With the other place going private, we’re here! This is basically an introduction post to introduce ourselves.

My earliest wrestling memory is having a recorded VHS tape of Royal Rumble 1990. I consider being a fan since the mid 90s around 6 years old. I loved Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Diesel. Royal Rumble 1995 is my favorite Rumble. Just one foot. I felt sorry for the British Bulldog, though. I thought Mabel was a good wrestler. He won the King of the Ring! I mainly watched WWF Superstars weekend mornings and Coliseum Home Video. I was “banned” from watching wrestling during the Attitude Era lol. I started watching regularly again in 2002. The Ruthless Aggression era and TNA 04-09 is technically the era I grew up on. Today, I mainly watch AEW, but keep up with what goes on in the WWE. It’s neat seeing all the young stars become experienced veterans.

    Late 90s for me. Found WCW Worldwide on Channel 5, then Sunday Night Heat on Channel 4. So I mainly got to see the jobbers & a few highlights. First proper memory was Royal Rumble 2000 which was on free to air tv in the UK, I had it taped and to this day Cactus Jack vs Triple H in the Street Fight is one of my favourite matches ever. Randomly flicking about channels on TV I found some very indy wrestling, FWA. It had CM Punk vs Colt Cabana on it, which showed me there was other wrestling than the big companies on TV. From that the Wrestling Channel Launched in the UK so I watched NWATNA (weekly PPV days were crazy), ROH and MLW as well as some Japanese wrestling, but it was all Japanese commentary, so I didn’t have the brain power to concentrate for that long. I’ve dipped in and out over the years, I mainly stick to watching AEW at the moment as there’s just too much to keep up to date with on a weekly basis.
