Grew up in western NY, so I followed it religiously from like 96' til it ended.
Went to a few shows. Specifically remember seeing Taz vs RVD and Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka live.
Triple A is spot on. Atmosphere is unreal. Would be scary for a 16/17 year old kid like me if I weren't immediately caught up in the atmosphere and screaming my head off myself.
Only thing that has ever topped those shows was Wrestlemania X-8. And even then, just the Hogan vs Rock match.
Was legit terrified of Taz. Thought he would beat the shit out of me if I ever walked up to him.
