Indeed The Attitude Era was crazy. 97 to me was a great year prior to The Attitude era. Was in few aspects sad as the year was closer to coming to an end but such a fun year to follow when considering both sides of The Monday Night War. Was WrestleMania 13 from then on watching the transition just the beginning of that year the big hunts one being the Slammys 97. Still had its goofiness but such early hints def set the mold in the direction WWF had to go thanks to WCW forcing Vince to do so. Wasn't til 98 when WWF brought in Tyson for WrestleMania 14 they were more mainstream and Austin to me was solidified a full Babyface his transition was quite interesting. Like no matter what Vince McMahon tried to or not tried Austin became one of those stars no matter what WWF could edit the crowd fx or audience responses all they(Vince) wanted, wrestlers like HBK could do whatever they could (if any intention) there was no stopping the buzz Stone Cold already had and eventually became an understatement. Other than a disqualification I believe at an In Your House ppv 1997 in Rochester NY following WrestleMania 13 (disqualification) Austin never defeated Bret Hart via pin or submission throughout their feud. To me it's said as a good thing the fact he never had to beat Bret to get over and stay over. Bret didn't have to loose to Austin to get Austin over. Hell I believe had Bret never left WWF regardless of how fans felt of him or how well or not so well he would've transitioned into The Attitude Era promo wise Austin and Bret's matches were so good their feud it could've continued to spill into 98 or come back into fruition for a second if not more than one more time and still received great criticism. Broken neck or not Bret was great at making wrestlers of all sizes and styles look good whether they're 100% or not he knew how to compensate when injuries or whatever damage was concerned. Great example Btet Hart vs Razor Ramon Royal Rumble 93 title match. Would've never thought Scott Hall went into that match recovering from a knee injury. Hart knew how to work around that looking out for him and making the Razor Ramon character out to be a challenge. Such a fun match and great small build up to watch

To be fair, Vince himself said that when Ted Turner called him to declare that the latter is in the rasslin' business, the former responded that he's in the entertainment business. Meaning that the matches themselves were an afterthought for the WWE. Dave Meltzer gave lots of 5-star match ratings for WCW, NJPW, AJPW, etc... but before NXT TakeOver was a thing, only five for WWE.
@jp3813 Жыл бұрын
@@jp3813 and notice how WCW is no longer a thing now. For all his faults, Vince understood entertainment and how to put on an amazing show (until the last ten or so years) he also single-handedly ended the era of the territories either consuming them or putting them out of business entirely and truly brought wrestling to the mainstream. Yes the actual wrestling is important, but he knew American/ Western audiences preferred characters, people that resonated with the audience in some shape or form whether it be relatability or hatred etc, and that character work came first because it gave a reason TO watch the matches. The way Vince sees it is “who cares about a five star rating from some smark, when I just out Madison square garden and got a million PPV buys and the other show couldn’t even get 20,000 fans to show up but did get five stars.” And until his last couple of years at the head of WWE he was always able to ADAPT with the times, which was also extremely vital. Where other companies refused to change with the times Vince always saw the curve and because of it remained two steps ahead. Idk man he’s a terrible person in my eyes and I strongly dislike him but he’s also a genius to me it’s crazy.

You should definitely cover the 80s. The highest Nielsen rating that the Monday Night Wars achieved for a single show was 8.1 when Raw went unopposed, while the highest for Nitro was 6.0, also unopposed. Even if you combine those numbers despite them happening on different dates, they still don't reach the 1st Main Event special's 15.2 in 1988 [33 million viewers] that remains an all-time record for the business to this day. Raw's most-watched segment on TV was Austin vs Taker on 06/28/99, which achieved a 9.5 rating [10.72 million viewers] after Nitro went off the air eight minutes early. Yet the entirety of the 2nd Main Event special drew an 11.6, the 3rd w/ 12.8, the 4th w/ 8.6, & the 5th w/ 6.7 in '91. The original 31-episode run of Saturday Night's Main Event also drew bigger show ratings in general [reaching a zenith of 11.6] than either Raw or Smackdown [the latter maxing out at 5.8, merely two decimals above the NWA's 1st Clash of the Champions] during their respective heydays. Those are just some of the reasons why The Golden Era is officially referred to as such.

Thank you! You just bridge the gap for me. I stoped watching around the end of 91 and started watching again around the end of 97. When I started watching again I couldn’t believe how things had changed from the neon, cartoonish style I had grown up with to the darker Attitude Era. Al’s well as how did the mild mannered face commentator (Vince McMahon, who was only rumored to be the owner back the ) morph into the heel who was not only the owner but flaunted it. Now you just showed me comprehensively what exactly happened in those years.

