Be brilliant if you could expand on the history of the WWWF/WWF/WWE from the mid 90’s New Generation to the Attitude era to the Ruthless aggression era all the way to the end of Vince Mc Mahon’s era and the merger of the WWE with Endevour to end the whole story. That would bring it all up to date. You’ve done an amazing job so far so why not finish what you’ve started?
I thought this was done after part 3....really enjoyed this series. Keep it going into New Gen and Attitude Era please : Edit:( I wrote this comment before it aired. I saw the new gen logo at the end lol. This series continues.)👏👏👏
They probably will as long as people keep watching, they'll slap something else together soon!! But honestly I think this will probably be the last part though.
Totally agree with you to see a video about the New Generation time when the business went into one of it’s worse recessions with crowd numbers and PPV buys went down but also WWE had fallen behind with the times and wasn’t showing a 90’s product for it’s 90’s audience. The 90’s was a great edgy time where bad guys or antiheroes were what people wanted and they finally produced the Attitude Era which was perfect for the time (90’s was the best decade ever unlike the 2010’s onwards where the world has become a shit place, if we had today’s technology in the 90’s then it would’ve been perfect).
If you watched all 4 videos of this series you were witness to the greatest wrestling documentary ever. Bravo, Cultaholic Wrestling. You hit a monster grandslam.
I was born 1979 so I got to witness the WWF become what it is Today WWE. And agree 👍🏿 💯% They set the Bar so High its so well thought out & thorough .Simply the BEST ❤
@@jasonhancock6899Same! I was born in October '79, and there was never a time in my childhood when I didn't watch wrestling. I've fallen away from it in recent years, but I'll still watch old videos from time to time.
One hell of a series!!! That closing monologue had tears in my eyes as I watched my childhood. I “grew out “ of wrestling as the Gokden age ended, but my god what I would do to go back to those amazing days of my childhood watching SNME and spending my Saturday morning s with Superstars and Chalkenge. I’ll never forget the excitement of getting my WWF magazine in the beginning of every month. Those of us old enough to have experienced this are forever blessed by its magic!!!
Those were definitely the best days of my childhood, especially around the time of wrestlemania seven I remember Hogan and slaughter match being all everybody could talk about leading up to that event even though this video makes it seem like the match was not that well received I have to say as a child growing up during that time there was no bigger match going on everyone I knew from childhood friends too all the Adults around were talking about that feud
Remember when ppvs would broadcast with scrambled video. Who else would turn in just to listen. Watching what we didn’t know as kids would be the equivalent of an acid trip.
I remember the very ends would unscramble so sometimes you got to see it. I watched undertaker cut his in casket promo and ascend the titantron at royal rumble vs Yokozuna.
This is the era I got into wrestling. Though my viewership and interest had gotten sporadic at best since the Ruthless Aggression era, this series really brought me back and reminded me why I got into it in the first place, thank you!
To me Jan 1993 is when the Golden Era ended, with the debut of Monday Night Raw, then again I think the Attitude Era started in March 1997 when Monday Night Raw became Raw Is War. (I know "Officialy" its Dec 97 when Vince makes the speech and the WWF corner logo becomes the scratch logo. @@MNATrevor
Im currently 39...started watching during build to WM 8. Learning history through various video tapes...internet to Network to present day...Absolutely best wrestling DOC Ive seen in my life!!!!! Love this narrator!!!! This went by soooo smoothly didn't feel as long as combined runtime says. Im here for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Work!!!!
Couldn’t have enjoyed this series more! Put this money towards a new series for The New Generation, or just buy yourself a pint - I don’t care which. You earned it!
The closing portion of this seemed to indicate that this would be the final episode…but, with the image at 2:00:49 where they briefly flash, and tease, the New Generation WWF slanted logo…it looks like we are thankfully (and hopefully) in luck!?🤞🙏…keep this amazing and fantastic series going!!!
1990 i was all in. I was 10. I lived WWF. Between that and focusing on trying to be the best goalie i had room for nothing else. Man what a flashback thankyou for posting these
I was in grade school when Survivor Series 91 happened. The Hogan/Undertaker match was a big deal. WWF was evidently in a slump, but amongst us kids that was not the case at all. The addition of Flair really made things interesting and for a brief moment, the Top Card was very full with real, credible guys who could be champion. The 1992 Royal Rumble was epic to watch live. The upper-Mid Card was also super deep. The Perfect-Hart IC Title reign was the defining era for title and made some of the smaller guys ready for the New Generation top-card. But then, all of a sudden, by SS 1992 things had drastically changed. The WWF had hemorrhaged top-level talent It was even obvious to 10 year-olds. Wrestlemania IX was such a bomb that a few of my friends stopped watching WWF altogether.
I could text all night and not be able to adequately explain just how phenomenal this series has been. No words could do it justice. Thank you, Cultaholic, for all you guys do for us! Couldn’t be more grateful ❤️❤️
What’s been really great about these documentaries is that I’ve been watching the shows on Peacock that you speak about in tandem with watching this docuseries. It’s bringing back a lot of good memories while revealing a lot I didn’t know at the time, since I was a kid.
This series was truly well done. Would love to see a couple more of these, one spanning through WM 13 to cover the New Generation era, and then another one through WM 18 to cover the Attitude era before the company changed from WWF to WWE and started splitting their roster between Raw and Smackdown.
@reddogg-rebel4truth445 Well, WCW fucked itself before that. Fans sticking to the sinking ship were basically like Sting going to TNA & then, finally going to WWE just to get buried by Triple H & injured by Seth Rollins.
While I started watching WWF off and on starting in late '88, it was around this time that I started watching it full time. Core memories for me started at this time, and WrestleMania VII and SummerSlam 91 are my favorites of each event.
As a lifetime wrestling fan who grew up in the golden area and is my favorite time in wrestling, this was beyond excellent. Take a bow. This was a masterpiece.
