Being a kid growing up watching Triple h and the Rock on Monday nights. Undertaker and Kane. Stone cold and Goldberg. Dudley Boyz and Hardy boys on smackdown. These were the good old wwe days. If we can only go back and realize these days won't last forever and now they are some of the greatest memories we had.
Even in Algeria we enjoyed wwe massively! And watched it religiously whilst trying to imitate their moves... These days are not gonna repeat themselves because as H said today’s kids are different (1. Because they’re a bit softer. 2. Because of the tremendous amount of content available a click away...)
So glad I was able to come up when internet wasn’t mainstream
Wolf pack nwo days
WWF at the time but yeah
Dvon! Go get the table!
5 years before was definitely better
The Attitude Era, (1997-2001) and The Ruthless Agression Era, (2002-2009) are and always will be the best Eras of WWE.🤟
Ruthless aggression era was good until early 2006.
Yes the ruthless aggression era. Where ratings declined forever
09 😂 more like 07
Really 08 start of HD era
The ruthless aggression era was over after Lesnar Left in 2004
They could never replace him, no matter how hard they tried
That 2007-2008-2009 Era with Undertaker, Kane, Cena, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hard, Big Show, Great Khali, Umaga, Randy Orton, Edge was so legendary. This Era made me love WWE and I'm from Brazil, I'm happy I saw the best Era.
I was a kid during those years 07-09 even 2010 the best era for me as a kid
I'm also from that 2007 - 2010 era
@@neomachesa9672same here! My wrestling love went from 2007-2010, I watched every now and then in 2011-2012 but haven’t watched it again since, but will always have a lot of love and great memories of those years
Dude 2007-2009 wasn’t the best era !!!
Attitude Era was the best & early ruthless ag.
@@Karmazyn_karma For me was the best with all the fighters that I mentioned together, definily was the best.
HHH is a great storyteller and interview. I wish he'd do more of these.
I agree but man's said it himself. Homie busy busy. But it is nice to see the new head of creative tell his side of things
Kenny omega better
@@veersushantkumar Who's Kenny?
You know, he ain't on TV playing a character here... lol. why do wrestling fans always refer to the people as their characters lol.
88-92 and late 97 to 2002
Attitude Era was WWE / WWF in its absolute perfect state. The rivalries, the music, the shows, the commentating …. Incredible times!
Yeah 1997 till 2001 glory days
The music is the single worst part of WWE now. It's all so stale and forgettable. The theme songs change all the time, a lot of them because they cheaped out over contract disputes. Jim Johnston was easily a top 10 most important figure of the Attitude Era, so it's crazy that WWE really doesn't respect music right now
Ruthless Aggression was better
@@peenhead9938 For you. I bet if you asked the majority of people who watched through both eras, 90% would say Attitude. It's well documented. But if Aggression was yours, then fair enough. Each to their own.
@@Jake-vh6jp that's true. Most ppl would say attitude
Triple h is right its about the story telling. I remember watching the attitude era growing up and being invested in the undertaker vs kane storyline and tuning in every Monday to see what Paul bearer was talking about when he said undertaker had a brother and he was still alive man thay shocked me when I heard that and was hooked
Man, I literally came to write this exact comment, almost verbatim. Austin Vs McMahon, Bret, and Shawn (very early attitude/ transition) and HHH being just about the best heal in any program he worked. The stories were fantastic and had such a cultural impact on any child/teen that grew up in that era of wrestling.
I mean that was the best storyline in the history of wrestling
Stone cold vs vince mcmahon storyline was the one for me
something that people dont say aswell is the special moves people have are not as cool they need to recycle and pass stuff on. Imagine john cena without the AA or his entrance he would be half as popular as he is.
@xazarl3381 Cena wasnt all that. Just was the most pushed
I'd say attitude era had the craziest engaging story lines but ruthless aggression had a great mix of OG wrestlers on the back 9 and young upcoming guys with great charisma.
