I was a wrasslin fan of 25 years and HHH's backstage politics made me quit. It would take a lot to get me back in it.


Papa H is beloved now, lol

Was a fan for almost 25 myself at the time (1980 - 2002).

After WCW went under I simply lost interest.

Lots of wrestling fans are so fickle.

While I'm younger, WCW going down is what killed my wrestling love until old clips on the internet came around. Check out NWA Power on YouTube if you haven't already. It has the classic old school style and feel.

WCW is garbage near the end. Why were you all still watching it at the end?

wcw in late 1999 was my first exposure to wrestling and then I kept watching, I have weird nostalgia for stuff like the New Blood vs Millionaires Club storyline

By that time I preferred WWF, but in my heart I would always love WCW. I watched it first and it just had something WWF didn't. The atmosphere and tone and style. Even when they just started ripping of WWF they still had a bit of what made it special. Toward the very, very end it started to get a bit better, but it was too late.

And a big thing will be if people would just fucking give AEW a few months to get going. Their shows have all been great so far, IMO, even AEW Dark on their YouTube channel

Also, New Japan is fantastic, but not one gives that a chance either.

So I think it will happen once casuals start getting to see AEW thrive, but to do that, they need a bigger name to draw those people in. I really do hope Orton ends up going there

I agree about the bigger names. A casual isn't really going to care about most of their stars.
