My Top 5 Moments In Pro Wrestling That Shaped My Fandom.
Intro.
Ok were going to go way back for this list people. I mean waaaaay back, because were going to my childhood. So sit back, and enjoy.
5 The Montreal Screwjob.
This. Was. When my fandom wake up and take notice, of higher powers, not having a moral compass. I was always a Bret guy, and not a big WCW fan at this point. This gave birth to a time in history, that I took a lot of enjoyment out of, However nowadays the attitude era, has aged like milk under the sun.
4 HHH vs Cactus Jack Rivalry.
Agh yes, the early noughties WWF. Sunday Night Heat, being shoved around the weekly TV Schedule on Channel 4, here in the UK, PPV's becoming more easy to access, if you didn't have Sky TV, and then there was HHH vs Cactus Jack. I loved this rivalry, because it takes me back to a time that was, much more simpler.
3 The Rise of TNA.
I have so many great memories going to TNA shows, when they would annually make the trek to these shores. Agh yes so many memories. Me shaking hands with Dixie Carter. ( good ) Shaking hands with Bully Ray. (ugh) And of course, there's me shaking hands with Hulk Hogan. ( I have no words )
2 Watching The Downfall Of WCW.
The downfall of a company is never an easy thing to cover, and watching this unfold in the media wasn't easy, because peoples lives were impacted, and there wasn't a clear way for the industry to come through this hole, as a fan at the time, this was an emotional watch, and my feelings towards it hasn't changed.
1 The Rock.
If ya smeeeeeeeeeeelllll what The Rock is cookin, yes I smelt what he was cooking, and it was glorious, from his promos, to his insults, and his segments with Jonathan Coachman. Barry Manilow anyone. I love this man.
