WWE and professional wrestling as a whole seem to be getting more attention than ever thanks to the use of streaming, social media, and talented superstars.
That being said, many fans will still make the case for the Attitude Era, sporting iconic figures like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and Mick Foley.

Especially with nostalgia glasses on, it’s easy to argue that the Attitude Era is the best wrestling era of all time.
That being said, there is one person who thinks modern wrestling is bigger than it was in that beloved era: Triple H.

During an appearance on “The Roommates” podcast, Triple H revealed that he thinks modern WWE is bigger than it was during the Attitude Era.
“We’re kind of in this resurgence of WWE. I was obviously a huge part of the Attitude Era, but right now it’s bigger than ever,” Triple H said. “I think it “It’s bigger than the Attitude Era was even then. It’s amazing how many people we get to do cool stuff with every week.”
If there’s one person who can make this argument, it’s Triple H. The creative head was a very popular superstar during the Attitude era, having won several world titles during his career in the ring.
When it comes to numbers, Triple H isn’t wrong. WWE is making more money than ever and, thanks to streaming, finding its way into more homes than ever.

That being said, commentator and former WWE Superstar Wade Barrett believes that the storytelling has also improved, and it’s all thanks to Triple H.
“I like the fact that today I don’t know who will be in the main event of the next premium live event,” Barrett said in an interview with PWMania. “I have absolutely no idea what the card is going to look like. I don’t know if Cody Rhodes will be anywhere near the card, he might get left out and he’s one of the biggest stars we have I don’t know if Roman Reigns will be there, CM Punk might be back, I have no idea.”
“For me it’s really, really exciting and I think one of the key factors in Triple H’s success is his ability to keep the audience guessing and not be so formulaic. I love that as a fan of professional wrestling It continues that excites me and keeps our fans intrigued, and to me that’s the biggest difference in all of this, that question mark that almost every weekly show has.
