What is the Golden era of WWE? 

WWE has been through several evolutions in its illustrious and successful run in the entertainment industry, and there is still much debate on the greatest era of the business.

Several superstars have revolutionized their eras but there is still much debate on what the Golden era truly was. 

The Golden era of WWE is still widely regarded as the early 1980s when WWE was known then as the WWF (World wrestling federation).

The Golden era began officially in 1982 and spanned eleven long years with showcases from the excitement of Hulkamania to the sheer size and power of Andre the Giant.

The Golden era was host to the first-ever WrestleMania pay-per-view event showcasing superstars like the great Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and other great superstars.