Specially Stone cold vs Vince
I always say ruthless aggression was my favorite cause the wrestling was great
Ruthless aggression has nothing on attitude era . Not even close
@@nathanrose3523 Yes it certainly does. Vince was at his best during the 00's. You had hbk returning in 02' along with all the other debuts of wrestlers such as batista, randy orton, john cena and brock lesnar. You also had most of the talent from ecw and wcw go over to smackdown or raw as well
@@nathanrose3523ratiod
98-03 was its peak as a real young kid. It was way more popular among other people too. We’d always have small parties with the ppv’s back in the day. 2004-2007 had a great roster too, then my interest fell off.
More like 96 to 2001..
Pretty much I think 09 was like really my last year actually trying watch all the shows and ppv
Totally agree.
i'd say 97 to 2003 was the best!
They took over in ratings in 1998, but 1997 was actually the best year of Raw ever IMHO, I feel bad for the people that hadn't switched over from Nitro yet because of the hot NWO angle from '96 that was already worn out.
If this is Triple H’s mentality on the industry moving forward, I think the WWE is in very capable hands. It’s the story telling. Growing up him and Taker were my favorite wrestlers.
I think Triple H was right about the stories bring you in. But the part missing today is there are no good characters, no one today that is captivating today like my era of Hogan, Piper, Macho Man, Bret Hart, HBK, Rock, Stone Cold, or Triple H. I feel like the wrestlers of today may be more talented than ever but lack the charisma. WWE has failed to create a superstar post John Cena that people truly care about.
I haven’t listened to this episode and maybe he mentioned it but I would love to hear his take on how social media impacts the business today. Much like with artists and actors there is a level of mysticism that’s been removed because of social media and how accessible people are.
They are lazy now and aren't willing to put the work in to get people over like they did in those days. They could have guys just as popular as Hogan, Rock, Stone cold. But that requires week to week ass busting work. They would rather pander to their global investors, keep the product stale and neutral.
The problem is everyone is generic. They criticize the gimmicks from especially the early 90s but you remembered those wrestlers. Only certain wrestlers can just use their name or a regular name. Most need a gimmick to make people care for them. Mark Calaway wouldn’t have gotten over without The Undertaker gimmick. Everyone know is just a bland wrestler with a computer generated name. Very few guys have a unique name or gimmick on the current roster that would excite the imagination. It’s just first name/last name wrestler brah.
Let's see if things change now that Vince isn't involved. I respect what he did for pro-wrestling, but he stayed in charge for far too long and was totally out of touch with the audience. Let's see if Triple H can find a way to bring things back now that he's the head of creative.
Cuz they buried everyone under Roman Reigns and bring back big names that wrestle 3 times a year that are way past their primes like Brock and Goldberg instead of build up more talent which they actually have
Being born in the 90's WWE from 2000 - 2010 is the best era. I watched my DVD from Wrestlemania 21 countless times. Undertaker, Rey Misterio, Batista, and so on .. They were all there.
100% behind you on that, Ruthless Aggression was my era
The Attitude Era will always be the golden era of wrestling. It’s sad to see what it has become nowadays.
It's the HHH era now.....give it time I have high high hopes
@@MVPlaymaker hehe nice
@@justarandomsim1412 completely accidental but il take it
Bro time has change, generation has change so does the product
Hulkamania is the best era.
Triple H makes an excellent point. The WWF during the Attitude era was basically a soap opera...excellent story telling with excellent characters.
The Golden Era is definitely the best. Hogan, Macho Man, Andre, Perfect, Jake The Snake, Rick Rude, Demolition, Hart Foundation, Warrior and so on. Can’t be touched
This... I was a kid during the golden era, so in theory I was the perfect age for the attitude era, but I was mostly turned off by how extreme it was
I loved all the wrestlers, like roster was obviously super deep, but it just seemed like there was no balance and it was just a never ending stream of shock tv
It's like growing up on Disney animated movies and then all of a sudden Disney is making only rated R super sexualized and violent content
Storytelling is the number one driving tool that combat sports need to adopt to make their events successful. The match itself is almost irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It's the buildup and the emotional rollercoaster throughout that captivates people into paying attention.
Being unique & charismatic both physically & vocally(mic skills) go a long way. Ufc doesn't need manufactured fake storylines.
@@explicitmoviesvideohighlig4831 tell that to the biggest UFC draw ever, McGregor. He literally got so big, because of how he sold his fights. Every single one.
