NWO vs Attitude?

NWO era s the Attitude Era up its ass and then sleeps with its wife.

The nWo early on, but around August of 97', WWF produced a better product as far as I'm concerned. Plus, it really became annoying after awhile to constantly hear about the nWo. If they werent in a match they still somehow managed to discuss them. It became a pain in the ass.

Dude!!! EASILY the early nWo. Take a look at Nitros ratings back then, around 96-98.

Did some research on the ratings from 1995 to 2001.

WCW Nitro

1995 - 2.4 average, 2.7 highest
1996 - 3.2 average, 4.3 highest (September 2).
1997 - 3.7 average, 5.0 highest (August 25).
1998 - 4.5 average, 6.0 highest (August 31).
1999 - 3.7 average, 5.7 highest (February 8).
2000 - 2.7 average, 3.6 highest
2001 - 2.3 average, 3.0 highest (March 26).

There you have it.

BTW, the May 10th, 1999 RAW is the highest rated RAW event EVER! Anyone know what happened on it?

Well, the WWF/E has hit a 5.0 rating since 2001.

I thought that happened in like September?

According to thehistoryofwwe.com and OWW, this is what the 5/10/99 Raw was:

Kane vs Billy Gunn ended in a No Contest when Kane's leg got caught in the ropes and he hung up-side-down (Roaddogg attacked Billy Gunn, and then DLo & Mark Henry attacked Kane & XPac),
Commissioner HBK books the show (Clever segment),
The Big Show vs Paul Bearer ended in a No Contest when Show was jumped by all the members of the Ministry after calling them out. Show grabbed the microphone and asked if Commissioner Michaels would waive the stipulation that barred the Ministry from ringside( if they had, Taker would have lost his title shot at Over the Edge) after Show had laid Bearer out; prior to the match, Bearer attempted to flee backstage but was stopped by Michaels, who then joined the commentary team; after the bout, the Union made the save for Show wielding 2x4s
Debra def. Sable w/Nicole Bass in an Evening Gown match to win the Women's title (Val Venis was referee, and Jeff Jarrett smashed a guitar over his head! - Sable won the match but HBK declared Debra the champion anyway). (Sable's last US TV appearance for nearly 4 years)
The Big Bossman def. Test in a Nightstick on a Pole match after hitting Test in the face with the nightstick as Test attempted a sunset flip
Cactus Jack def. Mideon & Viscera in a Hardcore Handicap match by pinning Viscera following an elbow off the apron to the floor with a chair; after the bout, Cactus threw Viscera into the steel steps
Farooq vs Bradshaw ended in a No Contest in a Lumberjack match (Members of the Union served as Lumberjacks) when Viscera and Mideon entered the ring and tried to stop the bout, with Farooq and Bradshaw shoving them out of the way until the Big Bossman came out and cooled them down; moments later, Mankind, Test, Ken Shamrock, and the Big Show - who served as lumberjacks for the bout - entered the ring with 2x4s and, after the other Ministry members fled the ring, all four men beat down Viscera with the weapons
Gerald Brisco & Pat Patterson (who came out to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" song) def. The Mean Street Posse (Pete Gas & Rodney) when Rodney submitted to Brisco's figure-4 as Gas submitted to Patterson's Boston Crab. due to pre-match stipulations, Rodney & Gas were forced to leave the WWF; had Brisco & Patterson lost, they would have had to leave
Jeff Jarrett w/Debra def. Val Venis by hitting him with Debra's title belt after she slapped Venis in the face
Ken Shamrock vs Chyna w/Triple H ended in a No Contest when Triple H and Shamrock began fighting before the bout began, with Shamrock dropping Triple H to the mat and hitting a belly to belly suplex on Chyna before storming off, upset that he was driven to the point where he would strike a woman
Steve Austin & The Rock & Vince McMahon def. Shane McMahon & The Undertaker & Triple H (Shawn Michaels was the referee) when Austin pinned Shane with the Stunner; moments earlier, Austin hit the Stunner on Shane and a dazed Vince made the cover, only for Austin to pull him off and hit a second Stunner on Shane before making the cover himself;

^ How the did that get the highest rating ever.

lol...

The attitude Era kills the "nWo era". nWo started it all, but in the end, the Attitude era was easily the more entertaining of the two. In their prime of course....

WWF.
