2009, definitely! 2007-2009 in ring wise were my favorite ruthless aggression years. In ring that is ignoring the outside shi*estorm that was going on but let's be honest 08-09 rumbles are definitely forgotten classics. Cena and Orton won their respective rumbles at the right time. Shame about their losses after

To me this was the final year of WWE in its prime. The PG era had begun to take over but it wasn't fully involved in every decision made. Cena wasn't completely Super Cena just yet. The HBK v Y2J feud was absolutely amazing. Orton was moving from legend killer to viper. Jeff Hardy FINALLY reached the mountain top. And most importantly, Santino Marella was the highlight of the night every single time he was on screen. "The honky tonky maneeee"

@@longboy7 that's why I said "completely". It was definitely starting/had started, but I wouldn't say it was at its full blown level just yet. I'd say 2008 was the last year before Cena became the golden one in the companies eyes. Before than he was booked extremely strong but when they flipped the switch to bring him to face of the company aka Hogan level, that's when it got ridiculous.

I think Armageddon 2008 was the last ppv I watched as a fan for many years. I was like 13 at the time. I remember starting to think wrestling was boring, but didn't realize the product went pg. It makes total sense now. All the wild must see angles stopped and it felt very vanilla. I figured I was just growing out of wrestling. Now at 28 I go back and watch pre 2008 shows and still enjoy it, but anything after not so much. I also believe the new titantron and led lights everywhere took away from the grittiness of the attitude/ruthless eras.
