way

[Oliverlogan263]

Exactly, back in the 90s you had stars like stone cold, rock, taker, Kane, big show, the acolytes, new age outlaws with DX, the Monday night wars with the NWO and WCW altogether. With the video I shown you, this is what I wish Monday night raw could be like but I get it this was a different time and they don’t have stars of the quality now like on that video.

What's great about this brawl is wasn't just random brawling. There was storyline purpose for it. All the feuds going on at this time ended up in the ring. Just a great visual.

[DizzyDesii]

Plus their names are still memorable. Todays wrestlers names are easily forgettable by the next weeks episode

[Oliverlogan263]

My point exactly, I can’t even tell who I think will be a megastar or future hall of famer these days to be the next big thing and those were legends they had back then who are too old and retired now. They don’t have it like them no more, I’m thinking whether it was the time periods or what of why things the way they are

[TonyMetal___86]

The superstars back then were icons unlike today, which means that bringing the past era is impossible because everything was different...

This is one reason why my elderly cousins stopped watching WWE Wrestling because it's all talk in the ring and the matches are slowly disappearing, starting to suck.
