they were all amazing in their own unique ways, and believe me i think you could make an argument for all 3.
but personally i am going with the hogan era from the 80's to the early 90's. why?
1. because i was a young, pure and innocent mark.
2. the soap opera served the wrestling, not the other way around.
3. i enjoy the presentation more. it was presented as a sport... with wrestlers. not an entertainment company... with entertainers.

thats the biggest problem today is that its not marketed as a "sport" anymore
ill never understand why either
Going back and watching 80's WWF, the majority of it was trash. Even the supposedly "good" matches were kind of shytty.
WCW 96-98 vs WWF 97-2001 is harder though... I guess Attitude Era should get the nod because it sustained for longer and overall produced more great matches and moments

I agree with this 100%
My friends sons age 8 & 11 watch wrestling and they think the late 80's was better than the late 90's.
I'd personally take NWA/WCW in the 80s over the WWF. They had a great roster without the over the top cartoonish nature of the WWF at the time.
Flair & The Horsemen in their prime, Dusty, Magnum, the Road Warriors, Luger, Rock N Roll Express, etc.
No way but i respect your opinion and did i watch all the War Games & Starcades back then with my step Dad.
The Road Warriors & Dusty vs Flair & The Horsemen in War Games was classic
But the Starrcades of the 80's can't compare to the WrestleManias of the 80's
Although i think the NWA/WCW in the 80's was better than the Attitude Era of the WWF.

I was coming in to say this. The late 80's early 90s was just ridiculous for the NWA. Four Horsemen, Lugar, Sting, Steamboat, Windham, Muta. Then you add in all the tag teams. Road Warriors, Doom, Sky Scrapers, Steiners, Varsity Club, Midnight Express, Rock and Roll Express, Miracle Violence Connection. Just damn good matches and feuds up and down the card without match endings being telegraphed. Only real problem was the horrible booking at times.
NWA/WCW during that time had so much talent. Only problem was they'd never be able to keep these talents, either due to Vince buying them, or whoever was running the company at the time would do some shyt to drive them away. But with a more solid foundation and improved production value, NWA in the late-80s would've been way better than WWF by the end of the decade. They just stayed losing their stars. To their credit, they would manage to eventually rebuild their rosters pretty quickly after losing vital parts (i.e. '89 after losing most of the Horsemen and Dusty, '92 after Flair quit)
WCW did have more overall talent back then but they were competing with Hogan & Savage in their Primes.
WCW/NWO was trash, it was ONE hot angle. It should just be called the NWO era as that's the only good thing about WCW at that time
The entire angle was a perfect storm because of the arrival of hall and Nash, the story wrote itself. bytchoff tries to act like a genius for it but anyone smart knows it was his one fluke. Look at his TNA run, immortal and aces and eights

Agreed...
Not saying it would've been bigger... but better. It was just rarely ever properly handled despite the great rosters they had, pretty much until Bischoff got it in the mid-90s.