This was great. I grew up with this era, I'm not sure whether to feel old or glad I was a part of all of this. My doctor growing up was Dr. Romascavage in PA, who was also the doctor for most of the wrestlers (he was in the hell in a cell with Foley when he fell and is in the footage) I got to talk to The Rock on the phone, and meet a lot of the wrestlers of the day. It was a great time to be a kid. Every Monday night was awesome, every pay per view (which I would get illegally with the 2 pennies in the cable box) are memories I will forever have. I went to a lot of house shows, got autographs and pictures with Mankind, The Hardy Boyz & Lita, Jerry The King etc. I will always remember this time. Thank you WWF and all the superstars for making my childhood nothing short of Amazing 🙏🙏🙏

Hogan was a giant baby and a habitual liar. When the warrior won Hogan had to stick around for warriors celebration to hog the limelight just like throughout his entire career. Another time was when Randy Savage won and he had to stick around to shit on Macho Man's time to shine. He's a piece of shit too. He made undertaker think he botched a tombstone on Hogan and for 2 years had to live with that guilt. He finally watched the footage and hogan's head never touched the chair but he sold it that his neck was fucked up. I'm glad I wasn't a hulkamaniac I wanted Andre the giant to win wrestlemania 3 and I wanted savage to win also and I was ecstatic that the warrior had won fuck Terry. He's a piece of shite lmao

Those must be some good memories ❤
This is foolish talk - the mid-80s was KING !!!! The 90s was palpable decline into McMahonesque sleaze....
Why?
Definitely makes me think of my pops and how great this era of tv was
@@TomasFunes-rt8rdI agree . I'd say 1985-1989 was absolutely the peak. Tag team division was STACKED. The only crime in that Era was too many stars and only 3 titles(world, ic, tag). Mr perfect, Don muraco, studd, bundy, orndorff, piper, rude, bravo, bossman, gang/akeem, valentine, beefcake and on and on. There should have been at least 3 more singles titles, and another lower tag title.
One regret of this Era is not seeing Owen Hart win the title. He was amazing!!!!!
Don't forget Razor Ramon. Or the many remaining 80s wrestlers during the early 90s: Ted DiBiase, Roddy Piper, Jake Roberts, Mr. Perfect, etc...
No, he wasn´t that great, IC- title maximum
That for sure. Piper never having the title, he could have been the face. I don't think the Undertaker got a run like he should have, mainly because he lived in the main card. They never put a mid-card belt on Taker.
@@jonnygobang87 Taker's a multi-time tag team champ and a one-time hardcore champ. I believe he never wanted a lengthy run as world champ b/c his gimmick was strong enough on its own.
@larswagner8722 Got to say, I agree. Owen gets over-eulogised because of his tragic death.
I was a 80s kid and a teen thru the 90s and I consider the 90s to be the last greatest era of all time. WWE Attitude Era was legendary, I got hooked about 1998, the storylines were epic and hilarious. Rip Attitude Era, you are missed badly!
i grew up with bret hart as my favorite one. but most of bret's rivals, i love them also even when i was young. owen hart, shawn michaels. mr.perfect. i had a tough time to adjust with the new stone cold era. but when i am looking back, i am ok with stone cold. that was a clear turn around and his personality was perfect at that time and he acts it perfectly. but i still dont understand how the rock became a superstar. his character is so shallow, i dont even know what it is. i think it switched to flashy shallow antics era. bret hart, stone cold, even its all act but u could feel there is something realistic underneath. i dont fell it from the rock. thats when i turned off.... then of course the wwe got bigger with the rock that made me think how shallow the people are overall....
Indeed The Attitude Era was crazy. 97 to me was a great year prior to The Attitude era. Was in few aspects sad as the year was closer to coming to an end but such a fun year to follow when considering both sides of The Monday Night War. Was WrestleMania 13 from then on watching the transition just the beginning of that year the big hunts one being the Slammys 97. Still had its goofiness but such early hints def set the mold in the direction WWF had to go thanks to WCW forcing Vince to do so. Wasn't til 98 when WWF brought in Tyson for WrestleMania 14 they were more mainstream and Austin to me was solidified a full Babyface his transition was quite interesting. Like no matter what Vince McMahon tried to or not tried Austin became one of those stars no matter what WWF could edit the crowd fx or audience responses all they(Vince) wanted, wrestlers like HBK could do whatever they could (if any intention) there was no stopping the buzz Stone Cold already had and eventually became an understatement. Other than a disqualification I believe at an In Your House ppv 1997 in Rochester NY following WrestleMania 13 (disqualification) Austin never defeated Bret Hart via pin or submission throughout their feud. To me it's said as a good thing the fact he never had to beat Bret to get over and stay over. Bret didn't have to loose to Austin to get Austin over. Hell I believe had Bret never left WWF regardless of how fans felt of him or how well or not so well he would've transitioned into The Attitude Era promo wise Austin and Bret's matches were so good their feud it could've continued to spill into 98 or come back into fruition for a second if not more than one more time and still received great criticism. Broken neck or not Bret was great at making wrestlers of all sizes and styles look good whether they're 100% or not he knew how to compensate when injuries or whatever damage was concerned. Great example Btet Hart vs Razor Ramon Royal Rumble 93 title match. Would've never thought Scott Hall went into that match recovering from a knee injury. Hart knew how to work around that looking out for him and making the Razor Ramon character out to be a challenge. Such a fun match and great small build up to watch
Same as you and completely agree
You know the WWF was great in this era when you don’t have to watch a match to be crazily entertained. The pre match buildups were so awesome. I would literally go to blockbuster every week and rent a WWF video
Yep same here. Like everything else, it's lost its luster because it's so easily accessible now.
