TNA Kurt Angle was the GOAT

>>19988642
care to extrapolate further? Smackdown in 2006 was anything but good

>>19988642
i'd say 2008. they had a lot of starpower back then and weren't entirely creatively bankrupt

It gradually gets worse.

WWE changed so much it has nothing to do with the good old WWF anymore. They are erasing wrestling history left and right while replacing the audience with third worlders.

2008 was the last year of ruthless aggression before it became PG

2009-2010 was when it was just really watered down, and the only 'good' parts of that time period was the RA stars telling their last stories

2011 onwards i think wwe was already dead, i dont really care what anyone says, it lost all its spark. main events were now shit like daniel bryan versus jack swagger, and the only interesting thing that happened was cm punk broke kayfabe on the ramp

>>19988642
Nah, 2005 was WWE's last good year up until late November. Eddie dying really fucked up WWE and cast a terrible light on wrestling in general. Then Benoit was the final nail in the coffin.

>>19990484
Yup, this is the only correct answer

>>19990484
Are you the same person who posts this every time it’s brought up? There’s always some faggot who says “hurr Benoit’s death ruined WWE!” Wrestling was already a total laughing stock. Benoit’s death meant nothing accept they stopped doing chair shots to the head.

Seeing a chairshot to the head is one of the most kino things in wrestling. Getting rid of them definitely made WWE worse.

Let's super ultra book this guy and put him in a different color fruity pebbles shirt every week for 15 years! I'm sure this will keep the 80s and 90s fans watching and not scare them away at all.

>>19990580
Yeah we'll lose long time fans but think of the short term gains in merch sales.

>>19988642
Unironically true.

>>19988642
I would say 2008.
