Reality era?


Cross Face Chicken Wing

In defense of Bill, I always thought he was in on the joke of his forced narratives and they were supposed to be cute and funny. Then he hired a bunch of self-serious clones that push these awful narratives with none of the levity. The fact that HHH uses the Reality Era is just so eye-ball roll inducing. He must be trolling.

 

The PG era is probably what will stick to this past decade, but I prefer the Cena era personally.

It felt like an ROH/Super-Indy style era coming with the RAW after WM30 with Bryan/Shield standing tall and what looked like Cesaro being built in the months prior. Thought they were finally going to run highlight those heavy "workrate" matches on top. Brock like the Morishima in it all. I always felt like WWE would evolve into that style for some short period similar to the 90s with ECW and Attitude Era. Punk not being there for it would have been ironic. There is still a hint of it with NXT so who knows.

Reality Era never happened. What examples are there to reflect it besides the Punk promo and maybe the Brock-Cena brawl where he busted him open and they did the Brock promo saying 'This is real.'

 

Yeah, HHH ingrained it in that interview with Cole on RAW before the match with Bryan at WM. But in that context it didn't really mean anything for a "Reality Era" itself. He used it to just say that he was going to shut up the fans and prove that they didn't have any power to change WWE after he defeated DB. It was pretty far from Austin just saying "ALRIGHT, KAYFABE'S DEAD" or whatever actually is supposed to be part of the "Reality Era". Is it fourth wall-ish? Yeah, but it was all 100% natural and in-character.
