YEAR IN REVIEW | The WWF in 1996 (Full Year Documentary) 

Thanks for watching, what we should we cover in the next video? Also, make sure to drop a like to help get the video picked up by RU-vid’s algorithm 💪🏻👊🏻🤘🏻

The 90s were dope. Period. Whatever you were into whether it was music, tv, movies, sports, art…whatever. The 90s were probably the most unified in entertainment because there was something for everyone and almost everyone liked SOMETHING from a genre or subgenre of entertainment they really weren’t into.

1996 wasn’t just a good year for WWE, but pro wrestling in general. ECW was running wild, the NWO was formed in WCW, and Stone Cold Steve Austin began his rise to the top in WWE. Also in my opinion, the Austin 3.16 speech at the 1996 King of The Ring was the beginning of the Attitude Era.

It's crazy how many times The Streak was almost broken before it even became a big deal.

I've been waiting impatiently for this one. Keep them coming! 😁

So 96 was easily one of the most important years in WWE pretty much.

Thanks Andy for letting me relive my childhood/teenage years!

The year 1997 is going to be a big one. I consider it to be the biggest turnover of creative and talent wrestling has ever seen

Despite losing to WCW, 1996 one of the better years of the 90s IMO. The Boydream Dream, Austin 3:16, Undertaker vs Mankind, Survivor Series, etc.

A transitional, yet pivotal, year in WWE's history. Good video. Hard to fit everything in within the given time I'd imagine.

I love how casual it is when talking about the Undertaker’s supernatural powers.

I feel like Dustin Rhodes doesn't get enough credit. His character Goldust was really the true starting point of the Attitude era, before that WWF was kind boring for a few years as it was transitioning from the Rock and Wrestling era.

Practically no one liked Rocky Maivia until he became a member of The Nation of Domination.

1996 the year that Bone Thugs-N-Harmony took over the music world and charts also the year that I started watching wrestling lol.

Now that you remind me of all of what happened…I still think it’s one of the most underrated years of wwf programming…

Andy, as a kid who grew up in Hawai’i, I had to stay up from: 2100 to 2300 every Monday night, I’d save money JUST for the magazines, and I would go to a neighbor’s place to watch PPV events on his scrambler for free!! Thank you for reminding me of what made me smile back in the day; BEFORE the pangs of adulthood AND the cons which my military service had: lifelong injuries… I really appreciate this brother.

I still remember the time, as I was just 3, & hated when dad changed the Cartoon Network for WWF, not realising the fact that this would mould our entire generation.

1996 was the slow climb back to the top for the WWF. All the building blocks for the Attitude era were there: Austin Rock HHH Foley Undertaker Glenn Jacobs Road Dogg Billy Gunn You also had the more "perimeter" guys like JBL and Ron Simmons on board too.

There's a mistake: at It's Time, Marc Mero defeated HHH by countout, he didn't get his title back.

It's crazy to think. If the click never said good bye to each other in the ring, we might have never gotten Austin 3:16

Not gonna lie, probably my favorite year of wwf…(this coming from a guy who actually like the NEW GENERATION).

Cant wait until you review 1997-2003 !!! 1999 is gonna be a awesome review hopefully its closer to like 45-60 minutes if not longer because there were alot good stories/feuds during the Attitude Era!!!! Im so hyped hopefully by End of summer we'll have seen your reviews on the Greatest 7 years in WWF/E (1997-2003) please take your time with these reviews because i feel if done correctly these 7 reviews could easily all reach the Millions View Count! Love your Documentaries BTW some best Wrestling Content on RU-vid period!! do you have cashapp or PayPal? if so please post links in about section or video description because id love to support you and donate! Cant wait for the Attitude Era Reviews I know they'll be worth the wait!!!

Everyone says Diesel was the lowest drawing champion but HBK was actually drawing less in terms of house show attendance and PPV buyrate

96 was the year i started getting into wrestling. cant wait to see 97 and 98

I actually just started watching WCW 1996 and on and I’m going to pick up WWF when I hit spring of 97 cause I heard that’s when we start seeing the beginnings of Attitude Era.

96 is one of my favorite years

These docs are outstanding. So much good work goes into them, but the presentation is so professional and almost ‘Behind The Music’-like.

See how magical clean audio can be for these bits? These are totally enjoyable because of the pace and audio alone. Thanks for these!

You gotta include wcw in the 96 review. This was the most important year in wrestling history imo

i love these Year in Review series! keep them coming!!!!

Oh yess please... The squad can wait online for me. I'm first watching this, 96 was my first actual year as a wrestling fan. And being pre internet in South Africa I didn't even know about WCW so this was all I had!

So then, I think, 1997 was my all time favorite year of wwf…

Thank you Mr. Andy. I have to admit, your videos have help me to enhance my vocabulary range, as well as the listening and speaking skills. Finally, your channel helps me to gain more knowledge.

Hell yeah! I know it'd be asking waaay too much, but I wish we could get the next 5-7yrs daily! Lol. '97, '98, '99, '00, '01, even 02, and '03 were all great years

Well done! Listen, I'm watching through the Raws of 1997 and so on, so I needed my history.

Great retrospective, Andy!

I’ll still always say the greatest thing HHH did in his career was the curtain call as in the end we got Austin

Great video per usual. Really enjoy this series

Love these! Great stuff!

