@PED GSP The Dalmatian Station was a name I gave a finishing move from s show about a guy and his dog. Joe was lame and deserved a chair shot to the head
To me, I always thought the beginning of the Attitude Era was in February 1997, on the first Raw deemed "Raw is War". The show had a new look, and edgier feel (especially with Bret Hart cutting a promo filled with him using the term "bullshit" heavily).
When you look back at RAW in '97 it's pretty clear the Attitude Era was already well established. WM14 when Austin won the belt is WAAAAAAY too late as a starting point!
Imagine if Cultaholic was around in the attitude era. Mr The Jobber on Raw Graded. Mr Pacitti on SmackDown graded. Mr Driver on Heat Graded. Ross on the WTF Moments. The scenes if Cultaholic in the attitude era would of been mad.
Started with "Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your a**" and ended at WM17 with the heel turn. After was Invasion which was the beginning of the brand split being phased in.
Man the Invasion angle could have carried so well after the attitude era but Vince fucking dropped the ball, then the ball fell down the gutter, reached the 9th level of hell and deflated.
The end of the Attitude Era was when The Rock left for Hollywood (the first time), and Stone Cold left because he did not want to lay down for Brock Lesner on none ppv TV. Not having the two biggest stars from the Attitude era was when they had to push new stars (Lesner, Cena, Orton), and the end of that Era.
@@stretch273 For most part the Eras are WWE/F changing to the values, and the interest of the time it takes place in. Most long running shows are like this. The only other show that has lasted as long I can think of is SNL, and the comedy on SNL has changed to match the time it is in just like the WWE/F Eras. 90's SNL is as different from 70s SNL as it is from today's SNL.
The start of the attitude era is either Bret's tirade on the Raw before WM13 or the double turn in the Bret vs Austin match. The attitude era didn't end with WM17, it ended with the brand split in 2002. A whole year later.
Things that really killed the Attitude Era 1. Change from WWF to WWE 2. First Brand Split 3. Stone Cold walking out on WWE June 2002 4. The Rock losing to Brock Summer Slam 2002 before getting booed out of the arena then leaving for a movie.September 2002 was the first time neither Austin or Rock were active since before 1996 5. Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton
I think WrestleMania 13 was like the Ending of New Generation an the beginning of Attitude era an I believe WrestleMania 17 was the end of Attitude era
The Pillman-Austin gun scenario is one of the most attitude moments in WWF/E ever. I remember as a 7 year old kid watching it with my dad and being sure we were about to witness a live murder 😂🤣😂
@rich hancox. Nope, the Attitude Era started at Badd Blood 97 with the debut of Kane and ended at Insurrextion 2002 when the then WWF changed their name to WWE and the Infamous "Plane ride from Hell" happened.
@@nu-metalfan2654 I've always said the Attitude Era began at the KOTR w/ Austin saying "Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass" and then ending in May 2002 because after that the WWF was changed to WWE, and with it, the Ruthless Aggression Era began almost immediately.
Summerslam Bret Hart vs Undertaker with Shawn Michaels as Referee seems like the most logical point to signal the beginning of the Attitude era. Where the end is, I would have to say Wrestlemania 17 as well. It was an amazing time and when the acquisition came of WCW and ECW, things were never the same again.
I believe it started with Austins King of the Ring win because that's when things started to go more hardcore and more, i guess, attitude, the ending I actually believe didn't happen at X-7 but instead after the invasion, I'd say once they were forced to change to WWE from WWF that's when the attitude era in my opinion ended and the ruthless aggression era started
The attitude era is overrated. It is great, but people complain about how Raw barley has any wrestling today when in the attitude era, there would barely be any wrestling at all. And if there was any wrestling (on Raw), 9/10 times it was shit. Great stories, bad matches. At least Ruthless Agression era had a great mix of the slightly toned down gritty stories but it got backed up with great matches. I love the attitude era, but people make it seem like this untouchable force and that nothing will be good until a group of people in some office in L.A. think a TV 14 rating is appropriate.
Agreed. It's treated as this Christ-Like Era, when really, the wrestling was really bad, but some of the most creative stories were told during that time. It's the era I grew up with, but I admit, the wrestling in the Ruthless Aggression Era was much better. Kurt Angle came along and made the standard higher.
what makes the attitude era godly for me is the memorable personalities. every mid carder was cool ( at least in the later years), tag team stables were awesome, ppvs felt must see. the best part of the era (for me at least) are the n64 and playstaton games. No mercy, smackdown 2. i think the reason people view the era as the best is because of its stars like kane, undertaker, mankind, austin, rock, kurt angle, etc. and it all culminated in 1999-2000. the way it peaked with its overall popularity in pop culture and mainstream conversations was undoubtedly unique and its entirely due to being damn good tv.
