      @Vegeta68041 4 года назад +7

      Yeah I feel like people disrespect the ruthless aggression era as a whole because Benoit was such a big part of it. Had all the attitude of the attitude era with a lot of the jobbers removed from Attitude Era though there were still some. Cena, Lesnar and even Triple H all made their names legendary during this era. Though H is from attitude era if he had left in 2001 he would not be where he is today he had most his best moments in this era.
      I think people need to let what Benoit did go. We are supposedly in the age that mental illness is more accepted and understood yet people still seem to think Benoit was not insane and chose what he did. He did not. The WWE themselves are more to blame IMO than Benoit for what happened.
      Stop the madness.

I think it was the first time he'd ever been aligned with The Dudleys as a heel himself and I remember enjoying the hell of heel Spike.
    And hell, his reign was ended by Funaki which was a great moment. Sucks that Funaki's reign was so uneventful, but oh well.

    The story you're thinking of at 38:10 involving Goldberg and The Rock got crossed with another story from an episode of Raw where he was feuding with Jericho.
    The one with The Rock involved Goldberg running to the parking garage and hopping into one of his prized muscle cars. After backing it out, he blew the engine and the car stalled. So he eventually ran out and continued on foot.
    The other story involved Jericho dumping a bucket of paint on another one of Goldberg's favorite muscle cars. He was supposed to run out, hop in and chase down Jericho in the car. They rehearsed it all day and after Goldberg ran out to the car, he asks a bystander which way Jericho went. He then immediately gets in his car and drives off in the opposite direction.

    @jimmywest1526 3 года назад +1

    Just to be a wrestling nerd, I think it would be more accurate to split WWE into about 4.5 year segments, with 4 WrestleManias in each era. Ruthless Aggression, to me, doesn’t start until Cena gets his first WWE Championship and Batista beats Triple H. Even though they coined Cena as the new generation when he said “Ruthless Aggression” he was still in his prototype gear and damn near got released shortly afterward until Stephanie heard him rap on a plane. In my opinion, 2000-2004, or WrestleManias 17-20, is really the McMahon-Helmsley/Evolution/Reign of Terror Era, however you want to look at it. Triple H was in or around all the major titles when he wasn’t hurt and when he was hurt, Stephanie was still a major authority figure. The Attitude Era is basically 1996-2000, with WrestleManias 13-16 representing that mentality, culminating in 16, or WrestleMania 2000, being known as “RussoMania”

Torrie was literally always in the title picture, and put on a decent performance. I always thought of her as just as good as Lita and Trish. She also had great bikini matches and bra and panty matches though those are guilty pleasure, putting down women blah blah still was extremely entertaining.

Benoit was genuinely a top 3-5 guy between 2002 and 2006, more so and for longer than Eddie was.
