Definitely missed out The Undertaker or Kane. They defined 90's wrestling's supernatural ridiculousness and over the top gimmicks. I think Sting's gimmick as a Vigilante and undertaker's dead man defined the era that people beleived in Kayfabe and anything is possible in wrestling
tbh. I think Savage should've been replaced with Taker. Yeah, Savage was still big in the 90's... but did he really put his mark on them? For Taker it was his first decade of destruction. And UW should've been replaced with Mick Foley.
@@Hialeahsown you can say the same about Austin & the rock who had less time in the 90s as superstars & played a part in the 2000s. Undertaker should’ve definitely been on this list
@@MR.__G his last match was in 2003 and Rock was in and out like Cena is today would u consider Cena a key part of current wwe product? he isnt even mention on commentary the rocks golden years was the 90’s prime attitude era after that he was too in and out Taker still had so much more to give and gave so much more American Badass which some didnt like but i actually enjoyed would go on to have match of the year 3 times in 2009 2010 and 2012 i cant include someone on a 90’s list that went on to that kinda in ring success after the 90’s.
@@Hialeahsown I disagree. Undertaker had such a great impact from day 1. 90s taker was in his in ring prime. 3 of his greatest feuds came in the 90s, mankind (which you can argue was his best rivalry) hbk & Kane.. this isn’t even mentioning his great work with Bret. Hell in the cell, inferno, buried alive, casket match & boiler room were all first time matches in the 90s & were memorable. 96-98 was an amazing taker. However I do agree he went off to have more great years after the 90s. But I do feel it’s possible to defined more than one era. Hogan is on this list & he’s been popular before the 90s
Totally agree. I think their debuts may have been a bit late for inclusion on this list tho. Especially hardyz and the brood, they debuted in what, 98 I believe.
Bret Hart is truly a 90s icon, almost everyone on this list had careers into the 00s and beyond but Bret didn't go past 2000....and he was on the Simpsons during its golden era lol
Well that was more because he didn't have a choice. You can tell Bret still wanted to Wrestle in the 2000's, but one kick from Goldberg later put that to rest
I really think Kevin Nash should’ve been on the list, he lead the new gen for a year then went to start the NWO, he had a way bigger impact than warrior or savage on the decade
In a way he did because he was involved in big storylines and was always on top. But Nash was never as over as Warrior at his peak. Warrior was the guy in the early 90's even though his run was considerably short. Nash wasn't more over than anyone else on the list either (expected for Raven of course). Nash would barley make a top 15 list taking into account the Undertaker, Mick Foley and Kane.
Any member of the kliq belongs on this list. Michaels, hunter, hall, nash, and waltman all managed to stay pretty popular for most of the decade, though not necessarily always by virtue of their actual talent.
Goldberg is easily one of the most interesting shoot stories in pro wrestling history. This former football player comes in and becomes WCW's one true homegrown superstar, seeing as Sting didn't start in WCW. Has such a great character and charisma. So extremely over. The Halloween Havoc replay garners Nitro it's last victory. Breaks not just monday night war records but TV history records. So they beat him 2 months later and he never gets the world title ever again, because the politics have gotten to such a state.
It's interesting you mention that legendary match because DDP is actually a great example of a homegrown WCW superstar world champ. He had been a manager before WCW but not a wrestler, he learned to do that at the WCW Power Plant at the age of 35 - muuuch later than most start their training.
Corporate Rock with those Sideburns, Stone Cold, HBK and Taker are the four names that immediately comes to mind when I think about 90's wrestling. I would say Triple H, but his best run was during the 2000's
Really??? I thought the 90’s nailed movies. Don’t get me wrong the 80s is a close second but the 90s had some Bangerz. But then again that was my era: We all have a little biased in us

No Mick Foley either. But that chump Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage (who was relevant only in the 80's) made the list. Nonsense. Even Kevin Nash would have been better than those two

How can you not agree with Bret Hart? Montreal screw job was literally the biggest thing in wrestling history.. He was also the main man in WWF for so long throughout the 90s..
