Did Chris Benoit’s murder suicide change WWE to what it is now?

I grew up watching wrestling in the early/mid 90s during the attitude era and stopped watching it around 2000. My son watches wrestling every now and then and I watched some of it with him the other day. It is crap compared to how it used to be. When did it change? Being that I didn’t watch wrestling at the time, did Chris Benoit’s murder suicide change everything?

Going public changed it to what it is now.

Are wrestlers not taking unprotected chair shots anymore?

What was the end game of the Vince McMahon character dying?
They canceled that storyline after Chris Benoit committed the murders.

WWE got much stricter with their drug testing and you started to see fewer obviously juiced up guys. The combination of that, plus HHH taking over NXT and pushing smaller guys, is what led to what we have today. Plus Vince is older and even more out of touch with the younger audience.

That, plus they had run their main competition out. The attitude era took the ratings away from WCW after the monday night wars. Then going public and making it more family friendly exposed them to a broader audience. Superstars were making movies, and the whole brand got so popular that they started the Raw and Smackdown on separate nights.

The best theory I have heard which would have been awesome is that Vince survives the explosion, gets amnesia, and lives among the hobos in the alleyways. He regains his memory and leads an army of hobos back to the WWE to reclaim it from Stephanie and Triple H

not to the head - that was changed a while back to help prevent CTE, well as much as you could anyway
