The best PPV of 95 is clearly Survivor Series. A good amount of classic SS matches and one hell of a main event.

This is a good way of showing that no matter how bad something is, there's always some good aspects within it

Except AEW & Today WWE. Nothing Praisable. The Indy Era Indefinitely Done Taken Over.

I was 8 in 1994, when i first started watching. I was so in love with wrestling that i loved it then, and i still love the New Generation. I watch on Peacock til this day. Now 2008 to 2013 is what i think sucks.

Survivor Series 1995 was probably a very underrated PPV at best.

1995 was the year that I got into wrestling in a big way so I look back on it with nostalgia. Shawn Michaels was definitely a reason that I was hooked. I was 9 years old. I attended my first show in Dublin, Ireland in June of that year which was a decent show for the time. Bret Hart Vs Hakushi, Shawn Michaels Vs IRS and Kama Vs The Undertaker were good matches on the card.

Another thing I want to point out is- when seeing your entire lifetime's knowledge of history shrunken down, or "zoomed out" on, you really do get a feel for how skewed your perception of time is. For example: I might think "yea, Razor Ramon was in WWF for many years, then he went to WCW for a bunch of years. But shit, his Razor Ramon run was just a mere 4 years. We remember so many feuds and PPVs and stuff, that it feels like they have been there 10 years in our younger minds. If you're like me, who was born in that sweet spot where we eked right in last second to the vary tail end of the 80s wrestling, to you, you got to see 3, maybe 4 years of Hogans 10 year run as HH for WWF (83-93). When I was 10, Waylon Mercy felt like a larger than life villain. Then according to this, he only appeared 11 times smh. What the hell is even time?

My family had one of those cable boxes that let us watch PPV's for free starting with Survivor Series 94. 95 was a great year to not have to pay for PPV in WWE and WCW lol

I remember when i bought summerslam 1995 when i was 12 years old . I got the money from a birthday gift . After watching the show , i found it so bad i stopped watching wrestling for 2 years 😂😂

I feel sorry for the US fans having to pay for the 2 Golden era’s of Wrestlings PPVs as over here in the UK we got every WWF/WWE PPV for free up until around 2007 I’m not sure maybe someone could correct me on that but I believe it was a deal stuck between Vince McMahon and Rupert Murdoch who owns ‘Sky’ satellite tv which is what we Brits had instead of cable and I think the deal was you can have all our PPV’s for free but you can’t even give UK fans the option to pay for WCW PPV’s. So on one hand we watched every WWF/WWE PPV for free but we could only watch WCW Nitro and would have to wait like a year to buy a WCW produced VHS tape which was frustrating during the “Monday Night Wars” watching Nitro and wanting to see the big events but could only see still images on the following Nitro of the event but we can’t complain we got to see the very best WWE big events for free during its best periods. Then with WCW gone i guess Vince wanted us to start paying but the quality of the product was lame compared to what we had been used to for years so I only ever purchased a few Wrestlemanias. I would of been happy to pay for events we got for free (provided we were allowed the option to purchase WCW PPVs) over the past few decades but from the time they started charging until today, it’s just not worth it. Unless you have the WWE Network

And in the UK we watched Raw & Nitro on a Friday. So over here it was the “Friday Night Wars” but those of us with the internet knew the results in advance. Which is what made WWE’s PPV live events even more special as because no matter where you were in the world you got to see it live. Even if we had to wait until 2am in the morning to watch them

its crazy how much wrestling can change in just 2-3 years

I started watching wwf in 1995,the year we got cable..😅😅.. which 95 was not a good year.. love ur channel..💙

I caught summer slam this year and that started my interest in wrestling. Survivor series 1995 is still one of my favourite ever shows and I think the wildcard match should come back. With all survivors facing off at the next ppv to be number one contender at Royal Rumble

These are some hit moments, that Bret/Davey match was brutal. I still love the way bret could make a match seem like a total fight. He's often cited as not being able to fit into the attitude era. But I think with the right adjustments he'd have been amazing

Imagine Bret/Austin WWF Title matches in 98 had Bret stayed. Those coulda been epic and added another chapter to what was an awesome feud rivaling Savage/Page for feud of the year I'd say in 97. Oh what coulda been.

I watched every week in 95 and all I can say is thank god for HBK, Bret and Taker for being the draws and the diamonds in the rough such as Owen, Goldust,Razor,Adam Bomb,Waylon etc

I am 37 years old, but am still very much stuck in the 90's. I finally watched the entire New Generation Era back in 2013 - 2015, and while I didn't start watching wrestling until January 1, 1996 with Nitro... Holy crap do I love the New Gen Era. I feel like a little kid from 6 (October 1993) to 8 (October 1995) again. For some reason when I go back and watch that era for a good length of time, I literally feel like I am back in 1993 - 1995, but this time as a 37 year old. It's just so immersive for me. The old commercials on the shows that I have that are complete recordings definitely help as well.

