How has wrestling changed. The 90s was my era.

I remember Steve Austin got ran over, that was the greatest cliff hanger

I remember wrestling was the high-light of my childhood. I was born poor, but Wrestling was something I cherised. I used to have two wrestling toys and copy what I saw on TV.

I never missed Friday night raw. Jim Ross used to keep me on the edge of my seat

I remember my mother surprised me with tickets to a Wrestling match. We had the worse tickets could hardly see the wrestlers, but it was a experience I will never forget till I pass.

The Rock was my favourite wrestler, but Steve Austin/ Triple H was my favourite character.

Friday Night Raw :laff:


Kingdom Rumble was the GOAT gimmick match, now they've watered down so much :smh:

LuchaMania was a giant spectacle were long feuds came to an end, now it's a bunch of cameos from part timers :smh:

This thread about to be a classic

Without context that quote is funny.

WWE Friday night Raw, I believe it came on 10:30 pm GMT.

I can confirm this to be true.

So once upon times in the mid 90's
Raw use to be on Friday's on the UK, for years and years. An edited showing at 5pm and then a second at 9/10pm. This is when Raw was an hour show.
Basically in the old days in the UK, Friday was the wrestling days, you had WCW on TNT which started at 7, then Raw would come on at 9/10. Before TiVo/Sky+ you had to decide whether to watch the rest of Nitro or switch to Raw. And then later on in the night you had ECW on Bravo. The most frequent wrestling in the UK was actually Japanese on Eurosport, probably shown 3/4 times a week.

And yes I'm :flabbynsick:

Yeah, I'm from the UK

Sky Sports 1

That was when I used to catch it as well.

I remembered Big Boss Man being a cop character when I was a kid. When I started watching it on Fridays I was :damn:at what the system had turned him into. Or maybe he was always :demonic:and he waited till he had tenure to go full 'Bad Lieutennant' :ohhh:

That year they had the Rumble live on Channel 4 for free, though :wow:
