Nothing beats the excitement and energy of the Attitude Era!

[raymondsprs]

The best part about JR’s commentary was he called it like as if you were just listening to it on the radio. You could literally know exactly what happened in this match with just audio. Legendary 💯

I agree, the Attitude Era was something special. The larger-than-life characters and unpredictable storylines made it such an exciting time to be a wrestling fan.

The good old days when you couldn't missed a Raw or SmackDown at all.

I love the crowd chanting "You suck! What?!"

[phenomenalone]

Are you guys finally including entrances in full match videos? It's BEEN overdue.

[peytonlong]

Kurt Angle from 2001-2009 was my guy never seen anyone better before or after tbh

[Gibbslx]

I wish modern matches followed this formula. Mostly brawling (lots of punches, kicks, whips) and a slam or "power move" here and there and an attempt at a pin after them. Makes it feel more authentic and makes the really special athletic spots and finishers feel that much more impactful.

[brandonluna]

The quick paced action back then for even the biggest stars is something else when you look back on it.

[Clemente-rruh]

This was on a Raw, looks better then yesterday´s Rumble atmosphere

[shudson]

Thank God they are including the entrance now.

[teizhanmcfall]

The old Raw & Samckdown was legendary 😢. Now we will never see it again 😭

[sainaboucham-npvd]

Back when a raw match is better than a pay per view of this generation

[sainaboucham-npvd]

Can't believe this was 22 years ago what a hard hitting match by two of the best in wwe

[micmeraz]

This match was on Raw and was better than every match at the Rumble last night

[ostrichwayne]

This match is a certified timeless classic.

[JonjonManao]

11:14 "2 dammit" oh Earl haha 😂

[ashimkhan]

What a match it was between these two legends ❤

[RareHunter]

Man everything JR is saying is so good to listen. the voice of all time