I'm disappointed you left Undertaker off the list, the guy was always a cornerstone of the WWF since his debut in 1990, and for how much the character grew and changed in those first 10 years
I'm sure it would've been tough to keep this list down to just 10 but these guys at least deserved honorable mentions: - Undertaker - Kane - Triple H - Chris Jericho - Mick Foley - Kevin Nash
Depends on what you grew up on. it’s very easy to say Steve Austin or Bill Goldberg, but there were a LOT of ECW shirts at my secondary school on non uniform day (still have my yellow Franchise shirt somewhere packed away)
How is the undertaker not on this list, I guy in the ministry of darkness defined the 90s goth movement and with the brood element incorporated the lost boys and interview with the vampire type things which was huge back then. Plus taker as a wrestler was one of the icons of the new generation and the attitude era
I can see the argument for not including him, he's an icon of WWF but was rarely actually that over. Jericho got heat for correctly pointing out he was a boring promo in 99'.
Agreed.... and tbh. Randy Savage over Mick Foley. Sure, Savage was still big in the 90's... but did he define Wrestling in the 90's? Compared to Mick's work for example?
Vince wanting to phase a Macho Man and co. that could still go out is laughable these days, with all the guys well past their expiration dates he keeps around.
Undertaker made his WWF debut a Survivor Series 1990 so was prominent throughout the entire decade. Warrior was only around for a couple of years or so with a couple of short term returns. The Rock made his debut in 1996 and even Stone Cold only became a main eventer from '96 onwards (4 years each). Goldberg (2 years on top). Also 'Taker was a far bigger star than Raven. How's he not even made the top 10?
Nash had the longest WWE title reign of the 90s. That alone should've got him a spot plus I think Luger should be on there too. 90s were his peak especially winning the WCW title from Hogan in97.
I somehow always end up in a debate with someone who thinks the 90s was all about Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock. They usually ignore Shawn Micheals, Brett Hart, Rick Flair, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley (with his different alter egos), Undertaker, Kane, MachoMan, Scott Hall (Razor Ramon), Dustin Rhodes (Gold Dust), Hulk Hollywood Hogan, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, Brian Pillman, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Dean Melenko, Sid Vicious, Ken Shamrock, Scott Steiner, Goldberg, Roddy Piper. Just to name a few. Some of these guys were top 80s wrestling talents that were able to reinvent themselves and stayed on top. Or were new names in the United States and able to get over. Steve Austin wouldn’t be where he was without the double turn with Bret Hart and also Telegraph famous promo against Jake the Snake Roberts. The Rock might have failed without being part of Ron “Farooq” Simmons Nation of Dominion stable and giving his promo against the fans and then his fued with Triple H. Ken Shamrock introduced the “Tap Out” into wrestling where as it wasn’t apart of wrestling before. Submissions were to knock another wrestler out where the referee would do the raise the guys hand three times to see if he was out. Usually the wrestlers hand would fall twice and almost fall the third time but then the wrestler would make his comeback on the third hand check. WWE(F) wrestlers were treated like top talent by the end of the attitude era to rub it in WCW’s face and get the unused and abused talent to jump ship. Even most kid carders were shown as top guys during shows compared to what they are treated like today. There were more belts at the time. Cruiser, USA, European, HardCore, Women’s (turned into Diva), InterContinental, Tag, WWF(E) Universal Championship, the MillionDollar Belt, (eventually l) the Heavyweight Belt, which turned into the Undisputed Champion when Chris Jericho won both Heavyweight and WWE Universal Championship Belts, and light heavyweight belt (I may be missing one or two). The tag team division was more fun and entertaining and had better tag teams. The women’s division is probably better today as far as having better female wrestlers. But then it was a mix of female wrestlers and divas until the 2000s when it went to straight diva for a while. Midcarders were treated like royalty and were almost always fun to watch. The Godfather and his Ho Train always gave me a laugh. Today his theme music has no references to the “Ho Train” and no gorgeous scantily dress women come out with him if he makes an appearance (which sucks). Even DX can’t tell the crowd to “Suck it” relying on audience participation and can’t even do the crotch chop. The viewership and audience was at an all time high then and hasn’t gone back to those levels. Most people I have debates with were just kids back then and the targeted audience at that time was for a much older audience instead of today. They sell more merchandise today because the targeted audience is kids in diapers today and parents buy crap for them. WWE states they go PG for the sponsors. But if wrestling was as white hot today as it was back then they would have no problem getting sponsees because they’d be begging to be apart of wrestling again.
