The "Attitude Era" was Strictly WWF/WWE

[Higher Tech]

I never associated "Attitude Era" with anything other than WWF tbh. It ran concurrently with the NWO era to me. I saw them as two dope things going on at the same time. Wrasslin was the shyt back then. Even ECW was going nuts. After the merger, I legit couldn't watch anymore.

No that's what YOU do. What an idiot. I realized I stopped watching wrestling right after Stone Cold retired. Didn't even realize that era had a name until I watched his story on A&E. Is there a thread about that biography series A&E has been running? shyt took me down memory lane. When I seen how Lex Luger looks now, a breh was like

Man I saw Lex on some church channel a few years ago and it blew my mind how little and frail he looked.

I didn't even realize breh used to smash Miss Elizabeth post-Macho Man. WCW was my shyt for a couple of years too. NWO was hilarious. Do u know what happened to WCW? I got a couple of boys and have been interested in getting back into wrestling after watching these biographies. Yet I wouldn't even know where to start nowadays.

Them and ECW got bought out by WWE and that started "The Merger."

The Hoegan dictator NWO shyt would have gotten stale as fukk with the quickness if Austin didnt come around to really shake things up

Once again

The Hoegan turn was big for Mark's

Austin was big for mainstream pop culture in general

Austin took it to it's TRUE prominence. Not Hoegan

I understand you hate Hogan and the feeling is mutual but you have to understand at that point pre heel turn Hogan was already stale. He was the biggest wrestling star on the planet for over a decade and the thought he could even turn was unimaginable. I remember watching they bash at the beach and my family groaning when Hogan came out then silence when he dropped the leg on Savage and aligned with Hall and Nash. That took wrestling into the stratosphere and that heel turn made WCW the number one promotion on the planet. If there was no Nwo in my opinion he would’ve never got behind Austin.. I mean he was still trying to bring the Ultimate Warrior when the Attitude era was in full swing! He was committed to the cartoony bullshyt.

 

[Dynamite James]

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

Of course. What is your point? No one said the attitude era was WCW.. The Monday Night wars: Nitro, NWO, Atiitude era

i enjoyed it as well, but its also overrated.

wwf attitude was mostly awful wrestling until the last year & a half - which felt like a different product.

a gang of the WOAT ppvs came from that. people like to act as if it was a goat era, but conveniently gloss over the abundance of shortcomings. thats pretty much why im so hard on it in these threads. i liked it tho.

it wasnt austin that took it up another notch. it was the combo of austin & the rock w/ the supporting cast. they didnt pull past the WCW until the WCW lost its way and the rock emerged as a champion.





and again youre wrong and talking stupid.

then you have the nerve to call somebody a virgin, when youre on here doing this. you been on here for 10 years and still have nothing of worth to contribute but shock posts.

You’re welcome to your opinion but I’ll agree to disagree. The attitude era got it right. Wrestling should be over the top. No one was watching for the vanilla midgets word to Kevin Nash…the unpredictability is what made it must see. I’d rather watch those ppvs over these bland ass so called wrestlers today... The Rock didn’t start bubbling til Austin was in full swing. The rock upped the ante but it was initially Austin and McMahon to a degree that turned the war around and brought the WWF back to prominence.

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

You nikkas straight love talking out the ass here.. Hogan's heel turn in 96 was one of the biggest moments of the business . Thats a fact and ratings even showed it to where WCW had it on lock from 1996 to mid 98.

The first episode of nitro kicked off the attitude era

WCW was the first "cool" wrestling product for teens tho. Wrestling by the mid 90s had gotten corny around the board. The nWo set off a 'coolness' that teens could get into..

Defend the legacy of a piece of shyt racist, wanna be dictator cac brehs

It's still a legacy that can't be erased. Why don't you watch old matches of him to see how popular he really was.

 

[supertrekker]

ECW started it. WCW was the first to make it mainstream with the NWO angle and the WWE won the ratings war with it.

NWO and Hogan's heel turn actually brought back old wrestling fans from their childhood that were in their teens and early 20s by then.

Pushing the envelope is what brought it to prominence. The WWE was doing crazy ad raunchy shyt every week. You don't think Sable had anything to do with it. Or Mick Foley with his crazy bumps and HIAC matches. Or Rock actually getting attention from Hollywood.

THE ATTITUDE ERA WAS STRICTLY A WWF THING.
