WWE 2002-2005 Year Reviews - Collection

[@wrestlingspremier]

I have a title reign video coming, a Survivor Series review and a small video about John Cena

[@wwewrestlingandgaming4136]

What’s the Cena vid about ?

[@daquanhardy5516]

Please do the Eugene video

[@alec2000]

The early years of Ruthless Aggression were some of the most fun years in WWE history for me. All the new stars created from John Cena, Batista, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Edge, and even Attitude Era stars still in their primes, like HBK, Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero, etc. Amazing theme songs for PPVS, wrestlers, and weekly shows, the consistently amazing PPV shows such as a yearly streak of great WrestleManias, and so much more. Man, these years truly were so much fun and I’ll forever treasure them.❤️😊

[@theprowrestlingguy6851]

I agree with you on that one! Plus, we also see some Cruiserweights for the likes of Billy Kidman, Nunzio, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, and many more!

[@Robert-ub8xb]

Thanks!

[@shawnmichaels568]

The Rutheless agression era aside from it being our childhood era, produced some of the best mix of qualities between in-ring & storylines. It had everything, from the feuds to the presentation to the starpower.

[@mbeas9612]

The 2002-2005 was special with Cena, Orton, Batista, Edge, Eddie, Brock, Benoit, JBL, Trish and Lita established themselves as main event stars while Evolution was the most dominant faction, Goldberg made his debut, Smackdown 6, Kane umasked, Foley vs Orton, Angle vs Lesnar, Trish vs Lita, HHH vs HBK, Eddie vs JBL, Hollywood Rock, HBK made his return, Thuganomics Cena, Legend Killer Orton and the debuts of the OVW 4 and Mysterio. The 2002-2005 time period was great with the star power from HHH, HBK, Taker, Brock, Angle, Cena, Orton, Batista, Trish, Edge, Lita, Eddie, Benoit, Mysterio, Jericho, JBL, Torrie, Booker and Kane as they were top stars being in their prime.

Great compilation!

Reign of triumph! #TeamTripsSince95

[@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx]

It was pretty entertaining. People over hate it. Guess they wanted a main event scene consisting of Jeff Hardy, RVD, D Low Brown and Bubba Dudley. Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Randy Orton , Batista, Chris Jericho and Kane are jobbers in that reality .

[@NostalgiaKing90]

I first started watching WWE during the Ruthless Aggression Era. It was absolutely fantastic! Kurt Angle was my favorite wrestler from the R A Era.

[@NoahSmith-r7u]

Same here. Although it made me want to watch the Attitude Era. My favorite was Undertaker. He was a heel fighting The Rock. One of my first memories was Undertaker giving the Rock a pile driver on a limo. Kurt was also on my list of favorites. I didn't get to know Stone Cold as much. Until he came back.

[@Devondavis-fm2dz]

Ruthless aggression era back in 2004 and 2005 was goated

[@torch469]

02-05 were the best years!

[@malykburnett5456]

Y2J should went to Smackdown in 2004.

[@jordanmccluskey891]

Ohhh yeah good answer Chris Jericho would had legit been a great pick because you know the story after Brock Lesnar left in 2004 the SmackDown roster was thin with Big Show being injured, Kurt Angle being injured, Ron Simmons retiring from wrestling and since Triple H didn't wanna go to Smackdown WWE legit should had Chris Jericho got drafted to Smackdown and he could had been the top heel of the blue brand, defeated Eddie Guerrero, for the WWE Championship and had the lengthy reign but instead WWE went the route with John Bradshaw Layfield and Jericho would wait until 2008 to get another World Title Run

[@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx]

Been saying that for years

[@jordanmccluskey891]

@@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx instead WWE was continuing the Christian & Trish Stratus storyline he was in

[@abstracttheentertainer7029]

That would’ve been interesting, Y2J on Smackdown in 2004

[@jordanmccluskey891]

@abstracttheentertainer7029 facts like the WWE gave him the World Title in December 2001 and Ran with it all the way up until WrestleMania 18

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Juventud!!! The Juice! Rock probably would've buried him if his contract was renewed since he did it in promos all the time.

[@Ovoxomixedwxo]

This is toughhh🔥🔥

[@Hotsaws1017]

These vids goated🤲🏻I fall asleep to these shits and I be feelin like a kid reliving all those matches I used to love. U should link up with superkick studios they make dope wwe retrospective

[@NoahSmith-r7u]

Stone Cold was originally to Face Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18. He turned it down. So they gave him Scott Hall. I don't know what he expected. Even top stars have to work with others who are not. That's how you create stars. And All of 2001 just about he was Champion.. I can understand 2002 for him wasn't going as good as 2001. Undertaker is a top guy but spent most of 2001 in tag team matches. But I think it was more his health and Vince wanted Brock to beat him clean without no storyline. I can see why he was upset about that.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Austin was wwf champ in 1998, 1999, 2001. He was involved in multiple main event segments also in 99, 98, and 00 in the rare times he wasn't champ. He main evented and won the title from the #2 babyface twice. The wwf made more merch for him than anyone else in the roster. He led a faction. What more could he want in 02?

