I don’t know if I’d want to watch any PG era year.

Unless it’s 2012 or 2013, but it’s not listed.

I thought those would be too recent to game traction, I was going to stop at 09 but 11 had a lot of stuff people would wanna rewatch too. Personally I want anything 05 or earlier

I went with 94 mainly due to me having all those Downloads from WWE and WCW ready to give my thoughts right off the bat as I watch WCW Fall Brawl 1997 as I'm typing.

If this happens between 1 - 6pm EST I won't be able to join in cos that's really early in the morning for me, unfortunately.

It was between 97 and 2001 for me. I enjoy 97 because of the US VS. Canada feud, plus there's some cracking WCW action both on PPV and Nitro. 2001 has some of the best wrestling of the era from WWF, plus the whole Invasion angle. 2002 is interesting because of the Brand split and the Lesnar push. I voted 2001 this time.

2011 would be a chore for me until Money in the Bank. And even then it's an uneven rest of the year.

2012 is a much stronger year.

That said, I'd do 2011 over most of the post 2005 years.

2011 SmackDown is underrated af tbh, you were guaranteed a banger main event just about every week and even guys like Kane were doing some of their best in ring work which is wild

As someone that hated 2009-2010 WWE, I'd have to take your word for it, because I remember WWE mostly being more PG WWE until the Summer.

Angle wise yeah, it won't really be your cup of tea still but man they were just putting on fire matches after fire matches. Orton, Christian, Ziggler, Cody, Bryan, the talent was unreal. And you had stuff like Broken Cody, ADR's character when it was still fresh. Its an anomaly bc i don't think it should have been as good as it was at all

I did like Cody with the face mask. That was cool shit.

2012 is a much stronger year.

It still had the incredible R-Truth heel turn, the start of the Hall of Pain before that, and the start of Undashing Cody Rhodes.

I'm sure those moments are good, but most of the 1996-2004 years are just sooooooo goooood.