I used to rent WWF videos as well. I would love to own the whole Attitude Era box set and re-watch every episode in order. I would take VHS before DVD just to give it more of a authentic feel.
To be fair, Vince himself said that when Ted Turner called him to declare that the latter is in the rasslin' business, the former responded that he's in the entertainment business. Meaning that the matches themselves were an afterthought for the WWE. Dave Meltzer gave lots of 5-star match ratings for WCW, NJPW, AJPW, etc... but before NXT TakeOver was a thing, only five for WWE.
@@jp3813 and notice how WCW is no longer a thing now. For all his faults, Vince understood entertainment and how to put on an amazing show (until the last ten or so years) he also single-handedly ended the era of the territories either consuming them or putting them out of business entirely and truly brought wrestling to the mainstream. Yes the actual wrestling is important, but he knew American/ Western audiences preferred characters, people that resonated with the audience in some shape or form whether it be relatability or hatred etc, and that character work came first because it gave a reason TO watch the matches. The way Vince sees it is “who cares about a five star rating from some smark, when I just out Madison square garden and got a million PPV buys and the other show couldn’t even get 20,000 fans to show up but did get five stars.” And until his last couple of years at the head of WWE he was always able to ADAPT with the times, which was also extremely vital. Where other companies refused to change with the times Vince always saw the curve and because of it remained two steps ahead. Idk man he’s a terrible person in my eyes and I strongly dislike him but he’s also a genius to me it’s crazy.

I’ll never forget Heenan after the super kick & being thrown thru the glass saying “Janetty just tried to jump thru the window” 😂
None better then "The Brain" the true GOAT imo. The Janetty line PURE GOLD
“The Brain” was right. An act of sheer cowardice from Jannetty that hasn’t been seen since then.
@@juice6941 😂
I rewind that part at least 10 times Everytime it comes up I laugh so hard my stomach muscles cramp the way he said it would've really had you believing he tried to
@@yuuungm1638 💯!!! I hated Heenan as a kid but looking back he was really good. If you hated him that means he was doing his job
Vince really came out with a Great Value Diesel & Razor Ramón like we wouldn't notice 💀.
Bret was an absolute master. He proved it this night.
Honestly Vince saved his own company with his character and the storyline with stone cold, one might even say Shane had a big part in it too with some of his matches and story lines. The attitude era and Monday night wars was an awesome time as a wrestling fan
Very True💯💯💯
Saved his own company, after he killed the professional wrestling business.
@@Bevin_Krennan you not lying..him buying up or running off all the Territories was the worst thing that could have happened to professional wrestling
@@timduke4616 Not just that. Never mind his countless underhanded dealings, various sexual allegations, and letting unscrupulous behaviors go unabated.
Shane deserves mention when attitude era is discussed. After Austin, Rock and Vince, Shane was as significant as any other personality
Wrestling's best decade. Period. I used to watch wrestling since 1999. The WWF in the 90s had stars like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Roddy Piper, The Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, Mick Foley, and others. This is the best decade of the 20th century.
WWF had a bigger audience in the 1980s compared to the 1990s, but WCW was only competitive in the 1990s, so it is 50/50 between the two for me.
That's true.
It's hard to argue eras because so much of wrestling is nostalgia for your childhood. I know Wrestlemania IX sucked to most people, but my grandpa taped the PPV and sent me the VHS tape and I would watch it over and over. As bad as it may have really been, it has a place in my heart and I think most fans feel the same way about their childhood era.
Best days
@Hand Solo yea my top 10 of wrestlers has wcw and wwf guys.
I'm 43 so I was able to see the hulkamania era along with the attitude era and now this current social media era.. The hulkamania era was a great fit for the late 80's because that was the innocent culture comic book hero at that time.... But once the 90's hit, the whole "say your prayers and eat your vitamins" good guys schtick got tired and the 90's were more high energy, heavy metal (and remember there was nooooo social media then) to me 1990-2010 was the best era in WWE/F And also is the 90's there was still a debate if pro wrestling was actually "real"
Man i grew up watching wrestling in these years and loved it as a kid. Until the UFC came out then i quit watching wrestling and became a huge MMA fan. But this was a good trip down memory lane. Crazy how well this was put together.
bro, the first 5 UFC tapes😮😍 dudes were fighting crazy opponents WAY outta their weight classes😂 only rules was no hits in the balls and no eye gouging! that was the ONLY rules!