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Christian's pops in April-June 2005 were a pleasant surprise.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

The best show was Raw to me because of the "dark cloud." #HHHATERSGONNAHHHATE

[@Speedyreedy1218]

I wouldn't had minded Hardcore Holly being wwe champ on SD in 03. Believably tough, paid dues, believable promo.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Shoutout to Eddie for making sure Big Show looked good at No Mercy 2003.

[@quentinflacko24]

Dam wrestling premier early upload 2 hrs long wtf😂 Imma watch it once I get off tonight ruthless aggression era always my childhood era

[@jaysonreid588]

Hey @wrestlingspremier I been watching your videos for a long time and I really enjoyed them. Idk if you do videos requests but do you think you can do a video on aj styles 2nd title reign as a baby face !

[@wrestlingspremier]

yeah I really want to do that one. It might come very soon

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Eugene has great taste in "who his favorite wrestler of all time" is.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Kane loved being unmasked. He felt like he had more depth.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Didn't care for SD 02-05, but I'd watch it now in a heartbeat over wrestling of the last 10-15 years to the present.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Love Trish v Vickie at Survivor Series 02! I will always say Vickie is her best rival, not overrated Lita. Those 02-03 matches were so good between them.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

HHH'S was memorable for the right reasons.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

I would agree that a MNM vs Dudleys feud would be welcomed.

[@Ovoxomixedwxo]

Also the dark side of the ring plane ride from hell episode is already out

[@TDW28]

Noti gng❤

[@Speedyreedy1218]

I'm probably the only fan not a Long Island native at Summerslam 2002 who rejoiced when Rock and Austin were gone. 😁😁😁

[@Speedyreedy1218]

The Kurt/Sharmel stuff was funny.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Jamie Noble was underappreciated.

[@Al-ji4gd]

Early Ruthless Aggression was definitely far superior to late the RA era. The three best years were 2002, 2003 and 2005. 2004 was kinda mid, 2006 sucked, and 2007 and 08 were decent, but not as good as the earlier years.

[@dmercy8477]

07 was bad. Not as bad as 06 but still weak. I don’t why y’all think it’s a good year.

[@Al-ji4gd]

@@dmercy8477 Maybe it seemed better to me because '06 sucked so much, I don't know. Some of the PPVs were very good, and there were a couple of good rivalries.

[@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx]

Personally like 2002,03 and 08. 05 good too but once Cena becomes Champion, that’s it. And he becomes really boring post Jericho departure. 06 is on and off . Love Kurt Angle as WHC , Cena Edge HHh feud was good too, it just becomes boring around the June time .

[@Sammy-rh5vt]

I love these videos, but didn't you already do this My Favorite Era of all time or Am i mistakeing

[@wrestlingspremier]

It's a collection video, I do these for new viewers and people that want to know about my videos

[@Sammy-rh5vt]

@wrestlingspremier Ohhh nice OK Cool

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Wanted to see HHH and Kurt to feud in 2005, but Kurt was back on SD four months later when Batista was hurt.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Goldberg had a year long contract and didn't even work the whole year. Didn't work Insurrextion 03, the Australian tour, Judgement Day 2003, January and most of February 2004.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

The Jilian Hall mole thing was...something.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Love MNM! Mainly Johnny and Melina. Wonder what would happen if they kept them together by the time DX reunited so they could work together.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

What was the deal with Mordecai in 2004?

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Bubba Ray Dudley had a stutter for his first year in the wwf. Matt Morgan could've stuck it out and see how it evolved earlier.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Didn't understand why Gail was cut.

[@LBFSSport]

Needed more emphasis on JBL in 04… I legit thought he made Eddie’s mom have a heart attack.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

I have no idea why Randy didn't drop the IC belt to Shelton at Bad Blood.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

I know a lot of people like Y2J vs HBK in 2003. But I prefer Y2J's series of matches vs Shelton in 2004 like Taboo Tuesday and the rematch afterwards.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Kurt Angle's rookie year > Brock's. I stand by it.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Lita revealed on Raw she chose to sleep with Kane, leading to Matt breaking up with her and leaving the brand.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

HHH white boots were 🔥 !!!

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Molly's 03-04 was good!

[@Speedyreedy1218]

That was Dmx doing Kidman's song?!

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Enjoyed Spike. Sasha Banks owes him gimmick infringement money.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

They let Trish take four months off with the title May-September and no one complained. People whined when Shawn didn't defend his titles regularly 97-98.

