Name the 3 defining stars of each era

[Deleted]

Who you got?

Golden Age: Hogan, Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior
New Generation Era: Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Undertaker
Attitude Era: Stone Cold, The Rock and Mick Foley
Ruthless Aggression Era: HHH, Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero
PG Era: John Cena, Edge and CM Punk
The Reality Era: Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton for some reason, Lesnar for some reason
The "New Era": Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose

Mind you that starting with the PG Era and beyond the timeline gets tricky. Everyone has a different response as to when the Reality Era took place. As to why I used this layout I used the Wiki page.

Nailed it 100%.

Switch Orton and Punk around and it's good

I'd replace Mick Foley with Vince McMahon in the Attitude era, and possibly replace Warrior with Andre the Giant

[Hit Girl]

Hulkamania - Hogan, Savage and Warrior.
New Generation - HBK, Bret and Taker
Attitude Era - Austin, Rock, and Foley
WWE Era - Cena, Punk, and Bryan

The next era will be the Post Vince Era.

Switch Orton and Punk and I think you are pretty close. Orton's biggest years were definitely like 05-2010. The years of the forgotten generation of WWE midcarders (Masters, Carlito, etc).

The thing with Orton and Punk is that many think the Reality Era didn't officially start until Punk left which is why I said when it took place varies so either way I'm ok with Punk and Orton switching spots. Some say it started when The Network dropped others think it started when Punk left and Bryan rose up during those few months but we don't know. What I do know is that Orton was weirdly pushed a lot during that time period because the company just couldn't make stars. I was really really struggling with that point because putting Bryan makes sense, he's a star. Putting Lesnar makes sense because he returned and beat Taker. Beyond those 2? Who else did they have?

That was a weird time period. I imagine that if they had legit stars to hold it down The Shield wouldn't have become single's stars as quickly as they did and would have had a legit face run a bit.

I'd switch Andre for Warrior as well as Vince for Foley but other than those two I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I'm just going to order these in five year spans, even if it makes them off by a year or so for some eras

Rock and Wrestling - Hogan, Savage, Andre (86-90)
New Generation - Hart, HBK, Taker (91-95)
Attitude - Austin, Rock, Foley (96-2000)
Ruthless Aggression - HHH, Angle, Eddie (2001-2005)
PG - Cena, Orton, Batista (2006-2010)
Reality - Punk, Bryan, Lesnar (2011-2015)
I call this current era, the performance era, (2016- ) Shield guys

[fw91]

Rock and Wrestling(86-92)-Hogan, Savage, Warrior
New Generation(93-97)- HBK, Hart, Undertaker
Attitude Era-(98-2001) Austin, Rock, Foley
Ruthless Agression(2002-2005)-HHH, Lesnar, Angle
PG(2006-2010) Cena, Orton, Batista (Edge just a notch below)

New Era- The Shield

If Roman keeps flaming out and Miz can get another legit main event/title run, I'd consider him for a spot in the "current" or "Network" era.

Attitude didn't start until 97. The New Generation label was used very much in 96. But doesn't change the 3 names.
