  1. I would've been about 14 and it was a great time to be a fan at that age. I had grown up watching WWF and I was getting to that age where I had grown out of it for a bit. I remember reading in Powerslam the channel was coming and it just rejuvenated my interest in wrestling. I watched all the promotions I'd only read about, joined the TWC forums, started attending local shows. I started to feel not like a kid who liked wrestling but a "smart" fan (even thought I was anything but lol). But it was a great part of my teenage years and a great time to be a fan. I think I'm in the minority in I liked the short lived Bagpipe Report. Also the RF shoot interviews. To be a young fan who'd only really watched WWF and read Powerslam and the odd wrestling book, to now have all the choice and product out there was great.
  2. Did the green shirt "superfan" (sorry feel sick using that phrase unless it's old Vlad) make it over to Australia? Every PPV I watch I'm still amazed he's there in roughly the same seat
  3. Most legends things, for example- The gimmick battle royal. Anything post 1993 that had Bushwhackers, Sgt Slaughter, Brooklyn Brawler, Kamala etc. Also, the hardcore battle royal in 2000 (which may have been great or shite I can't remember, but I really enjoyed it) The 4 Doinks match Vs Bigelow's team at Survivor Series 93 was bad but hilariously good.
  4. All I can speak for was the show I was at (Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, sometime in 99) and it definitely wasn't Rikishi. 100% not Rikishi and I'm 99% sure it was Tonga Kid. He was billed as Fatu and I think the intention was for the kids to assume it was the former Headshrinker and "say no to drugs" Fatu, but it wasn't.
  5. Yeah that's right mate that's who it was. I don't recall much about the show, other than it was confusing who were the baddies and the goodies and it took a long time for the main event to start. I think Yoko had genuine trouble getting into the ring as the steps wouldn't hold his weight.
  6. First show I ever went to was in 99 and headlined by Yokozuna. It was a local show at the leisure center near me (the Magnum in Irvine), no idea who promoted the show. There's a pic that some may have seen of Drew Galloway as a kid with Yokozuna, which is taken from that show. I was aged 9, I enjoyed the show but with hindsight it was a bit of a mess, think there were a few turns and non finishes and fans were confused. Yoko teamed with Fatu, who I thought for years was a post Sultan/ pre Rikishi Fatu but subsequently heard that was incorrect, it was some other member of the family. Didn't got to another show till 2004. Saw on TWC forums Marty Jannety was coming was coming in with BCW. I would've been 13 or 14, wanted to go to the show but couldn't make it. Me and my mate looked out for the next show, which had Steve Corino. Had a great time and went to every BCW show for the next few years. It was such a great part of my teen years. Was lucky to see the likes of Drew, Wolfgang, Lionheart and others from basically their debut. Also great imports like Foley, Nash, AJ Styles, Raven, Dlo Brown. Not been to a show in more than 10 years. Grew out of it and tbh other things have put me off. If my son ever gets into wrestling like I did it would be nice to attend local shows again, with him.
