to a certain time or place in your life. wrestling related, of course.
I don't why exactly it's this titantron as opposed to any other one (maybe because I liked having McMahons vs. Austin matches?), but watching this puts me back in front of my TV as a 10 year old playing SmackDown on Playstation. Back when life was simpler and the RAW after a PPV was like heaven. Of course I mostly depended on Livewire, Superstars, and Heat considering my modest bedtime. And when I would go on WWF.com the morning after a PPV and cover the results with my hand and read them in the order in which they happened. Times were good.
Any for you?

I remember when I was in sixth grade, I went on WWE.com for all the results the morning after a PPV. I remember being so bummed seeing that Triple H retained the belt at RR,NWO, and WM in 2000. I think those wins kind of changed how I anticipate PPV main events. Thinking of any little thing from fall '98-summer '99 puts me into a euphoric state of nostalgia. Such a terrific time to be a young wrestling fan. |

Speaking of Titantron videos, I remember a year, it was Christmas Eve, my friends were all busy and my mom was busy cooking, I basically had to amuse myself all day, so I (at the time had a fed which I acted out with my LOD wrestling buddies) made a huge card and did an all-day event, using the videos from WrestleMania 2000 on N64 as my own personal 'tron. It was a good time for sure.
I also remember, I'm sure this was the same year as it makes sense timeline wise, on New Years night, I sat in my parents room with my action figures and my TTL 'tron which I had decorated with New Years toothpicks that had this metallic foil on the ends of them and those "2000" glasses where the middle two 0's were for your eyes, were hanging over the ramp, and I had a huge New Years Countdown event.

anytime i hear The M$M theme it brings back so many memories Do you ever get kind of pissed when you think about how they could've done so much more with the Million Dollar Corporation(94-96)? IMO, that was a sick storyline and they could've easily had Dibiase buy someone like Yokozuna to be the head guy... |

Every time they're in Madison Square Garden, I immediately think of Wrestlemania 10, and Bret Hart's music hitting. The crowd went nuts, but Owen Hart walked out instead, and the cheers quickly turned to jeers. I love that moment.
Anytime I watch something on TV that I saw live, like Austin being put in the Sharpshooter at Wrestlemania 13, or Chris Jericho debuting in the WWE, I float back to my reaction when I was in the arena. Really gets me nostalgic.

I always held out hope that they'd forget to switch over to the PPV channel and they'd accidentally start the PPV on USA and it'd be stuck there. I clearly had absolutely no idea how TV production works. Before the internet became the well known source for PPV results, the morning after a PPV was always an exciting time to go to school and find out from my friends what had happened. The one or two kids in class who actually got to watch the PPVs were always the most popular kids those mornings. |

Went on Spotify not to long back and looked up the anthology attitude era CD. Literally ever theme that came on I danced around the room like I was 9 again. Suffice to say the girlfriend wasn't extremely impressed.

As a child my mom used to take me to her best friends house in Connecticut and on our way over there we always saw the WWF headquarters.
Another is waiting for Raw to come on and hearing the PPV results. I remember almost crying when I heard the heel retained the title.

Anything that occured in the 90's always brings me back. Doesn't matter if its 'Bruce' From Connecticut, the syndicated shows, the old school PPV themes (Royal Rumble 91-92 is my favorite), and the list goes on and on. That's why I love and enjoy looking back at anytime in the 90's.

When I was completely computer/internet illiterate I went to my friends house and he showed me the titantron videos on wwf.com and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I also used to print off the SD spoilers and bring them to school.
When I couldn't stay up to watch RAW my mom would watch it for me and tell me what happened the morning before school.
