The matches of the Attitude Era left something to be desired, so far as Sheamus is anxious, as there was far more that could possibly be done.
During a recent edition of the “Late Run” podcast, Sheamus discussed his tackle nostalgia, saying that memories are sometimes higher than the moment. He said,
“I believe there’s an enormous thing for nostalgia. Like you usually think back like especially whenever you’re younger as a child, right? Because all the pieces is you bought quite a bit less stuff to fret about whenever you’re a child, right? Let’s be honest.
“And so they’re fun times, hanging out together with your mates, whatever, playing football within the park, whatever that’s. But I believe there’s at all times a thing about nostalgia — it feels higher than what it’s.”
Sheamus brought up the Attitude Era for instance, arguing that fans often look back on the wrestling era through rose-tinted glasses. He said,
“You return and sometimes like everyone talks in regards to the Attitude Era. The Attitude Era was like balls to the wall, right? Anything goes. But in case you return and take a look at lots of those matches, they’re similar to 6,000 kicks, 6,000 punches. The group were so hot. What made that era so great was the group. The group are only nuts.”
While the Attitude Era has been celebrated amongst fans for a long time, the era has come under a more critical eye lately.
The consensus amongst many is that the era lasted from the Montreal Screwjob in late 1997, to the tip of the InVasion angle 4 years later.
