Once you catch up to 2022 on this series, I’d love to see you go backwards. I know it gets harder the farther back you go due to limited TV time. But you could go back to at least the mid 70s.
HBK had such a solid second half of his career. One of the better things to come from this time period. He really had some bangers that kept raw watchable.
Add to the fact that he solely wanted to put talent over that run was just amazing. They say Shawn turned down a few runs with the whc, and triple h legit had to really talk him down to let him win at elimination chamber
2003 was and is always known for two things : The Rock and Stone Cold leaving/retiring from WWE and Triple H burying all former WCW talent (Scott Steiner, Booker T, Kevin Nash) and also robbing Booker T out of the World Heavyweight Championship.
after Orton beat Benoit @ Summerslam & hunner herst helmsly challengedfor the big gold belt, i said "if HHH wins, i quit watching" sure enough, he won so i quit watching. fast forward 15 years later, i find myself searching for wwe videos on youtube, "catching up" on whats going on now
2003 was my favorite year to watch WWE. Yeah it was Triple H year of terror but it was still a great year with all the talent Roster they had then. Raw: Triple H, Goldberg, Flair, Orton, Batista, Michaels, Nash, Booker T, Christian, Jericho, Kane, Rob Van Dam, The Dudleys, Henry and others etc. Smackdown: Lesnar, Angle, Undertaker, Cena, Edge, Benoit, Guerrero, Show, Mysterio, Matt hardy, Benjamin, Haas and others etc Special attractions like, Stone Cold, The Rock and Hulk Hogan They had hottest Divas, Stratus, Lita, Wilson and Keibler Sadly, it was the end of Stone Cold Steve Austin in ring career until 19 years later when he returned one last Match at WrestleMania 38 against Kevin Owens. Goldberg finally comes to WWE, Brock Lesnar year of dominance on Smackdown. The Hogan vs McMahon rivalry, The Rock run as Hollywood Heel, and Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho feud. These were my favorite moments of that year. WrestleMania 19 was my favorite pay per view of that year.
In my opinion 2002 was the last great year for WWE, but 2003 was overall pretty good despite Austin retiring, Rock going to Hollywood, and HHH's "Reign of Terror."
Such a fun year of wrestling! Can't wait till you do 2008, I went to the HOF that year, Wrestlemania 24, and the Raw afterwards. Plus numerous raw and smackdowns.
@@Mrovellada1998 because my oldest son is VERY into it and he watches the “old” stuff on UA-cam including events he can see me and his mother at and then he will ask questions about the present roster and what’s going on and like I said I’m clueless
- Booker T should have won at WM - Vengeance is the best "Brand Exclusive" PPV - Goldberg should have won at SummerSlam - Kane should have taken on Shane at SummerSlam - Team Austin should have won at Survivor Series
The first full year of Ruthless Aggression era (Started by mid 2002) and the best year.. I always say 2003 was the last great solid year in wrestling from beginning to end... Stone Cold and Eric Bischoff kept Raw entertaining as f*ck as general manager's. Kane taking his mask off, The Rock as a heel with his last feud against Austin, Goldberg's last good year as a wrestler I actually liked that year he was there. My favorite version of John Cena over on Smackdown. I was playing Smackdown Shut Your Mouth on PS2 all of 2003 and ended the year that Christmas getting Here Comes the Pain.
Right everything after Wrestlemania 20 was wish washy on and off good. Way better than today but couldn't help but notice the decline in the mid 2000's compared to how hot and good WWF was in 1999
Tripple H ruled Raw and Brock Lesnar ruled smackdown. This was the year smackdown was far better than raw due to better storylines and wrestling matches (the wrestling 6)
Once again, revisionist history. Steve Austin was the Raw GM starting off, before being fired at Survivor Series and then brought back as the Sheriff of Raw. Yes, there is a difference.
I watched the WWF more or less religiously from 1991 until 2003. 2003 was the year my patience ran out. I stopped watching WWE and never returned. The brand split making Raw and Smackdown 2 different things instead of a continuous storyline, the 2 World Championship belts, Steve Austin and Rock being gone, Triple H being booked stronger than those 2 guys combined ever were, the lack of Attitude, the general feeling that best times were already behind us. During 2002 I kept hoping things would get better and we’d be going back to the Attitude Era but I was in denial. By 2003 it was obvious that was never going to happen. I organically stopped watching. It wasn’t even conscious. One day I realized I hadn’t watched Raw in 3-4 weeks and I didn’t care. From 1997 to 2001 I would freak out if I missed even a segment on Raw or Smackdown.