That's when UFC was good.... I stopped watching it after them days nothing like Gracie or Dan the beast or Don fry shamrock@@eatassonthefirstdate
This was the only Era I watched, I even went to a match with my pops once. Never could catch on to saying WWE. It will forever be WWF for me.
I've been watching since '85. The 90's were definitely the best decade for wrestling. Not just with WWF. I loved WCW in the early-mid 90's too. The best decisions Vince made in the early 90's was pushing Bret & Shawn as singles wrestlers. The worst creative decision was have Sgt. Slaughter become an anti-American. It just didn't make sense.
RaIdErNaTiOn 74..I've been a wrestling fan since 1983 enjoyed the last days of the territories days with WCCW ,AWA and UWF.... Vince pushing Bret and HBK while a good idea Vince clearly didn't want to but do to the Steroid Scandal he had no choice. Sgt. Slaughter become an anti-American was stupid thing to do but not a suprise since Vince likes to use Real life issues into the WWF.
What about bret hart anti American segment?
@@GAURAV25855ify I thought it was great. Bret had spent the last several years as a babyface & this was a way to reinvent him. Plus, what made it unique was he was really only a heel in America. He was Still loved almost everywhere else.
@@patrickperalta59 Plus, it was done to punish Sgt. Slaughter for starring in _G.I. Joe_ when he had a falling out with the company prior to his return.
@@patrickperalta59were the territories as glorious to watch as they make it out to be nowadays or just average?
The 90s despite it's ups and downs especially in 93 - 95, i overall loved it because it not only gave us so many iconic moments but we saw a whole crop of guys come in to become big stars with some going on to becoming legends and household names. For me, the 90s was an amazing time to be a wrestling fans
Say what you will about 93 but I did cheer when Lex slammed Yokozuna lol
I was 9 in ‘95 it was definitely the peak of my wrestling fandom. Had no idea it sucked so bad haha. I was enthralled.
Amazing time to be alive.
I actually liked 93-95 as a kid. I had no idea it was bad. I still refuse to accept it as bad.
@@NickG8420 '93 & '94 had redeeming qualities, unlike '95 (great year for ECW though).
You should definitely cover the 80s. The highest Nielsen rating that the Monday Night Wars achieved for a single show was 8.1 when Raw went unopposed, while the highest for Nitro was 6.0, also unopposed. Even if you combine those numbers despite them happening on different dates, they still don't reach the 1st Main Event special's 15.2 in 1988 [33 million viewers] that remains an all-time record for the business to this day. Raw's most-watched segment on TV was Austin vs Taker on 06/28/99, which achieved a 9.5 rating [10.72 million viewers] after Nitro went off the air eight minutes early. Yet the entirety of the 2nd Main Event special drew an 11.6, the 3rd w/ 12.8, the 4th w/ 8.6, & the 5th w/ 6.7 in '91. The original 31-episode run of Saturday Night's Main Event also drew bigger show ratings in general [reaching a zenith of 11.6] than either Raw or Smackdown [the latter maxing out at 5.8, merely two decimals above the NWA's 1st Clash of the Champions] during their respective heydays. Those are just some of the reasons why The Golden Era is officially referred to as such.
@@iamme25yago While convenience has greatly improved, I don't think the WWE considers any era after the early 2000s as a boom period. Hence, my comparison was mainly Golden vs Attitude.
The Women’s Championship was reactivated in 1993 and Alondra Blaze won a tournament in December of that year to crown her as the inaugural champion.
Thanks, was hoping someone else would catch that. Especially considering madusa threw that title in that trash on nitro in 95, pretty important moment in the Monday night wars.
@@xoversayou know Alondra Blaze was Madusa right??
I was literally born in 1990, my first time watching wrestling was seeing Stone Cold get up in Mike Tyson’s face and I was hooked ever since
I was also born In September 1990, and I fell in love with wrestling in 1995. My brother and I would switch between wCw & WWF. I stopped watching wrestling back in 2007 or so.
@@kingjay239 that's about the same time I stopped watching to... And I use to consider myself the biggest wrestling fan ever during 1990-2010 and now I have noooo use for it... I shifted to UFC and MMA full time in 2010 issh
I was born Jan 1990 been watching both since 94/95 I stopped in 04’ it started getting too pg den the guys I grew up on either fell off or retired HBK & Austin were my favorite then Taker pre American bad ass!!!
That was a badass moment. My first memory of wrestling was a PPV match (Forgot which PPV it was) between HHH Vs Sgt Slaughter. I was hooked ever since.
