The Attitude Era was a time when things weren't PG as they are now. We had the most awkward segments, from some issues on TV, to some acts that were totally out of line and not for public viewing.

The language was good for adults, and so were the segments. This is a time still fresh in the memories of viewers from the era. It was a time when tag team action was way more entertaining than it is in the PG era.

From some left out teams in today's era, to some getting repeated shots, the teams in the Attitude Era made the day and entertained fans with their content and their way of storytelling.

There are some teams that are in the memories of wrestling or WWE fans and are still loved for their content during the era. So without further ado, let's discuss some of them in this article.


#5 nWo

A team of destruction
A team of destruction

This was the most controversial group in WCW and WWE and was loved for their ways of creating compelling television. The team originally consisted of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash.

They had fights with the best teams in the business and went above and beyond to provide good quality content for the audience. Their work was so good that at times, they were loved despite being heels.

Their fights with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and others made way for compelling television experience. Over the years they have been a force to be reckoned with and were also a part of the match between Sting and Triple H at WrestleMania 31.

While the team hardly makes appearances these days, they are still one of the most loved teams. Along with the aforementioned, the members had great individual careers as well. Some of them have become a part of the WWE Hall Of Fame, while some others wait for their turn to be in the prestigious group.

#4 The Dudley Boys

Do you remember the famous catchphrase,'D-Von: Get the table?' This catchphrase was the go-to word of the famous team in the Attitude Era that put a lot of teams through the table after they were done destroying them inside the ring.

After it was all said and done, all that was left to see was a ride through the table for their opponents. The team members are now a part of the Hall of Fame, and they still make random appearances for WWE on TV. The moment their music hits, the hype they receive, and the pop is way higher than most of the teams in the current era.

Have you ever seen The Bar or any other team get the same pop, as The Dudley Boys? I am sure few to none will be able to come up with suitable names to match their skills both in the ring and out as well.

#3 Two man power trip

Hell Yeah!
Hell Yeah!

Love them or hate them, you just couldn't ignore them during the attitude era. The two wrestlers were the foundation of the attitude era, along with notable others, but truth be told, it went a notch higher when the two decided to team up and form an alliance that would take the world of professional wrestling by storm.

It was the time when Stone Cold Steve Austin was playing a heel and joined forces with Triple H to take on some of the most notable groups in the business at the time. The most important and remembered feud during their time was when they did a personal angle with The Brothers of Destruction.

This angle involved a lot of heat, but it helped them reach the pinnacle of their performance and also become the best at what they do. They are legends in their own right, but this group was entertaining to watch as a whole.

#2 Brothers of Destruction

The most destructive team - Kane and The
The most destructive team - Kane and The Deadman

If you talk about the Attitude Era or tag team wrestling in general, you can't talk about either without mentioning this team. The group of two brothers that would take anyone down a trip to hell are good enough to instigate fear into opponents.

The team is the most decorated with The Undertaker and Kane posing as brothers, who would take no nonsense from anyone and would lay a smackdown on anyone that would mess with them.

It is this persona that has helped the company and tag team wrestling grow leaps and bounds over the years, and the duo was active until last year's Crown Jewel in November. Currently, the team members are not in the ring, with Kane working as Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, while The Deadman is not involved in any storylines at the moment.

#1 D-Generation X

We have got two words for you
We have got two words for you

You cannot talk about the Attitude Era without mentioning the most important group of the time, D Generation X. A notorious group that would take down anyone in their path if they didn't comply with their requirements.

A lot of people suffered their wrath, including the owner of the WWE, Vince McMahon. If you recall the segments Stone Cold Steve Austin had with Vinnie Mac, you would be aware of what segments the latter had with this group.

From a WCW takeover to mimicking the owners of the company and putting them through hell, this group did it all. While a lot of us remember just HHH or Shawn Michaels from the group, there were other members of the group too that gave their contributions as well, including, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and the most important member, Chyna.

She revolutionized the way women were depicted back in the day, while the group revolutionized the word 'Entertainment' in the Attitude Era and the WWE in general.
