What it looked like switching from WCW Nitro to Monday Night Raw at the top of the hour during the Attitude Era.

Switching from Raw to Impact to see Orlando Jordan commit acts that would put him on Harlem’s do not allow entry list was a strange time

WWE was building for Shawn Michaels/Undertaker while Hulk Hogan was teaming with Abyss

WWE was building for Cena/Batista while Hall/Nash/Syxx and The Nasty Boys were on Impact

I remember watching the weekend recap shows Live Wire (Saturday I think) and Superstars (Sunday)

Livewire held a little breh down in 99/00. We had that hard bedtime at 10 during the school year when I was in second/third grade so i'd always have to sneak and keep the volume down real low to catch the second half of Raw. That's probably why I have stronger memories of Smackdown in that era since that ended at 10, while my best memories of Raw were the summertime.

When my parents upped the bedtime to 11 for 4th grade

I've always been a WWE fan first, but I stopped watching WWE after Hoegan turned heel and watched WCW only until the spring of 1997. I was a channel flipper until WrestleMania 14 and then never really looked back.

Real nikkas was not switching to no wcw during that time

RAW was terrible during the Shawn Michaels title reign especially after that summer. I have little recollection of WWF during that time except for the Pillman gun angle and Shawn losing his smile.

Bret turning heel and shytting in America got me watching WWF again

me too.. that was around February '97 or so... with the "bullsh-t!" promo.. the full heel turn completed at WM13 with his classic vs. SCSA.

The only other '96 sh-t i remember is the Goldust controversy lol

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Mainly only watched WCW for the cruiserweights and the early days of the NWO

 

[Qman11687]

i used to piss my Dad off switching the channel 4 times in 5 minutes

My mom would always say “I can’t watch TV with you cause I’ll get dizzy”

 

[Qman11687]

shyt, thinking about PPVs costing $30 and not being able to convince your folks to do it. But then we got that black box, channel 67

Being one of the only ones that could watch the PPV and recapping it for everyone the next day in class

I remember telling people that Owen Hart died, cats were

I was ordering WWF, WCW, and ECW PPVs all in one month, I couldn’t wait to go to school just to tell what had happened.

I don't think people talk about how much Hogan killed TNA's momentum enough, outside of the Hardy heel turn(which Jeff fukked up) and TNA ReAction nothing else good came from his time there. 2006-09 provided some of my favorite moments in wrestling, and a lot of them came from TNA.

Between 96 & 97 it was 80/20 WCW over WWF, but the real struggle was in 97/98 when you'd turn off the Truth Commission only to be met with a Glacier match.

Man in 2009, Impact was probably my favorite wrestling show, Raw fell off with the guest host shyt and I couldn’t get SmackDown in my area but it was so good and then Hogan comes in and changes everything, I’ll never forgive him for that

The guest hosting was fun when the host was fun, but overall it was absolute shyt and 09 is one of the worst years ever for the WWE. The Main Event Mafia and Impact overall was just a good overall wrestling show. It reminded me a bit of the Heyman era of Smackdown. It's forever fukk Hogan for his racism and destroying TNA.

I was fortunate enough that my mom worked with a nice woman who had a black box. She would record the PPVs for me and even introduced me to WCW and ECW.

Bret wasn't even shyttin on 'Murica. He was foreshadowing this shyt hole country. He was right then
