Who would you say were the main guys of each era? Like who were the main reasons for its success (or it not being so bad) ?
Golden Age: Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Andre, Roddy Piper, Ultimate Warrior, Ted Dibiase
New Generation: Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Diesel, Owen Hart, Undertaker
Attitude: Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Undertaker, The Rock, Mick Foley
Would that be right? (I've probably missed someone really obvious)

Looks pretty accurate to me really.

Owen Hart and Ted DiBiase are both questionable inclusions, IMO.
They drew, no doubt, but to include them amongst their respective elite money-making groups is pushing it slightly.

(I've probably missed someone really obvious) Depends on when the Golden Age started, but most likely Hulk Hogan. New Generation would be either Bret or Shawn. Attitude would be Steve Austin without a doubt. |

I wouldn't include Owen but I think DiBiase is a fair pick.

What about Pre-Golden Age? I hardly know anything about that age. I would appreciate it if someone could have a go though. |

Hmm Pre-Golden Age. Ill take a crack at it, although I dont know much about it:
Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Superstar Billy Graham, Pedro Morales, Stan Hansen
And would you include Yokozuna for New Generation?

What about the current era? That's simply titled WWE current or WWE untitled.
Obviously John Cena would be a part of that, as well as Edge, but who else? Orton? Kennedy?

I'd probably put Luger in the new Generation. Granted he sucked, but they pushed him to the moon

Current, imo, would be Cena, Undertaker, Orton, Batista, Hunter and HBK.
And Vince, both in current and Attitude

Ah yes, injured Edge.

He was huge in the 70s as well. And I think Yokozuna should be in the new generation, unless that era started in 1994 which after Wrestlemania, his career started to go downhill. |

I wouldn't include Owen but I think DiBiase is a fair pick. Dibiase had a great angle with the Million dollar belt and he was a great wrestler. However, he is not on the same tier impact wise as the other people the OP listed for the Golden Age. Also, I agree with an earlier poster that Owen does not belong on the list. Ultimately, if one were to make a list from 1980 on who the main guys it would be Hulk Hogan from the WWE and Ric Flair from the NWA and later WCW. |

maybe you should put Chris Jericho in the attitude era.

For current, I would go:
John Cena, Batista, Undertaker, Triple H, Rey Mysterio, Edge, Randy Orton, and Shawn Michaels
What do you think the future will be?

since the current era is from 2001-present, I would include John Cena, Randy Orton, Edge, Batista, Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar, HHH, HBK, Undertaker, and Eddie Guerrero

You see, 2001 - now isnt current, it's just we dont have a name for 2001 - rise of Cena era.
I like to call it 'the Interim' - lots of rubbish that no one really cares about.
Well, at least that i dont care about.
