I've been in a Nostalgia phase recently and have gone back to things that i remember from my childhood. From Videos to Songs and even Images. Here's a few things that i've figuratively gone back in time with and wish i could live through it all again. I'm sure every Australian has heard this song. I feel like this was the anthem for every Primary School in the early 2000's, thinking back to it makes me miss it so much. I loved this ad when i was younger, it just made December 2009 - January 2010 that much better. With Christmas/New Years tied in with the hot Australian weather, despite the fact i had almost no friends at the time and didn't go out much, i was truly happy with life sitting inside playing with my figures while watching Fox8. I couldn't find a good video of the promo, but this song from the HBK vs Cena WM23 brings a small tear to my eye when i think back. This is how you build a match. My first ever wrestling game (kind of). My brother got it for Christmas in 2006 and i eventually played it with him, when he got bored of Wrestling, that's when i kicked off and figured out what my passion was. This soundtrack is without a doubt, the greatest soundtrack from any WWE Game. It set the tone for what Music i would end up loving and the type of Wrestling i love. Though SVR 2007 was my first game and my favourite soundtrack, SVR 2008 is my favourite Game of all time. By the time it came out, i was a full fledged Wrestling fan, i knew who i liked and spent a lot of time learning the history of Wrestling. So when i got this Game i spent hours a day playing it, trying to manage a successful brand, manage spending and talent as a GM at the age of 9. So this soundtrack holds a special place with me, in my opinion it's the 2nd best behind SVR 2007. To go with SVR 2008, the thing i love the most about this game is this render of Edge. I didn't like Edge that much at the time but his render was always my favourite, i just think it captures him perfectly, especially the hair.  As well as being a lifetime Wrestling fan, i'm always going to be a Dragon Ball fan, and these intros bring back fond memories of 2001-2006 To keep on the DBZ trend, the intro from Budokai 3 is my all time favourite. From the animation, to the colours & the fight scenes/matchups. As a kid, i always wanted this intro to become a Movie, Meta-Cooler vs SS Adult Gohan? It's a mismatch but damn it's a fantasy fight come true. Though it's not my favourite of the DBZ games, it'll always be my favourite intro. That's only a couple i've been going back on, i'll be coming back to update my post and add others i come across. What are your Nostalgia triggers? Something from your past that brings back the best of memories, post them and maybe others will share the same thing as you. (I think this would make a great Official Sticky Thread if any Mod or Admin is looking  ) |

I'm a very nostalgic person as well, I love reminiscing and re-living old memories. Part of the reason I love the Network, YouTube and the internet in general so much. I even ran a Twitter account called OldSchoolRaw for a number of years. It's still there but I rarely post on it now, just the occasional retweet of some old school stuff.
This might be my favourite promo theme song of all time, I remember it from Triple H vs. Steiner at Royal Rumble 2003, the show closing music video for WrestleMania XIX, the Raw after Survivor Series 2003 when it showed Austin's speech and I think they used it for the Hall Of Fame 2004 recap video at WrestleMania 20 as well. It's just beautiful.
This one takes me back to late 2002 at the height of my time as a football fan. From mid 2002 to mid 2004 I went through a time where I was absolutely obsessed. Brings back so many great memories.
3 great Survivor Series theme songs in a row. As a kid each year feels miles apart and totally different unlike now, so each of these respective theme songs remind me of different periods of my life because each year felt so different as a kid because a lot would change in a year. These songs make me feel very nostalgic
This is another beautiful production theme. Hard to believe this WrestleMania took place over 15 years ago now. I used to listen to these theme songs while wishing I could afford to go to a WrestleMania, now the fact that I'll be finally attending my first WrestleMania this year makes me want to listen to them from that perspective and feel the feeling of euphoria that it'll give me while thinking about the journey I've had and everything I've been through on the road to making this dream finally come true.
This was used in the opening of WrestleMania 19, possibly 18 too. It gives me goosebumps, especially the intro with all the wrestlers talking about what WrestleMania means to them.
There are tons more, but those are off the top of my head right now.

My nostalgia is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, GI Joe and their endless game of laser tag with COBRA, Hulkamania and the NWA.
I'm old. 😩

I saw the video for Sk8er Boi recently. That hit me in the nostalgia feels.

Also looking at old versions of WWE.com on the wayback machine. Now that's an awesome website.
Listening to old computer sounds on YouTube is another one.

I'm probably the oldest one here.... I like to google search images of George Hackenschmidt vs. Frank Gotch.
I was in the crowd that night when those two fought for the NWA World Title... what a moment!

Still use this as my ring tone.
The fact that the movies never used such a killer intro theme is baffling. Do it right, MCU.

I love doing that too, couple of months ago i went back and looked at some 2007 versions. I was at a friends house the day HBK returned in 2007, we sat at his computer for 20 minutes waiting for the homepage to load and when i saw that HBK returned, i lost my sh*t, ran down the hallway and told my Mum who was having coffee with my friends Mum that he was back. They were just about as shocked as i was I remember voting in the Cyber Sunday Polls that year, i'd go to another friends house and we'd sit there for an hour or so constantly voting on the same things (Though they didn't do anything). Good times... |

Good times... Jeez I feel old, I was 15 in 2007 and do not consider that year nostalgic for me whatsoever. I think my last 'nostalgic' year might be 2005. Casting my votes for Taboo Tuesday 2004 made me feel like I was part of the show. Same when I 'signed Mick Foley's petition' on WWE.com in December 2003 to bring Stone Cold back to Raw. |

I like to wear my Jnco jeans once in awhile. They're pretty much useless for any activity outside of standing still,though. Here's some serious nostalgia from my teens:
From MTV's twilight years lol.

First thing that came to mind was: Growing up, I was a big Garfield fan so when I heard that there was a cartoon, I was so happy. The problem, however was that the show would only air at five in the morning (I believe it was on Toon Disney) so I had no way of watching it but then my mom set the VCR to record it every morning so I never missed an episode.
Those were good times.

I used to like reading the Garfield comics in the news paper and re drawing them. Also anybody that loves lasagna and hates Monday’s is ok in my book. |

I loved this ad as a kid and still do, big nostalgia trip. The fact that they managed to make an ad for toys look and sound so badass still amazes me. |
