Shawn Michaels Talks About The Attitude Era Compared To Other Eras

The Christian Post has an interview with Shawn Michaels at this link, who was promoting his new book, Wrestling For My Life. During the interview, Michaels talked about wrestling always being more of a PG product than it was the Attitude Era.

“It was very successful and lucrative for the guys in it at that time but when wrestling first went sort of mainstream so to speak in the 80s, with Hulk Hogan in it, that was certainly more PG than it was Attitude Era,” said Michaels. “I would say that way back when in the 50s when it was again on at primetime it was the Gorgeous George era, it was more, certainly more realistic but it wasn’t Attitude Era.

“People talk about the Attitude Era as if it was some kind of longstanding, it was a four-year run out of a line of work that’s been around for fifty-plus years.”