I agree bro, I’ll be 35 in February and I rewatch a lot of these matches til this day

1995 was Michaels 2nd run as a babyface, not his 1st. But it was his first as a full-time singles competitor and first while being an upper mid-carder/occasional main eventer.

I watched obsessively between 90 to 93. Being from the U.K we had no way of finding out what happened to wrestlers disappearing like the ultimate warrior

I never looked at "The New Generation" as a weird experimental period, but then again, I was a kid during that era, so to me, it was just simply "wrestling". I guess I was too young to understand that there was a changing of the guard. For me, the new generation era was great because some of the most cartoonishly colorful and cool characters happened in that era to an 11/12 year old. Crush was awesome, as cartoonishly corny as the character would be viewed today. Just a big hulking guy who wears orange and purple. Doing was at the height of that super creepy angry violent clown character he did. At that time, Diesel was one of my favorites. I remember he got the grey tank top and became a good guy and had the world title. That feud between he and Bret was the first time I got emotionally involved in a feud- like I felt shitty that Bret was royalty to me, but Diesel was just THAT dude at the time. At least in the late 90s, I was already in my teens and the PERFECT age to be front and center to witness the Attitude Era, and lets be honest, to date, that is contested to be one of the greatest eras in the recorded history of professional wrestling, financially and otherwise.

Perhaps I can't help but see Summerslam 95 through rose-tinted nostalgia shades (as I got the VHS for Christmas that year) but I've never considered it an all-time bad PPV. Along with Michaels-Ramon Ladder Match II, the opening match with 1-2-3 Kid and Hakushi was pretty decent and I remember the young HHH-Bob Holly and Bret Hart-Isaac Yankem bouts being better than might be expected. One thing you don't mention here is the Alundra Blayze vs Bull Nakano match the Raw after WM 11 which was easily one of the WWE's best women's matches of the 90s.

Exactly. It was a good show. Also, Undertaker vs Kama was a much better-than-expected match.

Great video upload again 👍

Before watching the video, I’m thinking some of the high points are: 1) Shawn Michaels vs. JJ at IYH 2, Shawn wins the intercontinental title for the 2nd time 2) Survivor series wild card match 3). Survivor series Diesel vs. Bret Hart no holds barred, Bret wins WWF title for 3rd time 4) Diesel vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania XI 5). And my favorite moment from 1995 - Shawn Michaels turns face on RAW in May, high-fiving & hugging Diesel with Bam Bam Bigelow being the 3rd wheel

I'll take 95 wrestling drudgery when it was better rationed to the hot trash pumped out 24/7 today

I wouldn't say you have bad taste at all. I'm a sucker for watching 1995 and 1996 pre-Attitude Era matches too, and believe me there were a ton of gems from that period. The storylines were utter dog shit for the most part though, so that's why that era gets crapped on so badly from critics when compared to other eras.

Same, first wrestling event I ever saw was the ‘95 rumble. 1995 WWF is the ultimate guilty pleasure for me lol

This was the year I first started watching WWF

1995 is better than all the modern years of wrestling combined.

There was also Barry Horowitz's run which was also quite fun to watch unfold.

Up to August 1995 it was unwatchable. In September they revamped the shows and I really enjoyed it.

Still makes no sense why The Allied Powers (Bulldog and Luger) didn't get a major push. That's a team that could have led your tag team division. Instead they barely had them wrestle. Or they should have had the Bulldog and Luger get into the Intercontinental picture. Basically the WWF let them fizzle and not do much at all

I stand by that Owen, Bret, Nash, Hall, Davey Boy, Shawn, Yokozuna, and Goldust were the only worthwhile things that lasted in wrestling. Honorable mention to Waylon Mercy though. That was an interesting character that would’ve worked if the timing was better. He and Jake Roberts would’ve worked well together.

Dan Spivey sure left a mark with his Waylon Mercy Personna. The late great Windham Rotunda asked Dan’s permission to build it into his Bray Wyatt character

1993-95 WWF was preparing for the Attitude era.

Aside from everything mentioned in the video...."With My Baby Tonight" deserves its place in WWF 1995 Glory!!!

you are the very 1st first wrestling youtube channel to say wwe as wwf at the time was good in 1995 by me kevin joseph king

Just had to watch the things Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Undertaker or Razor Ramon were involved in and you find the watchable for 1995.

I got into wrestling in this era, and I found myself engrossed with it. The new generation did have a lot of problems with terrible characters and bad storylines, but I still remember enjoying the program a lot. I use to really enjoy watching Duke "The Dumpster" Droese and I wished the did more with him. My other favourites were Hunter Hearst Helmsley, The Body Donnas with the Rad Radford antics, Bret Hart going toe-to-toe with Hakushi (who was amazing), Jean Pierre Lafitte and Waylon Mercy. I thought Bret Hart, Shawn and Razor were carrying the PPVs a lot, but I agree Survivor Series 1995 was awesome!

