1997 was one of the G.O.A.T. years to be a Wrestling fan

[DaHNIC82]

1997 is often a overlooked year in Wrestling, Match quality, Storytelling and feuds was red hot in ALL 3 Companies.

WCW: The NWO/WCW at its climax with Sting/Hogan, Savage/DDP/ Benoit/Sullivan
WWF: Hart/Michaels feud is getting more personal and starting to spill on shows, Austin's character becoming red-hot, The Nation of Domination/Ahmed Johnson feud/ The Hart Foundation reuinion
ECW:Their first PPV Barely Legal, The Dudleyz/Gangstas, WWF Invasion, Taz emerging as a serious beast, Tommy Dreamer finally beating Raven

The year 2000 was some other shyt breh, I was a mark and I loved it

We ate so good as wrestling fans back then. All the different wrestling styles, the angles, the language, etc

No way I would have guessed the business would be where it's at today from a creative/popularity standpoint

Heyman made this match feel like the FIGHT OF THE CENTURY

Forever a game changer

A 5 STAR MATCH here... Work rate, a unpredictable twist of the story, Different characters being involved(Hart Foundation, Paul Bearer) Taker and Michaels not liking each other but having common enemies and Hart hating Michaels. It was a clash of characters and that spawned Taker/Michaels afterwards, although the real heat was between Hart and Michaels

Thats why like many from this era and the era previous is hard to rock with this current shyt. You watch a feud like Austin and Owen for the IC title and you go from that to Wade Barrett and Ambrose whom are seemingly just put out there with no sole purpose.
