5 ways WWE's Current Era is better than the Attitude Era

#2 The Current Era is more receptive towards WWE Superstars of a smaller stature

There was a time when being a bigger competitor gave you advantages in WWE. After all, the history of wrestling, in general, shows us that bigger wrestlers have tactical advantages.

That is certainly true for any legitimate combat sport to this day, but WWE is a fictional realm where sports and entertainment collide together, and it is a place where miracles happen more often than you'd think.

The David and Goliath trope has been played out several times in WWE, and in today's era, smaller Superstars are more common than a traditional giant.

With the rise of alternative promotions after the Attitude Era, pro-wresting fans got more access to matches where smaller stars put on some of the best bouts in the history of this profession.

As the aura of a giant slowly faded away, WWE also started pushing smaller Superstars for their own fanbase.

Not only are fans treated to more engaging bouts instead of a slow and dull contest between traditional giants, but this movement has also created a demand for bigger wrestlers that are more athletic and appeal better to today's generation of WWE fans, like Drew McIntyre or Keith Lee.
