I’d go 1998, 2003 and 1997 (the last one for notorious reasons)
I also liked that recentish one where Jericho was on Team Raw and thr Shield were on opposing sides (I think Rollins and Reigns on Raw and Ambrose on Team SD) and they had a spot where all three put AJ Styles through a table.
2003 defo stands out to me. 2002 is good as well because it’s the first ever Elimination Chamber. Apart from its hard to a SS that really stands out as great.
People actually used to say the whole thing before but ever since it became Entertainment using the acronym has been the way forward for performers and fans.
Imagine someone saying “I’m the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion”. Would sound so phony.
Mine is the Shield are extremely overrated. I see people list them as the greatest faction ever and it just blows my mind. They were only together for 2 years and they only had 1 Tag Title run and one US title in the group.
The attitude era is quite overrated. The main event roster was excellent, but the mid and lower cards were average at best, and the way almost every title was hotshotted around meant that most of the title reigns didn’t mean much. I also think it’s aged quite badly in places, some of the storytelling is properly cringey.
Well, my suspicions about Impact getting some sort of cash injection got even stronger.

TNA is back(starting January 2024).
According press release they’re looking to use bigger venues going forward among other things.
Despite the old stigma for the TNA name, it sounds like providers were actually keen for Impact to use the TNA name again too.
I think WWE’s recent upturn, the writer/actor strikes and the demand for live sports may have caused a big demand for wrestling content again.
I wonder if Anthem are now willing to invest more TNA and take advantage of it.
TNA isn’t the only one. NWA secured a deal with CW as well which is actually a big deal for them. CW also has WOW as well.
