@team 6 Pro combined 1800-1975 then combined 1976-81 then each year gets a video up to 2010 or so, because after that gets too recent thus boring.

Agreed. I stumbled on this video one night before going to bed & ended it early. I’m gonna have to come back & watch the rest.
"TIMELINE: 1995 In Professional Wrestling" is going to be a doozy of a video.

I'd love to see a video on wrestling in 2002 since it was a transitional year especially for WWE. TNA and ROH were both born, the WWF had to legally change its name to WWE and Cena, Orton, Lesnar and Batista made their televised debut and of course the beginning of the Ruthless Aggression era
I can remember Stephs 9/11 testimonial, my jaw dropped when she compared federal government harassment of Vince to 9/11...Was a moment of disbelief and thinking it wasn't going to end well for Steph
Oh hellll yeah, we need more of these whenever possible!
"Timeline: 1998 in Professional Wrestling" will be another epic throwback.

Timeline sounds like a great thing going forward. This has been very interesting so far.
2001 is a true watershed year for professional wrestling. Few years are as long term important as 2001 with the end of WCW and ECW, the end of the Attitude Era and the Monday Night Wars, Austin turning heel. Even smaller stuff like Jerry Lawler quitting and Chyna's exit from the WWF.

With all due respect I'd honestly say that 2002 was the transitional year from the Attitude era to the Ruthless Aggression. 2002 was the last time Rock and Stone Cold were full time competitors.

I agree sir...I loved professional wrestling through the end of the 80s and all of the 90s...2001 was a awesome,and I loved it...I still wish WCW could have survived though,as I remember turning back and forth between RAW and Nitro...

2002 was the end of the attitude era actually.
The historian in me is extremely satisfied. Another series to prove why you guys are the best wrestling channel out there.
Holy shit 49 minutes of Cultaholic documentary style video😱
Loved this! It was really interesting and had loads of stuff I didn’t even know about! Great job, Sam! 👍
Amazing, I can't even imagine the amount of research and writing that went into a video like this, let alone how much is yet to come for the series!
A Timeline for 1994 would be interesting as it was the year where: Hulk Hogan jumped to WCW The 10th WrestleMania was held ECW formed in protest to the NWA and so much more
OMG do more! its like the wrestling catchup old fans need to know!
The historical nerd in me is absolutely in love with this
The business peaked in 2001. Dont get me wrong, we have got a LOT of great stuff in wrestling in the last 20 years but objectively speaking, wrestling was never as hot as it was from 1996-01. The boom period ended in 2001.

@@Black-Circle Ratings wise in 2000 were still around 5 or 6 in 2001 post WM when Austin turned heel business dropped and then again when 9/11 happened. Royal Rumble 01 was the best RR ever IMO
I'm sure this took a long time but damn is it a wonderful format.
Cool concept for a series! I like the way it contextualizes events across promotions.
Thank you for taking us all back down memory lane:) Wrestling in the 80s and the attitude era of was the best era's in Wrestling history! Edit- do more of these timelines:) they're great!!

My head still hurts just thinking about hearing Shane’s head thunking off the concrete floor. Then to think he goes on to be thrown through glass is insane.
That 2001 Royal Rumble was the shit 👌🏻🙏🏻💯🔥🔥🔥
This is actually a really great format.
I hope you guys do more of this. Very cool video idea
@3:40 Michael Shane/Matt Bentley aka Shawn Michaels’s nephew was in ECW during it’s final years
2001 was the year I actively started watching as a 10 year old so it was cool to see the other things happening as well as a recap of what was happening in the WWF at that time. Hope to see more of these videos for other years.
I have been asking for a series like this forever. So glad to see it’s being done. Can’t wait for more.
I would definitely watch more of these! Really informative on wrestling as a whole, seeing certain pieces fall together. Great job!
I am SO happy you guys are deciding to do this :)) Keep it up!
Man you did a great job at this video! This must have been a ton of work! Well done thanks man!
More of this please, absolutely brilliant video and I love the long format, change nothing as it's immaculate.
That was a great video. I'd love to see more of these for other great years of pro wrestling. Big props to Sam and the editors and writers for this amazing video
Outstanding job with this video. Fun Facts, Flashbacks, and just FUN to listen to and watch. Are there plans to do TIMELINE in other years. That would be Freaking Awesome
I really enjoyed this. Brings me back to when I was 10. I appreciate how long this must've taken. Great job Sam!
2000-2003 are my favorite years of professional wrestling
This is awesome . Hope there is more to come. Thanks for the great video
I loved this video! Looking forward to others in the series. Cultaholic puts out great historic content
This an amazing work of art and an amazing story. Hope to see more of these. Seriously great job. 👌🏻
I still believe 2001 and a large portion of 2002 are some of WWEs best years in terms of sheer in ring quality.