Thankk you
That's why folks like Ali and McGregor were so big. They sold themselves in a promo style that was very similar to the WWE. They brought in folks who otherwise never would have been interested.
@@psgraya2 Not to mention certain boxers like Ali who did the same.
96-01.. WCW, WWF, ECW. Great time to be a fan
Completely agree I remember watching both wwe and wcw back in the day when nwo formed was the best thing ever
You fucking bet brother
Damn imagine missing out on 2002-2006 WWE🤦♂️
I can't imagine how tired HHH is of hearing we need to bring back the attitude era. It was a moment in time. HHH is right. There were no streaming services, youtube, twitch, etc. There is so much content, and so many sources for it now. I was a wcw guy, but enjoyed that those two companies and shows were doing everything they could to beat each other.
The old stuff would do well even now. It was different mentality back then
@@WhySoBroken aew is doing hardcore matches, blood, middle fingers, s'marky references for the s'marks. It's a niche. There are 900k or so 12-50 year old adolescents stuck in childhood who want to watch that stuff. No one else really does so the market for it is small
@@WhySoBroken No, it wouldn't. It was too much of a spectacle and still is. Like the circus, it was something that folks hyped up largely because entertainment wasn't easy to access at the time.
@@MPHswayze I mean all viewers of wrestling went down so
I would rather have ruthless aggression 2.0 than another attitude era but thats not a knock on the AE im just more biased for the RAE.
Definitely the Attitude Era for me. I didn't grow up watching during that time but going back to watch these eras singled out the Attitude Era as being the absolute best, especially when WCW was doing so well just before hand. 1996-2001 were the best years in professional wrestling.
Me neither I'm an early 2000's kid but I loved the Attitude Era cause guys were allowed to be themselves and the Storylines were great but I also loved The Ruthless Aggression Era it had better Wrestling and Booking and I loved watching Smackdown
That's what having good competition does for companies. It forces everybody from all companies to step up their game to try and outdo one another. I know most people don't consider AEW as competition for WWE, but I'm willing to bet that it's directly related to AEW being TV-14 that led to WWE going back to the TV-14 rating as well.
I’m glad you’ve gone back and watched them. I was fortunate enough to tune in live to Raw is War and Smackdown back then and it was wrestling to perfection. The story lines were hard hitting and the talent was through the roof!
@@JayChambers83 What was it like witnessing the greatest Wrestlemania of all time X seven I did watch it on the network but what was it like witnessing the end of the Attitude Era?
I mostly agree, but there’s one other era that beats the attitude era, and that’s nxt from 2014-2020
Still remember when Triple H came back from injury! Goosebumps!!!
I will admit I was completely unsold and shaking my head when Logan first showed up in WWE. Ive never done a bigger 180 except for maybe with Sasha Banks as far as respect and being a fan is concerned. I'm 100% behind him and pulling for him
He's so good, so fast.
Sasha Banks only got in because her uncle is Snoop Dogg by blood no cap she was trash when she staRTED BECAUSE SHE WAS GIVEN THE SPOT
He frog splashed in miz’s ass cheeks
Hope yall are ready for triple H to bring Sasha back lol
Sasha makes people pay 90 for a pic and won't even stand next to the person
Same here. Only I wasn't just "unsold". I was ready to hate the guy. He convinced me in his first match w/ The Miz. He was a GREAT fucking heel, and he looked legit in the ring. But man, that 2nd match. And that insane frog splash. That was a thing of beauty. Now, I can't wait to see more Logan Paul!
Attitude roster was just unbelievable. From Mankind to the Dudley brothers to Undertaker and stone cold. Just untouchable
I watched 01-09 and I absolutely loved the ruthless aggression era , I can only imagine how great the attitude era was. Super bummed I missed out on the Monday night wars as I was a newborn , but man it must have been cool having wrestling so mainstream like the big sports leagues
Peacock is only 4.99/month with ads, and has all WWE owned content. I started at WM 14, watching all the Raws and PPV’s. Just finished Summerslam ‘99
I can tell you it was an incredible era. You'll never get those days back. I was early-mid teens at the time. Never to be forgotten!
Ah man it was awesome. You know when you see a pretty girl? Then you see a girl who is way better? It was like that. Attitude era was just another level. You would wait for the episodes every week, and have the channel on, just waiting 15 minutes before it would even air. You never wanted to miss anything. It was the PEAK of wrestling
I was a teenager during the attitude era. It was wild flipping back and forth between nitro and raw. Greatest era of wrestling.
In my opinion Ruthless Era was the more cohesive in terms of quality, but what made Attitude era so great were the provocative storylines.
I could sit around a camp fire with HHH for hours and listen to his stories
I agree the story is important but the action and the over the topness makes it perfect. Steven pulling up with the beer truck and giving his boss the fuck you was why so many people loved Austin and Vince together. Everyone wants to tell their boss off and Austin did it in a crazy over the too action
i remember as a kid, when they all tried to lift Yokozuna, and my favorite wrestler was Tatanka, he almost did it. But then came Lex Luger and throw Yokozuna on the ground. That for me was the moment which i will always remember. 1992-1995 was the best WWE era ever for me.
In particular the storytelling of matches was so much better back then. It’s like nowadays it’s all about just doing some athletic looking move cuz it looks cool but doesn’t mean anything or get the crowd into it or someone hits a finisher two minutes in and covers the guy immediately and uk he’s kicking out that’s def a big issue is the diminishing of finishers
Yes. Watch the Rock vs Ric Flair and it's leagues better than matches today because of the in ring storytelling.
I grew up in the ruthless aggression era when Brock and Goldberg were the main guys of the company and Cena was a badass thug rapper. But I have to admit. attitude era is the most exciting thing I've ever seen on TV. Better than my favourite movies better than any thing on TV. The characters are so cool and very iconic. The storylines are so funny, cartoonish, bizarre, shocking and badass. Attitude era was the best TV show I've ever seen.
Overrated Era
@@alphonsemaina8293 🤡
@@bingbing977 It's true though.
@@alphonsemaina8293 it was the most exciting era, the crowds were electric and that same electricity carried over into the storylines and backstage segments. Around 2002ish crowds started dying because a lot of the exhilarating stories and characters people were invested in started to end. Even the backstage segments switched from a “follow the action to the back” kinda presentation to a more “skit” style with bad acting.
Attitude Era is the absolute pinnacle of wrestling and television in general.
Attitude era was jerry springer wrestling
@@chriszaun8984 Attitude Era was the avant-garde manifestation of magical zeitgeist of the turn of the Millennium when wrestling truly became the performance art.
It was so much better when I was younger. I remember 2002-2007ish the most but objectively speaking the best era was probably 98-05'. After that it started going down hill. I think it started getting a little too PG and aimed mainly towards younger kids. I think around that time they started losing the teenage and adult audience

I do agree with Triple H it is all about a great storyteller and I’ve watched WWF during the attitude era and ruthless aggression I tell ya as a kid when I watched it and seeing Stone Cold Steve Austin do some off the wall shit he did it made it so believable and like Undertaker and Kane they were so scary I couldn’t sleep because that’s how much dedication they put into their character and even Triple H always being that badass you hated but at the same time loved because he set the bar for being a villain! And the list goes on and on! Those eras will always be monumental throughout WWE history for me
What a great interview man
I'm 22 now, I've been watching Logan since I was 14 and WWE since I was 6, to see both kinda world's collide with eachother is amazing to see, it used to be Internet Vs media but now it's internet & media to bring us the best of the best
It's cool because they've always mashed up with pop culture. Cyndi Lauper at Wrestlemania mixed wrestling/mtv. Lawrence Taylor match at WM was NFL/WWF. Mike Tyson with DX and Austin was boxing/wrestling. Tough Enough mixed wrestling with reality TV. Divas searches mixed Playboy/WWE. Tribute to the Troops military & wrestling. WWF the Music albums, WWE movie studio
It's the story and the connection to the character. Kids saw superman when hogan was out there. Teenagers and working class guys saw their dad's or friends with Austin.
For me as of December 2023: 1. The Attitude Era 2. The PG Era 3. Current post-COVID era 4. The Golden Age Era & Ric Flair in the 1980s (NWA/WCW). The current era has the potential of climbing up the list.
Id say 02-05 was best all-around talent they had, 06-09 that rosters took a big hit.
They had a bunch of new guys and a diva division no one gave a 2 hoots about. You had Taker, Edge, H, Cena, Orton, Jericho, Batista, and Shawn getting used for everything because that's all the star power they had left.
Yeah and the guys that were getting out of there shell either got fired or quit, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Booker, Rey
@@mosyed4352 In 08 the best they had to offer outside the big names was Umaga, JBL and Jeff Hardy. JBL always sucked lol
@@Reynar7 To be fair Jeff Hardy became a big, big name but screwed it up at his peak. Everyone else your right about though. Can’t forget Kane
2010 was the worst year for WWE talent wise.
@@darksoul6482 didn't they bring back Test in 2010 or something? 🤣😭
HHH u were part of the greatest part of WWE History and u were one of the greatest heels WWE has ever had. WAYY BIGGER than Hogans Era.
I like how triple h is a true professional with a focus on the fan experience. Easy to see why he’s running things today. Inglorious bastards: I never forgot the bar scene where they are having a meeting and it’s that nazis birthday.
Or in True Romance the scene with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper just talking.
There's like 5 people running this in. WWE Vince doesn't think it can be run By 1 person anymore he doesn't believe they have the talent to leave it to just one person
Ending of attitude era is when wwe became more lit ruthless aggression era was the one especially 2002-2006
My childhood is the mid 90s the Monday night wars the attitude era that will always hold a place in my heart for life
When it came to the main event storylines in the 90s, the violence had a purpose. Taker threw Mankind off the cell because they had done EVERYTHING else to each other. These two men had been to war and that hell in a cell was the ultimate culimination. Same thing with Foley and HHH, Rock and Foley,, Rock and HHH. Rock and HHH often had those slugfest matches that went all the around but that was due to where the story took it.
This was a good conversation. Triple H is dead on about the power of storytelling. High hopes for his version of WWE, but nothing will ever top the Attitude Era.
The Ministry of Darkness, Corporate Ministry, Vince McMahon and Steve Austin stories were 5 star quality, that was great.... like i loved the stories with Ultimate Warrior, Hogan and Macho Man in the 80s and early 90s.
What HHH said is absolutely true !! I just watched a martial arts documentary about the fighting/action N the best rated movies n scenes were where there was hundreds of punches thrown n like 5 landed hits vs the worst rated movies where it's just over the top action every hit lands they beating tf out of each other ...less is more fr fr
I’m disappointed to hear HHH downplay the impact of the crazy elements of old wrestling … The story was told from those crazy things happening. WWE is boring these days because nothing crazy or interesting happens.
Saying nothing crazy or interesting happens is flat-out hyperbole. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s not eccentric or original. Have you ever seen someone in the attitude era tip the ring over with a tractor? Nope.
@@t1.ivorylance185 we pretty much have seen it all. Clearly you forget the milk trucks and beer trucks. The 80s was the pinnacle. The 90s were those same fans in their college years. Then it went downhill.
Triple H is hopefully going to bring back these great stories to tell in the ring now that he’s in charge of Creative.
Where are they lmao
Pleasantly surprised with the interview questions and Hunter's responses too
The 90s start from the end of the golden era into the cartoon era then the attitude era to watch how much it changes in just 10yrs is unbelievable
For me the rutheless aggression era is the best (I am biased) growing up and seeing Triple H,Shawn Michaels,The Undertaker,Eddie at their peak as well as Jericho Edge Cena Batista the Hardy Boyz Orton Mysterio. That era had it all.
Star Quality ✅
Mature/Bizarre storylines ✅
The Next Generation of wrestlers being slowly built up and made credible mixing with expireienced wrestlers ✅
Freedom to make their own promos and give input on the matches ✅
I know it probably wasn't really as good as the attitude era but it was my childhood and was the perfect balance of in ring clasics and laid back creative culminating in controversial and emotional storylines. PERFECT
98-02 was peak WWE. Was still brilliant from 02-08’ish though with Shawn Michaels return & Brock coming through
The Attitude era is so special, I dont think any other era will surpass it. Its like Wrestling equivalent of the Golden Age of Cinema imo. Having WWE and WCW dominate the mainstream was something we had never seen with pro wrestling.
The dx , stone cold , rock , etc .. era was amazing , one thing I think is important in wrestling is the punches make sure they land don’t do air punches
Jeff Jarrett, Undertaker, Stone Cold, Bubba Ray Dudley, damn nobody today throws bombs like they did
@@MPHswayze Scott Hall and The Rock had amazing working punches as well!
The Hogan era for me. I was a kid and was absolutely fascinated by the magic of the WWF. After Hogan became a bad guy, it was over for me.
I was born in 00’ so I was there for the end of the attitude era before the ruthless aggression era. I think the best was the war days for WWF. I love the 98-04 era 05-08 wasn’t bad but the best promos, matches and divas moments was from 98-04
Great convo!
my most memorable wwe story was the john cena vs edge feud.. everything about that feud was perfect
This interview shows you why Triple H is a great booker. He understands the importance of a great story and telling it properly. WWE is in great hands!! Time to Play the Game!!
What by making excuses as to why nobody watches wrestling anymore.
Where is this great booking?
Triple h I agree. Story is more important but I feel back then we had better story telling from low to mid card
Triple-H was a curtain call he was the most humble guy ever in the WWE and all of that a great storyteller, and he is so hope he does more of these podcasts.//
Triple H is a lot of things, but humble is not one of them..
yea the luke and laura from general hospital was at a all time high i remember my mom watching it and i did some too great story line. back then didnt even have a vhs player yet as they were too expensive still lol.
What he's saying makes sense. It was definitely boosted by the storytelling. The rivalries, like Stone Cold vs Vince McMahon for example, had us shouting and laughing every week. We still remember Stone Cold hitting Vince over the head with a bedpan decades later. 😂
The current WWE is a steaming pile, compared to what it was 20 years ago, and HHH knows it
He just can't say that. They have plenty of work to do.
Finding and developing that level of talent is going to be close to impossible.
That was a Golden Era of Wrestling, fed by WCW, and ECW, and their demise.
I don't even think it has to do with talent there was just a relatability to the superstars in the 90s to the early 2000s everyone had a favorite that they felt connected to there is none of that now its almost like every superstar is there to develop someone else instead of being an individual.
When cm punk left wwe fell
@@mindofvirtuoso3358 He was definitely a part of the steam in that pile.
@@InvestBetter. everyone loves cm punk😂 2012 was peak wwe
Facts
I feel for HHH. I grew up in the Attitude era and the world was just loving it. Nowadays everybody just looks for reasons to hate everything. Less social media really helped the business back then. Thank goodness a lot of these fans weren't around to ruin the Monday Night Wars. Peacock doesn't even do justice to the times back then because it doesn't really capture hos different the world was. It was just badass lol. The commercial, the favs, the atmosphere and the tension was just different lol. It's gonna be hard to recreate something that special.
social media isnt the problem. the problem is wwe failed to adapt in a way that keeps the product captivating to watch
@@zenelo3469 I would still say social has been problematic. It's hard to keep surprises. Unless you bought dirt sheets or magazines you didn't really know what was going on. I never knew HHH's real name even as a 15 year old. That wouldn't fly today. I didn't know when a wrestler failed a drug test and was suspended. I only knew the storyline reasoning. Wouldn't fly today. Social media has damaged kefabe.
Stone Cold, the Rock, Triple H, ‘Taker all at their peak, not to mention Mr McMahon. The attitude era changed everything.
Including Montreal Screwjob. Wonder how things would've been if Bret Hart was still there
The WWF 1984-1992 was the greatest era! Being a kid then and having heroes like Hogan,Macho Man and Warrior, we were lucky.
Triple was incredible 🙌🏽 my favourite wrestler of all time super evil funny 😄 charismatic and married the bosses daughter 🤘🏽🔥 a true legend.
97-99 was the golden days. Nothing will ever come close
This just changed my view on Logan in a huge way… he was so respectful and inquisitive in this convo and he was very humble at the end with the “wtf do I know” even as a fan and now a professional that’s wrestled on the biggest of big staged in this era … wow that kid is a better person than I thought … verdict still out “Gotcha hat” Jake tho 😂
how can triple h say it's as good today as ever lmao. my god
Lol he has to.
The in-ring action certainly is
Yeah he kinda has no choice. It’s a business hes running now-can’t confess to the general public
Arguably talent wise maybe. Wwe has such a great roster and potential stars. It’s the creative team that is no where near.
You expect him to talk shit about his company and talent?
Man I'm so happy I grew up in the attitude era....its was absolutely unreal!!
I missed the Micheal Jackson era but WWF was one of the things you just had to be there . So glad to have witnessed it
Michael Jackson era 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jaws is my favorite movie of all-time and the fact that HHH used that for reference in a lot of this clip makes me very happy. 🦈
I think both is just as important. Story ofcourse, but crazy stunts just bring the awesomeness to it
Another big struggle for wwe is simply ufc or mma fights on t.v. back in the day as a kid we only had this on t.v. and couldn't wait to see the next. That and most of the original legends leaving the gen just doesn't come close
I'll agree about that. If you have a UFC PPV and a WWE PPV on the same weekend where the UFC has a huge main event and you don't know how its going to end because its real life its hard to get invested in the 3rd match in a row of 2 wrestlers going at it on PPV.
@@joemckim1183 facts. I don't even mean to knock wrestling but watching 2 guys legit fight vs scripting it's just hard not to pick ufc over it ya know. Nothing will beat them WCW nitro or old Era but nowadays it's just not the same.
@@saygostr8sick Just think about when UFC was first becoming successful after TUF. You had guys like Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Quinton Jackson, Georges St. Pierre, Forrest Griffin, Matt Hughes all still competing. Watching John Cena vs. Randy Orton in their 10th PPV match just didn't do it anymore.
@@joemckim1183 yes the new or even repeat story lines run dry. I loved the hardy boy dudley Era. The Kane n undertaker. NWO. mysterio in his prime. He'll I remember cenad debut match lol. Maybe alot is growing up and not being fascinating as it was as a kid but alot of it is the wrestlers just aren't the same. It's sad. Just glad I was there for the best of it.
No I think the pg fucked the wrestling
The only issue I see with WWE right now is that they save the unpredictable nature for the PPV’s.
Other than someone’s return/debut, there aren’t many surprises on TV. Just a quick heel/face/attack to start a feud. Then it’s just talking about the PPV.
I don’t care at all what happens on Raw or Smackdown. I just wait for the PPV.
Quality of PPV matches never really dipped. But the company grew because the tv audience grew
With Triple H in charge, I absolutely would love to see him create an era that's a mixed between the Ruthless Aggression Era, The New Generation Era & the NXT Era. Build the company around younger talent like Johnny Gargano & Riddle. Gargano & Riddle could be this generation's Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels rivalry.
Wasnt old enough to enjoy the attitude era, got some blimps of ruthless aggression, but fair to say randy orton and especially the wyatt family made it really interesting for me as a teen
Definitely the attitude era. Thanks for making my childhood
My favorite is the attitude era because that’s what I grew up on but I’m sure people that grew up in different times would say the same.
My personal favorite is the late 80's Rock N Wrestling era..
Attitude/Monday Night Wars is a tight second.
once Hogan came on the scene that's when I started watching WWF as it was known back then.My Dad was the biggest wrestling fan so any matches I watched initially were because of him,and we'd dabble in WCW as well,especially in the late 80's early 90's. So much talent in both camps back then.After the attitude era my interest waned,also Dad had passed by then so I couldn't really watch it without thinking of him all the time and bumming myself out.
I'd have to say Attitude with Ruthless being a very close second. Obviously the PG era made them alot of money but it was the start of their creative drought.
Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era
I caught the tail end of the attitude era and was a kid and teen during ruthless aggression. Took it for granted watching Raw and Smackdown every week.
Not a fan of wwe, but triple h knows his sht. The best ppl do exactly what he said, and the storyline is hugely important to that.
We need a New Attitude Era 2.0! But sadly people are to damn sensitive now a days. That Era will live forever in my childhood!... and that's the bottom line...
no offence but how old are u, cause i watched the entire attitude era and thankfully the parasitic internet fans were not there to ruin the experience, problem is people look at te attitude era with rose colored glasses as ther was a fair bit of average stuff too, but also no dumbasses fans that just call everything shit while not even watching the product, i miss tory any stacy
.....cause Bone Cold so said!
