i used to piss my Dad off switching the channel 4 times in 5 minutes
RAW had priority until the random tag matches like head bangers vs outlaws. I definitely wasn't missing a rock, dx, Austin, val venis or godfather segment, so I stayed missing the first half of a fire ass Scott STEINER promo, cutting back to the crowd going crazy to ddp in the stands, or seeing THE VERY END of an nWo public service announcementSwitch back and see the end of a crazy ass beatdown and you'd have the
We went through this era without the benefit of social media/YouTube & streaming, which meant that if you missed a match or segment, you truly felt you had missed out. Nothing was more annoying than going to school or work the next day while everyone was hype talking about the big moment you didn't see. Your only hope was a 10 second rerun of the climax of the segment when the show returned from commercial, or a grainy, 30 second 140p video from WCW/WWF.com.
The NWO would be in the ring and you knew Sting would end up involved somehow, while over on RAW, DX was about to have a promo when they returned from commercial and you knew The Rock or Austin were going to make their presence known during it. You had to choose between Rey vs Juvie vs Kidman for the Cruiserweight title or Jericho vs Benoit for the IC title. Watching wrestling back then was almost stressful.
What a time.

that feeling you remember when you used to switch back and forth every couple minutes in mid 1997i used to piss my Dad off switching the channel 4 times in 5 minutes
then flipped back and forth every 10 mins in 1998
but by 1999 when WCW was pushing Hardcore Hak, most people just kept it on RAW by now
that slow death
