WWE titles have always been a lot of fun and having reviewed the past few WWE titles I’ve come to look forward to the epic bouts and the drama that are sure to be present in each title. This year we get something new in WWE ‘13, and after learning about “Attitude Era” my interest was captured immediately. I began watching wrestling back in the glory days (1990’s) and loved the antics of DX, the brashness of Stone Cold and the rise of The People’s Champ, The Rock.
