What got you hooked? (self.wrestling)
submitted 2 years ago by ogsaint to c/wrestling
 

How long have you been a wrestling fan and what got you hooked? I always watched the WWF as a kid in the late 80s but really got hooked by about 1994 when I was 10 or 11. I remember renting the Coliseum videos all the time. I must have rented WrestleMania IV at least 20 times. I was always a big Macho Man fan.

The Monday night war, nWo, and Attitude era were all during my teenage years, and hooked me even further.

This is never ending, is it?

 

We're in kind of a renaissance age for wrestling with quality content everywhere, no matter what style you are into. Really it's too much to keep up with it all. What do you watch regularly?

For me, I watch AEW Dynamite and the PPVs (sometimes Rampage). I'm sure I'll add Collision to the schedule starting this week. I try to keep up with what's going on in WWE, but I only watch what interests me (and at least part of most PPVs). I also watch some NJPW here and there and most of TJPW's biggest shows. The rest is just whatever I can catch here and there.

What are your thoughts on this show? It’s fascinating to me to hear some of these stories from the wrestlers themselves, but sometimes it’s so harrowing. The Chris Candido episode broke my heart.

I was sort of afraid they were going to buy WWE outright when it was for sale. WWE Land at Disney World might have been cool though.

 

This could be interesting.

That's a hard question! There have been some straight up bangers this year so far. Omega/Ospreay is up there for sure, as well as the Danielson/MJF iron man match and Gunther/Sheamus/Drew. Elite/Death Triangle was fun too.
