The "Attitude Era" was Strictly WWF/WWE

[Breh Obama]

WWF really coined the "Attitude Era" term and ran with it.

Austin started it.

WCW had a clusterfukk of shyt going on and should only be known as the Dictator Hoegan era

I see your point but.. attitude era would of never came to be if wasn’t for wcw forcing Vince and company to up their game and make compelling tv to increase their ratings

And your right Austin did usher it in he was the first one who started doing attitude eraish promos in 1996

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Technically, yes you’re right. However, I associate it with all 90s wrestling.

The business, including WCW would have been dead if it wasnt for Austin ushering the "Attitude era"

Yeah it’s just WWE branding the history they own, just like the term Grunge is used to describe most rock music that wasn’t hair band sounding in the early 90s

Shane Douglas throwing the NWA title in the trash was the ember that ignited the spark which was Hogans heel turn in mainstream wrestling. Vince was the last person to catch on that people wanted controversy

I disagree all the major companies were on maximum fukkery. Maybe officially but when I say attitude era I'm talking about the wcw, ecw , and wwf.

Ehhhh... I can't really put the early half in the same space as that last three-four years... to me the 90s in wrestling is like three different parts. The early part still riding the wave of the late 80s, the middle part where shyt was just all over the place, then the last three years where shyt went in the new edgy direction. It's hard to put powder blue jacket Vince and Mr. McMahon in the same box, lol

*cue USWA clips, I know*

In reality, Diesel/Kevin Nash is the tip of the spear of the Attitude Era but none of y'all lil weirdos know your history so

 

[dh86]

Already existed in ECW. Can’t say something stupid like no one watched, given an entire Raw was dedicated to promoting ECW first ppv.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Wcw were the ones that set it off

 

[Metal Face]

Ya'll can just say Monday Night Wars

this is the most revisionist post possible.

that entire boom period for wrestling was started by the WCW, and they were clearly the top promotion for at least half of that era.

and the WWF attitude chit really wasnt even all that. it was a watered-down take on ECW mixed with the already on-going era of shock TV. then they started their own dollar store version of the NWO - known as DX. but its what got alot of yall into wrestling so yall act like its goat.

People today look back and think of Stone Cold and Rock before they think of Hoegan or WCW. This is absolute facts.

Your post is biased and rooted in old head nostalgia

Stone Cold single handedly saved wrestling. fukk all that Hoegan bullshyt
