1998–2002 era only, during the dynasty that was D-Generation X.



In the age of Stone Cold and The Rock, a simpler time where all America had to worry about was who was going to shotgun two tall boys or what Dwayne Johnson was cooking.



When The Undertaker became an American Badass and Kane still wore a mask.



But it wasn't all serious, you had the clinch gimmicks like Rakishi and The Hardy Brothers before Jeff went Turbo Gay. Granted there are probably way older goons that will consider earlier times the "golden" age but I'm pretty sure most people in GBS grew up in a time when Dennis Rodman was a regular guest star of Smack Down. Fuckin - Mankind getting choke slammed through a cage, say whaaaaat

The Hardys vs Edge and Christian was some of the most entertaining fake wrestling I had ever seen when I was growing up.

This is worth watching in a not even ironic way. It's amazing what these guys are willing to do for their sport. Is linking to this :filez:? Eh, not chancing it.

They're both loving insane for having done this and society was in no way enriched for their effort, but drat is it fascinating.

There's a bit where Mick Foley / Mankind keeps mugging oddly for the camera. During one of his falls he accidentally bit through his lip and he was trying to show he could stick his tongue through the hole.

I would get the Edge and Chris Jericho mixed up for years and years on end for some reason, probably because they both sucked and were boring.

No joke Lucha Libre is way more entertaining and some of the moves are awesome and dangerous. I think it's because OSHA has no power in Mexico.

The People's Elbow, which was an elbow drop that guys had to sell like a top-rope powerbomb because it was The Rock.

The Rock was very, very good at his job.

The torture rack because it was literally giving someone a ride on your shoulders and somehow it really hosed people up lol

That one move where you sit on someones back and pull their legs back was legit because I think we seriously injured each others backs as kid doing them.

just in general i would say the 'DDT' is the greatest finishing move ever. not sure of the best DDTer though, thats a tough question.

on the other hand, the 'tombstone' is IMO the weakest looking but in reality prob the most damaging.

the 'Stone Cold Stunner' prob the most exciting/entertaining sig move, despite being pretty basic technically

The best part about the stunner was Stone Cold absolutely flipping out with fingers and gently caress yous afterwards.

no it's not, Jake Roberts is the only possibly answer for "best DDT"

it's like a totally different caliber of move when he does it.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts also had a move where he took his snake Damien out of the gunny sack while his opponent is tied up in the ropes and "strangle" them. He pulled this move on the Andre the Giant and he had a heart attack then and there in the ring.
