The Attitude Era is always going to be for some the greatest time in pro wrestling.

If you were a child growing up with this, it was like all your dreams had come true.

Constant chaos to the art of violence. What else do you need?

It was a lot of old time ago though and times have changed, so what can we learn today from

binge watching the WWF from 1997 to 2002.

Sit down with me, Simon Miller, my friends, and let's find out.

Number 30, the first pay-per-view within the era wasn't great.

I mean, at the time, I don't think WWE even knew they'd entered a new era.

That's why going back is so interesting.

You can see the two periods merging together. If we do see the Montreal screw job at the 1997 Survivor series as the unofficial starting point, though,

the next paper view on the calendar was in your house Degeneration X. It really wasn't that good.

You get an eight-match card with four finishes being disqualifications, and the main event

is Shaw Michaels versus Ken

Shyamrock for the WWF title. Now Ken deserved this. The man should have been moved into the

position permanently, but go and watch it now. You will see. For whatever reason he was treated

as the guy just below, makes no sense we need new stars. Goldust also cuts a promo halfway through where he

recites Dr. Zeus. And that kind of sort of sums it up. Number 29, the next one was way better.

Because it was the 1998 Raw Rumble. Talk about the WWF picking their new direction and moving forward.

There's a real sense of danger to the whole thing, especially as new star Stone Cold Steve Austin enters the rumble with a target on his head.

The whole roster wanted to get rid of him, as Austin had run Rothschild to the whole company.

Dolos versus Vader is also an underrated gem, whereas the Rock and Ken Shamrock were having a great

feud. And yes, it's around this time when that chair shot happened.
