Wrestling shows with the best product at any point in time?

What do you think, brother?



January of 85 and he claims to have the entire year. 85 worth watching or should I start in 86?

I'm not that familiar, but there's probably good stuff. I think the roster and everything is the same. Check it out and let me know if you dig it.

2002 and 2003 WWE has some great stuff worth checking out.

2002:
-Hogan/Rock had some classic stuff leading to Wrestlemania X-8 and seeing Hogan put over a heel Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar cleanly later in the year was great to watch.
-Brock's monster push to winning the world title and having great matches with The Rock at Summerslam and the HIAC match with Undertaker at No Mercy.
-The Billy and Chuck duo teasing being "gay" and the 'gay marriage' that resulted later in the year on Smackdown was entertaining.
-Great matches between RVD and Eddie Guerrero/Chris Benoit (separate feuds) over the IC Title. The RVD/Benoit match at Summerslam is especially great because it also has the backdrop of the Raw/Smackdown brand wars since Benoit won the belt and then jumped to SD, leading to RVD challenging him to an inter-promotional title match at the PPV in an attempt to reclaim the title and bring it back to Raw. The RVD/Eddie ladder match for the belt on Raw is epic, too.
-Booker T./Goldust pairing was funny.
-Return of Shawn Michaels and the awesome HBK/HHH match at Summerslam.
-The debut of Rey Mysterio and some great cruiserweight action within that division.

2003:
-Brock/Kurt Angle feud
-Brock superplexing Big Show and the ring collapsing as a result (an idea later reused at Vengeance 2011.)
-Goldberg/Evolution feud was pretty good.
-Kane's unmasking that led to his return as a monster and his feuds with RVD and Shane McMahon (the latter which was very awesome and made for some of Raw's best segments in 2003, IMO)
-Vince McMahon's Mr. McMahon character was also at his most entertaining this year IMO. His stuff with Hogan, Zack Gowen, Brock, Linda, Stephanie, Undertaker, etc. It would be too long to type out in full but Vince was out of control on SD this year and it made for some of the best segments throughout the entire year.

Both of these years get shit on by a lot of fans but it's mainly because it was the first couple of years to come out of the post-Attitude Era and a lot of people were simply butt hurt to see that era end (myself included at the time.) But both '02 and '03 are underrated and have tons of great stuff. They're two of my favorite years in WWE history.

I also missed from about 2002-2006. H.S. took over my life during that time. I've checked out every ppv during that time since, and I would suggest 2002-2003,

I know @Mystical George is all about early ECW, although i haven't seen it. Earlier in the year I watche mid-late WCW (pretty much up until Jericho was gone) and then moved over to WWF. I'm only to Sept 2000 but it's been awesome, i really do feel it was some of the best builds i can remember, mostly because it wasn't always about any titles outside of the big one. Someone could lose their IC title and get a US shot the next week, depending on who was holding it.

I stopped in HS probably after 01? And i can barely remember what i'm seeing now. Too much catching up to do, i have like a decade still to go.

Glad to see 2002-03 were suggested, that gives me something more to look forward to.

It's good we're in the age of bit torrents. Also, WWE.com has a veritable fuckton of matches for free on their site nowadays.