Wrestlemania X7 was without a shadow of a doubt one of the best wrestling events of all time. Between raven kane and big show tearing each other apart, mrs McMahon kicking vince in the balls, edge super spearing jeff hardy, triple h and undertaker doing their thing, and stone cold and rock doing their thing, not to mention the sick theme song by limp bizkit, it's hard to top that wrestlemania
Some people say the Attitude Era started when Austin won King of the Ring and delivered the Austin 3:16 speech, but that was in 96! I don't think it would've started that early
On the WWE Network in the Raw replay section it states that the Attitude Era started on December 15, 1997 Raw (Vince McMahon speech to the WWF audience) and the end of the Attitude Era ended on March 26, 2001 Raw (WWF buys WCW and go home show for WrestleMania X-Seven) I personally say WrestleMania X-SEVEN was the end and I would personally say December 15, 1997 Raw started it.
Some people would say the Attutude Era Began when Bret Hart shoved down Vince McMahon after a cage match on Raw, and when Bret said "Frustrated,isn't the God Damn Word for It,This is Bullshit!!" And proceeded to Cuss Out VKM ,and cuss Him and The Audience Out
I remember the RAW episode where Pillman pulled out the gun as a kid I was not interested. I think I lost interest on Brian after that. But after he passed away and I got older I liked his work.
Monday Nights on TSN in Canada-then they would replay it again right afterwards often The WWF would tune in themselves to see how the show went off, good times.
Attitude Era started with Wrestlemania 13 and the Austin-Bret double turn (with Ken Shamrock as special ref). It has to predate Montreal and Mr. McMahon because D-X formed that summer. Arguably all the Hart Foundation vs USA stuff is the previous generation's reactionary response to the Attitude Era sleaze.
All of the problems with WWE's current product can be traced back to the Attitude Era: Nonsensical storylines, overuse of gimmick matches, Shane McMahon...
By wm 14 it was about to go full swing. For me it started as far back as Austin winning the king of the ring and the screw job but was building even before that with Austin and Bret harts feud
Attitude era started for me when raw turned into raw is war and ended when it went back . Cultaholic and watch culture are The only people I’ve heard say the end was wmx7
I think it Started around August 97 to December 97 and i personally think it ended at Wrestlemania 17 because afterwards ratings started going down an it was also pre ruthless aggression era
Didn't Vinnie Mac walk down to the ring and announce the official end of the Attitude Era and introduce the Ruthless Aggression Era and John Cena as the new face of the company? Or did I dream that happened? I stopped watching WWE very soon after that.
For me it started around the time The New Age Outlaws debuted, HHH created the new DX, The LOD became the LOD 2000, Crush created the DOA and the Ringmaster became Stone Cold. (Probably years apart 😂 but just my earliest memories of noticing WWF becoming cool and more adult. And ended when WCW and ECW went out of business.
When DX came on the air cursing with profanity could be considered the start sometimes in 97 or when the ropes turned red. The Ropes turning red was an event that defined the era?
I remember back in 98-99 my pops was watching nitro on the bigger tv and I’m watching raw on the smaller tv right next to each other in the living room.. good times
@A S. nope. The Attitude Era started at Badd Blood, October 5th 1997. If you look at the WWF's product between June 1996 and October 1997, you will see that WWF at the time was still in their New Generation Era. I mean even after King of the Ring 96, The Rock was still white meat babyface Rocky Maivia at the time and Triple H was still the rich aristocrat Hunter Hurst Helmsley. It was in February/March 1997 when Raw became Raw is War, but if you look at the product it was still New Generation. The New Gen Era ended at Badd Blood 97 when Attitude began with the debut of Kane and the very first Hell in a Cell.
IMO Attitude era started when Stone Cold cut his "Austin 3:16" phrase. And If I remember correctly, when Austin was interviewed by Larry King(?) Austin agreed it was this moment that truly begun the Attitude Era.
The look on Doc Hendrix's face after Austin gave his 3:16 line said it all. That was the look of sheer and profound fear that Steve's attitude just got him fired or suspended and Vince was backstage loosing his fucking mind, "Why is that SOB Austin breaking kayfabe?!? Who told him to shoot on Roberts like that?!? What the hell is the matter with him?!? Why isn't Doc cutting that sonofabitch's mic?!?" Once cooler heads prevailed and they analyzed the reaction, they knew they had something special ... RISKY ... but special nonetheless ...
not sure when it ended but i believe it began in kotr '96 & batb '96 in wcw. so stone cold steve austin & the nwo started that ball rolling. i actually call that era wcw's golden era.

Monday Nights on TSN in Canada-then they would replay it again right afterwards often The WWF would tune in themselves to see how the show went off, good times.
Where it started came down to 2 events with austin. The first Austin 3:16 and the Austin vs Bret Hart match.
The end of the attitude era also seems disputed, just based on conversations that Ive seen
When Blue's Clue's Steve won the European title... I was there. It got a road warrior pop I tell you.
The Attitude Era began "with a loaded gun" at the 2:50 mark. Change my mind.
Attitude Era started on March 10, 1997 when "RAW is WAR" debuted...it meant that the entire company (not just a few stars) were moving that direction
To me, the Attitude Era ends at Survivor Series 2001
@David James What about Austin v. Triple H?
The Montrael Screwjob to the end of the Invasion angle is the attitude era. Not much debate in that.
