1492ArticleHoju KoolanderThat's a good point, pikachulover. The Attitude era definitely pumped life back into the WWE in a big way. I personally feel like they are still coasting on that popularity. But the difference I think was that the 80's era was universally accessible because it was classic good vs evil, while the Attitude era was bad vs evil. Though it was a small percentage, I think there was a potential audience that was being alienated at that time. Nov 05, 2014View
1493ArticleVaporman87There was indeed alienation going on in the attitude era. Nobody wanted their kids watching that style of drama and violence.When Wrestling RockedNov 05, 2014View
1500Articlecomic_book_fanmy mom allowed me to watch the attitude era but if i got caught acting like anyone on the show then no one in my house would be allowed to watch it and my brothers would have beat the crap out of me if they couldn't watch it that was the same with shows like beavis and butthead as well i think the best era for actual wrestling as far as the in ring matches were 1992 through 1997 i was 8 to 11 years old during the attitude era.When Wrestling RockedNov 10, 2014View
1502ArticleHoju Koolander@comic_book_fan: That seems like a fair deal your Mom struck with you on that one. I had a similar situation regarding Married...With Children, my Mom was always saying, "Are you watching that Bundy again? If you start acting like that, it's going off."

1496Articlepikachulover@ Hoju You're from Newport right? My dad grew up in the Valley as an adolescent and he surfed and skated. In the 1960s and 70s. I grew up in the valley too; the San Gabriel Valley. :P I never skated, but it had a stronghold on my high school in the late 90s early 2000s. I think I've been on a skateboard like 4 times in my life. I was more proficient on in-line skates and 4 wheeler skates. The skaters used to think I was a poser because I loved skater music, but I didn't skate. I also really liked skater fashion. Wallet chains, wide legged pants(which I still wear today), crop tops for girls, and of course skate shoes. It was funny in high school there was a surfer teacher from Long Beach and he used to say "Dude" a lot. We would make fun of him for talking like that. Skate or DieNov 08, 2014View
1497ArticleHoju Koolander@Vaporman 87: Glad to hear that your board was functional ;) of course now we all want to know how to catch a glimpse of this band of skate hooligans that terrorizes your town annually. My brain imagines them skating at each other like a joust and meeting in the middle exchanging punches to the face. @pikachulover: Yeah I grew up in Irvine, which is right next to Newport Beach. I think 75% of skaters are posers (the fashion is definitely a big draw), but the hardcore 25% that hone their skills are really impressive. Skater girls are always cool, whether they skate ot not. FYI: There's a lot of great skateboarding documentaries on Netflix right now, my favorite is "Bones Brigade", which covers the era I wrote about here.Skate or DieNov 08, 2014View
