Pretty self-explanatory. Who are some guys that you never really got to watch alot of and you wish you could go back and watch them in their prime? My top 3 would probably be:

Jake Roberts
Tully Blanchard
Bad News Brown

Ric Flair since I became a wrestling fan in the mid 90s.

RVD, Tazz, Foley etc. I wish I could have experienced more ECW in the mid to late 90s, but since I was younger and it was rarely on tv, and I wasn't exactly going to get my parents to bring me to a live event, I only saw things over the years on tapes and on the occasional late night tv. I used to follow ECW and their Wrestlers by reading wrestling magazines.

Theres other wrestlers and time periods I watched and loved, but I wish with how things are now, I could go back and appreciate them more.

Yea but as we all know its not the same. I can watch any attitude Raw on my old vhs tapes off of tv and all I want to do is go back and watch it live.
Same with the title picture in those years. I miss actually not being able to wait for PPVS, and god forbid I couldn't order it, I miss finding out results ASAP and being pleased.

I've been watching WCW lately in it's prime on You Tube, circa 97.

There's a big difference between seeing snippets and seeing the whole thing. Usually WWE will leave a few things out at least that should have made it in but didn't anyway.

Yea I've posted a few vids in the youtube thread and have made the suggestion that if people are interested they should subscribe to a user who is putting up vids from that time in WCW in chronological order (Nitros and PPVs)
