I was in the attitude era.

Now watch a Raw program here and there…but not the full 3 hours. Opening and ending only.
 
Just saw it live last night with my husband and son. Second live performance we’ve seen. We saw the SmackDown roster–AJ Styles, John Cena, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Baron Corbin, Becky Lynch, etc. The Raw roster was in Anchorage, Alaska. I would have liked to have seen Roman Reigns, but my son (he’s 22) was thrilled to see Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton. He prefers the Attitude Era, too. Me, I like sharing something fun with my husband and son!
 
Used to watch quite a bit from 1993-95 and 2002-04, but not so much now.

Bret Hart forever! 😃

I have to agree with lenten ashes, I watched WWE from the late 90’s (When I was a child until 2008. Now WWE is just bleh. Predicitable, boring and a little to childish for my taste.

Peace

Watched it when I was living in Canada in 1997/8, and thought it was great!

These days, if I come across it on TV then I enjoy it, but I don’t go out of my way to watch it.

Amazing athletes, and funny scripts. 😃
 
Yes sir, just watched Elimination Chamber there a few hours ago!
 
I did impress my son when he first got into watching WWE with the fact that, back in the '80s, I attended a live match featuring the Von Erichs and got Kerry, Kevin, and Mike’s autographs (this was at Ft. Bliss, El Paso, TX… still can’t believe my dad bought us tickets, but I have no idea what happened to the autographed pics!) The look on my son’s face was priceless!

👍😃
 
I watched Elimination Chamber on the Network last night as well. I felt the Royal Rumble was a disappointment this year, and so was Elimination Chamber. Bray Wyatt should have been champion a couple of years ago IMHO.

I did go to WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta a few years ago, and WrestleMania 33 is in Orlando this time, but tickets are largely sold out and the ones that are left are way expensive this time around, which is a shame, because I would have liked to gone again.

Anyone think Goldberg will win the title from KO? 😃

I have a feeling Goldberg will win, Brock will beat him at Wrestlemania for the title, then enter into a feud with Braun Strowman; I really want Lesnar and Strowman to go at it, that stare down they had there a few weeks ago was class!

Yeah, I think it’s going to build towards Goldberg v Lesnar or possibly GB vs Lesnar vs KO. It would be sweet if Undertaker could get in on that as well.
 
I have been a fan since mid-2001. I started watching right before the Invasion started, so I missed the golden days of the Attitude Era. I used to watch every Raw and Smackdown without fail up until about 2008, and I haven’t watched the weekly shows regularly since except for a few short time periods, but I still watch all of the PPVs and just read the results for Raw and Smackdown each week. If Raw was only 2 hours again I would consider watching but I can’t sit through a 3 hour show every single week, that’s too much TV for me to watch. The quality of the shows is questionable at best in today’s age so it’s not really worth watching even if I did have the time.

There is the WWE Network. It has a lot of old school territories from the 70s and 80s. Plus they have the NXT brand and the cruiserweight only show. It’s really fresh and new.
 
The only time I used to watch was when my dad’s cousin was wrestling.

not really…

But some knew who he was. He went by the following names:

A.J. Petrucci
A.J. Petruzzi
The Bounty Hunter
The Executioner
Fracture Fransberg
Masked Assassin
Pocono Mountain Man
Sheik Fugan
Super Destroyer #1

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.J._Petrucci

His maternal cousin is also a wrestler: “Mean” Gene Mondo

Yes, I’ve heard of him. He used to be a Super Destroyer and was an ECW Tag Team Champion. It mentions that Gene Snitsky was a cousin. Was he someone on your side of the family too?

Snitsky isn’t on my side of the family. AJ’s dad was my dad’s uncle. Snitsky is on AJ’s mother’s side, so no relation to me.