@@JC-le3sy yea I remember seeing some of the “new generation” era when I was a kid too but it never hooked me in, when I seen Austin that’s when i was like ok this comes on every Monday?? I have to see the next episode…but I can relate to what u said about the ruthless aggression/pg era too, I warmed up to it later on but in the beginning I fell off…I coudnt take wrestling serious with Austin and Rock being gone and guys like JBL and Edge being world champions lol
Yep I'm 36 and for me and my 2 older brothers, this was life, and was for sure the best Era! I feel I grew up in a amazing time I loved my childhood! Glad you made this video
Fun story in case anyone is curious: I actually worked with Boris Zhukov, he's a truck driver for the company I worked for. He's getting close to retirement so they gave him an office position a couple months ago, he works in recruiting. I used to drive with him at the distribution center I was dedicated out of and see him everyday. Really cool guy but likes to keep to himself so I never bothered him much. He actually had the name Boris Zhukov put on the side of his truck too, I wonder if anyone made the connection that it was really him.
Yeah, the Taker was not only an awesome gimmick, but I'm so glad it didnt go to waste by being portrayed by someone else..bc Mark was destined to be huge, and the gimmick had the potential to be big. It was the perfect marriage of talent-gimmick..
Shawn Michaels was the center of controversy in and around the entire World Wrestling Federation during the 1990s. The Rockers Breakup on December 4, 1991, airing on January 12, 1992 as part of WWF Superstars Of Wrestling right into the 1998 Royal Rumble and the injury to his lower back and the loss of the WWF Championship at WrestleMania XIV, WWF Commissioner. 1 failed reign as Intercontinental Champion (3rd), 2 failed reigns as WWF Champion (1st, 2nd), 2 failed reigns as World Tag Team Champion (1st, 2nd), 2× Royal Rumble Winner
If it wasn't for the attitude era I would of never fallen in love with wrestling. I was five when I saw the rattlesnake deliver his historical iconic Austin 3:16 promo. Thank you
do you lake the rock
Used to do srunners in the hallway lol good times
I remember the first match I remember seeing was Undertaker vs Kane at Unforgiven.
Holy nostalgia trip. Well done man. Used to watch Saturday Night's Main Event with my dad in the late 80's, and never miss a show until about 1993.
Talk about nostalgia! I'm 36 now and unless you experienced 90s wrestling personally, you'll never be able to understand one of the most memorable epochs that is 90s wrestling. This period had a profound effect on my childhood that was both compelling as well as influential. I can only empathize for the countless souls that missed this era. The 90s was the last great decade in my opinion and I can only weep for those of you who weren't there.
The 90's was honestly the best period for WWF/WWE...so many changes and new legends were born...As always appreciate these videos 👌🏻👌🏻
Appreciate it bro, year in review 2000 coming next 💪🏻💪🏻
Agreed. 98 and 99 were the most entertaining time period for WWE.
I have to say Flair was one of the best!! Also Sherri was way underrated as one of the best heel managers of all time!!! IMO
She was mad hot
That’s fair to Flair
I was at MSG for Wrestlemania X! My friend’s uncle was a pro wrestler at the time for one of the many different associations. He sweared to us that Shawn Michaels getting knocked off the ladder and landing on his balls on the ropes wasn’t in the script… but it was a defining moment
Wow what a decade. Brings back so many memories. I’m 39 and so glad to have through this era. I wish I still had all my toys😢
2 days before his debut Mark Calloway had lost on WCW Saturday Night to Sting as a jobber. It was so funny to me to see him walk out as a zombie in the WWF and become such a huge star.
Every WWE Match of The Year of the 90s (for me honestly): 1990 - Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior (Wrestlemania VI) 1991 - Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Mr. Perfect (SummerSlam) 1992 - The British Bulldog vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart (SummerSlam) 1993 - Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Mr. Perfect (King of The Ring) 1994 - Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon (Wrestlemania X) 1995 - Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Diesel (Survivor Series) 1996 - Shawn Michaels vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart (Wrestlemania XII) 1997 - Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (Wrestlemania 13) 1998 - The Undertaker vs. Mankind (King of The Ring) 1999 - Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz (No Mercy)
Disagree with 96 moty for me Austin And Hart Survivor Series is match of the year
*whattah mark*
What was so good about Undertaker/Mankind match? Highly overrated
@@radentstwo9793 Maybe you haven't watched wrestling back when kid. Mankind vs Undertaker was *NOT* highly overrated. You're a 6 year old.
@@radentstwo9793 u overrated that match one of wee best ever
why are some parts of video blurred out ? while the video also shows plenty of other footage ??
Thank you! You just bridge the gap for me. I stoped watching around the end of 91 and started watching again around the end of 97. When I started watching again I couldn’t believe how things had changed from the neon, cartoonish style I had grown up with to the darker Attitude Era. Al’s well as how did the mild mannered face commentator (Vince McMahon, who was only rumored to be the owner back the ) morph into the heel who was not only the owner but flaunted it. Now you just showed me comprehensively what exactly happened in those years.