I don't know the women's division was pretty thin.
I hope this series continues, it's always nice to hear Sam get excited about things.
This is such a cool idea for a new series on cultaholic hope we can see more of these thanks to everyone involved in this
Technically the last nitro wasn't the last wcw show. There was a wcw worldwide after that where Mike tenay sais the final farewell
I still say the Invasion wasn't nearly as bad as people have made it out to be. Yes, in hindsight it could've and probably should've been so much more than it ended up being but it was still very entertaining in my opinion. Not knowing who might pop up or switch allegiances made every week can't miss stuff. The shows always genuinely felt lively, spontaneous, and like anything could happen at any moment. Did it live up to its fullest potential? No. Not at all. Was the majority of it entertaining in the moment? I'd say so.
Love this idea for a video, hopefully it draws enough to keep the series going - great refresher for die hards and a nice pit stop tour for new fans !
Really love this, hope you do more for all the years!
This was rad, guys! Keep 'em coming.
Great series guys! Well done, Sam!
I know this video prob took forever to make but y’all NEED to do this for multiple years. This was fantastic 🙌🏾🤘🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is actually a pretty awesome concept. You should continue doing for as long as you can.
You need to do this for every year!!! That was awesome!!!!
30 seconds in and this looks amazing, thanks Sam, you're a real Driver
I'll always wonder how the WCW RAW & WWF Smackdown idea would've went had they actually went through with it back in 2001. Great video docu Cultaholic, I loved the nostalgia.
Loved this! Great work guys

Great series. You included wrestling from around the world and I appreciate it. Thank you.
People forget that WCW Worldwide actually aired after Nitro aired.
Fantastic video. What a year it was for fans. Great insight, would love to see more ✌
Watching this made me realize that, I was (still am) a wrestling fan for 20 years.
I enjoyed seeing the timeline of 2001. I hope you produce videos about other years going forward
Please do 1996, such a good transition year 🙌
this was the year i started watching wrestling. thank you for reminding me when and why i started loving this.
This was nice! Let’s hope for more years!!!
True fan of you guys work. I just finished watching this video love it and I really think you guys should turn this into a series. Continue to make great videos
Really enjoyed this! Love seeing more puro content on the channel. Wish there was a dedicated show but I assume that is difficult for KZread and NJPW reasons.
Good addition, hope to see some other notable years. For people new to wrestling, weren’t watching heavily at certain points, or just weren’t born yet at the time, this is mandatory viewing
Timeline is a great series idea. *Awaits the next*
this series is awesome! hope to see more!
This was great you guys should make this a series do one year a month every month you can drag it out and make it a huge series it would be awesome this was very entertaining thanks cultaholic
Need more of these!! Great video!
Wow, well done. This was a great video.
Awesome series! We need more.
When will we get another one of these? Great series!!
The era that will never return
This would’ve great during the pandemic when I was rewatching a lot of early 2000s wrestling great work guys
Love this series concept!!! Cant wait for 04, 05!!!!
Love a cheeky timeline series, so very excited to see this for wrasslin’
Love this. Hope it’s the start of a series.
Great concept love to see more of these
WWE was incredibly brave and valiant in carrying out its programming following 9/11. This will not be forgotten by the old-school fans here in America.
Yes! Hope this continues
Cool idea hope to see more of this format👍
really cool idea, excited for more of these
39:17: Of course Regal defected, Angle wouldn't let the bloke play with his ball.
Amazing Video Idea! More of this please!
OMG wrestling use to be so great. 2001 was the end of an era but still had some great memories
Be amazing if you could cover from 1995 up to 2010
Hope we get more of these, even though I know most of this its a joy to listen to Sam
im digging this timeline deal . keep it up
This vid reminds how much i love early 2000s indy wrestling, have to watch some ROH now
This was so well done please sirs may we have some more?
This year I seem to remember more as a whole than any other year. Maybe it’s the company wide storyline after the rush of the WM build. Seeing Benoit vs. Austin on SmackDown in Edmonton (which got match of the year, correct me if I’m wrong) and then, at years end, watching Jericho become Undisputed Champ… 2001 wasn’t completely bad. RVD’s exciting debut and run definitely had my interest too.
Absolutely fantastic work Sam - Now do a year during the new gen era lol
New series?! Let's go!!!
I'm not even out of January yet, and I'm finding myself compelled to make a comment wishing for more of this series. In 5 minutes, I've heard more interesting facts that *I haven't heard before* than any 20 random cultaholic videos you could pull up. I'm not sure if this is an insult or a compliment to be honest, but keep making these and you're gonna get so many more thumbs than I could ever grow myself.
2001 was definitely one the most eventful years in WWE's history. No question. Probably in Wrestling's history in general