(Stands and applauds) Bravo Sam, Bravo. And Bravo to everyone at Cultaholic, this four-part series is easily one of the best documentaries about the Golden Age I've ever seen, both exxtensive and entertaining. Can't wait for the New Gen series!
Man the amount of research and video editing put into this video series blows my mind. You are doing gods work. All the wrestling legends that have past on from the golden age are smiling down upon on you.
Wow..just loved this...the final two chapters were more the years I watched wrestling but due to my search for knowledge on the history I'd seen all of what came before. This was a brilliant retelling. Truly hope you guys are able to continue the series through the new eras.
Absolutely astounded at the effort that has gone into making this docu series. I will revisit these gems for years to come. Congratulations, and thank you to everybody at Cultaholic. Masterful film making.
For everyone that enjoyed this series…..I strongly suggest you make a small donation to the cause….this is by far the best quality documentary that’s non WWE I’ve ever seen….and would love more. We should show that appreciation bc what they did wasn’t easy….and it’s not free.
This is such a great chronology of the history of the WWWF/WWF/WWE. I've been waiting for an in depth documentary like this for a very long time and now we have it. I've enjoyed it so much so far. Well done Cultaholic.
Please do more of these. I know how difficult it was, but the work, and the production value is amazing. Would love to see this put into the rest of the WWF/WWE history. Thanks guys, your best content yet!
I know it has been said so many times throughout this series but I must re-iterate on how much I have enjoyed this series. I’ve watched everyone on this channel since the WC days and I am genuinely happy and proud of each one of those guys’ growth and love for pro wrestling. From Jack literally becoming the MVP (in my opinion) of this channel to Adam P. being one of the most endearing figures on this platform, to the emotional connection we feel to Ross, to the pure energy and presence and love provided by Andrew and Tom, to the the rising star of Nathan, to the workhorse of this channel in Sam! This series has made me appreciate a time in wrestling that I grew up on and made me a bigger fan of this channel. Thank you guys for the amazing content that you guys put your all into, because we as fans see all the love you put in to this. The series was just a crowning moment to show how far this channel has grown. You guys will forever have my support!!! Thank you for making me and so many people love pro wrestling!
Bravo on this incredible series. This is one that I believe will stand the test of time. I know I'll come back again and again to watch in its entirety for years to come. Cheers!
Phenomenal series. Either from reading about it or watching it unfold live as a kid, I knew most of what you spoke about and still refused to miss a single second of it because of how well it was done. Here's to hoping you keep going!
This was the best documentary piece I have ever seen on the glory days of the WWF. I grew up in the 80’s and first got hooked after watching WM2 on BETA at my cousin’s house in 1987. For the following 5 years, I was all about wrestling. I remember it fondly and it will always be a special part of my youth.
Thanks for these. I was so into wrestling during the whole lead up to wrestlemania 5. Getting to see my wrestling childhood presented like this is just amazing. I learned a bunch of things as a kid I never knew. What a great and unexpected Christmas Present! THANK YOU!!!
This 4 part documentary of THE GOLDEN AGE was pure art for everyone who was apart of this project at CULTAHOLIC congratulations a wonderful job well done 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now on to THE NEW GENERATION HINT AT THE END?
This is a great video/series! The Srgt. Slaughter thing is a classic example of McMahon's shortcomings as a business leader. Being a stubborn my-way-or-the-highway person doesn't leave room for the expert voices around you to have a say. Being able to manage a group of people and get them to have productive disagreements is a real skill; and it's critical to be able to benefit from a larger pool of insight in almost any large organization. I've never heard a story about McMahon that's demonstrated this skill.
Great job guys. From a fan's aspect, WM8 was one of the last decent 'Manias until WM14. 'Mania 10 wasn't bad, but 9, 11, 12 and 13 each had only a couple of good matches. Merry Christmas and a happy 2024 to the Cultaholic bunch!
I first started watching the wwf back in 1988. I was about 7 years old. I'll keep it 100 I stopped watching I would say back in 2007. I catch it every once in awhile now. Most ppl love the Attitude Era which I do too but the Golden Era will always be my favorite time in wrestling. When ever I play wwe 2k games I always download the dudes from that era and play with them. It was a great time to be alive. The Undertaker back in the early 90s was scary af. lol Great series bro
This was a great series! Please consider doing one for the New Generation Era. There's so much to pull from the early years of Raw, Bret's title reigns, and a freshly heeled Shawn Michaels.
This four-part series was absolutely phenomenal. As someone who has no memory of Wrestling until 2000, this was a fascinating insight that has given me a whole new appreciation of the ‘Golden Age’ of WWF. Thank you, Cultaholic. Bravo, Sam. 👏
Awesome work! Would love for you to continue this sort of retrospective for the New Generation, the Attitude Era and eventually their successors. Cheers!
These are top level documentaries. I remember WrestleMania 7 so well. It was the first one I got on PPV. I had all my wrestling buddies and figures in the living room. God what a good time that was. Thank you for these.
Very very in depth series and great overlook, thanks for all your hard work. Tho slightly irked at some timeline issues here: Ax didn't leave until near the end of 90 and Demolition was a three man unit, and were fueding against LoD and Warrior at the end of the year before Eadie left (if anyone was wondering what Mr. Warrior did between Rude and dropping the strap to Slaughter). He was in bad health and looking to retire and I believe get a backstage position at the time, which I don't think panned out.
Poor Warrior wasn't given a proper rival for most of 1990, he had already beaten Rude the year prior and he basically didn't have anyone seriously contending for the title around Survivor Series time except for maybe some matches against Ted Dibiasi. I felt Warrior was finally gaining steam when he was feuding with Sgt Slaughter and Macho King in early 1991 but by then he was forced to dropped the title.
Boys, this was brilliantly done. 8+ hours of absolutely amazing, informative, and spellbinding content, expertly written and perfectly narrated. Massive kudos to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece. Bravo, boys!

