hey guys.

didn’t watch wrestling for quite some time. last time i was kinda invested was when we had smack down for playstation 1, something like 25 years ago.

rewatched the legendary hell in a cell match from mankind and undertaker last week. since then i watched this years royal rumble and a few more events and was hooked again.

so what are the events, you think, i should watch to catch up?

    So, are you looking for a good place to jump in to the current product, or are you looking to see some of the stuff you missed along the way?

    If the latter, I heartily recommend you watch All In 2018. It’s probably the most historically consequential wrestling show since the final WCW Monday Nitro, and the wrestling is really good too. I would also recommend the first three seasons of Lucha Underground, since it was a show with a really unique take on what wrestling could be, and so many of its stars (Prince Puma/Ricochet, Killshot/Swerve Strickland, Penta, etc) have gone on to become some of wrestling’s top names. You can skip season 4; it was pretty clear the wheels were coming off at that point.

      the latter, for sure. was never a big fan of promos.
      should have been more clear, sorry for that.

      sounds lile a solid starting point.

      jumping right in was kinda tough. there’s a lot going on nowadays. wwe, aew, roh, tna, njpw.

      will have a look at lucha underground, for sure. saw penta one, two times already, cool guy.

      you know of some wrestlemanias etc, that stood out, maybe? as a german, i had to watch bash in berlin. damn, the crowd went nuts.