Looking forward to the next year in review (2004). I originally started watching this channel to catch up on all the 90's stuff I missed, and I've watched up until now. Keep up the good work :)

For me, 2003 was a tremendous year for the ruthless aggression era especially on Smackdown which was a fantastic show from start to finish with a stacked roster that produced bucket loads of classic matches every week and on ppv, Raw while it had a lot of star power and delivered it's share of great matches, i wasn't a fan of the brand that much mainly because of Triple H's reign of terror which just completely hogged everything even though i loved Evolution. Aside from that, there was no doubt 2003 was really good and in my opinion, it delivered the best Wrestlemania of the entire ruthless aggression era.
@@TheMelody15 I totally feel the same way too, Raw for me wasn't that great mainly because Triple H hogged it all. I would say from August 02 - March 04 was when Smackdown was much better than Raw in terms of quality viewing. I would say Raw picked up again around beginning of 05 from Royal Rumble all the way to Wrestlemania 21
@@WarhawkBeyond2040 Triple H was definitely hogging it all, on Smackdown everyone was getting opportunities and shine. I always think this 🤔 Triple H used his McMahon access to his full advantage to get over on people. Maybe to build a legacy during those years? I don't know, just a assumption. But I feel that Triple H used his McMahon connection to control everything in his favor just because he married Stephanie.
@@TheMelody15 I understand that Triple H was the top heel on Raw but I never truly felt he gave others a chance, I'll admit that he made Randy Orton and Batista into stars during their Evolution run together, he did put Benoit, Batista and Cena over at 3 straight Wrestlemanias but at the same time, even when others were champion, the show was still centred around him. In my opinion, Hunter's place as top guy was already cemented long before he hooked up with Stephanie McMahon and while I'll admit that Hunter did use his influence to secure his spot to help build his own legacy but I think a lot of it was Vince at the back of it to book his son in law to look strong at the expense of the rest of the roster
As much as I wish I was born in 2002 but I am proud and lucky and happy to be born in 2003 cause that was the last time stone cold steve austin wrestled
I been binge watching wwe episodes on peacock. I started in 1999 and just finished 2003. I like to watch your videos after I completed a year. I stopped watching wwe but even then I didn’t get to watch a lot of episodes so all this is still new to me. I really enjoy binging it
Because you had other things to do as an adult or maybe a teenager like we all did. People have to understand in 2002 to 2004 we was not really focusing on pro wrestling that much because the NFL, NBA and the growing UFC was getting interesting and that diverted our attention from pro wrestling..
This was when I think the attitude era ended officially, ended unofficially after wrestlemainia 17 but it doesn’t end overnight, think 2003 still had a slight attitude era feel to it It was was the official end with Austin v rock at wrestlemania 19
I was around 13-14 years old during these era of WWE and since we only have limited access to wrestling shows like weekly brodcast of Smackdown in one of our TV channels, me and my brother would travel by foot for more than 12 kilometers just to buy pirated CDs of WWE pay per view events and I think its worth it because we were introduced to awesome wrestlers like Brock, Austin, Goldberg and many more.
Greatest Wrestlemania of all time, every match was a banger, so much build up for the main events, HBK back stealing the show, Rock/Austin one last time, it had everything.
2003 was a half good half bad year for WWE. On the good side, SmackDown was at its absolute PEAK with Paul Heyman as head booker. Young talent were getting introduced, John Cena started rising up the ranks, the cruiserweight and tag team divisions were great, and the main event scene was stacked with the likes of Big Show, Angle, Taker, Lesnar, Benoit, etc. Meanwhile Monday Night Raw had become the Triple H show. I love Triple H now after the work he’s done in NXT and on the main roster ever since Vince retired, but he was UNBEARABLE during this time.
Triple H is one of my favorite performers ever, but there's no denying he hogged up the spotlight from 2002 through early 2005. He buried a lot of great talent along the way, and I think even he'd have to admit he was immature and selfish during that time. It sucks to see such potential be wasted by greed, but at least he's making up for it with his work in NXT. He's doing well in his new role.
@@lexkanyima2195 because he was the number 1 contender for the WWE championship but Stephanie and Brock made the title exclusive to Smackdown, so Bischoff brought in the WHC to give to H
Brilliant video again 👌🏾✨️ The Rock and Stone Cold leaving definetly affected my view point on the product BUT the Ruthless Aggression stars all brought it back for me. Great wrestling, intriguing story's all brought alot of entertainment.
5:08 Underrated? I don't think Wrestlemania 19 is underrated at all. It's quite literally been compared heavily to Wrestlemania 17 as debatably being on that level or even higher by some people. It might not have sold well in the PPV buys but the card has since been regarded very highly.
