概要

I grew up on the Attitude Era. Monday Night Raw was my show. Stone Cold, The Rock, DX, the nWo (when we'd channel swap over to check WCW) I watched every second of it and thought I was just watching wrestling.

Turns out I was watching a documentary.

The working-class rebellion of Stone Cold Steve Austin wasn’t just good TV it was 15 million people screaming about NAFTA and stagnant wages and a boss who never faced consequences. The nWo invasion wasn’t just a great storyline, it was globalization anxiety in spandex. The Attitude Era’s anti-heroes didn’t replace the good guys by accident they replaced them because a generation had figured out the good guys weren’t winning in real life.

WWE was reporting the present. Every Monday night. And nobody was paying attention.

On this episode of Checkpoint Thursday, Nate breaks down the Monday Night Wars, the Attitude Era, and why the most honest television of the 1990s was fake fighting on cable.

Also: Repo Man. We need to talk about Repo Man.