More more more please 😁😁😁😁😁

That would bring it all up to date. You’ve done an amazing job so far so why not finish what you’ve started?
this has been an incredible series you should do a golden age of wcw docuseries
Heenan catching Perfect's towel during that Rumble entrance was insane.
Legends RIP
It was perfect
I thought this was done after part 3....really enjoyed this series. Keep it going into New Gen and Attitude Era please : Edit:( I wrote this comment before it aired. I saw the new gen logo at the end lol. This series continues.)👏👏👏
They probably will as long as people keep watching, they'll slap something else together soon!! But honestly I think this will probably be the last part though.
100% do this
Request for another 2 hour video should come with a donation 👍

Couldnt agree more!
I can't get enough of this series you can go backwards into the 70s and I'd watch this shit
yeah i would watch too.
💯. I’d watch that over and over again - same as these.
As would I.🎉
Id watch as far back as he can go. Lol
I would like to see the pre Hogan documentary like this that includes territories. What was it like before Hogan since I didn’t get to see those days
I’m child of the Golden Age. RIP Macho, Warrior, Andre, Bossman, Prefect, and so many others.

This series could potentially be the best WWF history video ever made available on RUclips. Keep up the good work,Team Cultaholic , I love it!
concur!!!
FACTS.
It is!!!!!!!
Agreed!!!
I remember seeing the Baber Shop segment when it originally aired. I was stunned, I loved the Rockers
I was shocked and hurt too
Remember when ppvs would broadcast with scrambled video. Who else would turn in just to listen. Watching what we didn’t know as kids would be the equivalent of an acid trip.
I watched other types of videos on ppv like that 😆
Me and my brother too.
I remember the very ends would unscramble so sometimes you got to see it. I watched undertaker cut his in casket promo and ascend the titantron at royal rumble vs Yokozuna.
Yeah, I still remember listening to the event that Owen fell from the rafters 🥺
You already know
This is the era I got into wrestling. Though my viewership and interest had gotten sporadic at best since the Ruthless Aggression era, this series really brought me back and reminded me why I got into it in the first place, thank you!
The New Generation needs a series like this dedicated to it. Just brilliant!
FACTS and the attitude era and the ruthless aggression era.
No. Only the new generation.@@cliffordjackson3
Still one more of Golden Era. Officially ended in 94. True ending was June 93

