So the obvious ones are John Cena, Randy Orton and CM Punk.
But who do you think would have made it? What would you have liked to see them involved in? Who would they cross paths with?
Vickie Guerrero definitely would have made it in the Attitude Era. I can just imagine her and Steph having a war of words. And then becoming friends when they both find themselves on the recieving end of The Rock and Jericho's insults.

Anyone who is popular now would have made it in the attitude era I think. If anything, it's harder now with all the restrictions placed upon the wrestlers.
A lot of the divas would be more popular. Even if it was only for competing in bra and panties matches or bikini contests most weeks.

I agree with Burke.
I was making a list and found myself naming half the roster so I just stopped. I think it was alot easier to get over during the attitude era.
The fans actually cared and cheered, and the writing was better. And even though they didn't have the brand split, everything was much more fast paced. They would have backstage segments during matches and usually jam a couple 30 second segments before and after commercials so everyone still got alot of screen time. And the matches were much shorter (well, maybe not the diva matches).
So yeah, I'd say it's alot harder to get over nowadays. So like 65% of the roster could've made it in the attitude era. And made it big. Anyone remember how popular Too Cool and Steve Fucking Blackman were? Yeah. It was easier.

Hypothetically, if there was an Attitude era vs. today's era PPV I'd like to see the following matches/rivalries:
The Rock vs. John Cena
Trish Stratus vs. Maryse
Stone Cold vs. Randy Orton
Chris Jericho (Y2J era) vs. The Miz
Lita (or maybe Sable?) vs. Kelly Kelly
Shawn Michaels vs. CM Punk
Kurt Angle vs. Alberto Del Rio
Mankind vs. Cody Rhodes
Stacy Keibler & Torrie Wilson vs. The Bella Twins
Triple H vs. The Undertaker (they belong to both eras!)
