the height of my wrestling fandom, especially WWF. started watching in spring '91.
yea, the most f*ckery came at the last 5 months of the year. but the whole year was cooking.
this happened in the spring, and this was the beginning of the end for jake Roberts' face run.
Where should I start on The Network?
you might as well start from the top of the year.
sensational sherri trying seduce the warrior at the royal rumble had me like

as a kid when I saw the tape. then savage interfering in the chip match and cracking warrior over the head with the septa.
sgt slaughter's transitional title run was 100% f*ckery. they cant even re-hash some of the stuff he was doing right about now. burning flags and all that.
plus, the warrior/taker feud with the house show bodybag matches jumped off in the spring, along with Hogan/slaughter's desert storm bouts.
summerslam '91 was hard.
legion of doom was the hardest out.
Bret got that world title win pretty much outta nowhere
Shawn somehow got over using a backdrop as a finisher
ehh. for what its worth, that backdrop was a more credible finisher than the chick-kick.
as for bret, they should've gave the belt to warrior or mr perfect. well warrior ended up bouncing again, but still. bret becoming champion in '92 was meh.
The damn shame is that the Network still doesn't have Superstars up, which is where a lot of these big angles happened.
I don't think they view that show as a priority to the network because all the major happenings on the Saturday morning shows were highlighted on wwf primetime.
but yea, for the full feel of the era, they gotta start uploading shows like superstars & wrestling challenge. especially if you were a kid like me - I rarely ever made it thru a full show of primetime. usually fell asleep within the 1st 15-30 minutes.
they didn't show any of those 80s/early '90s Saturday morning WWF shows on the old on-demand channel either.
Wait.. Sid was a face at one point? I only remember him as a really evil super heel (like vs Hogan).
he came in as a face. and I think he came in injured.
by the time he started wrestling, his face run was brief. I just remember the royal rumble, and then the SNME tag match when he turned on the huckster.
my earliest memories of wrestling in this thread here
I thought you were like 14.
