Andy you’re def from Canada. You have to stop making video centered around Bret off of storied that only Bret has said. It’s wrestling, you weren’t behind the scenes so just talk about the show and not what you “think” you know behind the scenes
1993 was the year the WWF snake shed its 1980s skin and new generation skin revealed underneath. It was also the first “real” year of the 1990s culturally.
1992 still had some 80’s elements. Hair metal was on its last legs that same year. By 1993, even as a little kid. It was already phased out completely by the end of ‘93 or even before then too. I saw very little to no hair metal bands getting any attention at all as late as ‘95.
I believe that The Golden Era ended at King of The Ring 1993 when Hulk Hogan exited WWE, signifying the beginning of the New Generation Era. I definitely see the change when Hogan, Savage, Warrior, and others from that era are phasing out in favoring Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, and Undertaker. This is evident starting in SummerSlam 1992 even though still it had 80s vibes. By 1993, the 80s were definitely gone.
It was definatly the year of young generations rising until the very end. I cannot wait for the next year review documentary. Keep it up Andy, great work
This was great! 1992 was when I tapped out of the WWF so very interesting to see what would’ve happened if I’d kept watching. I’m appreciating the WWF more than ever now - thanks for these reviews 😎
@@peterbaini8752 I kept watching because my favorite wrestler started to become the main guy. And the New Generation had some amazing matches. But the ratings dipped down a lot.
At Survivor Series, the identities of three knights were: Jeff Gaylord was the Black Knight Greg Valentine was the Blue Knight Barry Horowitz was the Red Knight
As a kid watching Wrestlemania 9 live was amazing. I had a hardtime explaining to my friend over the phone that Hogan won the belt, when the match was Yoko vs Bret (we were both Bret fans)
@@Shoto_Mist same here.. But got lucky that one month and we had that unscrambler for the ppv.. Then parents took it away because it had too much adult stuff on there 😔
Haha the unscambler i remember that! Remember when the pay per view would show all the way to main event sometimes..i remember watching the intros for hulk Hogan vs earthquake and i was so pumped and then the channel went blank 😂
Thanks again for the great clip bringing back so many memories. That year not only had the worst Wrestlemania but also the worst finish to a Royal Rumble match ever with Randy Savage actually trying to pin Yokozuna and then being bench pressed over the the top rope like a toy.
I was born in the early 90s (1991). I am seeing that 1993 being a transitional period between The Golden Era and the upcoming New Generation Era. The change is evident as old favorites are leaving make room for newer stars. I love both eras which still featured Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and Ted DiBiase while Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Yokozuna, Razor Ramon, and Lex Luger are being established. I believe that the Golden Era ended at King of The Ring 1993 when Hogan exited the company and marks the beginning of the New Generation Era.
If I recall, only one of the Quebecers (Jacques) was in the Foreign Fanatics team. The 4th guy was Crush. Anyway, the 1991-1994 years were the Golden age years for WWF at least for me. These were the years I recall as a kid getting into pro wrestling along with my brothers. And we were living in Germany at the time and as thus we'd get to see all the WWF wrestling events including pay-per-views for free on AFN. Looking at these videos fills me with nostalgia. And these videos provide some more context as to what was going on with the company that as an 8-year-old I never knew of. Keep up the good work. 👍
1993-95 was so damn bad for WWF. They really should have just gone out of business. They have never had a good stretch that could make up for this godawful streak of misery.
@SomeHyenas lol that's funny cus those are the years I really started to get into wrestling as a kid, I was like 7, 8. So those shitty years will always be great to me! Lol I remember 1995 Royal Rumble was the first ever PPV we bought at my house, a reward for doing good in school. I loved it! But watching now, the Royal Rumble match was nothing but jobbers lol, one of the worst as in star power. It was cool that HBK and Bulldog stayed in from start to finish tho, I dont think WWE has done that since have they?
@@billblaski9523 WWE has recreated that moment in royal rumble a number of times. Stone Cold & Vince McMahon in 1999 started and ended the rumble together. Orton & Edge started the rumble and ended it together in 2021!
