WCW had the upper hand over the Stamford-based company thanks in part to their storyline featuring the renegade group, the “New World Order” (n.W.o.) with former WWE megastars, “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash (Diesel), and Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) who ran all wild over the promotion and WCW programming. WWE were struggling in the ratings and couldn’t compete with WCW at this level, not with their old-school formulas that featured cartoonish characters like “Doink the Clown” and “The Goon”, dated storylines, and taped programming that was constantly spoiled by Eric Bischoff Monday Nitro. McMahon countered with the creation of The Attitude Era. Launching this campaign in late 1997 by pushing the bar with WWE television, heading into a “Jerry Springer” type atmosphere with adult-oriented storytelling, cursing, bra & panties matches, controversial angles, hardcore matches, and more. The Austin-McMahon rivalry, D-Generation X, The Women’s/Divas Division were some of the core components that helped WWE defeat WCW in the ratings war.

The roster would be split up between the two brands, as their respective GM would announce picks for their brand, followed up by a supplemental draft lottery on WWE.com. This was an ingenious idea by McMahon that would help wrestlers get pushed, help create new main event stars for each brand that could otherwise be lost in the shuffle, and emulate the brand vs. brand warfare that we once saw between WWE and WCW beforehand.
