I started watching in early 99. I remember the first RAW I saw had Rock vs Mankind in a ladder match for the WWF title. Everybody in my high school was watching then, it was the "cool" thing. The whole Corporation/Ministry of Darkness/burning teddy bear thing really hooked me into it. When Vince "left" The Corporation, I was naive enough to think that Shane had really begun to run things. That's how into it I was. I only wish Vince (as much as I love his character and always will) was not the higher power. I jsut really loved the stables.

But those days are over, I wish that feeling would come back. Nobody who watched it during that time has continued to. But I have and I have also researched the past and stuff. When I first started watching I wouldn't have bought the Flair DVD, thinking all his matches were "boring". But I did buy it when it came out because I am more educated in what a good match is and how entertaining it can be, etc. I envy some of you who talk about LOD, the Bulldogs, Hart Foundation,Demolition, NWO forming, Savage, early WCW etc. I wish I watched during all those times.

I also only watched the first hour of Nitro and just couldn't really get into WCW (well, late WCW) that much.
