The greatest year in professional wrestling as a whole. With the rise of ECW and WCW competing with WWF every Monday night in the ratings war. 97 was lightyears ahead of what had come out of the WWF in the past few years. In terms of storytelling and booking. 97 led us into the “Attitude Era”. However IMO 97 was better and has aged better than a lot of the attitude era, from 98 onwards.

@@Hawks2tuff well they started moving away from The New Generation Era towards the end of 96. Going with more grittier storylines, such as “Pillmans Got A Gun” during November. The Attitude Era wasn’t in full swing until around WM14, many would say that Austin winning the championship was the official start of The Attitude Era. For me personally the time between the end of” The New Generation Era” and official start of “The Attitude Era” was the most exciting time in pro wrestling history. there was so much going on at the time, which felt fresh and exciting. The Attitude Era was amazing. at the time. However much of it was “crash TV” which hasn’t aged well. 5 star classics were very few during this time. Plus when it was officially “the attitude era” it did become very formulaic. Also WCW started to dwindle during 98. WWF started to run away with “The Monday Night War”. Although WCW had won in the ratings for over 80 weeks. While WWF, for much of this time, had the better show.

Raw's peak. But the WWF as a whole also had a peak in the mid-80s to early 90s.

The ending months of 1997 was perhaps the craziest time period for the Monday Night Wars. The nWo storyline was heating up and reaching its conclusion, and then with the Montreal Screwjob happening, WCW literally had all the cards on hand to deliver the finishing blow and put McMahon out of business. If you had said WCW would eventually lose the war back then, a lot of people will call you crazy, cause that was WCW's highest point leading to Starrcade 97. Unfortunately for WCW, their mishandling of Starrcade 97's show soon made some pundits see that perhaps WCW was not going to win after all.

@@jp3813 I am not too certain, cause the end of 1997 was a very low point for Vince McMahon, PR-wise. He just got out of that steroid scandal, and the Montreal Screwjob left him with a lot of egg on his face. Vince's willingness to screw Bret Hart, one of his most loyal employees, nearly caused a revolt in the locker room, cause who knows if they will be next to have the rug pulled out from them. Ironically, it was Bret himself who told his former co-workers not to sabotage their careers for him, but even then, the damage was done. Trust in Vince was scarce, and that was the closest the WWF had ever been towards shuttering its doors for good.

For 83 weeks, Nitro was defeating Raw in the ratings. Wrestlers were jumping ship to WCW faster than you could say “Titanic.” Bret Hart was told the company couldn’t afford him, and the company was downsizing and taking the water coolers out of the offices. But the company was not on the verge of bankruptcy as some would believe. Actually, despite getting thumped in ratings, the WWE’s House Show and international presence was not only keeping the company afloat but helping them turn it around from an economic standpoint. 2
