The Attitude Era Thread Vol 1

[BruiserBrody]

JR would thrill a woman with his tongue like he was trying to clean out the last drippings in his BBQ bottle.

Lawler has had so much tail, I'm not sure I see him as a giving lover.

Feels good to say this again for first time in a long time. Moderators, please ban @BruiserBrody

Can't wait to see a Chinese dissident get gored through that set at the end of the games.

Iconically crappy gear (and haircut) maybe. Idk what HBK was thinking.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Shawn has mentioned before that the woman who usually makes his gear wasn't around so he had to cobble something together. That haircut though...yeesh...

 

[Hawk 34]

Seems like he could just wore his old gear, it’s not like he changed his size.

I prefer Dine In Dick

 

[Valeyard]

I always always always am shocked at the restraint to not make him a stereotypical Asian delivery guy who slipped it in his customers.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I don't think Vince Russo is clever enough to come up with that.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I don't think he knew that Japan had pornography until he was born again, to be honest.

Wasn't this one of the highest rated segments in RAW history cause it happened during a week when Nitro was preempted due to the NBA playoffs?

[BruiserBrody]

I will always get a tingle out of the USA version of Superstars. It's a shame Vince couldn't wrap his head around what AAA could offer as the Lucha matches were often just an excuse for the announcers to talk about main event angles and what not.

BPI Sports and Billy Gunn create the pre-workout Gunn Powder

BPI Sports teams up with American Professional Wrestler Billy Gunn for the straightforward pre-workout Gunn Powder.

Even seeing this on RAW at the time I was surprised/impressed Taker just no sells the whole thing, I would love a moment by moment write out of what was going through Taker's head as he watches Vader set himself up to be arrested by Middle Eastern overlords.

Hums “Real American”.

 

[Valeyard]

I'm not sure I'd call that Attitude Era.

But that wasn't a bad decision in the moment. Hogan was hot.

 

[alkeiper]

Hogan also had the very real advantage of not being Triple H.

 

[Valeyard]

That blind hope that maybe HHH would become the worker he was pre-injury but needed a couple months to warm up really tripped up people.

I remember on Raw when Lawler announced what happened with Vader, he showed a Vader action figure with a jail set piece included. Was that really how stores were selling Vader action figures?

I don't blame Vader for getting upset but he went about it the wrong way. He should have just verbally put the guy in his place and moved on. The way Taker handled himself through the whole interview is one of the reasons why he's so highly regarded in the company.

Somebody on Twitter this week actually mentioned that Taker had told Leon before hand to let him handle any questions about things being fake, but Vader obv didn't heed the word.

IIRC Lawler shows a Vader figure with magic marker prison bars on the package.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I'm not sure I'd call that Attitude Era.

No one wants a Ruthless Aggression Era BS thread. I consider everything up until Cena’s debut as Attitude adjacent. Tbh, I’ve argued before that Survivor Series ‘03 is final nail in Attitude Era coffin.

 

[Valeyard]

I just can't put anything post-WCW in the category at this stage. Like the time between the Monday Night War ending to the WWE changeover/brand split is a weird gap between eras. I'm gonna blame the lack of Eddie Guerrero during that time.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I feel like there's a bridge era between WrestleMania X-7 and WrestleMania 21 (when Batista and Cena were cemented as the new top guys and Attitude Era was officially nostalgia). Then WrestleMania 21 until TV PG era is true blue Ruthless Aggression era.

 

[Valeyard]

So is it canon that the Ruthless Aggression era is from Cena onward? I get it totally if so. But if that's the case it had to end with Benoit, just because that created the PG Era full stop. Does the current era have a catchy name yet?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

People always Mandela Effect the TV PG Era starting with the Benoit murder-suicide but it actually started about a year or so later in Summer of 2008 when USA Network got pissed over how many super bloody matches WWE was having *and* Linda McMahon was starting to explore a US Senate run.

I feel like Punk/Bryan/Shield being top guys (2012 to 2015 or so) is its own era different from 2016 on.

It was magic marker!

Not completely sure it's related, but that Vince McMahon's Ass cartoon is now considered lost media. I actually remember seeing the Mel Gibson one.
