Would you be my new best friends?

Comparing the ratings to the Attitude Era doesn't really work as a direct 1:1 comparison since the amount of options available to viewers (including WHEN they watch the shows they watch) has drastically increased. That said, wrestling definitely cooled off after the Attitude Era and has never really recovered, it's certainly not the major thing it was during the late 90s. Wrestling since then has had cool moments and terrible moments, but hasn't captured the pop culture imagination in anything near the way it did when the nWo was running all over WCW and Steve Austin was waggling his face over Vince McMahon's prone body shouting drunken insults into his face.

It's a lot cooler now than it was 10 years ago.

Yeah, 2005 was pretty goddamn awful.