U😮hfffffir get😅jj
It’s crazy as a kid I loved Hulk and then Shawn. But as an adult I find out what assholes they were and all the backstage BS they pulled. Hurts the heart of the kid that still lives in me
If they hadn't done what they did the kid in you would never have been able to see there greatness
I agree they were bitches. Refusing to lose getting people canned for a bad day. They killed any potential stars turning them into jobbers while holding the the company hostage by threatening quitting etc. I liked hbk at 1st but just like Hogan it became stale and sour that they always won no matter what. The Calgary screw job was the worst tho. Made the man lose at home to his own finisher. That's fucked up
@@robvarley3091 say it again cuz i think he and the people who liked his comment understand you
No one is perfect. They are just people like you and I. I love Hulk the character, while the person...may not be my favorite. Same with Shawn. They were dicks, but damn did they put on a show.
@@luckylefty914 they think people are perfect lmao what makes a legend its their ego, without an ego and ambition they aint going nowhere
I literally watched this entire 3 hour video. I cried, smiled, then cried again. I remembered all of this and was proud to witness that era of wrestling.
Born in 1985 watched it religiously 89-03... never will be nothing like it again
Taker one of the best things to ever happen to wrestling... Bret Hart changing who was capable of being world champion was amazing for the underdogs.
This was great. I grew up with this era, I'm not sure whether to feel old or glad I was a part of all of this. My doctor growing up was Dr. Romascavage in PA, who was also the doctor for most of the wrestlers (he was in the hell in a cell with Foley when he fell and is in the footage) I got to talk to The Rock on the phone, and meet a lot of the wrestlers of the day. It was a great time to be a kid. Every Monday night was awesome, every pay per view (which I would get illegally with the 2 pennies in the cable box) are memories I will forever have. I went to a lot of house shows, got autographs and pictures with Mankind, The Hardy Boyz & Lita, Jerry The King etc. I will always remember this time. Thank you WWF and all the superstars for making my childhood nothing short of Amazing 🙏🙏🙏
Curt Henning was a very underrated wrestler back in the 90s. His talent was undeniable, but the talent back then drowned out his greatness. Mr. Perfect was never my favorite wrestler. I did, however, admire his talent. He's one of the wrestlers that could make a work look absolutely real.
How things would have changed if hogan didn't cry about winning the rumble and Hennig won it
@A Simple Heroin User I believe wrestling would have been a lot better without hogan. He was a fraud. Me and my friends knew it and looked forward to someone whopping him
I was a kid in this era and it holds a special place in my heart. You did a great job of capturing each year. The quick intro to the year in pop culture is great and you hit all the important bullet points of each event as fast as possible. Great vid bro
Im 18 almost 19 and i wish I could've been alive to watch this era. I grew up on the early 2010's. I'd say 2012 was when I watched it the most.
Byeah...
Reminds me of lying about my age to get into the theatre, and a couple years later a bar :D

Im a 80s kid and grew up with my brothers watching the WWF during the 80s,. Seeing shawn micheal again brings back memories. He was always my crush. You can never beat the 90s
Loved this era. I grew up loving the Hart Foundation. Then to see Bret going on to have so much success was unreal. Bret v Mr Perfect had to be the greatest matches ever. I’d love to have seen them both wrestle Rick Rude. Would have been classics. 👍👍👍👍👍
I remember fondly when wrestling used to be on Saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m., This was from the early 80s to I think the mid-90s, Was never a Hogan fan but I can say one of the biggest highlights for me was the first time that the Ultimate Warrior came out , Wow when he would run full blast to the ring and then proceeded to go crazy for like 5 minutes LOL, only to find out years and years later that he didn't get along with most of the other wrestlers and they all said the same thing that after he would do that run to the ring and bounce back and forth between the ropes he was basically all done he was spent, unfortunately he didn't last very long in WWF,
The 90’s belonged to Hart and his rivalries with Austin and HBK then McMahon.
It's still real to me damnt
Just imagine if there was triple threat matches back then? The main event at mania 7 would be savage VS Warrior Vs Hogan for the WWE title, that would be crazy!
Wrestlemania 3: hogan vs andre vs bundy. Poor hogan 😂😅😅
Steamboat/savage/honky IC title.
Bret/perfect/tornado IC BELT
In 97 I moved in with my uncle who wanted both WCW n WWF at the same time always flipping back n forth n got me watching again after yrs of not watching I was all the way WCW at the beginning just loved that story but bye the end of 98 I was slowly watching WWF more the Rock was my favorite wrestler ever n I loved Stone Cold too n between them n the other storylines in the attitude era I was straight up WWF bye the end of the 90s n early 00s that era is the greatest in wrestling history easily
This video must have taken you ages to make!!! I had this whole thing on doing work on my computer and it brought back so much nostalgia! Awesome stuff Andy.
