After Wrestlemania 13's submission match [video=youtube;Q4agYHH8BJM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4agYHH8BJM&feature=related[/video]
The pushups and sit ups made me laugh [video=youtube;adBIGVoOnAg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adBIGVoOnAg&feature=related[/video]
This is when it truly began IMO [video=youtube;LGM1o8CDLs8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGM1o8CDLs8[/video]
Definitely Jericho's debut, IMO. Also, for some reason I got a kick out of the Big Bossman tricking Al Snow into eating his dog Pepper. Can't forget "The Radicalz" (Benoit, Guerrero, Saturn, Malenko) debut.
Exactly. That is right there with Flair beating Race at Starrcade I and Hogan beating The Iron Sheik as the most important moment in modern wrestling history.
This was at the tail end of the attitude era, and honestly the loudest pop have ever heard, yet this is the defining end to the era itself imo... [video=youtube;YKz0_JngFmg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKz0_JngFmg[/video]
And finally, to me the last good event. Such a solid PPV Which obviously was orchestrated by the WWE, but it became a shoot on the past bullshit in the business and reflection of the greatness of ECW.. [video=youtube;L_xzLijve40]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_xzLijve40[/video]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEg1a4FGvTM Loudest pop I can remember. Sorry, im not real sure how to embed videos.
The Rock POP vs Stone Cold POP - YouTube Who got the louder pops in you guys opinions? Austin or Rocky?
Outside of Austin, I would have to say that my other two favorite gimmicks were biker Undertaker(for the first few months anyways), kind of got stale after a while, and The Rock.Of course, as a kid watching it I could not stand Vince and Triple H and all those guys, but looking back on it, they played a heel character perfectly. Them two could get a crowd riled up quicker than anybody else.
I like to pretend The Undertaker as a denim-wearing-tobacco-chewing-biker character never really happened.
I really just hated it from the beginning. The Real Undertaker was probably my favorite character along with Scott Hall when I was growing up, and as my interest started to fade in the early '00s, I think 'Taker's complete gimmick change may well have been the final nail in the coffin.
The Invasion angle was a lot more of it than Heel Austin. I still liked Austin, and he usually got some good reactions from the crowd, even considering he was a heel.
