The Golden Era of Wrestling (1985-1993). For those who don’t know, TRIPLE H AND KANE DIDN’T DEBUT IN THE GOLDEN ERA OF WRESTLING!!!

I never had the chance to truly experience the era, but just by seeing the remnants of that era makes me understand, more and more, just how ‘magical’ the era was. The Golden Era was called the Golden Era for a reason, it was the high point of Wrestling, when people bought into 99% of the storylines as they if they were legit and a time when kayfabe was not known about.

And despite both eras being PG, I think it’s obvious The Golden era was far superior because today, there is no such thing as kayfabe. All of the magic of pro wrestling that existed during the Golden era is nearly gone, and now the wrestlers appear as horrible actors (well, not all of them) trying too hard to portray their characters, placed in cheesy storylines, filled with matches laced with high spots and no build up.

Credit goes to sharpshooter82691 with his statement which explains just how great the era was:

"The Golden Era was the era of dreams. Not just for HBK whose dream of becoming a pro-wrestler came true, but because it was the era that inspired so many of the wrestlers we see today. Edge joined because of Hogan’s work. Jericho and the Hardy’s joined because of HBK’s work.A lot actually. It was the best era. It was all about families watching wrestling, before media and the internet came and corrupted the wrestling business. Back then, it was all about the fans and the wrestling (proof is that most of the great matches involve vetrans) and not the money, and I like that. Undertaker is the last great influence of wrestling in WWE with a passion. I hope that he spends more time by teaching the younger wrestlers and leaving some form of influence of that era. So right now, when Taker retires, It will be the end of the era. For good, but I would be happy knowing its Takers and I will be glad that WWE has moved on to making new stars, and it was guys like Taker and HBK who made it possible"

I know IWC marks worship Attitude Era like there’s no tomorrow, but without Golden Era, we would never have Attitude Era in the first place. Without Hogan, Andre, Flair, Savage, Roberts, Bret, Taker, Michaels, and Von Erichs we would never witness Austin, Rock, HHH, Lesnar, Edge, Orton, Jericho, Kane, and many others.

So, do u feel like The Golden Era of Wrestling contributed the most to mainstream wrestling than any era?
