Wrestling Thread Jan/Feb | 2/29 RAW - The Undertaker Returns to Respond to The McMahons

[Peep Game]

Is this current era still part of the PG Era? And what's the actually time span of Ruthless Aggression? I always have it from the 1st brand extension up until right after Benoit's death. Feel like a new era has been started but I would know which recent year it would have started

 

[robpzee612]

Today's era is called the Reality Era but it's more like Social Media Era to me.

People Power Era>

Reality Era should be reserved for WCW from 95-99/00 since that company was doing more shoots/breaking kayfabe than any other company has ever done in any time span..

Off top:

1) Austin/Rock - (WM17)
2) TLC Triple Threat - (WM17)
3) Benoit/Jericho v. Austin/HHH (Raw 2001)
4) Shane/Angle (KOTR 2001)
5) HBK/Taker (HIAC)
6) Angle/Benoit v. Edge/Rey (No Mercy 2002)
7) HHH/Cactus Jack (Rumble 2000)
Austin/Bret (WM13)
9) HHH vs. Austin 3 Stages of Hell (NWO 01)
10) Taker/Foley HIAC (KOTR 9

Without really thinking, minus #1 and #10, this is probably dead on my list off top I'd add that 10 man tag match from Raw 2000, I think when Kane came back with Paul Bearer wearing that red jacket.

Some other personal faves would be RVD/Jeff Hardy from Invasion, Austin vs Angle from a 2001 Raw episode, Test/Shane vs SS99, and one of X-Pac/D-Lo Brown matches. Not sure if it was a Raw or a PPV.

I don't think AE gets enough credit for just how good the matches were..I know a lot of the promo stuff is what people most remember, but the mid-card matches alone makes it better than 80's & '10's WWE..

I don't think Foley/Taker HIAC is like a fantastic showpiece of prowrestling, but I do acknowledge that it's a match that's important to the lineage of big WWF matches & that's why I threw it on there. Rock/Austin X7 is amazing though cmon

That HIAC match was awful from a wrestling perspective

 

[celticspride34]

One of my favorite AE matches... HBK vs Mankind... It's just :x in the best possible ways...

I really wanted to put HBK v. Mankind from Mind Games but I think that may have been right before AE. THAT match is bonkers.

Fantastic match... It's one of those matches that seems real because of how stiff...

I think I like that match a ton because they were in Philly & knew the ECW mutants might s*** on that match, so they went out there, took their own style and shoved it down their throats. Coked up HBK rules.

Either forgot or never relized it was in Philly... HBK was so amazing in ring before that casket match... Dude had gears no one else had..

Could the rock pull off a one punch man movie

HBK is the GOAT 

I dont give a damn what anyone else says about that jabroni Flair