I'm really disappointed that no one in the comments is talking about "Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle". The 2 Best Athletes in WWE. Especially the fact that "2002 - 2003" is the best era of Smackdown While in Raw you have Triple H burying WCW wrestlers. Stone Cold and The Rock was push aside
Very nicely done video! I’m glad you were objective and not afraid to call out some of the BS from this year. The quality had clearly dipped in a huge way by 03.
I always saw Brock Lesner like a white Mike Tyson…a big, hard man you wouldn’t want to mess with but has a silly voice that makes you laugh at the fact it’s coming out of their mouths
There was a important stipulation on the line at surviver series snd that was if austin team wins he can come back and wrestle full time eric pisoff cant stop him from competing anymore so it was his official retirement speech at Survivor series
True, that was supposed to be his last match, until almost 2 decades later, Kevin Owens had brought him back with one last Gas left in the Stone Cold Tank to finally have his final match.
Mad to hink Fiddy was 03 makes me feel old seeing him at Superbowl n me being 34 tomorrow. A stopped watching after ths mania. Started again in 17 wae my sons
As a huge women’s wrestling and diva, I clicked immediately when I saw Torrie Wilson in the thumbnail. When I think of 2003, I immediately think of SD and beautiful I thought Torrie was (and still is)❤️
It was the end but at the same time maybe it needed to come to end because there was nothing left. We got to remember in 2003 a lot of people were unhappy with their current position in WWE. Remember when Rock did that promo about get the f out if you're unhappy with WWE? That was actually Vince telling the boys in the back if you're unhappy with your current position then leave.
Same here Triple H hogging the belt was.......... 🤢🤢🤢 plus burying WCW superstars was unfair. Kevin Nash and Goldberg should've been top stars for WWE (not Scott Steiner he was too much of an ass, wasn't professional), maybe Vince was still bitter about WCW competition.
Sean O'Haire was very special in 2003, but unfortunately he did not get enough opportunities in his career in WWE, and I was hoping to see him as WWE champion.

HBK had such a solid second half of his career. One of the better things to come from this time period. He really had some bangers that kept raw watchable.
It was a redemption career

Im so happy you're covering the wwe by the years. Please keep doing more of this.
2003 was my favorite year to watch WWE.
Yeah it was Triple H year of terror but it was still a great year with all the talent Roster they had then.
Raw: Triple H, Goldberg, Flair, Orton, Batista, Michaels, Nash, Booker T, Christian, Jericho, Kane, Rob Van Dam, The Dudleys, Henry and others etc.
Smackdown: Lesnar, Angle, Undertaker, Cena, Edge, Benoit, Guerrero, Show, Mysterio, Matt hardy, Benjamin, Haas and others etc
Special attractions like, Stone Cold, The Rock and Hulk Hogan
They had hottest Divas, Stratus, Lita, Wilson and Keibler
Sadly, it was the end of Stone Cold Steve Austin in ring career until 19 years later when he returned one last Match at WrestleMania 38 against Kevin Owens.
Goldberg finally comes to WWE, Brock Lesnar year of dominance on Smackdown. The Hogan vs McMahon rivalry, The Rock run as Hollywood Heel, and Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho feud. These were my favorite moments of that year.
WrestleMania 19 was my favorite pay per view of that year.
Booker T should have won the world heavyweight championship at mania especially after racist remarks
Took the words out my mouth
But how ?
He was racist for real him and his bff hbk
Still blows my mind how Vince is Still alive after going through this stuff in his late 50s respect
Those billions of dollars 💸 keeping him alive
Tori Wilson in the thumbnail is on point, she owned the SmackDown Divas Division back in 2003 😍😍
I clicked just for her 😂
Yes indeed !! 😎💯
In my opinion 2002 was the last great year for WWE, but 2003 was overall pretty good despite Austin retiring, Rock going to Hollywood, and HHH's "Reign of Terror."
2002 was more of a mixed year rather than a great one. With good wrestling constantly failed by bad writing.
Really loving the year in review videos... honestly just takes me back...as always great video man 👌🏻

True
The Ruthless aggression era really did have great Wrestlemanias tbh. 19 to 22 are all great imo.
2nd place after WM17. The pillow fight was a waste of time, has one of the weaker Undertaker streak matches, and Triple H burying Booker T.
One of my favourites too, but it’s not quite X-7
Great times , I miss this era of wrestling

It was a solid card
5:16 Nathan Jones here like a jacked Bill Burr.
02-03 some of my fondest memories
Flashback in the early 00's
Thanks!! I stopped watching in 2002 so now I can see what I missed!!
