One day in our lives, each of us has watched a wrestling program. Admit it. We might've been flicking through the channels in the 70's, and stopped momentarily and watched Hulk Hogan defeat the Iron Sheik for the World Championship. We might've flicked it on in the 80's to watch the the 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase spin his yarn about how he could buy anyone in professional sports, or Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan having his infamous quarrels with Gorilla Monsoon at the commentator's table. Or we might've flicked it on in the 90's, and watched Stone Cold Steve Austin drive a monster truck over The Rock's brand new Lincoln Continental, or watched the Undertaker's 'Ministry of Darkness'

Regardless of your opinions of the sport, those moments are one's that stick with you.

My question to you is, which era was best?

I wont hide it, I think the older times were the best. Listening to Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon commentate a match was pure comedic genius.

Bobby H & Gorilla on Tito Santana:
Bobby H: Did you know Tito holds a place in Guiness' Book of World Records?
Gorilla: Yeah? For what?
Bobby H: He picked 1,600 heads of lettuce in 1/2 an hour.
Gorilla: Will you stop!!
