The Monday Night Wars is still the best era in pro wrestling

After watching the whole Monday Night Wars series on eight DVDs. I still declare that era to be the best one in pro wrestling because you get to see the best in both WWF and WCW at the time during Monday nights. Usually I watch RAW right after Monday Night Football to see my favorite wrestlers to love and hate such as The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Undertaker, The Hardyz, Edge and Christian, Trish, Lita, etc. It wasn't until 1998 until I watched WWF and WCW that I really went back into wrestling thanks to my older brother Eric who also went back into it. I hope I stick with wrestling long enough to have another boom period, but until then I will stick around to see who'll be the next wrestler to not only be the #1 guy, but to put wrestling on the main stream consiniousness again like Rock, Austin, Hogan, and Goldberg. In my opinion, there is no better time to be a wrestling fan like the late '90s-early 2000s. I wish WCW was still around so I can flip channels back and forth like my brother and I used to every Monday night. Glad I bought two volumes on DVD so I can relive my teenage years through this documentary as I can always learn something new with each episode. Plus I still consider WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy as the best video games for each company for the N64 since they were both made by THQ and the Aki corporation. If you agree or disagree with what I'm saying, please reply to this post.

Monday Night Wars was preceded by the Saturday afternoon wars. Ric Flair would show up on WWF with the NWA belt, JYD and Rick Rude would go over to WCW and become champs and bash WWF, Sid jumps from a feud with El Gigante to being the "special referee" for Hogan and Savage vs the Iraqis. The war between Turner and McMahon started on Black Saturday in 1984. It went 20 years if you count the Rock-Hogan feud and the invasion angle.

I caught the ass end of it (2000 to 2001), but even that beats today's wrestling by a mile.

That's why it beat raw in rating for a long time. I still remember when they announced they were the number one in ratings and champion of the world.
