What Do You Miss From Your Earlier Days of Being a Wrestling Fan?

[Rosie]

I miss the early days of being a wrestling fan when I wasn't as critical of everything and just say and enjoyed. I also miss when I was not forced to listen to people who are so bitter and blinded by their hard headed opinions they can't respect anyone else's likes or interests in wrestling and jump on every minor thing and either turn something somewhat positive into a negative or ignore anything positive.

Any time somebody mentions that, automatically the image of 3 minute warning beating the complete crap out of 2 lesbians pops into my brain.... that splash of the top looked so horrible for that tiny little girl

RIP Umaga

That shit was the funniest shit I've ever seen

That shit was the funniest shit I've ever seen

Not sure if I'd call it funny

Not sure that segment was to make people laugh, it wasn't comedy. It was a good segment but I don't think it's funny to beat the tar out of 2 women.

I miss being a kid that liked stupid stuff, like Hurricane and Eugene. I miss weapons being used a moderate amount, not rare like now and constantly like with hardcore shows, I miss personal storylines, I miss WWECW (I know, it was crap, but I loved it), I miss TNA being great, I miss the Main Event Mafia (original version), I miss Deuce and Domino for some reason, I miss old Matt Hardy (Broken Matt is better, but I still miss him), I miss Edge, I miss the Elimination Chamber, I miss the spinner WWE Championship for some reason, I miss the World Heavyweight Championship, I miss the am Smackdown Six, I miss The Boogeyman, I miss Big Show, and most of all, I miss unmasked Kane from 2004-2013

I missed all of that lol.

I miss being a mark. I figured out some things such as the moves being fake on my own when I was a kid, did not know how far kayfabe and scripting went though.

I miss this, the best WWE Title design of all time (in my opinion)

I miss tabboo tuesdays / cyber sundays. I miss Kane/Lita/Matt/Edge's so awful it was wonderful storyline. I miss everything Angle ever did (I did a slide show report on him in middle school thats how great I thought he was.) I miss themes with words in them. I miss JR and Tazz. Most importantly I miss chef boyarde comercials.

MEnh... they always doctored the polls

true, that was just right around the peak of my wrestling obsession I ignored the obvious rigging at the time.

Not having social media and interwebs spoil things. Seems like that is almost unavoidable these days. Even when they try to surprise us with a return or a signing, someone knows and then spoils it.

Agree one billion percent with this one!! I don't know how many times I've said this exact thing! That's the absolute WORST fucking thing about modern day wwe. The god damn spoilers. God I can't stand it. I avoid all wrestling bullshit online except this forum, which you can pick and choose what you want to read. I love this place.

Just imagine how much people would have popped if nobody knew AJ Styles was signed to the WWE before his debut, it would have been insane

I had no idea who he was or that he signed with wwe lol. It seemed like a huge pop though. Big enough to know that he's someone special atleast
