Once Austin and Rock left, I stopped watching wrestling. I started checkin in round the recent Wrestlemanias just for the Streak matches but now I've been watching regularly for the past few months.

Its TONS of sh*t I've missed out on that I need to check out on the Network. What are some dope matches/feuds I can check out?

I just watched HBK vs Y2J/Batista recently. Dope feud and now I'm on Taker vs Edge feud.

What other piff have I missed? I had no clue Jeff Hardy was main eventing with HHH. When I initially stopped watching, he was tag team status... same with Edge.

I don't even have a clue what CM Punk was like when he debuted

If you're looking for moments, here's some ill shyt that Taker did during that time period:

Winning the 2007 Royal Rumble
Chokeslamming JBL through a limo
Crucifying Orlando Jordan
Returning at Survivor Series 2005 and burying the entire Smackdown roster
Returning at the 2006 Royal Rumble
Burying Paul Bearer in cement
Tombstoning Cena on RAW after teaming with him, just because he could :yeshrug:
"Buckle up, Teddy"


If you're looking for matches (I take it you've already seen the classic Taker vs HBK encounters at WM):

Any one on one match between two out of these four: Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit
Rob Van Dam vs John Cena at One Night Stand 2006
Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 28
Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 19
Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 21
Undertaker vs Kurt Angle at No Way Out 2006
Undertaker vs Edge, both the TLC & Hell In A Cell matches
Randy Orton vs Mick Foley at Backlash 2004
CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan at Over The Limit 2012
CM Punk vs John Cena at Summerslam 2011
Brock Lesnar vs John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012

The RA era was not too long ago(2007/2008)...

Also the Rock and Austin were still there(2002,2003,early 2004).
I stopped watching around the time Rock, Austin and Goldberg shook... I saw the beginning of the transition phase but I didn't make it through the RA era.

I had no clue Jeff Hardy became a main eventer and I'm also interested in seeing some dope matches since I got the Network.

I also missed the years where Cena, Edge, CM Punk, etc became stars

Last thing I remember was prolly Hogan vs HBK and Cena rapping.... I don't even know when Cena switched from rapper to boy scout

I know Daniel Bryan is big now but I wanna see his origin

And I just watched some triple threat tag match that had the Smackdown 6... sh*t was piff

Nah the one with Benoit & Jericho wasn't on PPV, it was on an episode of Smackdown. And I don't think that episode has been added to the Network yet but I'm sure you can find it on YouTube or somewhere else on the net.

The ruthless aggression era were the dark ages of the WWE.....alot of fans tuned out at that point. Smackdown was at its best during the 02-'04 run even with the attitude era included. Lesnar, Angle, Taker, JBL, Eddie, Edge and Cena before he became the corny babyface he is today.

Raw by comparison wasn't better due to HHH's shytty reign, but there were alot gems from this era. I used to have a whole video library of taped raw/smackdown of the RA era, but I either recorded over them or got rid of them. Now I wish I didn't :sadcam:
