The only time Brand War was relevant was when both GMs of RAW and Smackdown were feuding.Survivor Series 2005 was more about Teddy Long vs Eric Bishcoff.
The crowd cheered CM Punk so loudly that Triple H had to say "yes, and CM Punk has a question for you" then he let CM Punk say the "Are You Ready" line. It was awesome
Most of us started off with the Attitude Era and grew up with the Ruthless Aggression Era.Great times and better than today's Nonsense.Batista,Cena,Orton all debuted,Edge became a Main Event Star,Lesnar was great in his brief first run and Shawn Michaels had a great second run which included reforming DX.Even the B PPVs had great matches like the HIAC Match at Vengeance 2005 and the TLC Match at Unforgiven 2006.Also great TV Matches like Lesnar vs Angle Iron Man Match and Cena vs Shawn Michaels for the whole 2nd hour of RAW.And special mention to the Edge-Lita Live Sex Celebration which is way better than the Lashley-Lana-Rusev Nonsense now!
@@joshgon502 I Agree, I always liked him. Thought he could be kinda like another Undertaker with the gimmick. When he was in ECW, that gimmick wasn't bad either. But when I play firepro.. Mordecai is my Champ
"What about the attitude era" second greatest Adam Wilbourne meme.......... We all know what the first one is......... "WHERE'S SIMON MILLER? I WANT SIMON MILLER!" Just funny af lmfao👏👏👏
Not to mention Shelton Benjamin's Intercontinental championship run that was literally decided by the wwe fans. Shelton wasn't even in the top 4 of what Vince McMahon was expecting for the vote for the ppv I think was cyber something and fans voted. Shelton talks about it on Talk Is Jericho. Chris Jericho being who he defeated.
You know it really solidfied Edge as a top heel and started a truly great feud. WWE 's revisionist history will tell us that Orton is Cena's greatest feud and rival although I personally think is the much better choice. Edge and Cena was such as a great feud.
@@williaml3546 whoever says that Randy Orton is Cena's greatest fued is greatly mistaken. At most Randy Orton was a counter part to Cena, like Batista and CM Punk. Edge is definitely the number one rivalry for Cena. I would even take the argument of JBL but not Orton Instagram: @botchedbooking
That was amazing at the time because it was so unexpected. The Mitb was new and no one even realized that it was possible to cash in at the end of a match. Instagram: @botchedbooking
The OVW class of 2002 was insane. Here in Kentucky too. It used to Come on local tv every Saturday night and it was better than the the big companies are today. All that talent here at the same time MAN!
That fued was perfect. The heel heat from Vince mocking God was beautiful. He essentially made the audience believe that in the world of the WWE he is the Devil. Instagram: @botchedbooking
Side note about Rico, awesome dude! Met him at a house show in La Crosse WI years back, took the time to talk to everyone, sign everything and take every picture. Good, good dude.
Top to bottom of the roster yes. But the attitude era obviously had more impact and is directly responsible for the ruthless aggression era. Although it was definitely more top heavy
As a kid in 2004 I remember going to watch Smackdown at the TD Garden in Boston when John Cena was US champ and Carlito debuted and won the title that same night man was that was crazy crowd was pissed and brought crazy heat to Carlito I was almost crying as a kid now I look back and think it was gold I miss the good old days
Personally my favorite era in WWE history. The Olympic Trio of Kurt, Shelton, and Charlie... Phenomenal Eddie and Beniot clashes. The anxiety of wondering which WCW star would show up next. The multiple returns of Kane on PEAK physical condition. Too many more memories to name for an era Rhett didn't quite get the respect and remembrance it honestly deserves. Oh yeh, and that John Cena guy...i guess.
You forgot Drax the Destroyer.He debuted in this Era.The Real "Monster among Men" and the best World Heavyweight Champion before he went to fight Thanos!
I remember this short period of time on Smackdown, I think it was in 06 or 07, where Finlay and William Regal had a series of some of the most brutal matches I had ever seen on Smackdown. They stiffed the ever living hell out of each other for like 10 minutes and my god was it magnificent to watch. It started as seemingly a one off, but the brutality, and the technical prowess of the match out of seemingly nowhere from guys who were twice the age of anyone else on the roster at the time blew everyone's minds and the crowd loved it, so they had a rematch a week or two later, and it was just as good. Then they did a third a few weeks after that where they actually hyped up the brutality with a short backstage beforehand....and well, it wasn't as brutal as the first two, you could clearly tell it was catching up with them. But it was still Finlay vs William Regal, so it was still good.
Finlay vs Lashley back in the day was a baller feud. Ruthless Aggression was when I got into wrestling properly. Wasn't this when we had a bit of a tag team golden age with London and Kendrick as the champs with contenders like Lance and Murdoch, MNM and Regal/Taylor as the main contender teams?
The fact that Gregory Helms held the cruiserweight title for more than a year and being the Hurricane is STILL the only thing most people remember him for tells you all you need to know about his heel run.
I remember when Joey Styles left on that Raw. What isn't mentioned is that Tazz did the same thing on Smackdown that following Friday. I wish Tazz would come back to WWE. I liked the Michael Cole and Tazz commentary team.
Funlay, he loves to have fun! Check out his WCW matches with Regal. Amazing work. Even better, watch his matches in germany back in the late 80s and early 90s, if you can find them. He was, and still is, one of the very best.
My favorite era is the Ruthless Aggression Era. But the Attitude Era is the best era in WWE history. The Monday Night Wars between WWF and WCW and the original ECW brand was the best era of professional wrestling. But overall, 1996-2007 was the best time to be a wrestling fan.
You only missed one of the greatest moments in wwe history: A leprechaun wins gold. July 22, 2007. The Great American Bash. The Cruiserweight Open where a number of contenders battle for the title. What apparently no one knew was that there was actually an extra entrant in the match. When things had gotten crazy in the match, Hornswoggle comes out from under the ring to pull off one of the greatest upsets in the history of sports entertainment. He hits his tadpole splash on Jamie Noble to win the belt.
I'm so glad that I grew up during this era. One of the last really good eras before WWE went it to this "family friendly" era, or whatever you want to call it.
It's really such a shame that WWF/E had turned off so many people by the mid 2000s and so a lot of us missed the whole Ruthless Aggression Era. Once WWE bumbled the whole Invasion angle, I was done. I came back in 2011 though during the summer of Punk, though. But that was basically it for me as a full time spectator. Thanks for the list though!
Dave "Fit" Finlay back in 2006 was legit. He even gave Benoit a run for his money and he was another who enjoyed midcard success and Gregory Helms, I believe had a career resurgence once he stopped being The Hurricane. He reminds me of PAC.
Loved Ariel and the way she used to enter the ring, dangling upside down from the ropes was just something I'd never really seen at the time and thought it was awesome.
That was 07, Undertaker and Batista had a great last man standing match, Benoit MVP was really good and Mickie Vs Melina was one of the best womens matches of that era, All killer no filler show.
what about the Tag Team Fatal Four Way Ladder Match in Armageddon? the one where Joey Mercury got his nose destroyed by Jeff Hardy(i think???) via a leg drop from a ladder.

Better matches and a deeper roster but weaker storylines, Promos and far less star power. Also far less invested crowds, Attitude era crowds bought am amazing energy to the shows.
The thing about No Mercy 2007 was it was Orton's first (and second) WWE title, and honestly his first "real" world title since his run with the big gold belt in 2004 only happened in order to spite Brock Lesnar. He needed to be built up as a credible potential champion and that night did that as well as one night's worth of storytelling could have.
William Regal was so good at that Time in his Role. I wish we could have seen him winning the Big One. Also shoutout to Finlay. He was a Beast! Saw him at a Live Show once and Boy Oh Boy, I literaly could feel his Moves by watching it. :-D
I never realized as kid how old Finley was. He is a god damn gift and I should’ve appreciated him more when watching him.
Same here dude
Loved his matches between benoit and regal during this time
Man spent his youth in the north of Ireland, not going to age to well when the Brits are kicking your door in every day,

Honestly never appreciated him fully until I rewatched his rivalry in wcw in the 90s with William Regal. Made me appreciate Regal alot more too.
