WWF - 1987 vs 1997

[ICHEERTHEBULL]

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

I was a big fan from the hart foundation so would always back Bret so am biased but that heel turn was perfectly done

 

[Sweater of AV]

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.

I fucking love Gorilla, Jesse and Heenan. Ross is pretty good but to be honest I didn't really watch much after around 1990. I'm sure '97 was a great year as well.

Where is the four horsemen, or sting or the Steiners brothers? What about the the free birds or von Erich’s . This is some casual bullshit.

Bret was the first I heard say shit live on air, the first to put his hands on Vince, he was the conductor to the attitude era

97 was the rise of Austin
Bret/HBK feud
Bret/Austin feud
Kane debut
Goldberg debut in WCW
DDP becoming fan fav
Ken Shamrock debut
Vince character debut


A lot happened

Ok, then if this is just a WWF poll, I am go with 87. 97 class was overshadowed by WCW for me.

87 had Million Dollar Man and Honkey Tonk Man. Two of the greatest Heels ever.

Another reason to vote 87 in general though...Sting wasn't pretending to be The Crow.

Two of the most overrated years in wrestling history.

Just kidding. The 80s were before my time, so I don't have a strong attachment to that era. As an Attitude Era fan, 1997 is my pick by default. 1998 is my favorite year, though, the year of Stone Cold.

Before Big Poppa Pump too. The Steiners and String vs the 4 horsemen was awesome..