"Eye-For-An-Eye" Match is on air at the WWE's “The Horror Show at Extreme Rules”. This match is really extremely dangerous for Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins. WWE has confirmed that someone has to pull out the other person's eyeball with their hand to score the victory! 👀
I know you guys don't cover much Lucha Libre, but not including Konnan, Vampiro or Perro Aguayo, some of the biggest draws of the decade and guys who had crossover success in television and media throughout the decade, is pretty wild.
Thing is, with lists like this you can't get everyone in. I just made a list that didn't even have Macho Man or Sting in it, for example. This is one of those lists that needs a lot of honorable mentions I guess.
Adam You son of a gun ya did it again! Huge ups for the era I was born,1991! God what a phenomenal era :) and Randal Randal Sav Randal Sav Randal Randal Sav!!!!
The Rock, Stone Cold, Sting, Goldberg, The NWO, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Owen Hart who never made it out of the 99s RIP, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, The Sandman, Raven, Sabu, The New Age Outlaws, D-X, Kane, Undertaker, Mr. McMahon, Ken Shamrock. Just to name a few
You got to take Michaels and Hart off the list. Wrestling barely survived them being the main event. Mankind and Undertaker can be added to the list. The Rock should be number 2.
You forgot Triple H, he started becoming a main event star in the late 90s, Undertaker, Kane, Diesel, Yokozuna and Razor Ramon were quite good in the 90s too
My list 10. The Rock 9. Diamond Dallas Page 8. The Undertaker 7. Macho Man Randy Savage 6. Diesel/Kevin Nash 5. Sting 4. Raven 3. Shawn Michaels 2. Bret Hart 1. Stone Cold Steve Austin
I liked Hunter since his time in WCW, and he founded DX he get my favorite until now. The best time for me in wrestling was everything around him, Stone Cold and the Rock. Also i liked the amount on stables. Sadly Vince doesn’t seem to like stables any more.
I was in that's red hot georgia dome that july in 1998 when goldberg beat 1st Scott hall and then evil Hollywood Hogan and held up gold in each hand. The most incredible thing a 13 yr old me could've imagined
In what world did Raven defined wrestling in the 1990s more than the Undertaker. The undertaker was THE monster of the WWF in the 1990s. So much that they had to create entirely new characters just to be his foil i.e Mankind and Kane. Him and Bret were the only remnants of the Golden Era when the old guard left (hbk wasnt a main event star until 1995), and once Bret left it was only Taker, that was feuding with Hogan, Warrior, Savage, and Piper, while still being able to go toe to toe with John Cena, Batista, Edge, and CM Punk. The Undertaker was undoubtedly a man who defined wrestling in the 90s
Hulk Hogan...ok, could have at least went with Hollywood Hogan. But Macho Man? Lots of potential choices for this list, not sure why Hogan and Savage, two guys that are more associated with the 80's needed to be included. Even Ultimate Warrior was kind of both 80's and 90's.
Bret wasn't really a heel, more of a tweener. He may have been hated in the USA but he was beloved outside the USA, all while using the same character/gimmick.
I agree with the list but I would have Swapped Bret and Austin. Bret screams the 90s and was the Hogan/Cena of the 90s. His progression from 90 to 2000 is a cool story. I like Austin too but he didn’t really take of completely til 98. He started getting big in 96 and 97 but 98 is where things really went for him. Bret was Champ for damn near the entire decade. Tag champ 90/91, Intercontinental Champ 91/92, WWF Champ 92/93/94/95/96/97, King of the Ring 93, Royal Rumble Winner 94, Wcw Tag Champ/US Champ, and World Heavyweight Champ for Wcw. They guy was everywhere and did everything. I wish I could transfer that Hitman into todays wrestling to bring back good storytelling, psychology, and technical wrestling.
