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 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.

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

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.

Jake and savage?

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.

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.

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 ??

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

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.

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 😔

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.

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 🙌💙

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!

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.
