Royal Rumble 1991

I can barely remember the matches before the Rumble (I think maybe Warrior and Slaughter fought) but the Rumble itself was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. From start to finish it was exciting. L.O.D eliminating The Undertaker, Luke from the Bushwackers getting eliminated as soon as he got in the ring etc..

I think I saw a few events every so often with the last probably being Wrestlemaina 2003, after Yokozuna won the Rumble won the title and Hogan won the belt of him.

Fast forward to Wrestlemanina 13. Cable had arrived in Sunderland maybe a month before and a lot of my friends had been getting it installed. One day after Wreslemaina 13, one of my mates comes in and announces that Wrestling "looks real now" (in reference to the Bre Hart/Austin fight). Which got a few of us interested because we were all passed the corny wrestling from the early 90's.

A few of us started watching in our ring of friends with one taking the piss. Incidentally, he ended up getting cable and started watching and became a massive fan.

Present day there's only really two of us that watch weekly but a few others take a slight interest.

Man did that Warrior/Slaughter extremely piss me off when I was little. Fk'n Savage with his Septar and Slaughter with his lame ass elbow drop to pin Warrior. Sorry.

WCW back in late '96. I remember watching wrestling when i was a kid and my favorite wrestler was Sting. I went to a couple of house shows and went nutz when he came out. Then i stopped watching it for a while because of VIDEO GAMES..(yea, i was a game freak, but who wasn't once in their life?) But i remember one of my friends saying something about how Sting is a traitor..i guess relating back to when "Sting & Fake Sting" angle but i watched it and couldn't take my eyes of it ever since then...still to this day Sting....& DDP/Rock is my fav. wrestler(s). I especially loved the "Crow" gimmick...damn those were good times!!
