Eras of TNA?


.Legacy

Recommended Posts

 

and they still do today but no there a difference

 

when the brand was split in 2002 to what it was in 2008 in 2008 the brands mingle

 

they both use the same pay per views before 2008 the brand split was pretty much had no cross over other then some random fued each brand had there own pay per view with only there brand wrestlers minus the big 4

 

after 2008 they mingles so the brand split was pretty much going away and led to the universe era

1. No. What is the last time you saw a WWE Event or went to WWE.com?

 

2. No. The Tag-Team Divisions got unified in 2010, but that's all. Unless you're talking about that SmackDown & ECW talent exchange thing, which was still just between ECW & SmackDown. Raw was completley seperated from the other two brands.

 

3. So what? Because they didn't have brand exclusive PPVs anywmore there was no draft split?

 

4. You're totally confusing 2008 with 2011/12

 

umm no raw and ecw had a talent exchange in sept of 2008 mnm and hardys

 

just cuz they have the brands still doesn't mean there still a brand split if so I wouldn't be seeing smackdown guys wrestle on raw or raw on smackdown

The only era to have a definitive face of the company was Golden Era when hulk was the face. all other eras have debatable faces of the company. and AJ styles has been the face of TNA forever.

 

not really for me

 

 

golden was Hogan

new gen was bret hart

attitude was Austin

ruthless aggression was the rock

universe was cena

 

to me the only one debatable is new gen with hbk or bret but I chose bret

 

 

as aj the face witch is the only one I no of for tna but I don't think he is anymore

For WWE:

 

1984 and earlier - old school professional wreslting

 

1985-1992 - Golden era, Hulkamania era, Rock 'n Wrestling era, Federation era, whatever you wanna call it

 

1993 was a bit of a transitional year

 

1993-1997 - New Generation

 

1997 was another transitional year

 

1998-2001 - Attitude

 

2002 was a transitional year

 

2002-2007 - Ruthless Aggression

 

2008 was a transitional year

 

2008-current - PG era, Universe era, Reality era, whatever you call it today

 

 

 

But anyway, this is about TNA. and I've only followed TNA since like 2009 or 2010 or so, and I don't really know the history, so I don't really feel i'm qualified to divide that into eras

Golden was Hogan, no doubt. New generation, it was Bret at first, HBK the second half. Kind of depends how you split it. Attitude was Austin, no doubt. Rock has gone on to become a bigger star through Hollywood and all that, but during the actual Attitude era, there was no doubt it was Austin # 1, everyone else a distant second.

idk much about the new gen but wasn't hbk a heel at the time that the main reason I chose bret as I don't think a heel can be the face of the company

Bret was the babyface and HBK was the heel. This is around 93-95. Bret's the world champ at this point, second face of the company would probably be Lex Luger during the first part of Bret's run (see WM10), then Diesel around '95 (see WM11). Shawn really got pushed as a face once Diesel (Nash) and Razor (Hall) (along with Luger a year earlier) left for WCW

 

But he had been such a good heel for so long, it was hard to see shawn as the babyface,and this was around the time WCW was at their peak with the nWo angle, so HBK's run as the top guy was really at a terrible time as WWF was pretty much second rate at this point. It wasn't until he turned heel again with the original DX, and Austin got pushed as the main face that WWF really took off with the "Attitude" era.

 

So anyway, basically Bret was the face of the New Generation at first, then Shawn was for the second half of that era, but Shawn's run as the top guy came at the worst possible time as no one was going to outdraw the nWo juggernaut when that first started. So looking back, yeah, I'd probably put Bret as the face of the New Generation era.
