General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

[Vampire Quinn]

I watched wrestling since I was born [1991] Up until 2019... I'd like to get back into watching it again... But I have no idea what's going on. I did see the Very First Episode of AEW when it first started.

Howdy VQ. How's life

Its going well by far... Just been very tired lately from working the night shifts. I hv Night/closing shifts again the next 2 weeks. If I ever get bored with it, My Assitant Manager/scheduler would let me change to days if I ever wanted to.

Feel free to vote for whoever you want on the polls (it does NOT need to be only 1 name; seriously there's a lot of other options on the polls)

Fans are coming back to WWE on the July 16 SmackDown, so that's probably a good time to start. Don't worry about not knowing what's going on, they recap EVERYTHING all the time

Skybox - are you upset with Chimp?

 

[Smart Marx]

Because it's extremely important for the Attitude Era.

I actually fully believe this feud and time period is the start of the Attitude Era. Vince may not name it until a month after Montreal, Bret’s heel turn, exposing Vince as the owner, Austin becoming the face of the company and finally Raw being named Raw Is War feels like all the true pieces you needed to start the Attitude Era.

All take place in March of 1997. Right when they hit record low ratings for the time and chose to go in a new more attitude based direction and the rest is history.

 

[Smart Marx]

I could also argue June of 1996 because Austin 3:16 is born and the nWo is formed that lights the fire in WWE.

 

[Smart Marx]

Definitely watch that Austin and Bret series from 96-97.
