Brilliant topic. I always like these.

Here we go...

Wrestler Of The Era

Shawn Michaels. In the ring there has never been anyone who can tell a story or keep the crowd on the edge of their seats like HBK. From his revolutionary tag matches with Marty as the Rockers through to his awesome IC title and World Title runs of 'the New Generation' era. No-one provided a better match every single night than HBK.

Champion Of The Era

This is really tough. Like really, really tough. So many great champions are coming to mind right now. I guess if you are going to say who did the most for their company as the champion, the top guy, the number one face... it has to be Hulk Hogan in the WWF. Did more for wrestling's mainstream popularity than anyone. As far as bringing credibility to the WWF Heavyweight Title, well he made half the world look up and take notice of the WWF Title.

Tag Team Of The Era

My personal preferences are coming in here. The New Age Outlaws. The charisma, the crowd support, the numerous title reigns etc. etc. They were awesome.

Babyface of the Era

Had to be Hulk Hogan again. Could have been The Rock or Austin, but this was too easy to pick.

Heel of the Era

This one is not easy either. There has been so many great heels. Roddy Piper was always a guy I despised as a mark. Although I want to try and shy away from landing all my awards in the Attitude Era onwards however... I have to go with Triple H. This guy has done some of the most despicable things in wrestling history in the ring and out of the ring. Marrying the bosses daughter was the icing on the cake.

Card Of The Era

Wrestlemania X-7. This is when it peaked.

Match Of The Era

HBK/Bret. Iron Man.

Character/Gimmick Of The Era

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. How the hell this guy, coming off the heels of the New Generation era, managed to be the biggest, baddest son of a bitch in the company. He flipped the middle fingers, swilled beer, hit anyone and everyone heel or face with the Stunner, Stunned Santa 'fucking' Claus, swore and generally caused mayhem everywhere, managed to become the most cheered superstar since Hulk Hogan, sold more merchandise and pulled more buy-rates and TV ratings is beyond me. What a character. So unique.

Angle Of The Era

Angles only really becoming so multi-layered etc. in the Attitude Era and so forth. Therefore I have to go with one from this time. McMahon/Austin comes to mind, the HHH/Steph/Angle love triangle, the DX angles etc. are all up there. However my favourite angle was the Higher Power angle. It revealed Vince as the Undertaker's master and set up the bad-ass Corporate Ministry. The culmination of this angle, but not the end of it, was when Vince was revealed only to be thwarted by his wife who appointed Stone Cold as the CEO. This angle had everything. Brilliant.

Worst Wrestler Of The Era

X-Pac, lol.
