What's your favourite year in wrestling.
 
Pretty straight forward. 1984 WWF is easily my favourite.

- Hogan wins the belt and hasn't become obnoxious yet and has great matches
-the start of the Tito vs Valentine feud.
-Slaughter vs Sheik feud
-TNT debuts
-Andre vs Studd/Patera feud is really fun
-Cyndi Lauper and the debut of the Rock and Wrestling Connection
-The forgotten tag team of Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis who are my favourite tag team of the 80's
-Hogan vs Piper feud. Piper vs Snuka feud. All the amazing Piper's pit
-Their television which was notorious for being terrible, actually got interesting.

I could watch their t.v or a MSG/Spectrum show from their year all day. There's tons of it on youtube. I highly recommend checking it out starting with the first show of 1984.

For enjoying at the time probably 1994 because I love Bret Hart and I was 7 but probably 2000 for actually just being awesome.

Shisen Kopf 03-19-2017 01:37 PM

*favorite
The correct answer is 1997. Now close this shit.

The year when Paige had pictures of her face getting sprayed with baby batter on the internet.

Probably 1998. Last great year for WCW overall and Austin-Vince/Rock feuds getting cemented as mega tier in status in the WWF.

Hey, I didn't make the video. It's not my fault.

Outsider 03-20-2017 06:40 PM

2001.

The closure of WCW and ECW were obviously not positive, but they made the year so unpredictable. Plus Wrestle mania X-7 was incredible.

A.J.K 03-20-2017 07:42 PM

Toss between 2000 and 2003/4 for the Evolution ERA.

Savio 03-20-2017 08:04 PM

I didn't see all of 1998 so 1999

Destor 03-20-2017 11:53 PM

84

Bad News Gertner 03-21-2017 09:25 AM

84 is such a great year

Destor 03-21-2017 09:26 AM

yeah 84-89 was the best 6 year span I can think of

If you look back retrospectively, easily. I was born in 87 so I don't have enough context. Wish I had the network, but I've seen enough retrospectives and enough matches with a few SNMEs sprinkled in to see how awesome it was.

It goes to show though, you don't need flips and suplexes, you just need personalities who know how to tell a great story in the ring.

Destor 03-21-2017 09:45 AM

I meant to type 5...but yes on all accounts

Indeed....that's the era I got into it, although more towards the tail-end. I started watching in '87.

Ol Dirty Dastard 03-21-2017 10:29 AM

Destor it is actually 6 years if you're counting the beginning of 84 to the end of 89

Evil Vito 03-21-2017 10:40 AM

I remember genuinely loving 2004 when it happened.

-The 2004 Rumble match is my favorite one ever, just brilliant pacing and booking all around
-Eddie beating Lesnar
-I liked the majority of WM20
-Amazing ending to WM20
-Taker being the Deadman again
-Orton/Foley feud
-Cena's rise
-Angle's fun run as SmackDown GM
-Bradshaw somehow becoming the most entertaining heel in the company overnight

The only thing from that year I remember hating clear as day even back then was Orton's terrible face turn.

I'd be interested in seeing how that year held up when I get there in my watch through. Obviously the Benoit stuff doesn't carry the same emotional investment but I watched the 04 Rumble in January and realized I totally still love it as a match, I'm sure I'll feel the same way about the WM20 main event.

Nicky Fives 03-21-2017 10:50 AM

2000 or 2004 easily for me

There's a shit ton of it on youtube right now. Look up Richard Land or Wrestling Collector channel. They have pretty much everything. I have about 100 house shows/ t.v tapings etc saved on an external hard drive. Easily better than the content the WWE has on the Network.

slik 03-21-2017 12:43 PM

The year 2000

OverTaker 03-21-2017 12:48 PM

1999

The CyNick 03-21-2017 01:01 PM

Enjoying 2017 so far.

Ol Dirty Dastard 03-21-2017 01:03 PM

lol haven't you watched wrasslin since the early 80s/late 70s? 2017 isn't bad by any stretch but jeez that's pretty bleak even for a provocateur such as yourself.

For some reason, 1992 keeps popping into my head.

Ol Dirty Dastard 03-21-2017 03:17 PM

Big time nostalgia year for a lot of people.

Bad News Gertner 03-21-2017 10:51 PM

That's so weird. 1992 was TERRIBLE in the WWF

Ol Dirty Dastard 03-21-2017 11:11 PM

Yeah. Everyone left. Roster completely stripped down. Pretty much jobber central.

Maluco 03-21-2017 11:49 PM

98, really miss having two big companies, having alternatives and having unpredictable stuff happen on TV regularly

Bad News Gertner 03-22-2017 02:15 AM

1985 was pretty amazing as well until around August. The Piper vs Orndorff feud alone makes the year awesome.
Check this match out and listen to the crowd.


Juan 03-22-2017 05:38 AM

What ever year Warlord and the Barbarian were running roughshod through the roster. 1991 I wanna say

DAMN iNATOR 03-23-2017 12:38 AM

Of years since I've been an actual regular viewer, probably 2002, since it was the first full year I watched...2001, all I have memories of is a small portion of Survivor Series-end of the year, so not enough data for me to accurately assess it.

Years I wasn't a viewer but have seen all kinds of clips of? Oh, man...that one is tough. :-\ 1998 seemed amazing, with Rock finally starting to come into his own, but he totally owned 1999 & 2000, so I guess its a 3-way tossup between those years for me.

And children (myself at the time) don't give a fuck about...well, anything.

Ol Dirty Dastard 03-23-2017 07:32 AM

As I mentioned initially, it was a big nostalgia year for a lot of people, you wang.

Anybody Thrilla 03-23-2017 09:38 AM

I'm not attacking anyone. Just discussing from my own personal perspective, which is all I can give. No idea why you're calling me names.

Anybody Thrilla 03-23-2017 09:39 AM

It's not like I said anyone was wrong or anything, and I even mentioned that I wasn't even quite certain why I kept thinking of the year.

Anybody Thrilla 03-23-2017 09:40 AM

Is it because I said 'fuck'? Check the context, brother.

Anybody Thrilla 03-23-2017 09:41 AM

If anything, I was agreeing with you. Children. Nostalgia. I shouldn't have to explain that connection.
