Nah. I liked being a kid at that age. Not being cynical about Stone Cold or Goldberg running through the roster. It was a really fun time to be a wrestling fan but I feel if I was a smark back then, we'd be having the same complaints as we do today. So and so not being pushed, so and so being overrated etc.
I'm glad it was real to me during that golden era because I got to enjoy it as it should be. I remember after the Rock joined the corporation at Survivor Series I tried playing it off like I still liked him even though he was a bad guy but that next night on Raw I wanted to see him get fukked up. I miss those days of being a wrestling fan. Being entertained by the product instead of constantly comparing it to some standard that it really can't live up too.
Agreed. I was 11 years old in 1998, and it was almost the perfect age to be. I was as die hard of a wrestling fan as possible really, and I wasn't totally exposed to the business on a "smark" level, yet. By the time the year 2000 came around I started going on forums and stuff and became a more "knowledgeable" fan.
Still, even before I joined the IWC, I was more of a fan of the heels than the faces. I remember rooting hard for Shawn Michaels at Mania XIV.. and I was a pretty Anti Steve Austin during most of his Attitude Era run. I remember being hyped when Kane beat him for the title at KOTR 1998, which I was in attendance for.
@ the Eddie Guerrero vs. Otani match brehs. Action packed and super clean, had me 
the whole match. I need to see more Otani matches, I know nothing of this man, but his ring work was 
and they were saying he was only 24 at the time.
