We like it because:

There’s a reason 1997 is still one of the most talked about years in WWE history. It didn’t just transform WWE, but the entire world of sports-entertainment.

This special roundtable discussion pulls back the curtain further than ever before, giving insights into how it all went down backstage – and the superstars who would go on to dominate the Attitude Era.

There are fascinating stories along the way, such as how The Rock came up with his “Know Your Role” catchphrase, and what it was like behind-the-scenes before Kane made his epic debut in the first ever Hell In A Cell match. In addition, longtime fans will enjoy getting up close and personal with the legendary superstars.

It also delves into serious subject matters as they look at the fallout from the Montreal Screwjob and the real-life hatred for DX.

But it wouldn’t be WWE without some hard-hitting in-ring action – and this set boasts an incredible collection of matches. There are some Stone Cold classics – such as Bret Hart and Steve Austin’s WrestleMania 13 war – but also lesser-seen matches from Shotgun Saturday Night and Raw, which were just as important in changing the landscape of WWE.
A must-have collection for diehard fans, and an important lesson on the history of WWE!

1997: Dawn Of The Attitude will officially be released on DVD and Blu-ray on Monday October 2 2017.

We like it because:

It’s been a year of firsts for WWE, but nothing has been as groundbreaking as the first ever women’s Hell In A Cell match - a history-making moment that makes this one of the year’s must-own pay-per-view events.

Hometown hero Sasha Banks and Charlotte rise to the occasion too, in a match that’s as heated, intense, and brutal as any Hell In A Cell showdown from recent years. The ending is shocking too, creating another jaw-dropping moment in the Sasha vs Charlotte feud - WWE’s hottest rivalry of 2016.

There’s more sizzling Hell In A Cell action from Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins, who deliver an innovative, high-risk battle. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns and Rusev engage in a stiff and hard-hitting brawl that can only be contained by the unforgiving steel of the Cell.

It’s also a historic night for the Cruiserweight Championship, as TJ Perkins and his former mentor Brian Kendrick clash once again for the title - a match in which Kendrick lives up to his reputation as one of sports-entertainment’s craftiest veterans.

Elsewhere, Cesaro and Sheamus cement themselves as one of WWE’s top tag teams - even if they can’t get along outside of the ring. But can they strip The New Day of the Raw Tag Team Championship?

Don’t miss your chance to own this incredible event!

It’s WWE’s second biggest event in the year and a major landmark moment in the “New Era”.

SummerSlam not only crowns the first ever Universal Champion, but is stacked with the hottest young talent that WWE has to offer and the future of sports-entertainment – Finn Bálor, Sasha Banks, Enzo & Cass, Kevin Owens, Apollo Crews and Becky Lynch to name just a few.

There’s also a captivating battle between two of WWE’s most formidable veterans – Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton. They are two Superstars who trained together, climbed the ranks at the same time and notched up multiple championships, but have never faced each other on PPV. What happens between them is one of the most shocking and controversial matches in WWE history.

Check out a genuine match of the year contender as John Cena and AJ Styles find out who truly is “face that runs the place”. It’s a sizzling, heart-stopping encounter between two Superstars at the absolute top of their game.

In fact, the action is electric from top to bottom, with every Superstar pulling out the stops to make this an unforgettable night – and the biggest SummerSlam in the event’s 28-year history.

As the last Pay-Per-View before WWE officially began its “New Era” with an all-new brand split, Battleground was a historical event for sports-entertainment.

The long-anticipated match between all three members of The Shield was just as explosive as the WWE Universe imagined. And with the winner taking WWE’s most prestigious championship to either Raw or SmackDown, the result of match goes on to the shape the future landscape of WWE.

There’s even more great action – including a Match Of The Year candidate between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn – plus a genuine feel-good moment as “The Boss” Sasha Banks is joined by a huggable mystery partner.

The return of Randy Orton on Chris Jericho’s talk show is also a huge moment, laying the foundations for his SummerSlam match with Brock Lesnar, one of the biggest main event match-ups in recent WWE history.
