WWF SUPERSTARS, WHAT WAS YOUR BEST CHILDHOOD MOMENT?

[BantuKnotz99]

Ill admit, ill forever be a wrestling fan although i dont actively watch it anymore,wwe is so different now. I really started to get into wrestling watch lex luger, doink the clown and yokuzuna. Experienced the monday night wars, but ive never seen a wwe superstars show.

What was it like watching it, and what time did it come on? Did it feel like different, and who was running the show at the time? Did vince mcmahon ever make appearances? Who was writing back then?

I remember when I first started watching it in the early 90s before Raw made its debut. It was on syndication and basically was squash matches. Some cool stuff in the middle 90s like the first Bret Hart and Bob Backlund match before their Survivor Series match. It started getting really good in like 1996 when it moved to USA and they would have bigger names. I don't know why they haven't uploaded it to the network yet.

Was more of a NWA fan as a child but this moment was huge as a child.

This

I didn’t watch it live, but my dad bought the VCR tape for me.

Hogan was getting his ass beat by Sid & Papa Shango, then all of a sudden Warrior’s music came on and the whole place went wild. shyt always had me hype as a kid. I was real young but I’ll put that over any moment of the attitude era

I never had a wrassslin moment when I was a kid.

As my favorite wrassler's were all tragically never the same. Or they always lost to flair.

I could say duhtay Rhodes.
Yet duhtay was so good.
Plus the first traumatic scene I saw as a kid. Where sumfin happened to someone and they were in duress like it was real life. So maybe it was the first time I saw duhtay win the title.
Yet it was from a place of relief. I would say. Where for a kid. Seeing him finally beat flair was just a load off of my young mind. Where as a kid. You wanted the world to be a good place and only one wholesome way. For you to be safe when you grew as an adult. Yet flair was as real life put together as could be.
So, flair being tv's and that era's actual real villain. Made for literally no moments of hope as a kid. So even duhtay winning the title never helped. For back then as far as I was concerned. Flair and the horsemen literally crippled my real hulk Hogan in magnum Ta.
So, wrasslin as a kid. Was always a huge transition from the animated good guy always wins life. To the late afternoon reality of what real life was more close to. When wrasslin aired as a kid back then. So back then with flair around. It was literally a universe i had to stomach. That the villain will win and how to deal with that. So, as a kid. Wrasslin was always this program I watched. Where I learned about disappointment and dealing with loss. As any and everyone I liked in wrasslin back then always got destroyed by flair.

I don't think I truly had a wrasslin moment, where it was definitive for me.
Not as a kid anyway.
When sting finally won it was a sigh of relief. Yet, how it occurred on the rollup. Still never felt definitive and the title run was arguably the worst handling of a superstar ever. So the payoff never paid off. Plus I was literally out of the age for suspending belief for wrasslin at that age too. Which was before wrasslin with shadows. So the move to wcw being more wwf like and phoney.
Ruined the sting moment.

Till Daniel Brian won at mania.
When I was an adult.

To watch him do.
what literally I felt was impossible and never going to ever really happen for real for real.

That was arguely my happiest moment as a wrasslin fan all time even as a kid.
ric flair was Darth Vader when I was a kid.

Hogan created phoney.

So. When I think about it.

I would say Daniel Bryan at mania was that moment. As literally I felt I was watching something I thought would never ever happen.


So to see it happen and be what it was.

That was my moment definitively as a wrasslin fan.
Behind that would be Aries title victory in tna. Then the belt collector series.
Followed after that with.
Let that bytch cry would probably be right after that.

Which finally I got to see Hogan owned completely and vulnerable. Which is what he lacked and why he sucked in every possible way all time.
I would not have re-invested in watching wrasslin. If rohtv on directv was also not the actual best wrasslin show that ever aired in tv history. So that also was the moment for me too.

As a kid wrasslin was so phoney from Hogan.

Or the complete opposite. The moment of dread for your heroes.
being terrorized to no end in every possible way by flair and the horsemen.