I stopped watching the WWE (then WWF) around the 1990/91 period and then when dating my then girlfriend in 1999 found she loved WWE and I found how much it had changed, how hardcore it was compared to how it was. I still liked it though. You have to change it with the times you don't want getting stale and losing the audience. Vince McMahon Jr is a great promoter and took it places.
As much as I wanted to see more of Bret with the title in ‘93, Luger should’ve won the title at summerslam 93. He was over with the crowd. All the months leading up with the lex express bs and building him up what a waste to not give him the title at SS.
I was 10 years old. I was a wrestling fan, and a Hulkamaniac. But this is the year that I started feeling like the WWF is getting dry, they needed new talent and a new approach. The 80's & early 90's golden days were long gone.
"Luger drunk in a bar" is not only a myth, it is also - falsely - associated with WMX and not SummerSlam. I am getting the impression that these videos here are low on solid information but quick to dish out judgments. The Women's title wasn't reactivated in 1993 but 1994. And need I say: Dr Tom Pritchard, Gigolo Jimmy Del Rey - The Beverly Brothers.
I remember when Carlos Colón came to the ring in the 93 Rumble, Monsoon said "there's a lot of fire in this youngster!" even though Carlos was like 44 years old and the oldest man in the Rumble, lol.
Ludvig Borga was the best thing about this year. Destoyed Marty Jannetty at Summerslam and ended Tatankas streak on RAW. Yokozuna with Ludvig Borga vs Lex Luger was pure GOLD!! Too bad douple injury ended Tony Halme's Ludvig Borga run. First broke his back in Razor Ramon match when 30 days later his angle in Rick Stainer match January 1994 right before Royal Rumble
The only reason Vince started the WBF to begin with was because Lex Luger was still under contract with WCW and couldn't sign with another wrestling promotion, but he could sign with a bodybuilding promotion. It was only started to sign Luger because Vince was convinced that he could make Luger the next Hulk Hogan.
Damn did y’all see hogan hit that Enzuigiri?😳 I guess he only pulled out moves like that when in Japan because he had about as boring and basic move set as you could get when he wrestled here in our stateside promotions! Big right hands, hip toss, Body slams, Irish whip to clothesline, hulk up, no sell opponents punches, shake head in anger, irish whip to big boot, leg drop of doom, cover 1,2,3. Ladies and gentlemen you have just read the entire move set of the immortal hulk hogan for every match he ever did as face hogan in a US promotion. 🤣🤣. But he was a totally different wrestler when he wrestled in the Japanese promotions.
Some say that 1994 was the start of the New Generation Era. My thoughts? All began in 1993 for sure. The Golden Era to me ended after WM8. Hogan in ‘93 WWF was very out of place by then. To me, ‘93 to somewhere around ‘97 was the NG Era in the WWF.
Early 92 to late 93 was very much a “transitional time for the WWF. I would say the NG started around mid 93. Things started to become overly kid friendly and very cartoony. I would also say that the NG ended in late 96. Where WWF went into another transitional period. Before the Attitude era started, between late 97 and WM14.
9 year old me loved the then wwf so much at this time , I loved the new generation and although wrestlemania wasn't great it looked spectacular and the Steiners/Headshrinkers match was superb , towards the end of the year I loved the seed being sown for Owen/Bret and let's not forget Max Moon 😂
Luger celebrating in the ring after he won via countout is one of the most laugh out loud bad moments ever. I laughed so hard for minutes when that happened. Like ummm.....Lex...you know you didn't win the belt right? Are...are they serious?...then they lifted him on their shoulders and I lost it lol
I know the spot was obviously rehearsed before hand to make sure lex could slam yokozuna but imagine if it wasn't and in the big moment lex couldn't slam him. Hmm, things to ponder. 🤔🤣😂
Does anyone see the people running in the crowd during the brief video of the Steiners match with the Beverlys at the Rumble? What the hell was up with that? Did I miss something?

In retrospect, Bret showed more respect to the World Wrestling Federation Championship Belt than Hogan ever did.
But was more respected

I agree. 1993 was the start for sure. I’ve been saying that for years too.
