Top 10 Attitude Era Moments WWE Wants You to Forget

[@absoluteerradicator7332]

Never forget those glorious moments. Hail the Attitude Era.

[@Tinyjohnson127]

If you think about it, the big boss man was one of the most important parts of the attitude era

[@embersstark7126]

Was definitely a time and era that can't be replicated. I was a teenager in middle school and high school for this and it still gives me fond memories.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

As I get older, I realize it's an era that *shouldn't* be replicated.

[@TruthBomber73]

I watched the atitude Era live back in the day. I now see these videos from time to time and wonder to myself...If they want us to forget, then why is it all fully available via Peacock?!

[@embersstark7126]

It's like real history. It's all there, good and bad. It happened.

[@acerimmer8338]

There's some things definitely NOT on the Cock, specifically blackface DX.

[@dippydurian]

What I think is even crazier is how a lot of these moments were being celebrated as some of the best moments by the company around 15 years ago. I remember seeing the Sammy bit and drugged Stephanie on these specials on the best moments of wrestling or Raw.

[@JonnyAugz]

Attitude era mid carders got bigger pops than some of todays top guys.

[@brettrossi034]

Damn you're right! New age outlaws, Al Snow, even Taka and Funaki got bigger pops than many today

[@L_Train]

To be fair, WWE is consistently selling out arenas as of late. I just went to a smackdown with well over 10,000 fans in attendance. It set a record for wwe in that arena. It was the loudest I've ever heard it. Attitude era is almost mythical in people's eyes. I lived through it. Mid carders did NOT get bigger pops than any of today's top guys. With the possible exception of new age outlaws.

[@Unethical_Ethical_HackTips]

​@L_Train I lived through it too and there were definitely some mid carders that guy huge pops that would beat some pops from today. The crowd was just more engaged and louder back then come on man stop trying to downplay the attitude era

[@L_Train]

@@Unethical_Ethical_HackTips Have you been to any events recently, as in the last 6 months? They are rocking. The point is that the original commenter is exaggerating. The top guys today don't get less crowd reaction than the mid carders back then.

[@nikobellic8627]

Disco always got a good pop cupcake

[@Makoto03]

Great video. i loved the Attitude Era, warts and all. I appreciate how creative and unafraid it was to do storylines. Modern wrestling is way too sanitized and boring imo.

[@JustinJTime]

I agree, the modern WWE is like I'm being bombarded with 10,000 pounds of Skittles right into my brain.

[@williamsmith666]

"Sanitized and boring" Much like its fans

[@josewmeldondo]

Ok boomer

[@stuartday1330]

I agree and there's nothing wrong with boomers. There is something wrong with millennials. Like they were all born with yellow streaks down their backs and with the minds of goldfish.

[@a-khanation5279]

This is a very good List documentary video , really good amount of video clips used , You Keep going strong .

[@Gojirilla]

2:50 Russo's main reason for creating the Brawl for All was just to have Bradshaw get his ass kicked. The higher ups at WWE were the ones who were more interested in pushing Steve Williams. 10:42 still not nearly as bad as the blackface Goldust he did when up against Flash Funk, during Raw in 1998

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

You know damn well there's too many people who will never speak ill of the attitude era, even though it has a LOT of things that deserve it. One of the most pertinent examples of the "rose tinted glasses" phenomenon.

[@jasonybarra3423]

I've heard so much bad stuff about wrestling behind the scenes it's hard to get into it anymore

[@aidanbagwell7879]

It’s not nearly as bad as the behind scenes on movie sets or other tv

[@areasevenpro]

D-Generation X impersonating the Nation of Domination.

[@embersstark7126]

Bart Gunn man. That was sad. Butterbean cleaned his clock cleaned and he wasnt ready.

[@DJTM]

The best thing about Dustin giving up Gold Dust was he had an interview where he told people to turn the channel to Discovery because there was a special on lizards. I was watching with my dad and he said, “Ooh”, then changed the channel.

[@murmursmeglos]

There was so much going on there were bound to be some duds, the late 90's were very experimental in general. I feel like the company could have gone full corporate and tried to remove the era from our memories, but finally defeating WCW is still their biggest bragging right that they don't want to forget.

[@deondrecarter153]

Let’s not forget Over the edge 99 paper view they definitely want to forget that

[@jeremywilliams5141]

As well as the Brian Pillman gun incident.

[@jimbo_1312]

Forget pillmans got a gun, and remember ​how Vince exploited Melanie for ratings after Brian's death.

