| This topic has come up before, and there seems to be some argument about the "best era" in wrestling. Now, I'm definitely a big fan of the classic stuff, but how can anything compete against the 90's? It was BY FAR the best decade in wrestling! And the reason for that is because it had more trends and "big things" then the 80's or even this decade.
Think about it... what really defines the 80's? Hulkamania. Period! It was HUGE! But it was really the only "big thing". Everything, including the birth of the PPV was built on it.
Now, the 90's was a different story. We started off with The New Generation... granted that wasn't really that big. But then we got the The Monday Night Wars, the NWO, and the Attitude Era!
So really, the 90's were the best era because of the greater number of "big things" happening. I can't see a counter argument to this. | |

| There was more happening in the 80s than just Hogan - the thing is that Hogan worked for a much better marketer than his competition at that time. In other companies, you had the Von Erics, Flair, Steamboat, and some some others that made wrestling really fun to watch. | |
