If You Could Only Watch One Year of Wrestling, What Year??

Very tough choice but I'll go with 1989 strictly for both WWF and NWA.

WWF you had the Mega Powers exploding,Demo/Busters feud for belts,Rude as IC Champ,Gorilla/Bobby gold as usual on PTW plus you add in Piper later in the year etc.

NWA had the classic Flair/Steamboat trilogy, Muta debuting,Flair/Funk feud, GAB and Havoc that year were GREAT etc.

1992.

WWF had the best Rumble of all time that year, Flair's two reigns as champ, Bret's ascension to the main event, Bulldog as I.C. champ, Savage's last run at the top (in WWF), Warrior's comeback, Mr Perfect's face turn and Bret and HBK's first WWF title match.

WCW had the Sting/Luger feud, the Steamboat/Rude feud, Sting vs Cactus at Beach Blast, Vader as champ, Simmons as champ and the King of Cable tournament.

Just a solid year in my opinion.

Tough choice. I may have to go with 1997, WCW was on fire and WWF was starting to turn the corner. The Sting storyline and build to Starrcade 97 was great and the Bret/Austin feud was must see. You also had the Macho/DDP feud, the NWO storyline was still going strong, and the development of some of the key wrestlers going forward; Austin, Rock, Mankind, HHH, Guerrero, etc. Not to mention that ECW was doing well and creating stars or their own; Taz, Sabu, RVD, the Dudley's, etc. After that year, I might go with either 1991 or 1992. I really started getting into wrestling really hard at this time, this was also the first time I even heard of WCW. WWF at this time was still going well but I think WCW was starting to become something great, they had a lot of raw, young talent; Sting, Vader, Austin, Rhodes, Steiners, Luger, Simmons, Hall, Nash, Pillman, Mick, etc., not to mention they had some great veteran talent as well; Rude, Anderson, Eaton, Steamboat, Zbyzsko, etc. Great times.

I might say 1985. WWF exploded in popularity and started the transition from the Backlund-era where there was still the pretense of it being a legitimate sport with some characters sprinkled in to a spectacle with everyone being a character. Savage, Hart Foundation and Bulldogs were getting started in the WWF (Stampede guys might've been there a little earlier but I think those teams started up in 85) and were really exciting to watch. And the first Wrestlemania of course, in retrospect not their greatest show but the hype around it was just incredible.
I'd probably take any year from 84-90.

Ooh, 1985 is a good pick. I'm with you that I could take any year from 84-90, I'd probably even throw '83 and '91 in there too.

This is impossible. The better question might be, "If you could only watch one WWE calendar year (Raw after a WrestleMania, to the following WrestleMania) of Wrestling, what "year"??

I'm going with the Raw after WrestleMania X7 to WrestleMania X8.

Going with the actual calendar year, I'd say 2002, to go from the end of the Invasion, into the WWF / WCW Amalgam Universe, becoming the E, the introduction of the Draft and Brand Extension, to the beginning of what will eventually become my favorite set of Championship Title Belts ever used on WWE TV. And let's not forget that Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels were WWE World Champions for the last time in their respective careers.

WCW 1996.

I wasn't really a fan of ECW during the original run. I just didn't have access to it for most of the original run, but I did see everything on the Network. To be honest, my favorite year for ECW was between One Night Stand 2005 to One Night Stand 2006. That's probably horrible to say considering we're only talking about 2 shows, but the reunion got me so hyped (for someone who did not actually watch ECW), and the relaunch made my imagination for its potential go as wild as it did for WCW in 2001 (if you just pretend ECW was NXT, you might like it more), that I was just really excited for the Land Of Extreme.

Going with the actual calendar year, I'd say 2006...by default.

I seriously did enjoy TNA on Spike, especially during the introduction of the Main Event Mafia. For TNA, my pick is from the Impact after Bound For Glory IV, to Bound For Glory 2009.

Going with the actual calendar year, I'd say 2009.
