On a side note. I've never owned s table like the ones that came with the dudleyz. How the eff do they break. You can't just do a move on to it and it break I don't know if the tables are made newer but you should be able to just do a move and it breaks away, since that's how you broke the old tables.

Cool thread! My childhood was during the golden era ('85-'93), which to me is still to this day the greatest era of WWE wrestling hands down. Having said that I still respect others opinions and its great to read about how others got into watching wrestling. I did not watch much during the attitude era but like the OP the Dudleys/Hardys/E&C and there wild TLC matches were quite enjoyable. Some of the stunts these guys pulled off were crazy, I can't believe they weren't seriously injured?! Nice to see I am not the only one who did not like the abrupt change into darkness that the WWE descended into from the mid 90s to early 2000s. I just don't see how anyone can enjoy watching the stuff they put out during that time period, some of it was disturbing and other stuff just ridiculous- not entertaining in the least- at least IMHO. The 6 wrestlers that got me hooked were: Macho Man (his promos were legendary) Ricky Steamboat (great technical wrestler) Hulk Hogan (he was for me the 'guy you love to hate' as I was ticked off that it was always him winning the belt) Ultimate Warrior (crazy but every time he entered the arena a shot of adrenaline would go through me) Jake the Snake (great heel wrestler) Andre the GiantWCW got edgier with Nitro and made Raw look old and campy by comparison, so Vince jumped to the opposite extreme to show how edgy he could be, resulting into the craptastic Attitude Era. I think in retrospect it's hard to argue the attitude era isn't awful. It did not hold up over time. It's mostly shock value nonsense.

They did more in one hour than Raw does in three and left you wanting more.

They don't. They bounce off of them. Unless I barley clip it together.

These 6 are the only figures I can see myself forking over some cash for. I love tag team wrestling, these guys in particular made me love it even more. Awesome set up and that 2nd shot is great. Now I want these for my shelf! >:-(

Like somebody recommended though, keep a look out for those R3 scans! Last I heard most of that line didn't really need to mod anything to throw those heads on. They'd be perfect since I think they're from that Era too.

But if I recall it didn't fit to well. I check last night online if any where for sale. And they wanted 120$ for both r3 Hardys. Out of package.
