Your favourite wrestling memories?
I haven't watched any form of wrestling for over eight years now but was flicking through the channels and caught the back end of RAW. It didn't do anything for me and my Dad who was with me said 'I remember when you used to love The Ultimate Warrior'. This sparked off a search on youtube and some nostalgia of times when things were more simple.
What are your favourite wrestling memories? Here is a few of mine.
Ultimate Warrior comeback at WM8. 1.40-45 was epic.

Kane Makes His Debut At Bad Blood 1997

Undertaker vs Yokozuna Buried Alive match. He will not rest in peace!

and my favourite...
Shawn Michaels Zipline entrance WM12

All this shit was great entertainment as a young teen.
McMahon was an excellent commentator. Really got the moment across at pivotal points.

Mine would be Wrestlemania 3 at the Pontiac Silverdome. I was sooooo far away I could barely see the ring but it was at the time the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
I was at WrestleMania X, the first WM without Hulk Hogan. I remember going bonkers during the Razor/Michaels ladder match, and shitting my 10 year old pants when Yokozuna fell off the middle rope and Bret Hart pinned him for the title.

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
The first wrestling match I went to was in 1976. I was 8 years old and my brother was 12. THe main event was Andre The Giant VS. Ernie "big Cat" Ladd.
I remember we were standing outside the locker room to get Andre's autograph as he made his way to the ring. The next thing we know, he comes busting through the door and was running to the ring. He knocked my brother down (by accident) and he stopped and helped him up (didn't say a word), and continued running to the ring.
We didn't get an autograph, but my brother was THRILLED he got knocked down by Andre. We still talk about that! I remember thinking that was the greatest day of my life!

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
I know this is more modern....but when Rock got his big push in 1998. I was watching RAW and it was like a tag match, and Rock laid a rock bottom on the Undertaker. I was like 13, flipping out. You could literally feel Rock going from midcarder to superstar at that moment.
After that, I'd say Rock v. Hogan at Wrestlemania.

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
I was at Wrestmania 12, it was an awesome entrance for sure, and the overtime superkick for the win!
best for me two
thinking wrestling was real still, seeing Hulk Hogan vs One Man Gang 4th row, I fell for everything, Hulk losing, then Hulking up for the win was just the best
going to the Ultimate Warrior University day camp in Arizona in 95,,,he asked at the end of the day for a someone to get in the ring with him, he picked me, 1 of 20 or so. I learned the basics that day and was in the ring with him, taking bumps and a few chops on him, then he Warrior closelined me 3 times, and A Warrior splash!

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
This. Seriously, once I realized it was fixed it was no longer any fun. How adults get into this "sport" I will never get. When I was 10, I saw a great card at the old Ohio Center (Battelle Hall). They had great cards monthly. For whatever reason they rarely filled the 5,000 seat arena up, and there were never any television crews. This blew my 10 year old mind. Well at any rate, after a night of great fights, including a main event that saw Bret Hart and the Macho Man, and somehow Andre the Giant (don't ask for all of the details, I was ten) I thought wrestling was real "cool." Then, about two weeks later, the exact same card was on NBC's "Saturday Night Main Event." Of course it was in a different city on a different night, but every fight went EXACTLY as it did in Columbus. Right down to when Koko B. Ware got spit on by Big John Studd. That's when I realized that my dad took his son to what was essentially a dress rehearsal for a televised match. It was kind of like when you find out your fat uncle is the guy that pretends to be Santa. I never watched wrestling again.UtahRatt wrote:Growing out of that stupid shit when I was 12.

For me, it's a television show with simulated violence.
I enjoy it on that level. It's fun for me to watch the horrible stuff as much as the better-quality stuff.
I'd rather watch wrestling than some horribly-written, never-funny show like Scrubs.

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
And on that same point, one of my favorite wrestling memories was the moment I realized it was fake. I was 8 years old, and Bobby Heenan was wrestling Spike Huber on Sunday morning TV. I saw Heenan mouth the word "dropkick" to Huber and then Huber dropkicked him. I turned to my Dad, who was reading the paper, and said "DAD! He told him to dropkick him!!" and my Dad, without looking up from the paper, said "Yeah, no kidding....it's fake".

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
Yes, I realize that most wrestling fans realize it's fiction and they enjoy it as such. For me though, I'd rather watch well written science-fiction (Star Trek), fantasy (Highlander), or comedy (The Office.) To each their own. And although "pro" wrestlers have athleticism, I do not believe "pro wrestling" belongs in the locker room.Lardbucket wrote:For me, it's a television show with simulated violence.

Yes, we do get old and now it is shit. It can be puerile,offensive and degrading but back when we were young this was the shit. I know now McMahon is a cunt but then it was Heroes V Villains and I lapped that shit up.

And we've been over this "wrestling doesn't belong in the locker room" stuff a gazillion times now. This is where the mod determined it belongs. What I don't understand is people hating it so bad that they begrudge those of us who like it.
No offense...just how I see it.
Back on topic, finding out it was fake only made me like it more. It all made sense once I came to that realization.
I have WAY too many "wrestling memories" to start listing them. It's no secret it's one of my guilty pleasures. I love a good football or baseball game as much as the next guy, but wrassling makes me feel like a perpetual kid...

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
I was at the house show that Marty Jannetty and the 1-2-3 Kid beat the Quebecers for the tag belts a week before Royal Rumble '94.
That was nuts because title belts NEVER changed hands at house shows, where it was obviously not televised. I was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Jannetty fan and was was just getting on the 1-2-3 Kid bandwagon.
In fact when I went to WrestleMania 11 the following year I had a red 1-2-3 Kid hat and I wish I could find the picture of me wearing it in front of the parked WWF trucks. Just awful.
WrestleMania 11 SUCKED, incidentally. I was at 10 which was fantastic, of course. But 11 was just terrible. There were SEVEN fucking matches. Back in the heyday, at WMs 4-7 or so, there were like 20 matches each!
I do remember bumping into Chris Spielman in the big area where they kept everybody waiting until they let them into the actual arena at the Hartford Civic Center. Of course he was in Lawrence Taylor's corner for the match against Bam Bam Bigelow. That guy's neck was like 40 inches around.
I remember the ease at which my dad got us tickets for WM 10 & 11. I think he got them both a week or two before the event. Flash forward to around 2000 or so and it was IMPOSSIBLE to get tickets for anything. We overpaid to go to Royal Rumble 2000. That was the last event I went to.
Oh, and one more 'memory' that could have been... I was at a Monday Night Raw taping in October 99 where, on the card that they gave you with the program, Droz was scheduled to wrestle D-Lo Brown. They had to cut that match because of time constraints. Instead they had the match the following night at the Smackdown tapings... and we all know what happened then.

I was at an event and the Macho Man said that it was the best town he had ever been to. My friend who lives in another town said that the Macho Man said that same thing the next night in his town. I think my friend was lying to me though. The Macho Man wouldnt lie to us like that.

Re: Your favourite wrestling memories?
Sure. Then there should be one basketball thread, one hockey, one football, one soccer, etc. I don't remember anyone arguing that it is a sport; the mods decided the topic should be here and Utahratt has an aneurysm if the word "wrestling" is typed anywhere in the Lounge.Crazy Levi wrote:Shouldn't we keep this shit to the wrestling thread?

The mod is the one who decided wrestling goes in The Locker Room. I for one would have preferred to keep it in The Lounge where it always was before because believe it or not I agree with you, it's not a "sport". But I don't make the rules.
And the Wrestling thread is a COURTESY. Just be glad that most of us stick to it most of the time...
