Aleister Black weighed in on two of WWE’s most prominent Attitude Era conflicts during a recent appearance on the Wrestling the Rap Game Podcast, asserting that the rivalry between ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Vince McMahon held greater significance than the feud involving The Undertaker and Kane.
Black elaborated on his reasoning, highlighting what he perceived as the organic evolution of the Austin-McMahon storyline compared to a more foreseeable trajectory for the storyline between The Undertaker and Kane.
He stated, “Austin, McMahon. Because you could see the writing on the wall with Taker and Kane because you knew that’s where eventually they would go. That story was always on the board, but the Austin, McMahon story kind of formulated as the chemistry live started growing and became more of a thing … I feel fans were talking like, ‘I hope they get to wrestle each other someday,’ and then they eventually did.”
Both interpersonal conflicts were central to WWE programming during the highly popular period of the late 1990s.
