Classic PPVs you couldnt order as a kid

[Omar Little]

Growing up, I never asked to order PPVs...this is pre-95. I would go rent tapes from all the old shows. This was my 'catching up' period since I had never seen the PPVs, we only caught Superstars here in Quebec on Saturday mornings.

Through 95 and 96, I was watching it scrambled - with occasional 'black box' night at my brother's in-laws' house.

97 - black box, my crib.

1998-2003 - DirecTV satellite dish - free PPVs, every month. that was amazing.

I stopped following in 2004, but I'd buy the occasional Wrestlemania. Came back in late '06 - early '07 when the Internets became my personal Chef and I been eating good ever since.

Catching everything live from Austin's KotR speech to nWo's formation...I was blessed.

Damn my wrestling following is like yours

First real episode I watched of Nitro was Scott Halls first appearance

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.

The one that sticks out for me was the King of the ring 98. I was when the whole class was talking about mick falling off the cage. My pops was a closet fan though, so I got pretty much ordered all of the major ppvs and a occasional IYH/mid level show
