You were obviously born in the 21st century, to not realize how great wrestling was back then. It was literally on the top of the world, where almost every kid wanted to end up as an adult.

1. I agree. Stone Cold wasn't that great of a wrestler. Neither is John Cena. The difference is, Stone Cold was a great entertainer.
2. That gave more time to create the epic storylines and added more realism. Plus, that actually made the PPV Main Events feel like something, unlike now.
3. That's your opinion. I bet Jim Cornette would agree with you.
4. I found it quite hilarious.
5. HHH began getting all the title shots at the very end of Attitude Era, and during the Ruthless Agression era.
6. They weren't held back at all. Us fans shouldn't really be saying anything about what's happening backstage, cause we quite frankly have no idea.
7. Mick Foley is one of the top reasons why Attitude Era was great.
8. Funny at the time. Seems kinda lame to look back at now.

All in all, the ratings pretty much speak against you. You have your decent opinions there, and I respect those, but as I said, the ratings speak against you.

No i wasnt born in the 21th century i was born in the 20th century.
I dont regard 1999 the year he started getting title shots being the very end of the attitude era.
YOU THINK THE MAE YOUNG CRAP WAS FUNNY!!
Mick Foley is just a washed up hasbeen
DX was just a rip off of the NWO which were way better then DX

I started wacthing in the ruthless agression era in 2004 when eddie and benoit where the champions.

Ruthless agression era>attitude era.

If you were born in the 20th century, you're acting really immature for your age. Triple H had title shots way before 1999. He had them way earlier. However, what I meant, is that he only got way more major title shots, than he should have, at the end of Attitude Era. Which really surprises me, considering his in-ring skills.

Mick Foley may be a "hasbeen", but back then he wasn't. You'll never find a tougher guy except perhaps Terry Funk.

As for the rest you said, those are just your opinions. You have no "facts" that have the slighest backup.

Why? We're having a decent conversation about something that interests us. If you don't like it, then why not stay out?

It's not that I don't like it, Skull; It's just that I hate to see 10 million threads about wrestling. For God's sake, keep it all in one thread! Besides, you had the same complaint last time he did this, so don't pull that doube standards bullshoot on me. Are you saying, it's only ok if you complain about the infinite amounts of wrestling topics?

No, it's just that I see which of Predator's threads are worth keeping and which are not. Now this thread pretty much is worth deleting, cause you and DD just couldn't reply anything sane to our short-tempered friend or plain ignore him. It would have been a decent conversation if you had, but decent conversation is too much to ask around here nowadays, I guess.
