do the kiddies here ever actually go back in time and watch the classics?? or are they all super marks?? I would have to say 1997 for me because in the past wrestling was 'real' and around the 90's when things came to light and the curtain was pulled to reveal the Wizard... 97ish is when the Attitude kicked in and you could believe in it again as it became truly real. Anyone who thinks modern day wrestling is A) the best ever or B) original is most definitely approximately 12 years old. Instead of listening to 6one9 and believing in THE SHIELD kids should educate themselves, watch Vader in Japan whilst listening to Metallica for freaks sake!!! (I am honestly turning into an old cranky man)

Hmm, maybe 1992. SummerSlam in the U.K... the first SNES WWF game, which blew me away... the Nailz beatdown on Bossman... The Hasbro series with Bret and Bulldog... the Macho/Flair/Liz storyline... Mr Perfect turning babyface... Papa Shango cursing Warrior... Just such a fun time to be a fan as a kid. Nailed it.. loved 1992. In general, 90-92 followed by 97-99 as favorite time periods for me.

If I had to pick a year it'd be 1990 as both WWF and WCW were on fire during that year. My favorite span though would be 87-94.

(I am honestly turning into an old cranky man) I see this long overly spaced out rambling about YE OLDEN DAYS and all I see is this: I’m 24, I started watching in 1999, and the Attitude Era is the most overrated period of wrestling I’ve ever seen. The current era of wrestling is superior in every single way. Better matches by far, less TITTIEZ EQUALS RATINGS LOL, and actually respecting the female athletes who are busting their ass and making them equals to the men, rather than just treating them like a sideshow novelty act. I’ll watch the current product over an Attitude Era Raw any day of the week. Also, Enter Sandman is the only good song Metallica ever made.

1998 for me. I was fully invested in Austin and was on the edge of my seat each PPV title defense. Not to mention undertaker and Kane is one of the greatest angles of all time

The title actually mattered then, and every angle with Taker and Kane back then was insanely captivating. By far the best period for characters and storylines. An episode of RAW today is laughable compared to that period.

2002 just because of how nostalgic it is for me. - first full year of wrestling I watched - HHH’s return - Rock/Hogan - the draft - first Hell in a Cell I saw - SmackDown being the better show - Rock winning the WWE title - HBK’s return - SmackDown six - Survivor Series 2002 There have been others (2004, 2005, 2008) but 2002 always has a special spot for me. This for he same reasons. Really enjoyed Taker vs Brock and Taker vs Hogan as well. I also really enjoyed 2011-2015.

1990. Ultimate Warrior Legion of Doom, Demolition, Hogan, Texas Tornado, Ted DiBiase, Jake the snake, Harts, etc... Wrestlemania 6 was awesome.
surprised how many people are saying early and mid 2000's. Those years were unwatchable to me. I stopped watching regularly from like '03 til '12.
