Did y’all ever tape any historical moments

[Love Sosa]

I have Shawn Michaels’ 2002 nwo return on tape (which I have no idea why or how bc I wasn’t dirtsheet savy back then and had no way of knowing).

I also have the first raw on TNN back in Sep 2000 with Stone Cold returning from injury and stunning William regal.

What y’all record? I was going thru my old tapes today. Sidebar, I also have the 2000 VMAs where Jlo was lookin fine af and Eminem performed with a bunch of look alikes.

Crazy how this stuff is considered history and I just thought to record it at the time.

Historical play fights

The last ep of Nitro


The NWO invasions in WCW where Nash launched Rey like a dart into the side of a trailer


Quite a few ECW shows

Can’t remember all exactly, but for me probably more WCW stuff than Raw.... cuz early on back then, I would watch RAW live and then Nitro

Due to not getting home from either b-ball practice or work till like 8:30 or close to 9

I have the majority of the attitude era on vhs

I feel like my family kept our local Walgreens in business off buying tapes

Recorded every Raw and SD from 00 to 04. Ended up tossing a lot of those tapes out but kept some.

I was really good at capturing great moments by accident:

- nWo beat down the WCW locker room (complete with Kevin Nash throwing Rey face first into a trailer)
- Stone Cold breaking Pillman's leg
- And then when Austin broke into Pillman's house who was brandishing a gun
- The big brawl that happened before GAB 97 (with Sting lifting DDP into the rafters)
- Luger/Giant vs. Hogan/Rodman - which really wasn't a match - just a beatdown pretty much)
- Luger vs. Hogan (the week before Road Wild)
- Kane's RAW debut
- Rick Rude's re-debut into WCW and then the announcement Bret Hart was coming to WCW
- DX beating down Undertaker and then Kane saving him
- Austin and HBK in the same ring for the first time in 1998
- DX invading WCW
- Jericho's debut

I got a lot of them on VHS.

EDIT - I also had Macho Man vs. Prince Iaukea on tape because I thought he was about to win the TV title. That was when he brought out every nWo member out with him, because you know, Macho Man needed all of the help that he could get against Prince Iaukea.

Raw after WM14

 

[richaveli83]

The first Raw on TNN
Mankind's first WWF title win
A bunch of ECW stuff from 1999-2000
Lots of WCW Saturday Night from 2000 when it got good when they had Elix Skipper, Chuck Palumbo, Mike Sanders, and a bunch of new Power Plant guys

A lot of Thunders and Nitros from 2000. Lots of fukkery.

A WCW marathon from 1994 that was called up all night or something. It was hosted by Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan, and forgot who else and it aired on TBS. It had a lot of classic WCW stuff from the late 80s through 1994.

Unfortunately most of it ended up being thrown out by my mom when I first went to college in 2003. I had stopped watching wrestling regularly at that point so initially I didn't care but looking back I wish I still had it, especially the WCW stuff because a lot of it is not on the network, dailymotion ,and YouTube.