Born in 75 and this series was my childhood all the way through, best doc I've ever seen. Just awesome.
The last few minutes made the hairs on my arms stand up. Thanks for helping me relive my childhood.
I watch the 4 videos one after the other. This was magnificent
Paul Bearer's face in slow mo when Hogan kicked out of the tombstone piledriver is so hilarious!😂

Same here. Wrestlemania 7 was the first I watched live. What a great time to be a kid!
1990 i was all in. I was 10. I lived WWF. Between that and focusing on trying to be the best goalie i had room for nothing else. Man what a flashback thankyou for posting these

“We found out Lanny Poffo was a master sausage stuffer” 😂😂😂
He probably would’ve loved this joke

@crujones27 that's what he's saying. That if Lanny Poffo was still with us, that joke would've made him laugh!
Best wrestling documentary ever made PERIOD!!!!!!!

Is it weird that i'm looking forward to this more than the usual Christmas eve stuff? 😂
No, it is absolutely normal. Who wouldn't want to see the debut of the Undertaker again, instead of Santa. :)
Wrestling is for life, not just for Christmas 😊
These Golden Era videos have been an absolute joy to listen to. Thanks for all the dedication. I will probably have these on repeat for a year.
This whole series was really damn good. If only school and history could have been as interesting as this series was.
While I started watching WWF off and on starting in late '88, it was around this time that I started watching it full time. Core memories for me started at this time, and WrestleMania VII and SummerSlam 91 are my favorites of each event.
Easily the best recap of Pro Wrestling history.......well done lads
This is Cultaholics equivalent of a Sgt pepper or Dark side of the moon… it’s a beyond masterpiece!!!!

This was a great series! Please consider doing one for the New Generation Era. There's so much to pull from the early years of Raw, Bret's title reigns, and a freshly heeled Shawn Michaels.
I loved the old vignettes. Wish they would bring those back.
Thank you all for releasing this today! Happy Holidays to the Cultaholic Wrestling team!
FACTS dude.
Really excellent series, top notch. And the narration by Sam Driver was absolutely incredible, well done all.
90-92 is my favourite era in wrestling history
This four-part series was absolutely phenomenal. As someone who has no memory of Wrestling until 2000, this was a fascinating insight that has given me a whole new appreciation of the ‘Golden Age’ of WWF.
Thank you, Cultaholic. Bravo, Sam. 👏
Awesome work! Would love for you to continue this sort of retrospective for the New Generation, the Attitude Era and eventually their successors.
Cheers!
These are top level documentaries. I remember WrestleMania 7 so well. It was the first one I got on PPV. I had all my wrestling buddies and figures in the living room. God what a good time that was. Thank you for these.
Shout out to British people referencing superbowl, Michael Jordan, and other American pop culture references of the time. Outstanding work
Thanks for covering my favorite WWF years in such detail. Wonderful work.
Seriously thank you for doing this such a great series .
This was one of the best series ever done in all of wrestling RUclips. Bravo Lads
"While his audience seemed to be thinning in direct correlation to his hairline." lmaoooooo DAMN
And then he comes back, calls Yokuzuna a slur in promo and gets belt uhgain
@sampleoffers1978 not gonna lie, I'm a little shocked he got away with that back then. Never mind the fact that the guy is of Samoa decent.
Absolutely amazing series. The closing monologue was perfection. The tease of a future New Generation series was awesome. Thank you!
Randy and Liz reuniting is an all-time great Wrestlemania moment.
Brought tears to my eyes.
A lot of emotion throughout that whole match.
Absolutely fantastic!! All 4 parts were amazing, like Sam said at the very end 'those golden times that hooked them for life' 🙌🙌🙌👍👍
Very very in depth series and great overlook, thanks for all your hard work. Tho slightly irked at some timeline issues here: Ax didn't leave until near the end of 90 and Demolition was a three man unit, and were fueding against LoD and Warrior at the end of the year before Eadie left (if anyone was wondering what Mr. Warrior did between Rude and dropping the strap to Slaughter). He was in bad health and looking to retire and I believe get a backstage position at the time, which I don't think panned out.
Poor Warrior wasn't given a proper rival for most of 1990, he had already beaten Rude the year prior and he basically didn't have anyone seriously contending for the title around Survivor Series time except for maybe some matches against Ted Dibiasi. I felt Warrior was finally gaining steam when he was feuding with Sgt Slaughter and Macho King in early 1991 but by then he was forced to dropped the title.
Boys, this was brilliantly done. 8+ hours of absolutely amazing, informative, and spellbinding content, expertly written and perfectly narrated. Massive kudos to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece. Bravo, boys!
