Kinda hard to believe Triple H first came into WWE as a rich snob. I wonder what would have happened to him if he never teamed up with Shawn Michaels.

The JBL one still blows my mind because I remember thinking ain’t no fucking way lmao. He looked and acted soo different. Drew’s is right there next to him for me

Seperating the Rockers and creating the Legendary HeartBreak Kid, which eventually led to the formation of the Kliq, so the curtain call would happen and the SCSA era could begin, leading wwe to win the monday wars.

I remember when John Cena debued. It seemed that creative was throwing everything and the kitchen sink to get him over, and it all was trash. Especially that "these nuts" catchphrase where he'd throw a packet of nuts at his opponent. Really lame stuff. Good for him and us fans that he finally came up with something good.

The ringmaster? You should have added Stunning Steve Austin when he was a tag team with Brian Pillman as the Hollywood blondes!

Now we need 10 gimmicks that ruined a superstars career, this was really good!

Stone cold was the biggest change that probably shot the wwe ratings past the WCW. The whole wwe roster was jammed packed with great stars to help but Austin was the reason why they called it the attitude era

Mark’s “hall of pain” gimmick was legendary, it was so believable & perfect.

Everybody's forgetting about the major change Vince McMahon made to himself to make Mr McMahon.. if Vince McMahon stayed Vince McMahon.. WWF would have lost the war and probably would have been out of business.

deacon batista would’ve never last, glad they switched

[aznnp]

You've gotta hand it to JBL. I couldn't believe that he got pushed for so long, but he made it work as a top heel for a while.

[pdragonw]

You can kind of add Edge also. From the mystery man in the crowd to the "Brood" and finally to "The Rated R Superstar". Also you have from "Kama, The Supreme fighting Machine" to "The Godfather"

Hunter Helmsley's gimmick change to The Game definitely saved Triple H's career, even if he didn't marry a McMahon.

[bartolomeestebanmurillo]

I think the Kane character really helped Glenn's career but his most hilarious gimmick in my opinion was Corporate Kane, essentially a parody of Glenn in real life. The JBL gimmick made for a memorable heel during Ruthless Aggression but I liked APA JBL, he didn't take himself so seriously.

Drew McIntyre’s story continues to inspire me to this day. The fact that he was able to come back to WWE and become one of the biggest names ever in an era where WWE would normally never pull the trigger on anyone that wasn’t Roman Reigns, it was refreshing and him winning the 2020 rumble was so beautiful. It was depressing to see him win the WWE title with no crowd though. Here’s hoping he gets another moment like it with a crowd soon.

[achimsinn]

The Hall of Pain was so good because it never felt like a gimmick change they forced onto him to turn him heel, but as a believable continuation for the strongest man gimmick as Mark Henry grew frustrated of being overlooked over and over again despite being so much more powerfull than the others.

[entertainment]

Not gonna lie, I’m a Cena fan and his rivalry with JBL was great honestly! Those two managed to play off of each other very well and represented almost class warfare type of theme in a way!

[GenericUsernameWhatever]

JBL never gets the credit he deserves, one of the best heels the company had and a genuine heat magnet.

[deraelevans]

The fact you could take someone like Bradshaw who was a tag team specialist and later turned into a top Heel and great character shows how much talent wwe had in the attitude era

[shaungarrett]

RIP Luke Harper. I still think about how much love he got from his colleagues at his death.
