I say early attitude era, around 1997-1998, possibly creeping into 1999. I say this not for what WWE offered, which was undoubtedly good (minus the SS Screwjob), but because at this point every company was doing quite well. WWE was approachig its peak, WCW was nearing the end of its peak, but still doing well, and ECW was also at its peak. Wherever you turned there was good wrestling, good storylines, good everything. 1998/1999 was wrestling as a whole's best period IMO.
