[Butters]

[TOP GUY TIME]

My eras are

 

[Chris]

"In the United States, in the First Golden Age of professional wrestling in the 1940s–1950s, Gorgeous George gained mainstream popularity, followed in the Second Golden Age in the 1980s–1990s by the likes of Hulk Hogan, André the Giant, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Ric Flair, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Koko B. Ware, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock and many more. "

 

[Chris]

Very broad apparently

 

[Butters]

can't have two golden ages, fuck that

 

[TOP GUY TIME]

The Pioneer Era {Anytime before 1948} > The NWA Era {1948-1963} > The Dawn Era {1964-1982} > The Golden Era {1982-1996} > Attitude Era {1996-2002} > Ruthless Agression Era {2002-2010}

 

[Chris]

Not a good look yeah

 

[Butters]

whats after 2010?

 

[TOP GUY TIME]

PG Era {2010-2015} > Modern Era {2016-Now}

 

[Chris]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_in_the_United_States Other than that paragraph I think this wiki's headings feel accurate to me, no golden era at all in them lol

 

[Chris]

Carnival days, Television era, wrestling boom era, then the modern era starting in 2002-present

 

[Chris]

Wrestling Boom era I'd probably rename PPV era and start at '85 with Mania

 

[Chris]

Could make a case with streaming era being a thing from 2014-present, going by the mediums watched on makes the most sense to me
