This is a hard one since I can look back at so many different years and pick a fairly even amount of stuff I liked.
Since I started watching in 1994 that year will have a soft spot, but the WWF year 2000 is probably when I was the most dedicated in never missing a show or PPV.
But in hindsight 2002 was also a solid favourite.

Hard for me to pick just one . . .
1990 - 1991 : the WWF was firing on all cylinders . Just loved this time period.
1997 : the most underrated year in WWF history. They were doing absolutely brilliant and compelling shows, but were overshadowed by WCW and the nWo.

1989. Mega Powers explode. Warrior v Rude. The return of Piper. Rockers v Brain Busters. The list goes on. PLUS, Flair v Steamboat and then Flair v Funk. Yes. Yes! YES! Plus: Sting-Muta, which became a part of the Flair-Funk feud. Great Muta was awesome all year. Perfect and Genius destroying the WWF title after Poffo beat Hogan by countout. The Steiners and Doom debut as tag teams, to add to the awesome division. The Road Warriors, Skyscrapers, Varsity Club, Midnight Express, Original Midnight Express, Fantastics, SST, Freebirds. Luger-Steamboat Demolition-Brain Busters The War Games match at GAB, featured the greatest spot ever, as Dr. Death pressed Terry Gordy into the roof of the cage 8 times before slamming him to the mat. Match kicked all kinds of ass, too. And the Bash was probably NWA/WCW's greatest PPV ever. Luger-Pillman Randy Savage becoming the Macho King. |

When the Network first started, I started watching the earliest stuff they had which was MSG in the 70s, and watched everything in chronological order. I was blown away at how good both WWF and WCW/JCP were in 1989.

When the Network first started, I started watching the earliest stuff they had which was MSG in the 70s, and watched everything in chronological order. I was blown away at how good both WWF and WCW/JCP were in 1989. Back when we didn't have one company trying to do a PPV every 3 weeks and a ridiculous amount of live TV every week, they were able to take their time and give every feud the time it needed to build before the big matches, and I think '89 was the epitome of this. Flair-Steamboat took up the first 5 months of the year, built on their prior history from years before (whereas everything is forgotten after 2 months in today's WWE), and featured 3 epic matches on TV/PPV. Flair-Funk started immediately after and concluded 6 months later, drew in 2 young superstars in the middle (with a wild brawl to close the Bash and a PPV main event), had Funk attempt to kill Flair by suffocation at a Clash, and ended with an I Quit match. The Hogan-Savage story started before WMIV and didn't "end" for about 18 months with Buster Douglas KOing Savage on SNME. The Varsity Club featured Rick Steiner being mistreated by Sullivan & Co. until he finally broke free, started teaming with his brother, brought on Robin Green as a nerdy fangirl. She becomes Woman, brings in Doom to try to destroy the Steiners, and it all flowed one to the next naturally. Rude-Warrior started before WMV and ended at SummerSlam, and was Warrior's best work at the time. Not everything was great, but all the important stuff was. From the matches, to the promos, to the wild brawls. "You got jealous eyes. Right there, you're looking at me with jealous eyes!" |

If I had started watching wrestling in the 80s I would have probably said one of those years. But I've been watching in real time since early 1991. IMO, it's a toss up between 97 and 98. Those were such hot years in wrestling and I don't see it becoming popular like that again sadly. In 1997 and 1998 I would have not missed a raw for the world. Now I would miss it for a nice bag of chips and a cold soda  |
