Re: The 20 Icons of the Attitude Era
Great list. The talent they had in that time period is really unbelievable. Russo doesn't get enough credit for what he did, he had a big part to play in nearly all of those characters.
Angle should be top 10 though btw.

Re: The 20 Icons of the Attitude Era
This list just goes to show you how deep the roster was and how OVER they were. Where is Rikishi, Too Cool, Godfather, Sable, Trish Stratus. The Women division had such great emphasis on it. I truly miss the era.

1. Rock/Austin
2. Vince
3. Foley
Angle should be a lot higher on this list, but I guess that's part of WWE's mentality pretending that he was never in the company. At least Top 10. Shane should also be up there. And I agree with Sable because at her 98-99 peak she was one of the most over personalities ever in wrestling, not only in the females category.

Typical bias rock316ae, putting rock and Austin as joint but with rocks name first 
If anyone should be joint first with Austin it should be Vince McMahon. He's screwing of Bret plus Austin vs McMahon feud made him the biggest heel of the era. Every top face of the attitude era feuded with him in some way or another. He got massive heat reactions and played the heel character extremely well. There wouldn't be an attitude era without Austin but it wouldn't of been nearly as awesome without Vince McMahon

Because the rock jobbed to Austin at WrestleMania 15 & 17 and they were deciding who was second behind stone cold as the GOAT.
As for Rock316AE, surely you can't think he has any credibility left? Did you not see him get mauled a couple of months ago in this thread? It made for great reading. I recommend going back to look over it. Bigwwefan1980 tore holes in him and exposed his sham arguments and flip-flopping, and the GOAT thread has been a Rock316AE-free zone ever since.
Guys like Stuart82 and Bigwwefan and a few others just dealt in too much logic and had too many facts to hand for him to be able to handle it.

Re: The 20 Icons of the Attitude Era
I don't think Too Cool should be on the list (to those saying they should be). When I think of the Attitude Era, they are one of the last groups of people that come to mind at all. Pretty good list, though. No surprise Austin was #1.

Vince/Rock can be argued for joint second

Re: The 20 Icons of the Attitude Era
No Ken Shamrock? But Kurt Angle makes the list? boo.
Rest is spot on.

Sir you are correct! People love to mistake the AE ending at WM 17 when WWE itself says the AE ended mid 02 which means Austin was "the man" 98/99 and Rock was "the man" 00-02.
Obliviously WWE would never allow a sellout like Rock to be featured over Austin, this list is another stupid joke thanks to WWE politics |
