Even though the "golden age" era of Hogan and Savage and what not in the 80s and 90s really is broken into 2 parts.

I believe the time period circa Wrestlemania 1-4 to be far different than Wrestlemania 6-9. I think it's clear to see the differences. Wrestlemania 5 was a turning point when things became a lot less old school and a lot more entertainment oriented and colorful for the saturday morning crowd. The advent of characters like Warrior and Macho Man began, even Hogan became more colorful, while some of the dingy lit NWA style guys began to die out. This was the era WCW would later continue on with, while WWE moved in a new direction.

The new generation started at WM10.
Attitude at WM14.
