#FiftyMatches: The Last Night Of The Attitude Era


It seems fitting that the first opportunity to post two matches for the same date is WrestleMania X-7. For me, and so many other fans my age, this is the peak of professional wrestling. The build for this show was incredibly well done. Some of the matches were literally a year or two in the making. The card was stacked with matches everyone wanted to see. It's a great show, perhaps the very best of them all.

Watching WrestleMania X-7 today can be a bit bittersweet. This was the end of the World Wrestling Federation as many had come to know it. I've heard some try to argue otherwise, but how can you? This is the last night of the Attitude Era. When it was over, nothing in professional wrestling was ever the same again.

"How do you learn to fall off a damn ladder? You don't!" -Jim Ross
Feels like we were just here, doesn't it?

One thing these three tag teams definitely had not learned since their first encounter, less than five months earlier at WrestleMania 2000, was how to have a safer ladder match.

"...And what do you think of these young studs in the WWF?"
-Jim Ross

Like storm clouds gathering on the horizon, you could see this match coming. The definition of "high risk" in the World Wrestling Federation was being redefined by the Hardy Boyz, the Dudley Boyz and Edge & Christian.