I did a list off the top of my head (no real order tbh) 1. Steve Austin 2. Bret Hart 3. Hulk Hogan 4. Shawn Michaels 5. Ric Flair 6. The Undertaker 7. The Rock 8. Goldberg 9. Mankind 10. Sting Honorable Mentions to Kevin Nash/Diesel Macho Man Randy Savage Ultimate Warrior
Great video. I'm not one of those snooty "why didn't you put him in there" or "he should be here instead of here", but just to weigh in for fun, id like to say that Rock and Hogan should be switched. Hogan, even for waning popularity and stale gimmick in the early 90s, was absolutely the top dog. And if you're gonna give Rock a good spot when he only really blasted off in the last 3 years of the decade, you really gotta consider Hogan. Really, even though Stone Cold is my favorite wrestler, nobody can deny that NWO Hogan is PURELY a thing of the 90s. You can see the cover of stuff like WCW Vs NWO Revenge clearly in your head. NWO itself is pure 90s lore. With it at the forefront, WCW dominated for awhile. But still great list and video, I'm not a nay sayer haha

My list in no order The Rock ,stone cold, undertaker, Shawn Michael's, mick Foley, Sting, NWO, Goldberg , Randy Savage and Bret Hart
For me Vince , Rock & Austin who defined wrestling of 90's ....
The late 90s
Adam: "Boss-tormenting"
Me: More like "boss-stunning" via his signature Stunner
I somehow always end up in a debate with someone who thinks the 90s was all about Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock. They usually ignore Shawn Micheals, Brett Hart, Rick Flair, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley (with his different alter egos), Undertaker, Kane, MachoMan, Scott Hall (Razor Ramon), Dustin Rhodes (Gold Dust), Hulk Hollywood Hogan, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, Brian Pillman, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Dean Melenko, Sid Vicious, Ken Shamrock, Scott Steiner, Goldberg, Roddy Piper. Just to name a few. Some of these guys were top 80s wrestling talents that were able to reinvent themselves and stayed on top. Or were new names in the United States and able to get over. Steve Austin wouldn’t be where he was without the double turn with Bret Hart and also Telegraph famous promo against Jake the Snake Roberts. The Rock might have failed without being part of Ron “Farooq” Simmons Nation of Dominion stable and giving his promo against the fans and then his fued with Triple H. Ken Shamrock introduced the “Tap Out” into wrestling where as it wasn’t apart of wrestling before. Submissions were to knock another wrestler out where the referee would do the raise the guys hand three times to see if he was out. Usually the wrestlers hand would fall twice and almost fall the third time but then the wrestler would make his comeback on the third hand check. WWE(F) wrestlers were treated like top talent by the end of the attitude era to rub it in WCW’s face and get the unused and abused talent to jump ship. Even most kid carders were shown as top guys during shows compared to what they are treated like today. There were more belts at the time. Cruiser, USA, European, HardCore, Women’s (turned into Diva), InterContinental, Tag, WWF(E) Universal Championship, the MillionDollar Belt, (eventually l) the Heavyweight Belt, which turned into the Undisputed Champion when Chris Jericho won both Heavyweight and WWE Universal Championship Belts, and light heavyweight belt (I may be missing one or two). The tag team division was more fun and entertaining and had better tag teams. The women’s division is probably better today as far as having better female wrestlers. But then it was a mix of female wrestlers and divas until the 2000s when it went to straight diva for a while. Midcarders were treated like royalty and were almost always fun to watch. The Godfather and his Ho Train always gave me a laugh. Today his theme music has no references to the “Ho Train” and no gorgeous scantily dress women come out with him if he makes an appearance (which sucks). Even DX can’t tell the crowd to “Suck it” relying on audience participation and can’t even do the crotch chop. The viewership and audience was at an all time high then and hasn’t gone back to those levels. Most people I have debates with were just kids back then and the targeted audience at that time was for a much older audience instead of today. They sell more merchandise today because the targeted audience is kids in diapers today and parents buy crap for them. WWE states they go PG for the sponsors. But if wrestling was as white hot today as it was back then they would have no problem getting sponsees because they’d be begging to be apart of wrestling again.
