oh man, I remember those days all too well, and yes I miss those days so much.
I remember how the talk of Tuesday morning before class and during class would be what happened on Raw and Nitro. Everyone knew who all the wrestlers were, and like LC said, even teachers knew about Stone Cold, Vinny Mac, and the Rock.
When you went to the mall, a large number of people wore wrestling shirts....especially the infamous nWo shirts. I was always pro Black and White while others in my class were pro Red and Black. In home-ec class in middle school, the class had to sew something...so I sewed a pillow that wrote nWo 4 Life
I don't know where it is, but it'll sure make me laugh when I see it.
One morning I'll NEVER EVER forget was the morning after Survivor Series. To those that didn't see it, I told them what happened. We were all too pissed to think about anything in class. How could Shane McMahon fool us all and screw Stone Cold?! How could The Rock be such a fraud and just join McMahon with his new Corporation?!
Wow, LC, you made me dig back into the good old memories.
I can only hope that wrestling achieves a state like that again...perhaps with competition it'll come.
