The Iron Sheik was mostly absent through '87 because of the infamous road trip with Duggan.

Personally 1997 was a very special year and had some of the best storylines and angles in all of wrestling history, but so did 1987. Both great years in a very prosperous time in wrestling.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

This era had Mene Gene, Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura. It should be much closer in the poll imo

Probably two of my favorite eras

97 is my fav year

I have watched it probably a dozen times or more and it never gets old to me

Voted 87 but I have to say Bret Harts world vs US angle was probably the GOAT angle, or top 3 at least (the macho/hogan feud would be up there too). That 87 roster is just too damn good

I honestly think the best year in wrestling is Bret Hart returning at survivor series and then 1 year later getting screwed at survivor series

1987 should be dominating.

Gorilla and Jesse then Gorilla & Bobby on commentary is a tough duo to beat

Jim Ross might be better than Gorilla but I also thought Bobby Heenan was better than everyone.

It was a special year. The story lines had me as hooked as I was back in the 80s. So much happened in just a year it’s crazy

Bobby Heenan during the royal rumble was a masterclass.

Yeah I put Bret as #1 since he gave Austin the rub to get to the top, he also coined the DX name, had the most unique heel run, and then became the reason why the Vince character was created

WM 3 blows it out of the water
