You know, the one thing we can't overcome is time. Time will always come and go and the things that we enjoy will ALWAYS sink into the past.

If you were able to go back and relive a wrestling period or a wrestling show, what would you do?

For me, I'd go back to the late 80's and relive Saturday Night's Main Event. When this show was airing, my family was pretty poor. We didn't have cable. The only wrestling I could ever experience was watching Superstars every Saturday Night. So I didn't get to see big matches.

Whenever I would see Saturday Night's Main Event in the TV Guide, I would be ecstatic. I'd watch it and it was a better feeling than the majority of PPVs have been since. Although I don't want to be poor again and I don't want to be without cable and the internet, sometimes I think I'd give anything to go back in time and appreciate SNME like I used to.

So if you could go back and relive something in wrestling again, what would it be?

I'd want to go back and expirence the full original brand split. I too grew up ( and am now tbh) poor and didn't have cable so I could only watch Smackdown since it was on basic TV. I used to watch SDlive with my grandmother every Thursday, it was great, good times.

I'd love to watch the No Way Out PPV where Eddie won the title against Brock Lesnar. I sadly wasn't able to watch it live and a friend spoiled it for me.

Stupid friend. He's on my list ever since!

Totally love to go back to 98-2004 time.

I used to watch most of the time or hear about it at school from friends but 01-04 I watched smackdown all the time. And I wish I could have seen the ppvs from back then. Never got to see them back then my parents never bought them for me lol

I would enjoy just going back and enjoying the feels of being a kid and thinking it was real. It was so much more exciting. That, and you didn't see all this social media interactions so it was like a BIG deal to actually talk to them.

Yeah I feel the same way. It felt so real and genuine when you're a kid. Not too sure how long ago you were, but even going back and watching from when I was a kid the action and storylines still feel so much more real and natural when I rewatch it 15 years later.

Yeah I have looked back on some of the older stuff I watched as a kid and it just feels like they tried harder. Not the wrestlers but the creative minds behind them. I know they had more say back then as well (wrestlers) so maybe that is why it felt more real too.

I would say living in America nad being able to watch RAW+PPVs and the Monday Night wars as it happened and in order.

Over here no cable, PPVs were on video no RAW, then we got Nitro but no WCW PPVs.

I was watching WCW 97-99 and I thought I stopped around Summerslam/Survivor Series 1997 but I remember seeing early Kane but not DX so the storyline is a bit disjointed for me.

I watched most of the 1992-1996 stuff out of order with no RAW. You could get 5 older VHS for a week for $5 or something like that and as a teenager (15/16) I got around $65 (job) a week in 1994.

RAW may have been on Satellite TV IDK.
