"If you're an actual fan, you don't get excited about bad business". I agree Simon, you should let everyone else at WhatCulture know that.

You have the story confused. Jarrett left after in your house 2 in July 1995 and came back in December 95. He never went to wcw until october of 1996. And Shawn Michaels got beat up by 1 guy. Well established

Poor Simon; even he can't track Jeff Jarrett's mid-90's flitting between companies. He returned to the WWF in December '95, got legit injured by Ahmed Johnson in Feb. '96, and quit AGAIN at some point between then and his '96 WCW debut...

This is why gimmicks and "names" are very important. No one is paying big money to watch a pro-grappling match with the main event being Glenn vs Mark.

Simon seems to forget that the British Bulldog and Sean waltman were with Shawn Michaels the night that he got attacked and they also verified that it was one Marine the only one that has ever said it was nine was Shawn Michaels

And we had ECW as an alternative to the big 2. WCW launching Monday Nitro was the fuse that woke up VKM from a much needed rest after the first 4-5 years of steering WWE through the lean years.

Looking back at the WWF in 1995 I can see that it was (mostly) bad. At the time I wouldn't have seen that b/c I was 7 at the time. Now being 35 I can look back at this time period with adult eyes and agree how bad it was lol However, it doesn't stop me from going back and watching RAW and the PPVs from this time period :)

I will forever say In Your House Great White North was a fun show simply for the fact I was a child holding the Bret hart heart in the intro That said, wanna know why that PPV failed No Canadians wrestling BRET WAS ON COMMENTARY And Owen wasn't on the card so it had not alot going for it and even less at show time

1995 maybe was not good but at the same time if you was a 11 year old good like me it was fun to look at WWF on Saturday after superstars and Saturday night for wrestling challenge. Also as an add on you has Smoky mountain wrestling, usaw and Ecw broadcasting on syndicated channel like TV 38 in Detroit.

That was the stupidest thing I ever saw how HBK Shawn Michaels lost his smile so he forfeits the WWF Intercontinental Championship, also Vince McMahon let the Kliq get away with murder (helping to get rid of & release good talent who the Kliq hated & despised having Vince in their pocket), also Vince letting Pat Patterson get away with working behind the scenes (& doing gross & disgusting things) as Vince let this go on doing nothing to prevent or stop it.

I would argue that Vince Russo era WCW in 2000 is worse than 1995 WWF mainly because WCW at that time had some absolutely awful storylines & moments like everything that happened with Jeff Jarrett & Hulk Hogan at Bash at the Beach 2000 & the very bad NB Rising PPV in Vancouver Canada.

I saw a picture of Triple H as Hunter Hearst Helmsley last night, and I just went to my wife that this is the guy that’s in charge of the company now And she couldn’t believe it. I mean it was 30 years ago but that’s OK and I told her that every wrestler in the 90s had to have some kind of job or career attached to their name like a dumpster like a clown a dentist a blue blood all that fun stuff.
