Yep and "coincidentally" that's when wrestling was at its absolute peak popularity, funny how so many nu-males cry about muh chairshots muh blood muh edgy thumbs up meme when wrestling was on top of the world then and now it's a gay joke

WWE fucking sucks now

>>1806666
Oh yeah and the ho's, thongs, nice big tits, another thing SJWWE will never have again

No wonder the ratings are going down the drain, no one wants to watch this shitty neutered bland pablum

>>1806672
it was because ecw had no dq's and legitimately great wrestlers who got to use weapons and brawling as part of wrestling matches to expand their palette of options. the wwf of course just assumed the weapons were the whole point and suddenly you had jobbers swinging brooms and cookie sheets at each other

the hardcore title actually meant something when rvd was champion, and it's not a coincidence he was an ecw guy

This was fucking amazing.

A lot of people say that it was all because of Austin, but that's just shitposting, back then in the day when you heard the glass shattering intro it wasn't equivalent to "Austin will get over" but a "Austin will make things right" kind of feeling.

I haven't really watched wrestling beyond lucha underground but the webms in this thread look real great, today's product just looks like a sterile attempt to recapture any of the energy or mood that is instantly understandable from the stuff in this thread, what a shame

Man, it's incredible how much worse things are nowadays, I'm glad I was lucky enough to get into wrestling during the NWO/Austin era.

i remember those days and kinda surprises how "normal" wrestling was, recognizing sting, hogan, talking about raw the day after...those things feel so nerd now, but back in the day it was like nothing, like asking about the weather to start a conversation.

kinda depressing desu
