the undertaker was the last of the golden era of wrestling

[andyray]

i got the feeling from vince's speech that he even felt this was the last of the 'good old days' of wrestling

and now it's over

we're just left with watered down chit and the 'starpower' of the roster gets progressively worse year after year

[BigDeeps01]

Jericho is the last one really left now

[ChristmasFnatic]

He shouldve passed his powers to someone new. There must always be an Undertaker!!!

[LiftBigEatBig]

When did Vince speak? I haven't watched in a few months.

I think his brother is also a wrestler. Maybe he can take over the family legacy

The hologram of Paul bearer at the end gave me strong chills.
I thought it was great.

Sure they piped in crowd reactions and that is likely how the crowd would have been during his final moments in the business. But I agree with what People said is that it’s a shame because taker deserved a real live crowd.

The Paul bearer hologram would’ve received a huge pop and been surreal to see live.

When did Vince speak? I haven't watched in a few months.

At Survivor Series, he introduced The Deadman.

He looked old.

He looked old.

He'll still get the hall of fame and walk out at the WM. in fact i'm sure there will be a few more appearances at anniversary shows etc

this was just an official announcement that he won't be wrestling anymore



yeh Vince has aged A LOT in the past 5 years or so, especially since he only makes sporadic appearances here and there so when you see him it's even more noticable

he genuinely looked sad that this was the last of what was great about the wwf/wwe

yes there will always be pro wrestling but the golden years are long gone (and you could see vince knows that)

"Golden Era" is a phrase referring to the 1980-1992 period, when Hogan, Warrior, Andre, & Savage were on top. It was the period before the New Generation Era. Undertaker debuted in 1991, feuded with the aforesaid names, and is a part of the Golden Era.

Jericho is not a part of the Golden Era. Jericho is an Attitude Era fella.

[Deathstroke]

Yeah Andy Vince was kicking Ronan reigns in his fellas and was able to take a stunner not too long ago. Now he looks ancient lol.

Undertaker was loved by Andre too. Taker said Andre had a storyline idea for him which he never found out as Andre took the idea to his grave.

I wish they at least would have had a pic together backstage Around that time. I imagine Andre would’ve been taller despite going down hill by that point!

[pandaboy89]

At one point taker looked like a lil panda

But Kane is retiring soon as well(if he hasnt already). So a waste of power transfer. And if Kane will then transfer Taker's power to another wrestler, it means it will be infused with Kane's own power. So he will create a super wrestler which is bad for business.

there is nothing left for them to do in wrestling. its time for the brothers of destruction to take over the GOP srs. Kane is already more qualified to be president than trump was in 2016. Taker can be his running mate and they can keep rollin rollin rollin into the white house in 2024.

Agreed, although I'd say the golden era was more 87-92. I started watching around '88.

whilst the golden era is basically the hogan era i was referring to the entire 90s and even early 2000s as 'golden years'


just compared to what it is now, it's night and day, similar to old simpsons vs new simpsons

i honestly can't even watch the current product, it is so cringe

90's Undertaker was the goat

After he went American Bad ass in 2000 he wasn't the same

They can't make characters like him anymore. It all felt so real in the 90's. Even in 1999 with the Ministry that was such a crazy angle.

I generally like your posts. But you fell asleep at the wheel with this post man. Now back to topic. If the passing of power was to happen it should've been a few years ago to Bray with his New Face of Fear Schtick and gone over at WM. It didn't happen that way though.

its a generational thing. don't understand how anyone who was a preteen or teen in the late 90s could like 80s hogan over austin or rock. besides our non halal eating friend.

But people who grew up in the 80s prefer Hogan. Adjusted for inflation, Hogan drew more money, sold more tickets, moved more merchandise than Austin (I think)

I hear ya man. I remember watching Harley Race etc in the 70's so I get it.

One might even say that Hogan is GOAT.

[Deathstroke]

One might even say that Hogan is GOAT.

One might say he’s full of little blue turds too. Well maybe he won’t outright lie but he exaggerates a lot ie was going to play bass for Metallica, has a 10 inch penis, etc. he gets his stories mixed up too in his first book the one he wrote in 2002. Aka year I found this site!

Always a fun read.

[HairyWBush]

it's going to be a much much much more of a sad day when Brock Lesnar retires. Undertaker's already been on this path for a long time now.

overall yes he did but at austin's peak, nobody outdrew him.

[badreligion]

Undertaker was pretty much the last symbol of all the eras, Golden, Attitude, Ruthless Aggression.
