How did yall sit through WCW shows?

[luckyse7enz]

fukk, man. I missed out on a LOT of sleep back in middle school b/c of WCW.

I'd start out by watching the first hour of Nitro and then flip back and forth between that and Raw.

I want to say that I'd intentionally miss the end of Nitro to catch the end of Raw because they had a Nitro encore at 2 AM. :notsure:

I'd go off to bed and set my alarm to wake me up after my mom went to work. Think I'd wake up about an hour or so into the encore and end up right where I left off so I could catch everything I missed.

My big bro caught me sneaking to watch it and eventually, he ended up watching it with me and then making me go straight to bed. I was a big Krispenwah, Goldberg, Jericho, & Kidman fan. My bro fukked Used to walk around school flexing my traps and telling my boys I was gonna start doing shrugs to get them "Benoits" and "Goldbergs". I think I actually taught myself to do moonsaults off my dresser after Kidman won the Cruiserweight title for the first time. Marked THEE fukk out.

Spoiler

Same when Goldberg beat Raven for the US Title and Hogan for the big gold belt. I was up at 2 AM like

That whole division was

1-900-909-9900...who remembers thaT?

Those were the greatest nights in the history of our sport, bytch

WCW was GREAT from 96 till about early 2000 man.

@ people hating on that era...it was the GOAT and FORCED the WWF to step their game up.

I never really fukked with wcw, there were some wrestlers to flip for

Guerrero, Jericho, and Booker but other than them it was all WWF

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Nobody really..look at how the reaction he got WM 2000 and Summerslam 2000. And the Great Muta in the early 90s was one of the gulliest nyggas of ALL TIME. That mist finish was excellent...the booking of Big Van Vader..the fukkING Dangerous Alliance(I fukkING LOVED that damn group).

Some of the stuff from early 90's WCW like the Dangerous Alliance, Austin/Steamboat and Vader was ahead of its time.

WCW was great before those years too..Flair was on a roll in the 80s. Sting coming into his own was great for pro wrestling. Luger was still decent at the time and I never fukked with him at all but they found many ways to fukk out on him never able to get the job done with Flair. Steamboat and Rick Rude's feud was great too. He beat the shyt out of Steamboat on WCW Saturday Night one time Rammed his face in that concrete like 10x.

 

[Nintendough]

WCW 95'-99' was the greatest program I ever watched wrestling wise. HBK, Bret, Austin, D-Lo and DX were the only reasons I kept watching the E.

Screaming Norman Smilay was a top 5 gimmick EVER.

Glacier was crazy over with the kids

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Usual Monday Night for a 14 year old Toe Jay:

Get home from school watch DBZ
Eat dinner and jump on Zelda: Oot
Watch Nitro
Jump on WCW vs NWO World Tour and play out storylines

*sigh*. Being grown aint no fun man.

 

[HamAndEgger]

I went to a Nitro during the peak of the nWo and that sh*t was crazy (Early '97). It got boring a couple years later, but during that time WWE had no chance against WCW.

LOL @ this...f*ckin La Parka

[OH SOHH TRILL]

i watched wcw until the end. seems they had better story lines top to bottom. most times, wwe doesn't give the midcarders story lines, they just fight over some third tier belt. and for some reason, I liked wcw production better. i can't put my finger on what it is but it seemed like the live shows were more clear than even the wwe hd stuff today

 

[Mr. Negative]

nikkas dissing La Parka.



You oughta be ashamed of yourself, b.
