I started watching wrestling on July 4th, 2002 and I did not realize that until your timeline video. I knew it was somewhere in that year but I wasn't sure when until I remembered everything that you started talking about after that point

    Thanks for this because 95 is a underrated year! Now I know business wasn’t all that great in all 3 companies but between Bret Hart, Undertaker, HBK, Goldust, and Mankind work in WWF, Sting, Flair, Savage, Pillaman, and Arn work in WCW and Raven, Shane Douglas, Austin and the introduction to Lucha in ECW 1995 was a great year far as what was on the tv in my opinion. Not everything was great but damn sure 100c better than what we seeing today
