You just touched my childhood. How dare you.
Ahahah, I'm kidding. When I was alot younger, I remember being more interested in my WWF magazine than the fact that the twin towers were attacked. Sadly, I'm not joking, but hey, kids are naive (sp?). I remember when I first started watching at a friends, when Undertaker pulled Diesel under the ring in his cage match with Bret Hart at some IYH around the beginning of 96. Twas the coolest thing I had ever seen. Then I remember my first PPV that my folks ever ordered for me: KotR '98. I witnessed 'Taker and Mankind in the cell, Austin and Kane...SO MANY MEMORIES! I remember thinking Foley was dead after the match and that Shamrock should've lost.
This was before DVR and such things, and I also didn't record TV using tapes, so I went ape crap if I missed RAW. Ape. crap.
It really won't let me say s-h-i-t? Ape crap sounds...nevermind.

Remember when people wanted to win the Intercontinental championship? You were born in 1998, so you don't. Remember, growing up in the 90"s and your bed time being an HOUR before Raw actually ended? Staying up to watch the end was a rare treat for me and my brother; now I can barely force myself to watch Raw until the end half the time.....

- Remember when you didn't see the PPV so you had to wait until the WWE magazine came out with the full results/recap to know everything that happened?
No, because they always went over all the results on the next TV show
- Remember when you hated the heels and cheered the good guys, no matter how lame they may have been?
Not really, I always like Rick Martel and Jacques Rougeau as a kid, and couldn't stand Lex Luger
- Remember when a "push" didn't matter?
It wasn't so much that a push didn't matter, more that everyone was booked on the same level, and guys weren't booked to look weak all the time
- Remember when wrestlers using their "real" names were the jobbers?
Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Jim Neidhart, Bill Goldberg, Chris Benoit all say hi
- Remember the first time you saw a 5-star caliber match, and you didn't even know it was a 5-star caliber match?
The first time I saw Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon at WM X as well as Bret vs Owen, even though I wasn't familiar with the five star rating system at that time, I knew they were the best matches I had ever seen up to that point.
- Remember how good it felt when your favorite superstar finally won the title after chasing the heel for a long period of time while the heel actually looked strong?
No, because this never happened. WWF never really had strong heel champions. Most were either cowardly like Shawn Michaels, or got beaten around the horn like a drum, such as Yokozuna.
- Remember when nothing was spoiled?
Nope, there's been wrestling spoilers as long as there has been wrestling
- Remember the WWF Superstar line?
Even as a kid I was smart enough to know this was a scam

- Remember when you didn't see the PPV so you had to wait until the WWE magazine came out with the full results/recap to know everything that happened? Yep, loved those recaps too, loadsa cool photos and detailed reviews of matches.- Remember when you hated the heels and cheered the good guys, no matter how lame they may have been? TBH my favorite when I started watching was Triple H. I enjoyed Heels a lot even when I was younger, however I've always been a big believer of cheering Faces and booing the s*** outta Heels, purely because that's the fun of it.- Remember when a "push" didn't matter? Yep. Of course, that was because back when I was a kid even the Crash Hollys and Perry Saturns were interesting and always competing for a Title of some form. - Remember when wrestlers using their "real" names were the jobbers? Man the only jobbers in my younger days were KaienTai- Remember the first time you saw a 5-star caliber match, and you didn't even know it was a 5-star caliber match? Laughed a lot at this. Get this: the first time I watched Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit fight a two of three falls match at Judgment Day 01, I thought it was boring and too long. That match was f****** great. Suddenly one day I realised that lol.- Remember how good it felt when your favorite superstar finally won the title after chasing the heel for a long period of time while the heel actually looked strong? I was always pissed 'cause ABA Undertaker went all that time without the belt...- Remember when nothing was spoiled? God yes. Well it was by some nerds on some forum somewhere, but I wasn't one of 'em back then.- Remember the WWF Superstar line? Actually, no?feel free to add or comment lol good post.

