Sphinx Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Survivor Series '99. Someone at school had lent it to my brother at school. I presume they lent it to him because he wanted to see the Boss Man/Big Show funeral bit. He told me about it, I gave it a watch and loved it. Even at the time, I was underwhelmed by Big Show's win though. My memory is a bit hazy on whether I'd started playing WWF Attitude with my mate before Survivor Series which gave me the urge to watch it or whether that was the catalyst for playing it.Next event I saw had X Pac vs. Kane, and my sister let me stay up to watch it on Sky Sports whilst my mum and dad were travelling back home. They came through the door on X Pac's entrance and I got really embarrassed because of all the 'suck it's, and thought I'd be told off for watching it.Then I started watching fairly regularly from No Way Out 2001 onwards. Really loved the three stages of hell match at the time, though last time I saw it a few years back I was bored by it. Smackdown and Bottom Line on Sky One was a God send for keeping up with it all. The computer games kept me interested too, as well as having mates who liked it too and didn't grow out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Big Show/Bossman deal was at Armageddon 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 21, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2012 Survivor Series had Big Show taking out his team on his own just to get to Boss Man in a 4 on 4, then going on the the main event replacing Austin, and then having a 1 on 1 against Boss Man at Armageddon.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah the funeral segment was after Survivor Series 99 if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted May 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 This was the first video I owned - Â Â Yeah, same here. I could remember the commentary for Hogan v Andre in the steel cage, word for word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Mine was Summerslam 1989. It was a choice between this and WM II with some Christmas money. Summerslam won due to it being a longer event, having more people I knew in it and also because it came with a free doublesided poster. Anyone else feeling incredibly old reading through this? Not only are we talking about the defunct VHS format but also the long gone John Menzies and Woolworths - prime places for Wrestling goodness back in the day (I think I purchased the majority of my Wrestling figures from these two stores.)

Sphinx Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah the funeral segment was after Survivor Series 99 if I remember correctly. Â No, his title win was being dedicated to his dead Dad and they showed a video from a week or two before one of his matches where Boss Man towed the coffin away.

Dean Saliba Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Mine was a WCW video which had two tournaments on it, single and tag team. All I can remember is the single tournament had Sting, Ric Flair & Great Muta in it while the tag team one had The Steiner Brothers, Doom & Legion of Doom. Can't remember for the life of me what it was from but I do remember you earnt points for a win and a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I got Royal Rumble 1992 and WrestleMania 8 from my cousin when I was about 6 years old. Â Then Royal Rumble 1993 and WrestleMania 9 the following year. Â Bret Hart was always my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
