About This Quiz
Can YOU smell what The Rock is cooking? During the 1990s, the world of wrestling was cooking up All-Stars whose names would always be remembered. 91% of people can't name these wrestlers from the 1990s. Can you?
The world of wrestling is currently known as the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), but when it was founded by Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt in 1952, it was called CWC (Capitol Wrestling Corporation). In 1979, it would become the World Wresting Federation and the 1990s brought the Golden Age.
Led by Vince McMahon, the WWF had two weekly programs (Raw and Smackdown), and the company became well-known for their pay-per-view events, the most popular of which were WrestleMania, Royal Rumble and SummerSlam.
The 1990s would bring a host of wrestlers who helped propel the WWF. The first half of Hulk Hogan's career was winding down in the '90s and paving a way for The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Rick Flair. D-Generation X dominated, with Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Chyna. Half-brothers Kane and The Undertaker became known as the Brothers of Destruction.Â
While recognizing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might be easy, can you pick out Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero? What about Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle? Could you recognize brothers Jeff and Matt Hardy or best friends, Edge and Christian? We can't forget about the females Trish Stratus and Lita.Â
Are you ready to go a few rounds with this quiz? Will you come out with the belt or will you be knocked out by a sweet chin music? Let's find out!
