Most of them, for a few years my parents had the illegal box so I could watch them. And then for a few years my brothers friend used to order them so I would go there and watch. But most of the attitude era was spent sitting in front of scrambled picture and listening to the audio lol.

Yeah after the Mae Young incident, they went to a 50min tape delay after that
Goin to bed @ 4am was alright still good enough for 4 hours but when it was finishin at 5 
Just glad it only lasted a year I think.I remember readin that they literally didnt know what they were buyin and the only reason why they bidded for it because wrestling was hot at the time. And I guess because wrestling hadnt been on free UK tv for a couple of years once ITV stopped showin WCW on Sats afternoons, they thought the product at the time was similar to that or they were jumpin on the bandwagon
Plus of all the channels to start doin tape delays and editin things out its C4 :
The amount of fukkery they have shown on that channel and they got upset about some make-up and fake comedy t*ts

Sky Sports picked back up the PPVs they dropped and that was the start of WWE on Box Office.

iirc it was only the UK shows that were on PPV before that whole mess, up till that point
WM 6. I really wanted to see Hogan go over Warrior. Back then, it was the scripple era when you put it on the PPV channel..I think it was like Channel 1 in San Diego or some shyt. The Toronto crowd was real loud during the match and I could not believe that Hogan lost that match. I was more of a Sting fan and never was into Warrior. I didn't like any of his antics except for the different colored IC titles...the White and Blue ones were WAVY as fukk

Not really. It wasn't as wide spread as torrents are today and if I remember right, PPV numbers were actually surprisingly high back in 95-96...even in their down time.How'd y'all nikkas do this black box shyt?

As for the box? I don't know really, too young to know who and where to get one. We got my bro's in-laws' box after they didn't need it. It basically unscrambled the channels - pretty much all it did. Which was incredible.

I used to have the black box that got free PPV so I saw lots of PPVs as a kid, unfortunately at one point it stopped picking up WWF PPV's and the first PPV I missed in like 10 years was Survivor Series 1997.
