Wrestling in the late 1990's?

**The Cerebral Assassin** · 02-12-2004, 11:16 PM

Over at wzforums.com in the General Wrestling forum they have topics dedicated to indivudal years in post-kayfabe wrestling.

However, judging frome their grammar and attitudes they are teens with jaded memories. I mean no disprespect to them, but since I didn't watch hardly any wrestling in the late 90's I've based a lot of my knowledge of the era on what they've said. And quite alot of the time it was wrong.

So I have a question for the knowledgeable and matured experts that have been watching both the WWF and WCW/NWA for a longtime.

Could you please give me a short synopsis and review of 1997, 98, and 99 for the WWF and WCW?

What was good about each promotion during those years?

What was bad?

Which promotion was better in each year?

Why did the television ratings skyrocket in 1998 for both promotions?

Which promotion had the better storylines and angles?

Which promotion had the best talent?

Why wasn't Steve Austin a huge draw before Wrestlemania 14?

Between Goldberg and Austin who drew the most in 1998?

Sorry for asking so many questions
