Wrestling Thread July 25-31 | 7/27 - Cena Wins WWE Title, Cena vs Punk @ SummerSlam to Unify Titles

[hombrelobo]

I went back and re watched 98-2000 Raw and SD's and honestly it was just wild. The wrestling wasn't always great but it was pure entertainment. You can't deny that. Attitude era still rules.

Is there a site where I can watch full length episodes of RAW/Smackdown? I want to rewatch an event I went to back in like '01.



EDIT: NVM..I didn't think youtube would have full shows that far back

EDIT #2: Mannnnnn I was 11 when I went to this

I was gassed when I opened my Christmas gift and find tickets to go this night. I remember marking out seeing the Dudleys, the Hardys, K-Kwik...before he was Ron "The Truth" Killings.. booing the Right To Censor

But when The Rock's music dropped?! Whaaat, $!%@ was bananas!

I even made a sign that said "SHUTUP" on it, hoping I'd get on TV when Vince did his promo.

Raw got 100x better when they dumped the shock tv and T&A trash and had better wrestling...at the end of the day good matches >> *

Whoa buddy, slow down with the BA trashing. The NAO were easily one of the most entertaining tag teams of that era. If you wanna trash the Bromance storyline with him, by all means, but not when he and Road Dogg were running *+#.

  

NAO was dope...im talking about 99 specifically his singles run and not saying he was awful but compared to any Benoit etc. match that year
i remember copping king of the ring 99 (just an example) and how weak the undercard wrestling was...

just saying when they started relying on good matches things got better...before 2000 you could make the arguement that WWF had better storylines but WCW had better wrestling..and when that stopped being true and WWF had better Matches and storylines WCW didn't last much longer

Dave Meltzer gave the Cena/Punk match 5 stars in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Meltzer hasn't given a WWF/E match 5 stars since 1997.

It's only the fifth WWF/E match to receive that rating.