[@BrandNew777]

Hardley a storyline though which is probably what the SBW was aiming at here, maybe a part 2 or summit woukd be good for this

[@Black-Circle]

2:00 WWE was not trying to be family friendly in 1999 thats why it was +14 rating. it wasnt for young kids obviously

[@kidgruesome407]

I love your voice. I guess there is room for 3 awesome UK wrestling channels! ( OSW and Wrestling Bios being the others)

[@rodgooner329]

Alot of these storylines came from the jerry springer show I heard vince russo got the ideas from 😂 but I love to know where giving birth to a hand came from 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DanielJackson98]

The thing I hate the most when they try to do “real sports” is that they get mad at the winner not being the one they wanted to win like Bart Gunn and the one I remember the most and pisses me off the most is Daniel Pewter, they told him to go out and have an actual fight with Kurt and that’s what he did, and he got punished because he was too good and almost beat Kurt

[@kimmolaine8069]

They didn't tell Pewter shit. The kid was trying to make a name for himself off script.

[@stuartday1330]

There's only three things I want to forget about the Attitude Era. 1. Mark Henry and his character that I don't want to even type and everything that had to do with it including Mae Young. 2. Beaver Cleavage, enough said. And 3. "It's me Austin. It was me all along!" Yes, the unveiling of the Ministry of Darkness leader. Other things that sucked but are just a miss and you'll have that from time to time in wrestling.

[@roninmarketing4048]

Most of these were great, but the Trish Stratus one always made me cringe a bit. Still, I would take Attitude Era again if we could.

[@MrSniperfox29]

It would take years for the WWE to take head chair shots seriously Correction It would take years for the wrestling industry as a whole to take them seriously. Hell, the very week WWE banned unprotected chair shots to the head, TNA went and did them and even went as far as to say "look at us, we're hardcore!"

[@ABIT-cb1qh]

WWF in attitude Era was so unhinged, edgy.

[@deancreambetweens]

1. When The Rock battered Mankind 2. When shoot fighting came to the WWF 3. When Road Warrior Hawk had substance abuse issues 4. When Undertaker hanged Big Boss Man 5. When Triple H "married" Stephanie McMahon 6. When Boss Man crashed Big Show's dad's "funeral" 7. When Goldust had an identity crisis 8. When Mark Henry became Sexual Chocolate 9. When Chaz was accused of domestic assault 10. When Vince made Trish bark like a dog

[@RolfWrenWalsh]

And yet Sexual Chocolate is Mark Henry's most memorable and fun gimmick, followed by Hall of Pain.

[@LobsterPuncher]

The only thing funny about Mae Young giving birth to a hand is that there is literally no context that makes it make sense.

[@kimmolaine8069]

It makes perfect sense in Vince's mind.

[@kwilliams5260]

Hahaha sexual chocolate

[@MR-hx4dj]

It's come to my attention in comments sections that there is a whole generation of fans that call them paper views.

[@rickymcn1]

Greatest era in WWE. Nothing is shocking unless you're an habitual pearl clutcher.

[@MichaelSpikes-pv6kl]

Good show

[@WrestlingCompilations]

Why WWE tries to hide away or deny moments that happened when everyone knows they happened, I do not know

[@Buckdawg]

Nah man, Brawl for All was f'n awesome! 😬 So many of these guys genuinely buy into their own bs and start thinking they're legit tough guys... So it was amazing to see them actually put up or shut up! Honestly wish they'd do it again, with updated rules now that UFC is massive. And with so many wrestlers making the jump to dabble in that sport, it would be more suitable than ever 😬

[@Calvin-ks9cr]

Trish Stratus❤

They may want us to forget but I'll always remember 😅😅😅

There probably isn't 10.

[@darkchocolate3390]

I knew all of these storylines except for the #9 one. God dang the Attitude Era had a lot more shit than I remembered.

@@josewmeldondo haha, this video is about how people would be offended by this stuff today. I take it you didn't like the content of the late 90s, therfore this video is directed at people like you. And I'm in my mid 30s, not everyone older than you is a 'boomer'. Go go back to playing with your anime dolls in your mom's house.

It would have taken many years for Chris's damaged brain to heal if he were still alive in our universe. He would have been taking a lot of pills.

[@RawHunterX]

I may sound like an old man but looking at pretty much all these stories and comparing it with whats there nowadays makes me really miss the old days. Yes, the stories were controversial but they were creative, physical and funny. Nowadays, its always the same boring shit, all they do is talk on the mic, throwing some lame ass censored insults and slap each other like a bunch of little girls...

