2.D-Generation X EDIT: moved up 1 to 2nd place Dx was formed by Shawn Micheals, Hunter Hurst Helmsly and Chyna (being managed by Rick Rude) this was seen as WWF's 'answer' to nWo who were ruling the monday night wars in 96/97/early 98. This all changed when DX became the most loved faction in WWE history. employing extra members such as Xpac, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg - DX soon won over the fans with their antics. DX 'reformed' in 2006 and were the most successful team of the year. So much they are still producing their merchandise 2 years on. Even though this version of DX only included HBK and HHH this gave DX a whole new generation of fans.

Joint 3rd place The Rock EDIT: MOVED TO JOINT 3RD place This has not been a close poll at all. stone cold has been the deserved winner of this survey yet most posts have noted The Rockis a very close 2nd. And so he should be. Before the 'attitude' era Dwaynew Johnson was not a very popular superstar. The crowds shouted 'Die Rocky Die' as the were sick of Rocky Mavia with his goofy costumes coming into the ring. It wasnt until He joined The Nation of Domination alongside D'lo Brown, Mark Henry and Ahmed Johnson he didnt win over the fans. by this Time he was soley known as The rock and had be a maineventer in WWF/WWE until his 'retirment' (please dont let this be) in 2004. Since then he has made really bad films including Gameplan, Scorpion King, Walking Tall and Be Cool. His next release may be his best yet as he stars alongside Steve Carell and fellow wrestler The Great Khali in comedy 'Get Smart' It is also notable that The rock has won every title available to him and his the son of Rocky Johson and grandson of Peter Mavia, who he inducted into the Hall Of Fame this year, despite the rumours he would be perfroming at WM24. Perry Saturn. Despite being a sound technical wrestler and being part of the radicals alongside Eddie Guarreo, Dean Malemko and Sparky Plugg, Saturn will be remebr for is crazy antics. When he broke a jobbers neck Vince decided to give him oen of the silliest angles to date, after a hardcore match after a nasty bump on the head, Perry ended up befriending a regular kitchen mop. and chose this over his kayface girlfriend Terri Runnels. This angle includied soem of the funniest promo0s in wrestling history. and everyones favourite catchphrase 'Your welcome'

who reminds you of the glory days of WWF. which wrestler/team/faction/ person remind s you of the era known as the 'attitude' era? this spread from mid 97 to 2002 (or 01 according to some) discuss and vote!! Well personally the late 80's early 90's were my glory days of wwf, so i think of Hart Foundation, Hogan, Savage, Steamboat, Rockers, but for attitude era i think of dx, the rock, and austin.

Shawn Micheals *EDIT: MOVED TO JOINT 4TH PLACE* This is the man who caused the Attitude era to happen. ever since he took the WWF chmapionship in 1997 and broke Bret's heart Vince McMahon has been a super villain in sports entertianment. If this didnt happen the attitude era wouldnt of happened no rebellion from Austin to Mcmahon and then WCW wouldof won the Monday Night Wars. In 1998 doctors said Micheal Winterbottom couldnt wrestle again yet he returned in 2002 with avengence. Since he has been a key palyer in WWE headlining WM23 and retiring Ric Flair at WM24. Micheals was also known as the leader of D-Generation X (read on) Val Venis Former 'adult film star' and suprisingly has (currently) same amount of votes as HBK. Val has been through it all really from being a sex pest to getting his wiener almost chopped off by Kaientai to being voted as favourite to win the WWE title at No Mercy 2007. Val now looks completley different and is not as regularly on our TV screens now thqat Heat has been cancelled! Due to several injuries, Val has not been active very often but holds a Intercontinental title to his name! two words: Hello ladies!!

While the Rock was my favorite wrestler from the era, nothing symbolizes the Attitude Era more than Stone Cold.
In order:
1. Stone Cold 2. D-Generation X 3. The Rock

As much as I love The Rock, I have to go with Austin. He personified the era.

He didn't ask who started the Attitude era; he asked who personifies it. I say if we have to pick one person, it HAS to be Stone Cold. Nuff Said.

Whenever someone says WWF Attitude, I always think of Perry Saturn. I hereby nominate Perry Saturn to replace Snitsky as the new joke poll option here on the website. You're Welcome!
