What Decade was the" Hey~Day " of Professional Wrestling?

Question

Was it the 70's, 80's, or the 90's ?......Why did you choose that decade?.....

Thanks for the great answers....

I gotta' go with the 80's myself. I pretty much grew up in the 80's.

Answer 1

70's ... things weren't quite as faked back then. People were a lot more down to earth and not as nasty/disgusting back then.

Answer 2

I say it's the 80's and the 90's because of the Junkyard Dog, Paul Orndorff, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, The Four Horsemen, the Legion of Doom, Sgt. Slaughter, Nicolai Volkoff, the Iron Sheik, and many others. I was growing up during this time period, by the way. The stars of that era are now true legends in their own right!!

Answer 3

Probably the 80's - Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Roddy Piper, that cartoon on TV, Junk Yard Dog, George the Animal Steele, what memories.

Answer 4

It has to be the 80's. Saturday nights main event, the Megapowers exploding at Wrestlemania V, Piper, Orndorrf, Mr.T...the 80's had it all.

Answer 5

In prefer the Golden Age of Wrestling when you have to really endure to be remain champion, you would fight a hard wrestling match and if you were hurt, you would have to come back the next day and do it again... until you lost the title.... I'm talking about the 1900's to the 1930's, one of the last guys to come out with that was Antonio Rocca and Bruno Sammartino.

Answer 6

The 80's. The Iron Sheik, Bobby Heenan, Hogan, JYD...It doesn't get any better.

Answer 7

90's for wwe during the attitude era (especially during the Austin vs. McMahon feud) for WCW it was also during the 90's when Hogan joined the NWO because it was the first time Hogan became a heel.

Answer 8

I'd say the eighties because it just seems like wrestling was much more mainstream. Its still popular nowadays, of course. But mainstream america seemed alot more into it then than they do now.

Answer 9

The 80`s and whatcha gonna do when hulkamania runs wild on you

Answer 10

90's
