The McMahon/Helmsley era was the shit!

When Steph was about to marry Test and HHH came out to show the video of he and Steph getting married in a drive thru in Vegas...HILARIOUS!

Then the ultimate swerve...when Daddy's little girl turned out to be down with the Game and helped in the beatdown of her daddy...AWESOME!

That was the best thing about WCW's rise...it gave Vince legitimate competition and forced him to put on good TV.

Maybe if he had legit competiton now...

That's one era when I'm watching old clips on Youtube or on WWE Classics On Demand, I skip over. Vince, Shane, Linda, and Stephanie took up so much airtime that it was a breath of fresh air when they all decided to go back to behind the scenes

2000-2003 had things I REALLY hated. One of them being the demise of both WCW and ECW

If he had competition now, he would have to take notice and evolve

GTFOH that was one of the last good years in the WWE sit down somewhere. The Rock was on fire during that time and the return of stone cold , it was good television during that time. It's one of the last times when I could really get into it and couldn't miss a PPV. I can't even count how times I seen the WWE live during that ERA.

It's so recent in my mind that I skip it. I think the best times was 1996-99 imo

Aren’t we talking about wrestling now though, no doubt those were the golden years but in RECENT years the early 00’s were good. I take the early 00’s over anything Randy Orton or John Cena doing now. You might as well have stop watching when 2000 hit if you skip the early 00’s.

Whenever I do watch it on demand (very rare) I would watch the early years of the Attitude era though. But to say the early 00’s was bad is crazy imo.

Which version of Degeneration X do you prefer? The original Shawn, HHH and Chyna or HHH, New Age Outlaws and X-Pac. I was a little fond of the later version during the whole Triple H and Stephanie takeover nothing beats the original though.

The original DX with Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna, AND Rick Rude.

The Rock was THE main babyface during the McMahon/Helmsley faction storyline. THAT in itself was worth the price of a ticket to see Thurday Nignt Smackdown live.

they're TOO RECENT. When I watch stuff on Youtube or on WWE Classics, I'm watching for stuff from 1988-1998. The 2000s are too new for me. I'm just now getting interested again in watching late 1998 Raw episodes

My main problem with the early 2000s is mainly with the oversaturation of McMahons. Did we really need to see Vince, Linda, Stephanie, and Shane all on one show?

I do too but you’re saying the Era was bad during that time when it wasn’t. We are just going to have to agree to disagree the early 00’s were good not sorry to say. I felt it pretty much went down after that. There were a couple moments after that but no.

I didn't say it was bad, but it had moments that I hated (the McMahons, the WWE incarnation of the nWo....) but stuff like the Undisputed Championship, Kurt Angle becoming aggressive, Shawn Michaels returning, the TLC matches....that I loved

The last live event I went to was in 2006 and don't plan on going back with the crappy roster they have now. Save your money.

yeah. TNA decided not to renew his contract back in 2008 when they signed with Flair. They probably didn't want any problems due to Steiner and Flair hating each other's guts

I saw that last night but how long will it take before he turns heel again.

bboy87 said:

the new "they" is(are?) likely the main event mafia, or so the rumor mill goes...Steiner back and in a suit, no less...Nash & Stings sudden departure shrotly after the Hogan/Bischoff era began...Nash has been very vocal as of late about being "retired"-kayfabe at it's finest, rumors of Booker T's return...it all adds up....I really like TNA and I'm not giving up on it anytime soon but this seems like a shitty angle...

Nah, Nash actually was shooting. His contract was up and he was done. Even HBK congratulated him on his retirement.

I was kinda hoping for Sting not to renew his contract with TNA because WWE was hoping to induct him into the Hall Of Fame

Well Crapdown is supposed to come to my neck of the woods, soon. I saw the video advertised at the Bobcats Arena. I noticed that Kane is still wrestling.

-- Entertainment Weekly is reporting that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has been tapped to host the revival of Tough Enough on the USA Network.

The show premieres April 4, following Monday Night Raw.

-- The Jan. 27 episode of WWE Superstars on WGN America scored a 0.64 cable rating with 755,000 viewers. Viewership was up from last week's episode, which was a 0.49 cable rating with 565,000 viewers.

The midnight replay scored a 0.17 cable rating with 120,000 viewers.

I'm in the area too but unless WWE step up it's game i'm not willing to invest a dime in

it. Kane probably isn't as old as we think but he sure as hell looks likt it.
