2007-2009 was when pro wrestling peaked
>>
how old were you then?
>>
>>20397008
Let me guess…born in 99?
>>
>>20397008
I know this is probably bait but if you unironically think this then you need to take a bump
>>
>>20397008
Pro wrestling peaked when I was 10. A lot of things did come to think of it.

explain yourself OP

1998-2005 thoughever.
You can pinpoint the release of Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 as the moment when the decline really
hit
>>
>>20397032
try 96-03

>wwe pushing shitters like carlito and mvp
>tna being tna
>roh getting worse and worse
>japan in slump

Possibly the worst modern stretch.
>>
>>20397008
In TNA?
>>
>>20397048
09-13 might have been worse for all those places, except for NJPW finding a new pulse with the returns of okada and naito and all those guys
>>
>>20397013
not him but i was born in 00 and i agree with him
>>
>>20397048
I feel like me and Vince were the biggest Carlito fans

09-11 was definitely the worse. Everyone crying about celebrities now must not have been watching then because it can get much much worse.
>>
>>20397008
maybe on planet retard

>>20397042
Many of you missed the mid to late 80s
>>

many people believe spongebob quality went downhill after first film and Stephen Hillenburg intended it to be true ending wraping the whole series, so what year do you think pro wrestling ending would be?
>>
>>20397240
1985

what's it like to only have grown up with corposlop and nostalgia for things you never experienced?

>Guest Host era
>40 year old babyface Triple H 'rebelling' against Vince
>Hornswoggle being a permanent punchline to every lame joke they've got
>The neverending Cena vs Randy feud
>Kozlov, Viscera, Khali, Mark Henry before he got a clue, bald shaved eyebrows Snitsky being put in monster-of-the-week feuds then discarded immediately
>Main eventer Finlay
>The new HD sets
>Literal Nickelodeon humour
>Having to pretend that Nickelback was good
>Uber babyface Jerry Lawler on commentary marking out over Super Cena antics and saying some of the dumbest shit ever as a 50+ year old wrestling vet
>Checked out JR
>Crowds would be so dead that they had to pipe in some noise just to get something coming across on TV
>Pushes constantly getting derailed because they had to crack down on the wellness policy because of Benoit (except for Randy and Trips)
>Whatever the fuck Kane was doing
>The midcard and tag team scenes being treated like complete filler. Just incredibly dull shit. No fun segments whatsoever. No crazy high flying action. Little to no chemistry between the characters. I guess there was Matt Hardy & MVP, what else?
>The lower card acts that do have some potential on ECW either end up getting fired, repackaged, or sentenced to Superstars hell
Yeah dude gotta love neutered wrestling
>>
>>20397240
The only appropriate ending for wrestling was the Benoit thing
>>
2004-2011 is unwatchable garbage. second worst period in WWE history, 2023-now being the worst.

Nah pro wrestling peaked the years I was like 8-12 (1993-1996) and will never be as exciting, fresh, or comfy ever again
>>
>>20397019
Not really but everything did for the most part when I was either 10, 16, 21, or 30
