I pretend like the Red NWO/Wolfpack never existed. The NWO eventually got out of control. That said, Eric B screwing over Goldberg with the Steiner Brothers coming out from under the ring at Bash at the Beach, ruining his streak, and firing him is what made me turn off the television and never turn it back on.

Wrestling officially died for me when Vince McMahon bought WCW. Yep, went to crap right then. I used to flip back and forth between them and that was the highlight of every Monday. Then me and a bunch of other guys would each put in $5 for the PPV, get 10-15 people there and that buys the PPV and all the snacks and soda we would run through. We had a "Trash Day" where people could throw out whatever they wanted and it would get hauled away. Going through a divorce, one guy threw out his wife's furniture (she walked out) so one of our guys had us load it in our trucks and haul it to his place, put it in the barn at his dad's house. So every PPV we would all load them up, take them to whover's house was hosting, and then take them back after the show. Some of the best times of my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, plenty of knives in the chest before Vince with the death knell... Goldberg and the win streak was a BIG one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really little and my first duo that I became a huge fan of was HBK and Diesel (and they probably are my favorite wrestlers as well, though they're clearly not the best ) , and then seeing them try to grasp at this with the NWO for nothing more than nostalgic reasons just pissed me off to no end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's ONE MORE FOR THE GOOD GUYS... If you ever get the chance to watch the documentary "WCW vs. WWE" or "The rise of the NWO", it's AMAZING! I forgot about how shady Eric B was, reading off the results of WWE RAW that would happen that night at the very beginning of the show (the WWE used to tape delay instead of go LIVE), and half of the audience from RAW would tune in/go back to WCW. Ironically, what ended up killing WCW was that they cut/gave up on some guy named "Stunning Steve" of the Hollywood Blondes...who later became this guy: The WWE signed him, ratings went WAY up, and they won the Monday Night Wars and Vince bought WCW (moment of silence here please). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I was the only one into wrestling on Monday night, but whenever I'd mention the PPVs, my buddies would come running in with a few bucks - we'd crash a dorm room, play WCW v NWO on the N64 (it was the only time we didn't play GoldenEye on that thing) and then we'd get drunk and watch the PPW. My girlfriend at the time completely hated wrestling, but she was good enough to get me tickets to WrestleMania 17. Little did I know I was watching arguably the best WM ever...

Mondays wed have a good dozen people, (In Trinidad, very few could get WWE weekly then). Then PPVs wed have a rack of people. 1 ppv was on my birthday, so hosted at my parents. Bought cables and set the tv and everything up on the beach making it an all day and night event. Those were the best of times, when wrestling was hot. Nowadays, my 4th grader says nobody at school watches. So he has no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew the Rattlesnake. Austin was a demi-God out here. WM17 was a total pro-Austin crowd, and that was during The Rock's peak... it wasn't until Vince interfered that we all went "Huh!?" "You could read your Bible, you could read John 3:16 - Austin 3:16 says, I just whipped yer ***!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember all of the middle school/high school debates over who would win, Stone Cold or Goldberg. Basically, it turned into a pseudo WCW vs. WWE fan arguing point. To this day, no one will convince me that Goldberg, in his prime, wouldn't have given Stone Cold the Jackhammer. Granted, STING would beat both of them anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
