WWE WrestleMania: 5 great Attitude Era WrestleMania matches you may have forgotten
WrestleMania 18 in Toronto was one of the last events of the WWE’s Attitude Era.Sometime between WrestleMania 13 and WrestleMania 14, the WWE – then known, of course, as the WWF – entered a period of its history known as the Attitude Era. Marked by edgier storylines and some of the most memorable superstars of the company’s history, the Attitude Era helped the WWF defeat WCW in the Monday Night Wars.Those characters and storylines, of course, bled into the WrestleMania programming each year. Here are some of the top matches that you might not remember from that era that were good nonetheless.
#1 Dumpster match
One of the key components of Attitude Era programming was a increased focus on hardcore style matches, and who better to get involved than Mick Foley and Terry Funk? At WrestleMania 14 in 1998, the duo fought as Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie against the New Age Outlaws in a dumpster match for the WWF Tag Team Championship.
The elder duo won the match, and even if they only held the belts for a day, watching Funk put Road Dogg and Billy Gunn in a dumpster with a forklift is definitely something worth watching.
