Yeah this. Most of the actual matches are completely forgettable. The draw was the actual storylines which lasted more than 2 weeks and the subsequent investment that you had in the wrestlers. I'm not sure how the WWE has utterly lost sight of this, and thinks wrestlers can get over now with their generic jobber names and no characterisation.

That's fine. Suggest me shit like that. I'm not some NJPW mark who only cares about in-ring talent. I can appreciate a good angle

Basically watch all of '99.

we regularly get 4 star+ matches on TV and wrestling is the least popular it has ever been

match quality means fuck all

>>1864953
These.

EnC / Hardyz Ladder Match at No Mercy
WM2000 Ladder Match
TLC + TLC2
Mankind vs. Triple H for the WWE Title on RAW
2001 Rumble Match
Jericho vs Triple H for the WWE Title on RAW (the fast count that got reversed)

All WM Rock/Austins (is 19 technically RA at this point?)

Triple H vs Cactus Jack HIAC

Angle's entire run as EuroContinential Champion

It's quite difficult, because during the AE era, you had stuff happening all the way up and down the card.

I just picked out a random Raw report from 1999, have a look here.

Everyone is doing something, that's why it was such a hot period, the audience were invested in what was going on. Storylines were more than what you get now where A has randomly decided he doesn't like B, we'll have a blow off match in a PPV in a month, but before that we'll face each other about 6 times in a variety of singles and tag matches.

read my post again mong before replying to me.

sorry did not read it all

2/13/97 -> IYH: Final Four (Bret vs Austin vs. Taker vs Vader) -> 2/17/97
3/3/97 (Owen vs Bulldog) -> 3/10/97 -> 3/17/97 -> Wrestlemania 13 -> 3/24/97 -> 3/31/97
4/7/97 -> IYH: Revenge -> 4/21/97 -> 4/28/97
5/5/97 -> 5/12/97 -> 5/19/97 -> 5/26/97 (HBK/Austin vs Bulldog/Owen)
6/2/97 -> KOTOR (HBK vs. Austin, HHH vs Mankind) -> 6/9/97 -> 6/16/97 ->6/23/97 -> 6/30/97
IYH: Canadian Stampede (5 vs 5, Michinoku vs Great Sasuke, Taker vs Vader) -> 7/7/97 (HHH vs Austin) -> 7/14/97 -> 7/21/97 -> 7/28/97
Summerslam 97 -> 8/4/97 -> 8/11/97 -> 8/18/97
IYH: Ground Zero (Patriot vs Hart, Taker vs HBK) -> 9/8/97 (Bret vs Vader) -> 9/15/97 -> One Night Only (Taker vs Bret, HBK vs Bulldog) -> 9/22/97 -> 9/29/97
IYH: Bad Blood (Taker vs HBK)

As far I got into the AE. Like already said, you could a bunch of shit/meh matches. Following the progression of Austin, the formation of the Hart Foundation and DX, Taker and Paul Bearer/Kane, usually the Nation of Domination (Rock joins them in 8/11/97) and Mick Foley really getting over are the most interesting things.

I'm watching '98 and it is awful except for Stone Cold, The rock and a little group of wrestlers that are GOAT
'98 mid and low card is fucking terrible

>>1865071
One of the worse midcards ever.
