Hell nah. Maybe in the early part from 1997-1999 Vince was important. He gave a lot of rubs to guys with the corporation storyline but once it became the endless McMahon family feud it was a waste.
Dude was still holding court in 2003. He overstayed his welcome but he really is an awesome character, just should have been used in moderation after the fall of the corporation storyline.

75% of WWF's wrestling style became punches and kicks during the attitude era.

LMAO Jim Ross DX is together DX! DX! DX! Dammit. Classic shit
Can't list 5 reasons either way because I haven't watched any of that stuff since it first aired and can't be too specific. From memory though the 2 main reasons I liked it were 1997 and 1998. I mean I grew up a Rockers fan and never thought I'd see HBK retire when he was finally peaking as a singles competitor or McMahon finally admit to being the owner on screen instead of just being an announcer.
The montreal screwjob to me was a bigger punch in the gut than Hogan going heel since I never saw that live being that I mostly ignored WCW once they fired the Fabolous Blondes. As someone who was watching WWF since the late 80's at that point a lot of it was revolutionary to me. Every single episode of RAW & every ppv was worth watching at that point. You never knew what would happen next.
I got left back in 9th grade partly cause of that shit because I would never do any homework once I got home on Monday nights. WWF was at it's peak at that time and history was being made left and right it was crack. 1999 was kinda wack though. Easily the worst year of that era.
All that momentum got derailed with senseless crap like "I did it for The Rock" and Sexual Chocolate chasing after Chyna and Mae Fucking Young. The only thing that redeemed it was the radicalz and Jericho making the switch since they were the only reason I even watched 10 minutes of Nitro on any given week by that point. For the most part though a lot of it just didn't work for me from what I remember but 2000 got shit back on track too bad 2001 ruined all the goodwill once again and turned me away as a lifelong fan for quite a long time.

Im basically one of the only people willing to criticize that era. People seen to love everything about that era but then i have to bring up Al Snow being fed his own dog, or the repetitive "Val Venis had sex with your wife/sister" type storylines. Those shits got old really quick but seemed I last forever.
You're right that people look back on this era with rose tinted lenses. Likely because it's when many of them became fans but I call a spade a spade. I mean I started watching back when Brutus The Barber Beefcake used to get huge pops and I have no problem shitting on the wacker elements of the golden era. Not back then as a kid and certainly not in retrospect. most of Wrestlemania IV and Virgil being allowed to cut promos on ppv's.
Same with the new generation era. I mean I pretty much hated WM 9 and 11 from the moment they first aired. There was a lot of filler around in the Attitude Era not to the extent of today mind you but when you mentioned Val Venis it brought back to memory another gem from '99. "I choppy your pee pee" smh. Seriously 1999 was the worst year of that decade in WWF history since 1995. Not even 1996 with the shitty failed HBK babyface run with Jose Lothario in Shawn's corner had as much blandness and this was after Razor Ramon (one of my top 3 at the time) straight up bounced and the face of the company (Shawn) was playing a role he obviously was uncomfortable with.

I always hesitate to debate the AE wih people who only watched it on YouTube because they didn't sit through the bullshit I had to.
Dude once was tryna tell me how great St. Valentines Day Massacre was and I remember renting it on tape and having to sit through some terrible matches to get to the two good ones that were on that card. There's no way you cant sell me that event, shit it was trash.

I sat through the attitude era as a teenager...99 was a damn bad year but those angles were insanely over.
Val Venis gimmick did nor get old. They had him join Right To Censor then back to the porn gimmick, that's what killed his heat.

I did it for the rock thing was 2000. The mae young giving birth to a hand was 2000 I believe also.
I fucks with 99. Smackdown just started and shit felt like I was watching a PPV every week b4 it eventually got watered down post Invasion and especially post Brock.

the shit with the AE was that the lowest dude on the roster was getting current top guy pops everybody had storylines and that shit had kids and grown folks stuck watching from start to finish.
now days dont noone wanna see dudes like 3mb and shit

Thing is they made sure there was a reason to watch everyone, they don't do that now.
There's no reason to watch 3MB, they don't do anything at all storyline wise or using their gimmick as opposed to Too Cool who had at least the dancing comedic gimmick even though they were jobbers who didnt do much storyline wise.
