WWE Ranks "The 20 Icons of the Attitude Era"

[23Barrettcity]

Summerslam 2000 is reflective of Cripple H and his worth to fans. Got pushed as a tweener for the match. Storyline was about him/Angle/Stephanie and the crowd no sold their confrontation before the match like it wasnt shyt and kept chanting Rocky. The ultimate proof that no matter how hard you push Cripple..he's second rate..just like he was forced to lean back at Mania 18. If you are a real icon, you dont have to tell no one. The fans know.

Yes h wouldn't let his push marinate. he thought he could make himself a Austin level icon

At the disrepect of Foley

comparing him to Sabu

Stone GOAT and the Great One being the top 2 aren't even up for debate. I'd put Vince ahead of Trips though and put DX as a whole in the top 5(HBK, HHH, XPac, Chyna and the NAO). Then it would be between Foley and Taped Fist Taker for my last spot in the top 5.

 

[Tryna Makit]

Haitch is right below McMahon in my opinion. Don't forget dude was THE bad guy of the attitude era. The 3 stages of hell with Austin had a younger me furious. When That fukkin Pedigree got put on nobody got up.

 

[patscorpio]

He is a Sabu type but he has promo capability and doesnt botch as much. The reason he matters is because he fell off a damn cage against Taker. Thats it.

sabu type? come on breh...sabu was a walking botchfest/spot monkey whose matches told no story or had a flow...can't say that about foley's matches

 

[R=G]

Foley matches had a flow, eh? He came up off of barb wire and psycho wannabe Adullah the Butcher type matches.

That's political. That's not indicative of how good he was.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

This list is loaded with politics, but...

1. Austin
2. Rock
3. McMahon
4. DX (I'm not going to break it down)
5. Foley

Bret should be higher.

Jericho's stooging pays off and gets him in the Top 10.

Yep, a lot of people might say this could be one of the major launching points for the Attitude Era.

Bret "Hitman" Hart snaps March 17, 1997 - YouTube

I know he wasn't there when it was in full swing but if Shawn is Top 10, Bret should be too. They both kicked it off. The Hart Foundation angle is one of the best things from that whole period.

 

[ML29]

Well.... its less offensive then most of the list they put out. HBK is way too high up considering he was mostly on hiatus during the Attitude Era. Sable should also have a spot in the top twenty. Godfather and Val Venis could've easily made the list too.

 

[Sex Drugs & Alcohol]

Austin
Rock
Vince

Should be the Top 3, everyone else is interchangeable depending on preference

 

[Ohnoits]

Edge and Christian and hbk should switch spots
And Trish stratus should've been on the list over goldust

Goldust one of the most original characters to come out of the AE?

Trish was a NOBODY in the AE compared to those guys.

A pair of t*ts and an incredible ass, but was not a big star, influential character, nor was she a draw on par with any of the people on that list. At that point in her career she was a rip off of the Sable gimmick. She didn't become her own thing until years later.

As for the list I don't get why Steph is put higher than Shane, or why Undertaker is so low.

 

[Tommy Fits]

I was going make a huge post discussing what a piece of shyt R=G is and where the fukk does he get this idea Foley was only decently over or only cut decent promos. For the record Foleys best promo's >>>>the Rock's catch phrase laden promos. But I remember why the virgin hates Foley so much and it's because of this



If Foley won the his first title against anyone other than the Rock, the hate wouldn't be anywhere near this level.

He came before attitude....during attitude he did the artist formerly known as goldust and became Dustin runnels... His peak was during the new generation era