Couldn’t wait for this drop!

Awesome video!! Still think Owen should've won the world heavyweight title atleast once. Also I find it interesting that Vince changed the finish at Mania between Undertaker vs Diesel 🤔 does that mean Diesel would've won that match if he didnt leave? No Doubt 1996 was a big changing point in the HISTORY of the Wrestling business!!

I also love these videos as well as all the documentaries you do so well done thanks for doing these

I look at WWF 1996 as two years, the first half being Late New Generation Era and the second half being Pre Attitude Era. It feels like a hybrid of both of those eras and that to me is why its so fascinating. You had some amazing matches during this time like Bret Hart vs Austin and Yokozuna vs Vader. You had Mankind vs Undertaker in the boiler room. You had Jake the Snake and Ultimate Warrior returning. You had Goldust kissing Ahmed Johnson and Sunny, Marlena and Sable dancing around. You had wrestlers like Salvatore Sincere, and Aldo Montoya (who teamed up with Jake Roberts) and Mantaur (who was still there as Goldusts bodyguard). And it was the year that Vince Russo started working his 'magic' too with the 'genius' move of fake Diesel and fake Razor Ramon. But overall I really enjoyed this year, its the time when I was really into wrestling as a kid. I thought Wrestlemania 12 was really solid too.

Love these man looking forward to the next one

I feel the Hart v. Michaels Ironman Match only gets called overrated by some because, when you know the outcome, the slow build drama of a 1-0 overtime finish is severely diminished. Though, I do have bias, as at the time I backed Bret Hart and my best friend backed Shawn Michaels. We had become friends over our mutual love of wrestling 4 years earlier, long before anyone else in our school got into it in the Attitude Era. So, the match has some strong nostalgia for me.

1996 was an amazing year for the whole world.

Great recap video

WWF in 1996 Rockz!!!

I just found this channel absolutely amazing work well done

Great video upload again enjoyed watching it look forward to the next one thanks again 👍

Wrestle With Andy 3:16 Said this video is freaking awesome So Watch this video by Wrestle With Andy about one of the most important years in wrestling history it's the year about the WWF In 1996

I wonder who the Marines where that beat up HBK 🤣

This was the year I started watching wrestling. What a great year

Your vids are legit quality. Any chance we will see a revamped look at the fall of Johnny Polo and the rise of Raven?

i still think you should make a video of Awesome Kong

One of the greatest years ever.

Great viedo keep up the good work

That was good! I really miss that stone cold he was a nut! I loved him and still do!

Good video retrospective of 1996, however just two small corrections. The date for that years Royal Rumble was actually January 21 and the In your house 6 PPV was February 18.

Been waiting!

Have been waiting 😁😁😁for this

These years in review are my favorite.

Great video!

Love these videos!

This is probably the most interesting year in wrestling

Can't wait to see them doing 2000,2001 and 2002.

I was at that wrestlemania 12 & met Yokozuna gotten his autograph & took a picture with him

This brings me back! It’s like goin to blockbuster again. Lmao But can we do some year reviews for wcw 1990-1999 🤔

R.I.P Scott Hall

Shawn Micheals wasn't beat up by a "group" of Marines, it was only one Marine lol.

Let's not forget 2Pac released his debut album on Death Row All Eyez on Me that went double platinum

Jun 96-may97 was the best year in wrestling

Love this Video series...❤️👍👍👍

Love these vids

AWESOME

Very cool channel. I just found you. Are you doing WCW & ECW years in review as well? Just curious.

First time i have heard diesel was supposed to go over taker in mania 1996. We almost didn't have a streak...

Great content

Hitman Always Delivered

LOVE these Year in Review Vids. Great to reminisce and even fill in some gaps in my memory 🤣 Keep up the awesome work. 👏👏👏👏

I miss the wrestling of the 80s' and 90s'.

love this series

Love the year documentary can u do more thank u

Wrestling in General was really good to watch, NWO in WCW, ECW rising up, and finally Stone cold and Rocky Mavia showing up in the WWF

Fyi Taker actually won that Buried Alive match before being buried.

Keep on with the year review vids

Need one for Roddy!

The Jay Z shoutout 👍🏽 😄

No one ever talks about the fact that if Nash did not depart to WCW there would be no streak.

Jay z really for music he was probably the last person on everybody's mind in 1996

I wish Vader did have a run with WWE championship. Bret Hart vs Vader at In your house would been great. Vader would still go over and drop it back to HBK at Royal Rumble in HBK hometown. I still pleased that Sid had a run with Title but you got wonder if Vader at least should have had chance with Title things in WWE could have been different in a good way had HBK not messed up those plans.

OJ did the race in 94 not 95 bro

I consider 93-95 to be rather stale for the WWF but this is the year things got interesting again.

Wild Man vs Faruq was a GREAT match.

Awesome

The fake diesel play by future Mayor Glen Jacobs

Would’ve loved to have seen a rematch at wm13 of hart vs Shawn then build up For either the Trilogy match at wm 14 or Survivor series of 97 but I know what would happen to stone cold’s push

Wrestling Bios and Wrestle With Andy both have their Merits.

The reasonable doubt reference earns you unlimited invites to the bbq

I was 12yo then . The Best time
