Austin gives his thoughts on attitude era

In a story done by Wrestlezone's Justin LaBar, He tell Austins feelings on what attitude means to him.

CM Punk's rant on the June 27, 2011 edition of RAW emboldened a vocal audience looking to return to the edgier tone of "The Attitude Era." That, coupled with The Rock's return to the ring, has created a division between people longing for the days of yesteryear and supporters of the current product. Austin comments on what "attitude" means to him.

"It's funny to me that "The Attitude Era" was named that way. Guys and gals in this business have always had attitude. But for some reason, I started cutting off-the-hook promos, and someone wanted to label it 'The Attitude Era.' It's an interesting way to reference that time, but WWE has always had over-the-top, extreme attitudes. I don't think the answer is creating something different, or bringing back the The Attitude Era. I think you need to let these cats fly. Kick them out of the nest to see if they can survive. The cream will rise to the top and the weak is going to fall by the wayside because this is a competitive environment. That's the only way to bring any edge back into the product. It's about letting guys fly, talking from their hearts, and their guts, and their brains. That's what makes for exciting TV. It ain't about 'attitude.' End of story."