[@nationofmasturbation4052]

Boy,nobody cares about woman wrestling especially back then

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Didn't know Dupree was a tag champ on SD.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

I thought HLA was hilarious. And the HHH-Eugene stuff was elite.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Should Matt be praised for being the first in 2005, not Daniel Bryan in 2014, to force Creative's hand ?

[@Speedyreedy1218]

You're the only one I've seen say Benoit had a good title reign. JR, Conrad, et al said it was disappointing.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Didn't care for cartoon Hurricane. But I enjoyed Gregory Helms 06-07 cruiserweight run.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Muhammad Hassan would've been a great fit to replace Orton in Evolution.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Wonder why Kane was chosen to get a title shot at Bad Blood 2004 over Jericho?

[@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx]

Bigger more intimidating challenge for Benwa i think

[@Speedyreedy1218]

@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx Kane stopped being intimidating when Austin took his title in 24hrs. Absolutely killed his mystique.

[@jordanmccluskey891]

4:10 I mean yeah Wrestlingspremier The Rock doing the job and putting over Brock Lesnar and Steve Austin didn't want to but you gotta look at it like this 2002 Steve Austin was going through a lot this wasn't the same Stone Cold from 1996-2001 the original plan was Austin vs Hogan at WrestleMania 18 Austin didn't wanna do that so it got changed to Austin vs Scott Hall but Austin would go on to admit in interviews and admit to Brock Lesnar himself that he should had went ahead and did the match on RAW in June 2002

[@Speedyreedy1218]

04-05 Trish is goated.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Austin being so salty at HHH when the company put EVERYTHING into him for five years to suddenly abandon the company (numerous times when something wasn't written his way) and get mad when a veteran more talented who took no days off calls him out on it is rich. The Bar Brawling bafoon Act didn't excite me 97-01. Nor did it in 2003.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Why release The Marine in 2006 if Cena filmed it in 2004?

[@y212ify]

yessirr

[@Speedyreedy1218]

WP: Cena improved whether charisma or in-ring. Fans 2005-2018: Cena sucks! You can't wrestle!

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Fans: Austin didn't last long because of nagging injuries. HHH Works multiple decades with nagging injuries throughout his career. A true leader. Fans: HHH should lose to everyone. Tired of him. We want flashy talent to be the guy on tv even if they can't handle (or want to handle) all the responsibility off tv that comes with it.

[@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx]

They want HHh to lose every feud . They want him to lose to Bubba Dudley, D Lo Brown , RVD , Kane , Steiner , Booker (the only one that he should’ve actually lost) , Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels and Frickin Eugene . Basically , they wanted him to be a jobber.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx Exactly. Ridiculous.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Not renewing a contract isn't a cut. Sorry Rock.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Vickie teaming up with Candice and Torrie wasn't believable in 2005.

[@ItsAGoodChannel]

The robbery us as fans received by not getting Guerrero vs Michaels at wrestle friggin' mania still bothers me. Meltzer probably would've given it 3 stars since, ya know, it wasn't going to be in the Tokyo Dome, but I digress.

[@wrestlingspremier]

He'd probably give it 4 1/2

[@Speedyreedy1218]

What was gonna be the story to get them to do the match? Since Neither one won the Rumble to switch shows?

[@YuvrajSingh-wx6rx]

Meltzer would’ve given 2.5 since it didn’t feature Ospreay

[@Speedyreedy1218]

HHH put over Benoit, Shelton, Orton, Eugene, Tajiri over in 2004. No idea what you and his critics complain about so much.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

It wasn't Snitsky's fault!

[@Speedyreedy1218]

HHH beat Benoit clean in 2000 before 2005.

[@jordanmccluskey891]

23:30 With the original Survivor Series 2002 WWE title match Brock Lesnar vs Hulk Hogan I mean come on now it's so simple typical Hogan he wanted something in return Hogan flexing his creative control card in August on Smackdown I did the job by having Brock Lesnar beating me with a bear hug so now I want to win WWE Championship at Survivor Series WWE was like nope then Hogan was like then no I'm not showing up and that's why we got Lesnar vs big show and WWE putting the title on Big Show selfish, typical Hogan 🙄😒

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Didn't like Raven and Crash getting cut. Norwitski should've been repackaged. Didn't like his ring work or body, but he could talk.

Truly an amazing time in life but it just doesn’t hit the same. I wish I could get back into wrestling but I don’t know any of the “new” wrestlers and can’t find myself to get attached to any of them or the storylines idk

[@Sai2424]

I found myself in a situation like this years ago. Missed like five or six years of it. Didn’t know much of the new roster but saw some familiar faces. I wasn’t into it as much as I was before, but that soon returned because I guess I found myself falling in love each passing week. And with that, I learned the roster and got acclimated pretty quickly. Just try it to sit through a show if you ever get the urge and see how it does you!
