ITT: People and things not over during the Attitude Era.

>>2648737
Joe Boxer was mega over for some reason. I remember specifically asking my mom for a pair so I could sag my breeches and nig it up during middle school.

This only lasted for like 3 weeks, whereas now it would last for 2 years.

Remember when Thrash rejoined Chazz and he went back to being Mosh?

Remember when The Headbangers were the first team to feud with The Dudley Boys?

Remember when The Headbangers were in WWF Warzone?

>>2648834
They were better than every tag team in WWE right now, sans the Hardy Boyz

This is a FACT

'Bangers vs. Kaientai on Sunday Night Heat > Seamus and Caesar vs. American Alfafa on Raw

>>2648765
>when this is the best you could possibly look

I should just kill myself

>>2648855
The Headbangers were always dogshit and still are.

I watched some 1998 Raws a few months back and the crowds were fucking dead when he'd show up.

Dean Malenko. Crickets everytime he came out and his feud with Matt didn't put him anywhere. He was just too bland even trying to steal Lita from Matt wasn't drawing enough attention.

>>2649199
This character woulda worked in 95, not 98.

>>2649206
it was funny how his manservant was an obvious mexican masquerading as a poo

>>2649209
this guy was just too much of a manlet

you could get by as a manlet if you had a good gimmick or good on the mic or good attire or a good theme but he had nothing

just the most vanilla midget of all time

>Ever needing this cheap ripoff

>>2648737
The entire Light Heavyweight division

was Bray Wyatt version 1 during attitude era?

>>2649209
Is every single feud involving Matt without Jeff on the WWF/E about someone trying to cuck him and mostly succeeding?

Being Alicia Fox on 205 Live ten years earlier is a weird way to get on the Hall of Fame.

>>2650148
No, Weylon Mercy was around very briefly in 1995.

Those were the short-lived days, weren't they.

Over like Rover in the late 80s/early 90s, in the Attitude era not so much

>>2651770
>implying crashing big show's dad's funeral and feeding al snow his own dog didn't get good heat

I feel incredibly sorry for the wrestlers who faded into obscurity, from their dreams, because of bad bookings, personal decisions or just bad luck.

>>2652022
And I always thought about how they felt and what they did afterwards.

Am I the only one?

Epic return in 1999 accompanied by deafening indifference and that one time he got rock bottomed on a pile of dogshit.

>>2649199
Didn't The Rock steal the "it doesn't matter what your name is" shit from him?

>>2650244
Him and his stranding Big Show in the desert was one of the top 10 promos of the era

>>2652533
Yeah he did.

Some of the backstage antics were pretty funny. I remember JR blasting him for wearing socks in bed with Lita.

>>2651985
he and Head were over.

>>2651985
Al Snow was over as fuck

>>2651770

he was more over as a heel when he came back to WWF than he was as Big Bubba in mid 90's WCW

>>2651985
I mean, Head was over as shit.

>>2652426

>I enjoyed brawl for all.

>>2650244
I started watching rasslin when I was about 14 and I legit thought taker was scary. I mean not for myself, but for the guy in the ring with him. He had an aura of evil about him. Of course I didn't know rasslin was fake either.

>>2653168
What version of taker?

If you didn't get over in the attitude era then you just plain sucked. You could literally put a jobber in a nwo shirt and he was over.

>>2651754
>Mexicans

You do know Boricua means Puerto Rican right?

>>2651770
He was over bro. When he returned people were like oh shit its Bossman and he is badass now. He was in the corporation, took Big show for a ride on his dad's casket and fed Al Snow his dog

Thinking those shirts were magic get over free cards is what led to the stable's demise.

>>2649209

Malenko was god-tier as a killer in the Crusierweight division in WCW. But yeah, he was way too small and lacked charisma for WWE.

>>2650152

Waylon Mercy was fucking awesome by the way. Definitely my favorite character from the shitty mid-90s era. He wasn't around long and he wasn't necessarily more than just a bottom end midcarder but that character was so fucking cool.

Waylon Mercy was a big scary southern sociopath son of a bitch. Bray Wyatt is a fat sensitive kid,

>>2651770

Boss Man was great as a goon in Corporation. What you talking about nigger?

Hahaha, right? Aside from Severn that was arguably the biggest pile of shit in the prime Attitude Era.

You're right, they were over at other points in their careers, but not on WCW as part of the NWO.

Hi Jeff!

>>2655131
How's your day, you jurassic slapass?

>>2654522
Misogynist Double J was pretty over actually.

His tag team with Owen was severely underrated.

>>2654522
Fuck you, Jarrett rules.

>>2654565
I remember when Taka got thrown our of the Royal Rumble and slammed his face on the ground so hard he started bleeding

>>2648765
Don't post NXT wrestlers, you dummie.

State of this thread.

Raw after royal rumble 97 was when the seeds were starting to be sown of the AA. REALY all came to a head the raw after WM XIV and never looked back

Bull Buchanan seemed to be the lanklet x-pac.

>>2651692
He kek'd Joey Samoey from a WWE developmental contact, tho.

>>2654506
He really is. I watched all of his matches/promos (trust me, there weren't many and it didn't take long) and he was far better than Bray ever was.

>>2650141
Was about to say this.

The puppies were over, however.

>>2650148
>>2650152
I'd say Mideon was the original Wyatt.
