10 Forgotten Gems From WWF's New Generation Era

When people talk about the World Wrestling Federation's New Generation Era, many fans will argue about when exactly the era started. In my eyes, it began once the majority of the 1980's acts like Jake Roberts, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and others parted ways with the company. Following the exodus, WWF then debuted Monday Night RAW in prime time in January of 1993 and would air vignettes about the 'New Generation' of WWF stars. Performers like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon were championed on television as being the new faces of the company. Due to this era not being commercially successful, a lot of great matches have unfortunately been forgotten, while only the major pay per-view encounters have seem to have stood the test of time. There are great bouts that people still regularly discuss, like The Heartbreak Kid and Razor Ramon Ladder Match from WrestleMania X or Bret Hart and Steve Austin from WrestleMania 13, but there are so many more forgotten matches that don't get the credit they deserve for how great they were and the important part they played in keeping the fanbase around at a very trying time.
