Seems about right. I always considered 1999 to be vintage Russo.
His fingerprints all over that year. Especially from XV to Fully Loaded.
Exactly. No matches on Raw in the first hour and it was glorious. Just like 1999 Russo Raw.97 Pre-Russo had quality matches.

2000 was pretty glorious because of all that talent and Chris Kreski was a Russo prodigy so that's probably why Trips got them promos.

I'm honestly surprised we're opening with this match. Not bad at all thus far.
I wonder what we're ending with?

2000 was probably my favorite WWE year ever bc it still had fire angles but the matches were way better and dat fire tag division as well
Dang, was hoping KO won. But nice to see Kofi being booked strong as champion.

2000 > 98 > 99 if we're ranking the peak attitude era years
I'm kinda trolling because of the whole thing yesterday. I didn't even realize there was no matches in the first hour until Andrew mentioned it. That being said, I honestly could pop on a 1999 WWF show at any time and be thoroughly entertained. I love me some 1999.
my man
I'd swap 99 and 98 personally. 1999 angles are way cooler in 1999 and it has peak Russo interwoven storytelling.
Fully Loaded 1999 is just a fucking blast. 2000 I only put over 1999 because that roster is insane.
Mella needs to pin Truth already.
The tag team division and the mid card depth was just insane. There'll never be another one like it.
I also think 2001 gets slept on because WWE botched the invasion but the matches and angles were still GOAT.
WWE also still promoted WWF Attitude until 2002 when it changed to Get the F Out.