🇿🇦🇿🇦
Still waiting for : Right gimmick, Wrong time
Great vid bro ❤
I'm really disappointed that no one in the comments is talking about "Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle". The 2 Best Athletes in WWE.
Especially the fact that "2002 - 2003" is the best era of Smackdown
While in Raw you have Triple H burying WCW wrestlers. Stone Cold and The Rock was push aside
I’ll never forget the return of Stone Cold at No Way Out, it was amazing!
Ah, 2003. The year of HHH’s name on every RAW script
Very nicely done video! I’m glad you were objective and not afraid to call out some of the BS from this year. The quality had clearly dipped in a huge way by 03.
Oh man the memories watching this in 2003 🥹🥹🥹
I stopped watching Raw because of the reign of terror. SmackDown on the other hand always kept me interested.
I love this a year in review videos
This was the year I tuned out…
Man those were such fun times in wwe that's basically when I started watching it growing up
I always saw Brock Lesner like a white Mike Tyson…a big, hard man you wouldn’t want to mess with but has a silly voice that makes you laugh at the fact it’s coming out of their mouths
Brock is legit
7:57 when he said Chris Benoit and Spanky looked like a corpse… 😬
16:54 it wasnt caused by a botched chair shot at all. Taker first shot opened Vince up. Well he bladed seconds in to the match
I love the blady mach in that era
You know what. This is a good review !
reign of terror in full swing
There was a important stipulation on the line at surviver series snd that was if austin team wins he can come back and wrestle full time eric pisoff cant stop him from competing anymore so it was his official retirement speech at Survivor series
True, that was supposed to be his last match, until almost 2 decades later, Kevin Owens had brought him back with one last Gas left in the Stone Cold Tank to finally have his final match.
8:18. Fu bruh 😂😂😂😂😂
Mad to hink Fiddy was 03 makes me feel old seeing him at Superbowl n me being 34 tomorrow. A stopped watching after ths mania. Started again in 17 wae my sons
these are soooo good !!! please could we have wcw years in reveiw ??.....maybe from 88-01 ?? please.....
Make a video about
Canadian Creeper
The Chris Benoit story
Folks was mad about h retaining in that chamber but that finish was fire.. epic heel stuff
HHH reign of terror was a. Poison
I had an Arm Wrestling Match with a Disney Legend of the 90's Grin Hardwing from Mighty Ducks TAS on my 14th Birthday.
2003 was the year when I found wrestling.
2003 was a good year especially loving wrestling and cool music
As a huge women’s wrestling and diva, I clicked immediately when I saw Torrie Wilson in the thumbnail. When I think of 2003, I immediately think of SD and beautiful I thought Torrie was (and still is)❤️
The End of the Attitude Era! This is when the WWF Truly started on the Downward Spiral
It was the end but at the same time maybe it needed to come to end because there was nothing left. We got to remember in 2003 a lot of people were unhappy with their current position in WWE. Remember when Rock did that promo about get the f out if you're unhappy with WWE? That was actually Vince telling the boys in the back if you're unhappy with your current position then leave.
Bro thank you
WWE 2003 Was a hell of good and the moments were there, when stone cold retire from in ring and become a general manager and goldberg made his debut.
Edge's final year as a midcarder
Triple H’s reign of terror made RAW unwatchable for me
Same here Triple H hogging the belt was.......... 🤢🤢🤢 plus burying WCW superstars was unfair. Kevin Nash and Goldberg should've been top stars for WWE (not Scott Steiner he was too much of an ass, wasn't professional), maybe Vince was still bitter about WCW competition.
It was the boring evolution stable. Imagine if it was dx or nwo
I think its kind of funny. Burried alive matches and hell in a cell matches were undertaker specialty matches but he lost most of them that he was in
He won most casket matches though.
Nobody talk about jeff hardy had his last match in 2003 with the rock!
Every year was apparently an "important year for pop culture" 😂😂
Please do the 2004,05,06&07 year review's.
March 19, 2002 - March 30, 2003
The World Wrestling Federation becomes World Wrestling Entertainment
2003, the year where youngsters became superstars. I can't wait for the year review 2004
Wow mentioning Chris Benoit
this youtube channel isn't affiliated with the actual WWE
Smackdown was great Raw was terrible I was team blue back then
A 12 year old me began watching wrestling in this year now a 32 year old me still remembers when both Goldberg's debut and Kevin Nash.s return
Please do year review of 2004 & 2005
Sean O'Haire was very special in 2003, but unfortunately he did not get enough opportunities in his career in WWE, and I was hoping to see him as WWE champion.