Pacciti is back! In Pog form!
Close the list, you're letting the heat out
"Eye-For-An-Eye" Match is on air at the WWE's “The Horror Show at Extreme Rules”. This match is really extremely dangerous for Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins. WWE has confirmed that someone has to pull out the other person's eyeball with their hand to score the victory! 👀
You need to do this all over and make it a top 20. Brah you're missing Taker, Mick Foley, Goldust, Chyna, KANE, how the Hell you forgot about Kane.
Good call on Raven. I always associated Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior more with the 80s. I'd have picked DDP and Mick Foley over these two
Tomorrow is the Anniversary of the plane ride from hell, will we see anything based on that?
No
What is the plane ride from hell?
@@godsfighter1367 One of the best wrestling stories
I know you guys don't cover much Lucha Libre, but not including Konnan, Vampiro or Perro Aguayo, some of the biggest draws of the decade and guys who had crossover success in television and media throughout the decade, is pretty wild.
I love how Bret Hart, billed at 6ft and 235lbs is considered a 'smaller guy'.
Where's Taker? This list is CAPP
they really put raven, over taker
Thing is, with lists like this you can't get everyone in. I just made a list that didn't even have Macho Man or Sting in it, for example. This is one of those lists that needs a lot of honorable mentions I guess.
@@IamTheStormThatIsApproaching1 Imho: Warrior and Savage Out, Taker and Foley in.
Adam You son of a gun ya did it again! Huge ups for the era I was born,1991! God what a phenomenal era :) and Randal Randal Sav Randal Sav Randal Randal Sav!!!!
The Rock, Stone Cold, Sting, Goldberg, The NWO, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Owen Hart who never made it out of the 99s RIP, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, The Sandman, Raven, Sabu, The New Age Outlaws, D-X, Kane, Undertaker, Mr. McMahon, Ken Shamrock. Just to name a few
Bret Hart, The Rock, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Kane, Undertaker, Goldberg, Sting...
What a Generation...
When talking about Sting apparently Pacitti is acting like he works for WWE and pretending that TNA didn’t exist.
Not to mention he now works for a little pissant company
TNA wasn’t a thing in the 90’s which is what the video was about
Check out that look on Luger's mug when they're raising Brett on their shoulders with the WWE Title. Nuff said.
The Rock.. not in the top 4 atleast 😳. But i guess he did really take off into iconic status in those early 2000’s
You got to take Michaels and Hart off the list. Wrestling barely survived them being the main event. Mankind and Undertaker can be added to the list. The Rock should be number 2.
pls do 80s
I find your lack of Mick Foley disturbing.
Do a list for top ten tv feuds
Was kinda hoping they mention how big Konnan was in Mexico in the 90s
This video should have been top 30 wrestlers who defined the 90s lol more and more names keep coming up
ECW WCW WWF was the 90s babyyyyy
Just for that Adam, tonight you get to go one on one with The Undertaker!
My list (no order):
1. Steve Austin
2. Bret Hart
3. Shawn Michaels
4. Undertaker
5. Hulk Hogan
6. Mick Foley
7. The Rock
8. Sting
9.Goldberg
10. Raven
You forgot Triple H, he started becoming a main event star in the late 90s, Undertaker, Kane, Diesel, Yokozuna and Razor Ramon were quite good in the 90s too
My list
10. The Rock
9. Diamond Dallas Page
8. The Undertaker
7. Macho Man Randy Savage
6. Diesel/Kevin Nash
5. Sting
4. Raven
3. Shawn Michaels
2. Bret Hart
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin
I liked Hunter since his time in WCW, and he founded DX he get my favorite until now.
The best time for me in wrestling was everything around him, Stone Cold and the Rock.
Also i liked the amount on stables. Sadly Vince doesn’t seem to like stables any more.