😂z
98-02 was such a great era. Chyna was actually be able to compete with the guys without it looking gimmicky. Jericho and Benoit had a great storyline, Rock and Triple H too. Even the hardcore division with the Hollys was fantastic. And Mick Foley was the icing on top with Undertaker and Kane. I could go on for hours. It felt like half the division could have been a worthy champion.
98-02...try again!
Her title reign was nothing more than a shot at Jarret as he was threatening to leave the company unless Vince paid him more. Vince paid him more but wanted to embarrass him on the ay out. Had nothing to do with her accolades or how over she was, When in fact unless she was paired with someone she was a snooze fest
Wrestling was so big in the UK at that time, that we even got televised sumo wrestling! I'd already been following Yokozuna competing during his sumo period :D

You stated the Womens Title was deactivted until 1998. It was actually brought back in 1993 with Medusa (as Alundra Blayze) winning a tournemant. It was deactivated again when Madusa left for WCW (the trash can incident) in 1995.
I remember when Owen Hart became a "Phantom Champion". It was a coliseum home video, in a Lumberjack Match. For that couple minutes it was incredible seeing Owen high on the heels' shoulders holding the WWF Championship. They shoulda kept it and have Bret win it back at SummerSlam. Would anyone know where to find the video of the match ??
Vince McMahon's reneging on his promise to the Warrior has a classic Machiavellian justification

#WWFRules I always and still watch the Attitude Era & WCW and I grew up watching the Attitude Era!🙏Thank you for this Special video sir😎
95-00 is arguably the BEST 5 years in the business. Loved it all.
1985-90
95 was literally their worst year.
How come some of the video gets blurred out?
90s was the ultimate decade. Music, entertainment, sports, etc.
You're telling facts.
For wrestling and videogames, sure. For movies and music though, I think the 80s was tops. Sports we can call a draw.
@@megavolt67 Fox Kids, ABC Kids, Saturday mornings with cereal. There's nothing like it. 😊
90s golden age of TV before the internet stars
@@megavolt67the 00s were definitely better for video games and it's not even close
As a new fan of wrestling this channel is the bEST! It gives me all the history that I need to know to have conversations with my family about what they thought about wrestling at the time as they lived through it. I already know that the full early 2000's and 2010's review is going to be something else.
Also check out OSW review -- they do every ppv from the hulkamania era and it's also amazing listening.
I'd say check out wrestling bios, too.
That decade was hell of a roller coaster for wwf. Thanks for the nostalgia. I didnt mind even its 3 hrs, it brings back memories especially the infamous montreal screw job. Damn wwf is such a big part of my life ❤️❤️❤️
So the women's title was retired with Robin and brought back in 98 with Jackie. Why we skipping Medusa???
I was a huge wrestling fan at this time I was 16 and 1990. And I remember all of this and what really bothered me was when the warrior beat Hogan they didn't congratulate the warrior the first thing they said was Hogan takes another step towards immortality. Even at the time I felt that that was a giant cop out and Hogan was a giant baby.
Hogan was a giant baby and a habitual liar. When the warrior won Hogan had to stick around for warriors celebration to hog the limelight just like throughout his entire career. Another time was when Randy Savage won and he had to stick around to shit on Macho Man's time to shine. He's a piece of shit too. He made undertaker think he botched a tombstone on Hogan and for 2 years had to live with that guilt. He finally watched the footage and hogan's head never touched the chair but he sold it that his neck was fucked up. I'm glad I wasn't a hulkamaniac I wanted Andre the giant to win wrestlemania 3 and I wanted savage to win also and I was ecstatic that the warrior had won fuck Terry. He's a piece of shite lmao
Good point
Agreed. My opinion of him was always that he was a limited wrestler, could not cut a promo and had a fragile ego. After what his son did to his own best friend and Hogan and his vile wife just got him out of jail and babied him, I thought he was a POS person all round.
Hogan lies about everything, Fook him
I was 4 when the 90s came.....best decade of my life. I did love my teen in the 00ts, but my heart is still in the 90s
It's probably been mentioned already but thr WWF women's title was revived in 1994, with Alundra Blayze (bka Madusa Micelli) winning in a tournament to become champion.
What's up with all the blurred out scenes? It's killin me
To prevent copyright from pulling the video
Born in 87 been a fan since 92 and grew up in this era. The BEST era
I was hooked on The Undertaker from the moment the character debuted. Before that I didn't watch much wrestling aside from the Road Warriors in the NWA. 10 yr old me couldn't resist the creepy stuff the Undertaker pulled of and I was stuck right thru to his retirement.
