Which do you guys think was the better year for overall product?
Although '92 had some good moments, like Ric Flair winning the Royal Rumble and Bret Hart reaching the World Title for the first time, there were some awful crud thrown in (Ultimate Warrior vs. Papa Shango, Repo Man vs. anybody). '93 was decent beginning to end, I find, even though it wasn't the best year for business.
Thoughts?

Although I don't remember those years exactly considering I wasn't watching Wrestling much at the time. I know I didn't like seeing Bret Hart with the Heavyweight Belt, because he was only good enough (but still not in my eyes) when all the "real" Superstars and Heavyweight Champions were gone, example: Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, etc.
P.S. Repo Man only jobbed to good Wrestlers, so I didn't mind his jobbing, lol.

NO I LIKES 92 BETTER.
93 HAD LOTS OF STARS GONE WITHIN 1 YEAR HOGAN,WARRIOR,JAKE THE SNAKE,SID JUSTIS,FLAIR,BULLDOG,VALENTINE
HAD ALL LEFT AND PART FROM YOKOZUNA/LUGER THERE WHERE NO NEW STARS
A LOT OF FEUDS WHERE STOP START ROCKERS FEUD,LUGER PERFECT,RAZOR PERFECT,UNDERTAKER BEING WASTED ON GIANT GONZALIS
I THINK IT WAS THE CROSS OVER YEAR FROM HOGANSAVAGE ERA TO THE KLIQ ERA CAUSE I LOVED 94

I personally found 1994 pretty awful with only a couple exceptions. The Bret - Owen feud was great, and of course Razor - Shawn in the Ladder match. The end of the year was a lot better than the beginning, I found. The new characters introduced were just that ... characters. Thurman "Sparky" Plugg, Kwang, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. Good they had a garbageman, because it was time for someone to take out the garbage.

Also like 80s said, once they started getting those bad "characters" it started going downhill. I think "Doink" was the start of that era. Once I saw characters like that I was starting to think Wrestling was fake and lost interest. He would rather have those clowns than Hogan, Flair, and Macho Man, bad choice Vince. |

I always thought Brett Hart was rather stale although he was technically sound in the ring he was boring to me. I thought HBK was fun to watch then and Razor Ramon but beyond that it was really not much intrest for me but being a WCW fan also had lots to do with that as well.

I liked Razor Ramon a lot, but still, WCW had so many more and better Stars, and Scott Hall wasn't too bad either, lol.  |

Yeah 1993 was a good year with Flair and many others coming to the WWF and really putting on some good matches.