I was in that's red hot georgia dome that july in 1998 when goldberg beat 1st Scott hall and then evil Hollywood Hogan and held up gold in each hand. The most incredible thing a 13 yr old me could've imagined
In what world did Raven defined wrestling in the 1990s more than the Undertaker. The undertaker was THE monster of the WWF in the 1990s. So much that they had to create entirely new characters just to be his foil i.e Mankind and Kane. Him and Bret were the only remnants of the Golden Era when the old guard left (hbk wasnt a main event star until 1995), and once Bret left it was only Taker, that was feuding with Hogan, Warrior, Savage, and Piper, while still being able to go toe to toe with John Cena, Batista, Edge, and CM Punk. The Undertaker was undoubtedly a man who defined wrestling in the 90s
10 really isn’t enough. Feels like so many names are missing but I can’t say who id take out
it should have been 9 wrestlers who defined 90s we all knew number1
Hulk Hogan...ok, could have at least went with Hollywood Hogan. But Macho Man? Lots of potential choices for this list, not sure why Hogan and Savage, two guys that are more associated with the 80's needed to be included. Even Ultimate Warrior was kind of both 80's and 90's.
Undertaker and triple H is missing
Mick Foley?
Undertaker?
Stone Cold #1 with a bullet, can I get a hell yeah! And if you think the 90s were all spandex tights and Nirvana concerts, you weren't there.
good video
Bret wasn't really a heel, more of a tweener. He may have been hated in the USA but he was beloved outside the USA, all while using the same character/gimmick.
Guarantees: Death , taxes, Adam pacitti talking about everyone’s favourite sexy boy
Raven over the Undertaker? The ultimate warrior too?
What have you guys been smoking?
Don't forget Mick Foley.
I agree with the list but I would have Swapped Bret and Austin. Bret screams the 90s and was the Hogan/Cena of the 90s. His progression from 90 to 2000 is a cool story. I like Austin too but he didn’t really take of completely til 98. He started getting big in 96 and 97 but 98 is where things really went for him. Bret was Champ for damn near the entire decade. Tag champ 90/91, Intercontinental Champ 91/92, WWF Champ 92/93/94/95/96/97, King of the Ring 93, Royal Rumble Winner 94, Wcw Tag Champ/US Champ, and World Heavyweight Champ for Wcw. They guy was everywhere and did everything. I wish I could transfer that Hitman into todays wrestling to bring back good storytelling, psychology, and technical wrestling.
I’m happy as hell that Raven made the list.
Ravens storyline with the seven deadly sins was a good idea i liked it
I did a list off the top of my head (no real order tbh)
1. Steve Austin
2. Bret Hart
3. Hulk Hogan
4. Shawn Michaels
5. Ric Flair
6. The Undertaker
7. The Rock
8. Goldberg
9. Mankind
10. Sting
Honorable Mentions to
Kevin Nash/Diesel
Macho Man Randy Savage
Ultimate Warrior
DDP and Undertaker deserve mention although it's hard to kick anyone off the list you have
Kick raven off he didn't do a damn thing
Nash, Hall, Undertaker, Ric Flair... I liked the list from 7-1, but the first three would have been better served with 3 of these guys.
Great video. I'm not one of those snooty "why didn't you put him in there" or "he should be here instead of here", but just to weigh in for fun, id like to say that Rock and Hogan should be switched. Hogan, even for waning popularity and stale gimmick in the early 90s, was absolutely the top dog. And if you're gonna give Rock a good spot when he only really blasted off in the last 3 years of the decade, you really gotta consider Hogan. Really, even though Stone Cold is my favorite wrestler, nobody can deny that NWO Hogan is PURELY a thing of the 90s. You can see the cover of stuff like WCW Vs NWO Revenge clearly in your head. NWO itself is pure 90s lore. With it at the forefront, WCW dominated for awhile. But still great list and video, I'm not a nay sayer haha
Undertaker, kane, nwo, dx, the rock, mick foley and Steve Austin, also flair, and randy savage, also goldberg also the harts
i think hulk hogan,sting,goldberg,undertaker,bret hart,shawn micheals ,stone cold
The bulldog vs bret hart was awesome
