What is the greatest run any wrestling company has ever had?

[GodinDaFlesh]

97-02 WWF
84-92 WWF
96-98 WCW


Pro wrestling died in 2002 as far as I'm concerned. I can't speak on ECW or NWA, but these 3 eras are what I'd have a new pro wrestling fan focus on.

 

[R=G]

The most profitable was the Attitude Era. Yes Mega Powers and the break up was huge. Hogan vs Warrior was huge. Jake was always got. Rick Rude and Dibiase were ULTRA hated. Bad News Brown was rolling. The Road Warriors were huge. Undertaker was debuted the right way. Sherri. Bobby The Brain. Ventura. The Twin story with Jenner. The legendary Dibiase Survivor Series promo from the first one. The greatness of Bam Bam Bigelow. The Rude/Jake feud. Jake slapping Liz. Having the cobra bite Macho. The Flair real world title story. The introduction of Razor. Mr Perfect played his part on another level. No one kicked out of that Jake DDT. NOBODY

'94 & '95 were terrible years.

"Dungeon of Doom"



Now THIS is the correct answer.

Top of the card: Hogan, Flair, Savage, DDP, Sting, Hall & Nash, Goldberg, Bret Hart

Middle card: Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Rey Misterio, Jr., Eddie Guerrero, Booker T. , Raven,

The bottom of the card had 10 man luchador matches & Japanese legends like Masa Chono, Great Muta, Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Thunder Liger

They were off the motherfukkin' chain.

I put 94 and 95 because of the way they managed to turn things around over that 2 year period. And I think its important to show what WCW did before to help gain momentum, which lead up to all the good stuff in 96. We all talk about their success and it's grand failure in the end, but WCW's development into getting into that position doesn't get spoken about enough.

94 was the statement year.

Bischoff openly declared war on Vince and WWF. They signed Hoegan and Savage while not in their WWF primes, they were known national commodities.

95 was the Start of the War.

Turner was fully on board on wanting to beat WWF and Vince. So we get the birth of Nitro on Monday's, which over took Raw permanently within 8 months of first broadcast (they lead the ratings for 6/7 weeks before Bash at the Beach) And from when they debuted till the end of 95, they lead the ratings 9/17 weeks, so they were already showing signs of steady growth, even before we got to 96. The signing of Luger and had him appear on the Nitro premiere and selling it as him still being a WWF wrestler. A tactic which they went on to use to even greater effect 8 months later.

The houseshows started to pick up in the fall of 95, which was the Nitro effect.

94 they had 7 PPVs and in 95 they expanded to an additional 3 PPVs, matching WWF's 10 PPVs who had themselves introduced a new set of PPVs with their IYH ppvs.

96 - We know how that played out.

Storyline and product wise, it may not of been great in 94-95, but key foundations were laid that helped get them to 96 and be able to sign Nash, Hall, CW's etc... To have success you need to put in the work beforehand to get there and that's what the 94 and 95 years are, considering they didn't have anything close to competing with the WWF at the start of 94.

Back in the attitude era everything damn near had WWF merchandise

I remember they had a section just for wrestling shyt and the toy store

They did but 80s had better t-shirt designs
Plus pretty much every wrestler under contract had an LJN...Name a Ted Arcidi match?

I can't name one except his appearance in the wrestlemania 2 battle royal
But he has an ljn

Plus they thumb wrestlers,the stretchies, the bendies, and wrestling buddies

I love the attitude era but that 80s run was goat

That's some sound logic, my friend. Well done.

I read somewhere that it's more profitable today because of the international market.

but yeah i would say the greatest run is attitude as well as 90's all japan (in terms of just banger matches).
