Since its formation as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), the organization has paved the way for the evolution of professional wrestling in its century-long existence.
The trend of metamorphosis has been around since the very beginning of WWE’s history; thus, the audience’s preferences and the evolving entertainment industry have been circulated in it. Let’s have our brains poured into the transforming wrestling eras then.
WWE: The Attitude Era
Then came the Attitude Era, whose legacy is undoubtedly the most transformative one in the history of WWE Inc. This was the era that had everything in it: racy storylines, intriguing storylines, and hype. These characteristics showed the world a different style of wrestling entertainment. Like heel-or-the-face actors of present times, superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock were commanding respect and gaining popularity, maybe even beyond the sports entertainment field and to the mainstream culture at large.
Ruthless WWE Aggression
From then on, WWE arrived at the Ruthless Aggression era, when a few changes were introduced that negatively affected the personal connections between the wrestlers and the audience members. While legends like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were still relevant in WWE, new blood such as John Cena, Randy Orton, and Batista led the way, invigorating WWE’s locker room. These historical times were the dawn of the careers of icons who have influenced moviemaking to this day.
The PG Era: Don’t Be Afraid of a New Crowd
Along the way, WWE figured out how to co-exist and progress with the fast-paced nature of the new media landscape. It entered the PG era, which expanded its audience base. ‘WWE’ guided its audience to family-friendly content and communication with the community and became a choice for both young male and older female viewers.
This was the time Ivan Drago and Rocky Balboa fought each other in the ring, which allowed people to see that one could be different and still have what it takes to face their challenges.
The Renaissance Era: WWE’s Revival after COVID-19 Adversity
After going through the period of crisis brought about by COVID-19. WWE is undergoing a regeneration and elevating its business initiatives and creative pursuits. It comes as no surprise that WWE got its own version of the Renaissance era; the show ranked among the live viewership leaders, broke attendance records, and won praise from huge sponsors.
It serves as an endorsement for how steadfast “small p” professional wrestling” is, and yet it remains to be successfully persistent in the face of all adversities. This validates it as a leading sport in entertainment.