[@kimmolaine8069]

It's true-- You just sounded like an old man.

[@masterrserch3971]

9:20 U DAAAAAMN right it was hilarious. The Big Show's oversell of being dragged and thrown from the escape vehicle, which also included Show disregarding any simple, commonly understood, laws of inertia and physics was maybe top 3 funniest things ive ever seen in wrestllng, and my buddies and i still sometimes reference it. Yeah sure, in real llfe you may get the 1st case of unanimous agreement on zero criminal charges sticking if the family at the funeral took revenge in really any amount of horrible ways, on the guy who ... ya know... FRIGGIN trailer hitched and sloppily dragged away the dead family member in his FRIGGIN coffin.. But that's the beauty of wresting; you can get away with the silliest, most ridiculous, and overly cruel things that these cartoonish characters orchestrate while playing "the bad guy." Id never root for a world famous, veteran US army Sgt siding with Sadam, but in wrestling, i goddamn loved that Sgt Slaughter. Id never glorify and die laughing at a trained, experienced, strong as a bull wrestler, salpping a crossfaced chicken wing on a 5'4" 117 lb twerp like Lou Gianfrito, but holy shit, once agakn, did my buddies and i laugh and still bring it up when it lands... And it goes on... I GUESS the wwe "wants you to forget it," but 9 times outta 10, most people are just gonna dismiss it and laugh the "acting" off

[@Riz_]

It was unpredictable at times, barmy at others but nobody will ever forget it. Having said that there was allot of things which were in utter poor taste back then. It's easy to argue the rights or wrongs of those times but one thing I can certainly say, I haven't watched the WWE since it has gone PG.

[@kimmolaine8069]

The matches themselves are better in the modern era. Everyone's so talented.

[@kwilliams5260]

I miss how crazy and cool wrestling was back then..

[@williamsmith666]

Screw the "do better" pearl-clutching of modern fans and viewpoints. You werent there, didn't came up during this peak and will never know how perfect this era was, how it tapped into the post-Gen X nihilism of its time. Everything about it, even the controversial what's-its, were perfect.

[@donovandelaney3171]

Should we be surprised by that? It's not the first time that Vince has committed a crime. He gave wrestlers drugs in the 80's and 90's.

[@RetepElpmet]

I kinda thought the Brawl for All was pretty cool. Mainly because I was a Bradshaw fan. Looking back on it now, was I ever wrong. Yikes!

That stuff was lots of fun.

[@Black-Circle]

when people say bad taste....they forget that its wrestling.... its a work. Its supposed to be entertaining or to get a reaction. its no different than a movie or a tv show. Alot of the crap in the 90's can be considered bad taste in the woke liberal era of 2024 where people are offended by anything. its sad!

[@pushon10]

For me, the worst moment was The Undertaker trying to embalm Steve Austin. It's so stupid that he would try to kayfabe MURDER a rival wrestler....in full view of the audience and commentators!

[@Black-Circle]

WWE gets criticised for its storylines yet no one bats an eyelid at tv shows and movies with similar if not worse themes.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

Whaddya mean? Yes they do. The WWF in the attitude era had gratuitous nonsense, which it's why it's heavily scrutinized in hindsight.

[@xXCaptainLouXx420]

Well it's all back now, you see that beating on Raw?

No mention of Katie Vick?

Katie was aggression era. (2002-2007)

[@fro-zone2k]

The Attitude Era had endless storylines, gimmicks & characters that have aged terribly.

[@rossridings4282]

Are the story lines anymore terrible than most other soap operas like coronation street or eastenders both featuring evermore dramatic and shocking story lines? It is after all a soap opera in itself

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

Show me a soap opera of an old lady giving birth to a hand, *in a wrestling event* mind you, and then we'll talk

[@daimon9]

Corporate BS. Doing what's right for the shareholders instead of the fans is going to bite their parent company in the ass!

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

The fans don't actually want a modern carbon copy of the attitude era horseshit. They want competent storytelling with edge, and they seem to be doing that without making Liv Morgan bark like a dog or some shit.

[@Firevine]

The Attitude Era wasn't good. It's what made me lost interest in wrestling.

[@jimbo_1312]

There was a lot of questionable stuff during the attitude era, but it shouldn't be forgotten. Just learn from it and do better.

[@L_Train]

You should look into some of the lesser known things that happened during the era. Those are the real terrible ideas. This video is just the cliché ones that everyone talks about.
