Older WWF Era Was Incredible

[nonoob]

The pinnacle of wrestling was from the late 90's until the non-PC people took over.
Stone Cold, The Rock, DX, Booker T, Gold Dust, The Godfather, and so many others were all a part of the insane and funny promos and skits. Vince's hospital stay with Stone Cold was great. When Booker T and Gold Dust partnered, it had humor in and out of the ring.
Enjoy !

My favorite attitude era moment was when Punk dropped the pipe bomb.

Best thing about the Attitude Era was the Dr. of Thuganomics

Remember when Schultz slapped Stossel? I feel that's when the Attitude Era really took off.

Yes, yes I do.

 

[Via Heeto]

Yea, well now we got Tozawa, Baron Corbin, the Viking Raiders, Nikki Ash and Otis. So which era is really better?

 

[Thrawn33]

I thought we were better than the Heavies when it came to taking care of new folks in the PWD...


....no matter how wrong they are and how short the bus they ride in on is!

Pay your dues kid!

 

[Clark Rogers]

Yeah, the Attitude Era is typically thought of as like 97-02. November 97 thru May 02 I think more specifically.

Cena killed it and Ruthless Aggression, then PG became a thing.

Dr of Thuganomics was distinctively not Attitude Era.

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

Not sure if it was still Attitude Era but such an amazing short-lived gimmick.

End of Attitude Era is kinda easy to remember.

One of Cena's very first promos, maybe even the first, he says he's bringing Ruthless Aggression... and that pretty much ended the AE and started the Ruthless Aggression era.

I think a week or two before Cena cut that promo, Vince may have also used the term in ring during a promo of his own. Either way, Cena's start and AE's end go hand in hand.


(I'm broadstroking. May be some details missed)

Nah, the Attitude Era DVD ended with WM17.

Nah, the Attitude Era DVD ended with WM17.

WM17 from April 2001?

 

[My Spot]

WM17 from April 2001?

Really is the perfect ending point. The Monday Night War is over, WCW is no more, the two biggest stars of that period main eventing the GOAT show, and Austin turning heel to side with Vince.
It was all downhill after that.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Nah I gotcha, I thought you meant it was later than what I had said.

that May 2002 date was when they stopped actually using that name in promotional material.

I guess you could say it ended spiritually then (wm17 when Austin went heel) , can't argue that. On paper though Ruthless Aggression came in May/June 02, with Vince and Cena, killing it officially.

The company officially ceased its "Attitude" promotion on May 6, 2002, when the usage of the initials "WWF" became prohibited as the result of a legal battle between the company and the World Wildlife Fund.

other places cite the end of the monday night wars as the end of the AE, so maybe it's better to say Cena was the arrival of the next era, not exactly the death of the former.
