The face version of the nWo Wolfpac only lasted like 7 months. Also I thought the heel nWo Wolfpac Elite version lasted longer but it was only 3 months from 1/4/99 to 3/15/99 and everyone went their own separate ways quietly. Likewise, the revamped Four Horsemen...let's see...reformed September of 1998...then I think Mongo was gone by January, and soon after when they double turned Hogan and Flair, Benoit and Malenko stayed a team but just had a vague connection with Flair and AA from then on.

The entire attitude era was only 3 and a half years. From Survivor Series 1997 (arguably) to Wrestlemania X7. The Brock / Roman saga has been going on twice as long.

I remember in 1993 thinking Ted DiBiase and Hacksaw Duggan had been around forever and were so incredibly old and stale. Both of their WWF runs were shorter than Roman vs Brock

Both of their WWF runs were shorter than Roman vs Brock So many of the 80s wrestlers seemed like they were around for alot longer then they actually were

The Rock was only around (full time) from 1996 to 2003. That's a little under 7 years considering he debuted at Survivor Series 96 and then left at Backlash in April in 2003.
To put that into perspective, 7 years ago it was 2015. That feels like yesterday. Roman Reigns beat HHH at that years Mania.
From then to now... That was The Rock's entire run.
Crazy.

The night after Wrestlemania Night Two this year, if he makes an appearance on Raw, will mark 10 years roughly since Brock Lesnar returned to WWE. His run, even with long gaps, is 5 times as long as his breakthrough run which ran from the night after Wrestlemania 18 through to Wrestlemania 20

We like to joke about it, I know I do, but Hillbilly Jim isn’t actually still giving his HOF acceptance speech.

When I saw that the Sting/Darby vs. Team Taz cinematic match from last year was only like 11 minutes long and not half an hour I was genuinely stunned

Eric Young vs Robert Roode wasn't a 600 year long feud. It was instead only 593 years.

The entirety of Dean Douglas, from his first "grading" vignette to his last match, was about 4 1/2 months.

Cactus Jack's ECW run was only for 2 1/2 years (late 94-early 96), and his WWF run (as an full-time wrestler) was only 5 years (1996-2000).

I don't know if it counts, but I see it a lot nowadays where a feud is only 2-3 months in, but maybe because the tropes in it are played out, or the wrestlers in it have done everything they can do, you see a lot of "oh my god this interminable feud will NEVER END"

Hollywood Rock lasted less than 3 months but in that time he had a crazy run of marquee PPV matches. No Way Out v Hogan, Wrestlemania v Austin and Backlash v Goldberg.

It's crazy that he was pretty much done full time at the age of 30 when most wrestlers hit their prime in their mid 30's.

It seems longer because it was during an era where cable TV was more of a central entertainment hub. You didn’t have the hi-def streaming or DVR, so one had to either tune in each week to get their fill of wrestling content and storylines or tape it, or you were out of luck until someone posted a low quality clip. Nah, I think it's more to how the passing of time changes as you age. A year feels a hell of a lot longer when you've only had 10 of them. That could be true as well, especially if you were a kid/teen during that time, but I think another reason why the Attitude Era seems longer than it was was because you weren't oversaturated with so much content. From 1998 to most of 1999, the only access you had to it was RAW that was two hours, and then you had hour long B shows such as Shotgun Saturday Night and Sunday Night Heat. In addition you had Livewire as a recap show just to give you a taste of what you might've missed the previous Monday. This isn't even taking into consideration monthly 3 hour PPVs. All of this was BEFORE the introduction of Smackdown, so if you blinked you missed everything. Not to mention the internet was in it's infancy and channels like youtube weren't available. You basically had to have a family member or friend tape it for you on VHS to get caught up.
All this made it more special since you didn't have 24/7 access to it. Pretty much the very definition of "less is more."

Both of their WWF runs were shorter than Roman vs Brock So many of the 80s wrestlers seemed like they were around for alot longer then they actually were I have to think a lot of that is due to the overall presentation of the WWF changing a lot from 1984 through 1994 or so; the cameras they used, the way matches were shot, the sets for promos or segments, the graphics they used to present the TV shows, etc. all seemed to change quite a bit on a fairly regular basis, making even just a span of a year feel like it's own mini "era". Today, if you transported someone from 2002 to 2022 and showed them an episode of Raw, they'd be forgiven if they didn't really see a whole ton of difference in presentation outside of HD effects.