I stopped watching in 1995 as an 11 year old for a few reasons. 1. Fav wrestler Bret Hart's push down to mid-card. 2. Rise of Shawn Michaels who I didn't like. 3. Too many occupational gimmicks. 4. PPVs I didn't care about.

I stated off watching wwe in 1990 actually. Man im old. Great video. I always say 1995 was a transition period. WCW ate they roster up. But 1995 to me was wwe worst year, and Diesel was the worst wwe champion of the golden eagle belt era.

I think Hakushi was underrated, If you were to make a list of the top 10 pay-per-view matches of 1995 for the WWF Hakushi vs Bret at In your house 1 and Hakushi vs 1-2-3 Kid from Summerslam make the list.

T.L. Hopper's promos were gold

I'm just saying, if Vince wasn't ready to put the belt on Shawn until the following year, should have kept it on Bret for the majority of 1995.

1995 Royal Rumble match had wrestlers entering every 60 seconds inside of every two minutes. Felt cheated when i ordered it on pay per view.

Basically "This show was crap except for this one match, where Bret/Shawn carried their opponent to the match of their career".

Favorite Moment of 1995: Summerslam Ladder Match Least Favorite Moment of 1995: Everything else lol

I am 48 seconds into this video I'm going to take a wild guess that the majority of the gems will be Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels matches, let's see if I'm right.

As bad is 95 WWF was, I'd rather watch it than WWE today... 95 was the year I started following wrestling and my first favorite wrestler was Kwang.🥷 But other great wrestlers like Hakushi, Lafitte, Owen Hart & Yokozuna gave this era some real highlights. Razor, Bret, 1-2-3 Kid, Waylon Mercy were great stuff too. Phantasio was silly but there was a lot of gold there too. And who could hate Tekno Team 2000? And the greatness of Horowitz Wins, the hilarity of Todd Pettengil.... I could go on and on.

1995 is also the year Steve Austin and HHH debut and Issac Yankem (Future Kane)

The 1995 Survivor Series in the greatest ever edition of the Survivor Series. 1996 is a very close second.

Diesel was the first tweener in wrestling.

Bret "Hitman" Hart made 1995 a very good year for WWF. I would say 1995 was better than 1996 because Bret Hart was around the entire year. Survivor Series 1995 is my favorite pay-per-view ever because of the main event.

'95 was not as bad as it is painted. There were some bright spots and the mid and upper card roster was great. The storylines were just subpar.

Rest in peace Scott Hall 🙏🏽

all of the 90s in general were great when you compare them to anything after 2003 up to now....

I actually wish it was 1995 all over again.

Lol the sweaty rock logo. I remember that.

New generations might have not been great at the beginning but towards the end it was great and it kicked off the attitude era!

I liked the Goon. He won all his matches by checking his opponent into the ring apron and winning by count out. 😅

1994 - 1995 - World Wrestling Federation Unofficial Calendar Year King Of The Ring 1994 Summerslam 1994 Survivor Series 1994 Royal Rumble 1995 WrestleMania XI

To be fair, pro wrestling was pretty bad all around back in the early to mid nineties. It’s not like WCW was tearing it up either.

The only good thing of wwf 1095 is the Ecw chants 😂. Okey I joked but seriously

He had a good feud with Bret Hart

At least WWF TV ratings didnt go to a 1.3-1.5 ala today's Raw

I loved wwf in 1995. HBK, Razor, Diesel, Bret. Ha. Forgot about Goldust.

Wwf in 1995 could have been so much better if bret didnt get in a useless feud with the burger king in the midcard Owen and razor should have been crowned wwf champions atleast once that year

Goldust was the very first seed of the Attitude Era.

Owen and Yoko being paired up was bad booking...consolation prize for 2 of the best singles superstars they had... 1-2-3 Kid and Bob Holly as a team was also terrible... Vinces old philosophy of taking 2 top babyfaces and putting them in a team when he already had 10 actual teams on the roster (punk and kofi) terrible

Hitman / Davey Boy ❤

As a kid I loved it it was fun. Much more fun then anything now of days

I doubt 99% of Americans would know who Adrian Street is.

1995 wasn't great by attitude-era standards, and neither was 1994, etc...but I feel the product today is 10x worse.

I always get BamBam and the dudley boys bald fat guy mixed up.

Davey boy was off his face at Summerslam 92 your being to kind

As a 12yr old in 95, what a time to be watching both wcw and wwf. Good times.

Watch an hour of the current product and then watch anything from 1995. Problem solved

The modern product the last 20 years is way worse. Only popular based on the network and internet.

these years were actually good imo... i dont get this

Wwe most fans following THE ROCK... but there is no such video related to him

great hot jobbers in 1995

WCW wasn't really good neither in '95 lol

1995 was a golden age compared to the garbage WWE has produced the last 15 years

Short answer If HBK or Bret Hart were involved It was good

WWF in 1995 was Better thanx Watch Dominik Mysterio every single Monday on raw
