OT: Favorite era of wrestling

[Thread]

I first watched WCCW in the late 70s to early 80s....loved the von Erichs, Bruiser Brody, and Ice Man King Parsons.....hated Ric Flair, the Fabulous Freebirds, Kamala, the Missing Link, Skandar Akbar, and Percy Pringle.

Then I started watching WWF....loved Heenan, Gorilla, and Vince hosting and commentating. I was a big fan of Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, KoKo B Ware, and JYD.

Later in the 80s, I found WCW, NWA, and AWA. I loved WCW, but wasn't really a big fan of the other two.....Though, I know WCW and NWA shared several wrestlers. Sting was my favorite WCW wrestler. I also loved the Road Warriors, Steiner Brothers, Ricky Steamboat.....hated the 4 Horsemen and Midnight Express.

I missed the first part of the at ude era for WWE, cause I was so into WCW. Once I started watching it, I loved it.....Stone Cold and the Rock had me crackin up with their mic skills.....so did Vince, Stephanie, Y2J, DX Edge and Christian......

For WCW the NWO was great until everybody and their mother joined.....and then split into the Wolfpack.......

Then came the end of WCW (I didn't like the filthy animals angle cause it took the masks off two luchadors)

Next I watched TNA.....I really liked AJ Styles and the original X Division. Now it is pathetic.

I was a huge fan of the original John Cena character, the Dr. of Thuganomics.......I still like him, but I miss the way he would put down his opponents.....

The one promotion I never really got a chance to see, was ECW.....it sucks, cause I missed out on The Innovator of Violence in his prime, Sandman, The homicidal suicidal genocidal Sabu, the whole bleeping show RVD, The Dudleys, etc....

From a wrestling standpoint.....90s WCW was my favorite.

From a promo standpoint......at ude WWE was my favorite.

Yep, they'd sit around that table and they'd play it straight for 90 minutes, Bigs. Gorilla would call him "Brain" with a straight face. Damn, I miss that.

Liar. You were changing bedpans in Ft. Bragg.

No. I was shinin' a seat at Bragg. I was gettin' a ride out of town in Jerkwater. "Hope this ride helped you out. Have a good day."

Favorite era is 95-99' ECW.. The at ude era and then years later WCW's bull hardcore division and the hiring of Vince Russo was all because of ECW setting trends.

Were they selling your ?

Yes. Just like in 2004 when they were selling your -550 .

Now answer the question: you voting for DDT?

Look at this pussy. Chose to clean pans at Ft. Bragg instead of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his "comrades" in Hanoi. Then, can't even answer a simple question when his question has been answered.

A pussy.

A racist.

A Post-Pau.

All three in the same.

The N.W.O/Sting feud was the best IMO.

Kevin Nash had a great retrospective about the guys from the 70s "taking heat". He said they used to brag about how people would throw trash into the ring because they were so hated. Then the NWO happened and Nash said he was fearful theyd be able to get out alive:

I started watching wcw as early as The Giant began to make his debut. I was a kid and could not turn away from the way they sensationalized his presence in the ring. Him feuding with Hulk Hogan around the time of the hogwild ppv was, now that I look back in time and rewatch, some of the funniest realest ever even if its scripted. I still remember watching the moment Razor made his debut in wcw. I was watching that program at the time hoping for a lit-ass showdown between the giant and the shark. Little did we know that razor would make his debut, and start a ing evolution that took the company to its peak and valley.

Once the NWO formed and became more frequent, I grew tired of it. I started to watch WWF and grew to love the promos. Everything was so PC-free, and natural. That was the to watch if you wanted to be entertained every dull monday evening from 97-01.

[Big Dog]

at all those biker hicks ringside at hogwild. Goddamn ing WCW tried its hardest to pander to its southern inbred hicks who loved rasslin

[Chris]

1985-1995 was my favorite era for nostalgic reasons. When the At ude era arrived all the heels would get cheered and the faces would get boo'd. The business would never be the same.

WCW was better than anything WWE. Even 2000 WCW

[Robz4000]

Stone Cold era was the tbh. Once he stopped being a full-time fixture I stopped watching.

I'm an admitted wrestling nerd.

Grew up with 80's era WWF, and like every other kid born in the late-70's/early 80's, I was of course a big Hogan and then Warrior fan. But time has not been kind to that era. Most of WWF's roster from that period was awful technically (outside of Steamboat, the British Bulldogs, the Harts, Ted DiBiase, and later on Mr. Perfect and Shawn Michaels) and just "ok" on the stick aside from Hogan, Piper and Jake the Snake. 80's NWA/WCW was the superior product and holds up better today. Much better technical wrestlers and talkers (Flair, prime Steamboat, prime Greg Valentine, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Dusty, the Midnight Express w/ Jim Cornette, the Rock and Roll Express, Terry Funk, the Great Muta, etc). NWA's "low budget" production also works in its favor compared to WWF's spectacle, since the former style made it feel like a sporting event rather than a live action comic book, which WWF was going for. You also had Jim Ross calling the action in WCW then.

So yea, 80's NWA/WCW is probably my favorite. Really just a perfect wrestling product. Great atmosphere, great roster, great feuds, no political correctness bull (Jim Cornette once told a black wrestler he was going to read Roots backwards to him so it can have a happy ending) and Jim Ross calling it all. Also, Kayfabe was still going on, so a lot people still "believed" or at the very least pretended to. Nothing funnier then watching old ladies get legitimately pissed when Flair would cheat and win.

You are a sad old man. It's bad enough how much you hate yourself for fantasizing about touching little boys and sucking Tim Duncan's , you are now taking to living through old Stallone movies to give some sort of meaning to your otherwise pathetic existence.

Sounds like you need the old yeller treatment. Or a prison sentence worthy of your sickness where you're beaten to death

Well, smell you. Old Billy the Kid thinks you like him.