@@robertapolloni83 the internet and social media wasn't what it was compared to now is what you're thinking. The entertainment value in the attitude era was top notch though. Listening to the Rock call Kelly a hermaphrodite was hilarious among many other tropes. The wwe got watered down eventually.
There was 2 attitude era’s the stuff people remember like stone cold, hhh, the rock, undertaker, Kane all that top tier stuff. That’s what everyone talks about that’s what everyone remembers. Then there was all the stuff no one talks about or remembers. Like Marlena being knocked off the ring and “having a miscarriage” or mark Henry getting may young pregnant and she gives birth to a hand. The reality is 80% of the attitude era was shock value garbage that did nothing and added nothing. Then 20% was just awesome pro wrestling with amazing athletes. If you think that other 80% was any good then go watch aew. They produce that stuff now and no one cares.
@@GoodfellasX21 u are right it has changed but it was more the net back then was used differently. The communication between fans was different too. nowhere near as vitriolic as now, also not long before this u didnt talk about wrestling unless u knew u were talking another fan, the amount of shit i copped for being a fan was ridiculose,
Everybody always talks about attitude era but honestly the ruthless aggression era was waaaay better
Agree
No
So I guess everybody is wrong and you're right?
I'll have to agree as well I think ruthless aggression era had the balance between alot of characters with tech and titles and overall action and story telling.
Attitude era just gets more look at because in the end mostly due to its overall edgy nature and people get drawn into that and they did have some big names but honestly the roster wasn't the best the names they did carried the brand. But yoy got a lot or big fishes in a small pond so 🤔
90% of the best ruthless aggression guys were attitude era wrestlers anyway lol
Damn Hunter made sense - the matches, promos, cut scenes, etc we remember the most aren’t the bloody ones. It’s the regular ones that had story leading up to them that we still remember. One example is why many don’t like John Wick or won’t watch it after one time. Too much.
even though i wasn't even born yet during the attitude era, looking back at those moments, it's definitely my favorite era. Things were just wild back then.
‘87-‘07. Best years as a whole. We got Hogan, Andre, Warrior, Macho Man, Bret, HBK, Austin, Rock, Brock, Cena, Orton, Batista, and so many others all in those years. Nothing tops that.
Not a huge wwe fan, I respect and love what they do just never got into it myself, personally. But Triple H said is absolutely true. I’ll watch some of the wwe sometimes but what makes you stay is the story. We forgive a lot of things if the story is great. Story makes everything. We all love the visuals and everything but there there’s a great story it really captures you to the point you can ignore the flaws and claim it as a goat.
Ruthless Aggression Era was the best for technical wrestling.
It seemed to be wrestling first and story’s second.

Best era is attitude era 💯🔥🔥🔥
The rock , Stone Cold , Triple H , Undertaker , Kane , Mick , Chyna, Jacqueline, Hardy boys , Edge & Christen , The crowd the Pryor , the stages the ppv theme music everything was better
Undertaker, Batista, Angle, Lesnar, Goldberg, HHH, HBK, Kane, Guerrero, Benoit, Booker T, Mark Henry, Big Show, Jericho, Steiner, Mysterio, Test, Randy Orton, big fist SD stage, metallic Raw stage. Sounds better.
The Talent of the Wresters might be Good Today, but the Stories back in the Day were FAR MORE GREATER then they are Today!!!
FACTS!!!!!
The roster around 2000, 2001, was the deepest roster talent wise, ever
To me, the attitude era, ruthless aggression era and universe era’s were the golden trilogy of WWE
Obviously attitude era 1997-2002 the greatest time period in wwe history. 2002 was historic that year had Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, and Brock Lesnar all at the same time
whatever era the rock and stone cold were in that’s the best era
The Attitude Era. Yes that Era was the absolute best
@@NelsonSequeira23 yes nothing compares to that era i still go back and watch segments
Agreed
The Attitude Era was wrestling at the apex of it's powers👍🏿
I say when need hardy rvd the boogie man etc the wwe was so r rated now it’s family friendly
