There are so many negative things posted on these forums that I figured I would 'try' and change it up a bit. This is inspired by the person who said something like "No wonder why Undertaker didn't like that time in his career cause it went to deep"- speaking of his Ministry days. To me, those were the best days of the 'entertainment' in wrestling. Hell, the original Brood (minus the Hardy's) were ing EVIL. I remember Undertaker whipping the **** out of edge with something because he kept losing. It was ED up to watch as a kid, but it was so great. But I don't want to keep this as an 'attitude' related post. I want from anywhere in the history of wrestling, and I will make an index of each video you guys post (if it becomes a 'hot topic'). Past- Present Which moments have you absolutely loved? Not for shock value, but moments, you sat back and thought "Wow, I am very glad I got to see this live" on tv or in the arena. Youtubers find your videos. Kane/Xpac storyline- A lot of people will probably disagree that this was even a good storyline to begin with. Kane was starting to get emotions for a friend which he never had before, he was starting to talk more. Then, in the midst, Xpac turned on him when Kane was supposed to join DX. These were pretty much the final days of how awesome Kane was. - Undertaker and Big Show, to this day still had the coolest theme music in the WWF.

Well, on pure shock value alone. Pillman house being invaded and the gun. This was ing surreal at the time to me. Just the realism in Pillman, Austin and Pillman's missus' performances was phenominal, i was genuinely scared. Austin and Bang 3:16. Was very unconfortable to watch, but oh so memorable. Again performances from Austin and Vince made this so believable. Vince actually pissed himself for christ's sake!! Other than that. I was genuinely surprised and shocked when Jericho became the first Undisputed Champion. Probably the last time i was shocked to that extent. I'm a sucker for a good comeback or debut as well. So Cryme Tyme comming back was a lovely little surprise, both of Jericho's countdown entrances was very enjoyable, The Rock popping up randomly is always fun as well. In particular the time The Rock came down to help Eugene, when he was being berrated by the Coach, was a nice feeling when that music hit. ECW One Night Stand was something special to me as well. I'd watched ECW since at least 99, possibly even 98 and very quickly became addicted, so just the fact they did it and the matches they'd booked was pure gold. I'm sure there's more, but i'll leave it at that atm.

Entertainment was best in the mid 80's to early 90's because that's what the WWE was specializing in instead of trying to appeal to everyone. One of these days I'm gonna go off on a rant about this.

Some people might not think that but I do. Mick Foley is just brave for taking that. Everytime I watch that I get goosebumps. That is classic attitude era.

When Kane took off his mask, burned JR, and got thrown in the pit of fire by Shane, the car accident, etc.
Basically anything inbetween the times of Kane unmasking and the end of his feud with Shane McMahon.

One of the craziest things I have seen is when Big faced Shane McMahon at Backlash '01 when shane jumped on Big show from 50 feet in the air. If you haven't seen it, here it is:

The Ministry days were ing crazy. Taker hanging bossman, putting people on the cross, slicing his wrist and making Mideon drink it. Undertaker was hardcore.

I can't imagine many members here, besides me and a few others that have been fans since the early days. When I say early days, I mean, mid 80's-Present time. The attitude was the BEST era, and I feel sorry for those who missed it and can only watch it by DVD.

Honestly when Kane started talking his character lost alot of depth to it, which is really ironic in a way. Kane starting to talk, and then switching to the overalls top part of the costume ultimately damned that part of the character to the mid-card. Less is more when you try to be scary, Kane scared the crap out of every kid (including me) when he first started off.

How come every time this thread pops up everyone rants and raves about how awesome the attitude era was and no one ever mentions any other era? Because it was a time where they could push the envelope as far as they wanted and needed to push it. It was a time where we had amazing storylines, great wrestling, great gimmicks, and every week was a quality show. I mean, just look at The Ministry. There were hangings, wrist slicing, and crucifying from this group, and they really brought a whole new level of realism and entertainment to the product. They were doing things back then that they wouldn't even have the balls to THINK about today. And the wrestling was great. You had great divisions, great wrestlers, great gimmicks, and great card structure. I mean, even the undercard most of the time was interesting. You had an elite Intercontinental Division with guys like Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, and Chris Jericho. The Tag Team division was super hot, and the main event was incredible. It was also host to some of the greatest feuds in the history of professional wrestling. To a lot of people, it was the peak of professional wrestling. A truly amazing era.

Ask people what the remember from those years, most people are simply going to reply Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Razor, and Taker, and they struggle to think of other guys. Diesal holding the title for a year, the whole congress steroid issues, alot of things made this not such a fun time.

There was NOTHING great about 90/95. Nothing was great until Hogan went into WCW. After he left, the scene died. This is obvious, but it was the CRAZIEST thing to watch as a kid. I even cried at a young age and I hated the wrestler Crazy unexpected accidentYou all should already know. One of the better early 90's fueds