I used to love watching wrestling I'm 35 the attitude Era was everything and when we had wwf vs WCW omg what a time to love wrestling 😢 I haven't watched in years I don't know none of the people now
90s was best for pretty much for everything, from tv to music to basketball to wrestling to even fashion. Thanks 90s
I turned 12 years old in 1990. I am very thankful that I grew up in an amazing time for wrestling. NWA/WCw and WWF were phenomenal during the 80's and 90's. It was so awesome to be a teenager during the peak of wrestling. The Monday Night war was incredible and very real. It most likely will never happen again.
happy new yea
1983-2003 was the greatest 20 year stretch in Wrestling History! Sooooo much happened in that time period. I may be biased as 83 was when I first started watching wrestling and y 2003 I was in my mid 20’s and just didn’t like it as much as pretty much all the stars I grew up loving (Hogan, Savage, Flair, Rock, SCSA to name a few) we’re all basically gone. The following eras had their own stars to be fair, but imo, to this day, the greatest wrestlers of all time still wrestled during this era
I can't see the blurs sir
its funny the things you remember from when you were a kid , I remember when they announced the very first WrestleMania , Hard to believe it was way back in 1985, I can remember talking about it with my cousin and the anticipation, even though I wasn't getting the pay-per-view because we couldn't afford it I knew a lot of eventually would spill over onto TV,
The good thing is We had seen this Era and the bad thing is those moments will never come back 😔
I grew up in the 90s but my parents never let me watch wrestling so I'm using this video to understand the references my friends keep making
You missed some gold, my friend! But this is a hellova catch-up ride :)
Also check out OSW Review! Great channel and they cover all the 80s and 90s pay-per-views from both WWF and WCW!
Why wouldn’t they let you watch wrestling ? Too violent ? Not asking to be a dick/mean but genuinely curious
As a kid the Undertaker stories weren't all bad, just underwhelming. You were just rooting for The Undertaker to win no matter who he fought. He's probably the only wrestler I've rooted for to win no matter who he went up against.
Vince telling Rick Rude that his body wasn't good enough, is probably the most ridiculous thing ever spoken in wrestling history. Ravishing had arguably the greatest body in wrestling history, and in my opinion was the perfect looking size for a believable, take all challengers champion. He looked like he could take athletic guys and big bruisers. Vince has always been 2 steps back though.
Hard to believe it's true.
You could do videos of every year through the 2000’s up until the current day, then go back and do NWA or WCW year in videos. That is months of video content for you!!
The Women’s Championship was brought back in 94 with Alundra Blayze being the next Champion after Rockin Robin, after Alundra was let go and went to wcw in 95 the title was dormant until Jacquline became champion in 98, not to necessarily call you out in skipping over the timeline of Madusa , Bull Nakano, Bertha Faye and Luna Vachon but I think that group of Women really get overlooked almost forgotten, I know it was very short lived women’s division but the talent they had rivaled today’s women’s wrestling , cool video though 🙌💙
Yeah no one cares
@@Spooky_515 yeah, you did enough to reply 🤡
Lets not forget Hart vs. Hennig had one of the best counters ever to win and into a submission at that.
In my early 30s now, my childhood dream at 8 years old was to be a wrestler and loved playing Smackdown/Raw video games. Still might be since I recently joined a wrestling academy on impulse, haha. Didn't realize Vince McMahon removed the Women's Division since I started watching it more consistently around 1997, seeing Luna in the ring. Chyna and Lita were my biggest inspo, though, for sure. Especially with Chyna as the first and only female IC champion. And I loved the Rock and Undertaker, too, of course, and the D-Generation X crew and Team Xtreme later on. Thanks for this documentary! It was so fun to revisit undoubtedly my fondest childhood memories.
Do it! Go live your dream!
To put it in short the Early 90s belonged to The Warrior 90 - 92 Mid 90s to Bret 93 - 96 and Shawn 96 - 97 And Austin 98 - 2000 and then the Rock from 2000 onwards
Incorrect, Hulk was still bigger in the early 90s and Warrior bombed as champion. 93-96 was a mix of Bret, Taker and HBK. Austin was the most popular from 97 until he retired in 03. The Rock was never as popular as him as a wrestler.
I never appreciated him at the time but Mick Foley was one of the best characters ever. When he answered all three of his characters into the Royal i couldn't stop laughing. When he went thru the cage against the taker i lost it as a kid it was soooo amazing but he never got as popular as the big guys cuz he was always their punching bag
The things he put his body through for our entertainment is ridiculously insane. We gotta appreciate him & I wish the company appreciated him more by putting the belt on him for an extended period of time. They could’ve made it so he kept retaining the title by just simply being willing to put his body through more than his opponents.
This was a great look back into greatness. I learned so much with this video. Some I wish I didn’t see. The curtain was pulled back and secrets revealed. Broke my heart in some occasions. But great video
Im 37. I was 5 when undertaker came in. Boy was i terrified. Best years ever. The golde. Years are the best period. Especially when the mega powers exploded.
The 1990s were an interesting decade for WWF. Started with the twilight of Hulkamania and ended with the noon of Attitude Era. What a decade
Bret vs HBK would remind me of Goku vs Vegeta.
Dude. Rick Rude was a true threat to Warrior. Rude should have been world WWF Champ