I also remember when...
- Smackdown wasn't just a B show, but a continuation of that week's RAW
- They talked about the show and didn't ram social media down our throats.
- Big rivalries lead to big feud-ending matches, as opposed to today where gimmick PPV names lead to big feud-being-dragged-out matches.
- All the wrestlers (kayfabe) had a reason to turn up for work.
- Mid-card Title holders were not at the same time jobbers.
- Wrestlers looked afraid to step inside a Cell or Chamber because those matches would be career-altering/ ending.

I loved that part of the magazines. I used to write my own results, used to draw pictures of wrestlers. I loved it.

I remember when a PPV was rubbish to me because my guys didnt win. I remember spending all weekend deciding which taped PPV I wouldnt miss the most, then giving that tape to my Dad so he could stay up till 1am to record a PPV.... then a week later I would want to watch the PPV I taped over. I remember the monday morning, before school, fast forwarding that tape to the end to see who won the main event. (Why did I do this?!?!) I remember waking up really early on saturday to watch Smackdown (does anyone remember the guy taking a photo wearing a Kane mask cut in when someone was hit with a chair or something?) I remember when Raw was on a Friday night and I got to watch it for the first time! (Well half of it then record the 2nd half cos i had to go to bed) I remember being completely oblivious to the signs of who was going to win the Rumble, anyone could win that thing in my young mind.

I remember the monday morning, before school, fast forwarding that tape to the end to see who won the main event. (Why did I do this?!?!) lmao yes. Then talk all day at school about just the ending to the main event because you literally knew nothing else of what happened.I remember waking up really early on saturday to watch Smackdown (does anyone remember the guy taking a photo wearing a Kane mask cut in when someone was hit with a chair or something?) I remember that!I remember when Raw was on a Friday night and I got to watch it for the first time!

When I was 9 years old, I didn't know anything about the Royal Rumble except that Flair won. Then getting the magazine they had a full recap and it was my favorite thing to read.So you didn't watch any of the WWF TV shows immediately following the Pay Per View where they discussed all the results? You obviously were too old then. Or just tried to be "cooler" than everyone else. Tell that to all the crowds in 1990 - 1992 that were booing Hogan and Warrior and cheering on Rick Rude, Sid Justice, Ric Flair, Undertaker etc. When I was 10, I didn't know what the a "push" was. Thus it didn't matter.So it never occurred to you that certain wrestlers were never on pay per views, and only wrestled jobber matches, and always lost when they fought name guys? Funny, I don't recall saying EVERY wrestler. I don't recall Bill Goldberg wrestling on WWF Superstars. I can name about 50 guys who did nothing but get beat by faces or heelsAlso the jobbers typically didn't use their real names. They used real sounding names, but they generally weren't their actual names. my POINT was....when I watched Wrestlemania 10 I wasn't concerned with a match being "5 stars" it was just awesome to see.That doesn't even make any sense. No one is sitting around analyzing a match move for move to determine the star rating. A good match is a good match, first and foremost. The star rating is always secondary. Really? Million Dollar Man...Yokozuna got beat alot? Mr. Perfect? Ric Flair? Sgt. Slaughter?Million Dollar Man got beat by Hogan and Savage all the time, constantly. Yokozuna was getting beaten by Luger and Undertaker at all the House Shows and when he did win it was typically by DQ or due to outside interference. Mr Perfect would win when he was only fighting underneath guys, but he was still typically do the job when the big matches happened. Flair jobbed constantly. Slaughter was kept strong, but no one really bought him as a legitimate contender in the first place which was why WM 7 was such a failure. Again, when I was 10 years old I didn't know anything was happening before it happened. Stop it.Good for you, wrestling spoilers were fairly common, even in the early days of the internet. WWF doesn't run major PPVs overseas anymore, because Summerslam 1992 did a lousy buyrate which they blamed on spoilers getting out.
