Back in 1997 I would never miss a show...not even Livewire or Shotgun. I had a hard time staying awake to even watch Shotgun, so I'd always tape it and then watch it before Superstars came on. When I'd go on vacations I'd set a bunch of tapes up so that I wouldn't miss the weeks worth of programming. Back then it had to do with me being a kid (10 years old), a new fan, and simply because 1997 was an amazing chapter in pro-wrestling history. It was a good time to be a fan. Now that I'm older I'm not into it as much as I used to be. It's definitely of some importance, and while I do try to watch whenever I can, I won't blow off a Friday night with friends just to watch Smackdown...especially with a leprechaun and a big doofus as champion. I still buy the figures, some shirts, dvds, and the video games. It's been tough to remain as a fan since my cousin moved away and stopped watching/collecting, and then most of my other friends either moved away or I lost contact with. Wrestling is much funner when you have a bunch of friends to talk about it with...I guess that's why I'm on WF. There. You summed me up better than I could. I never thought about it like that (with friends making it better), because all of my friends stopped watching in 2002. I'm the only one left.  |

From late 1996 to 2004 it used to be my life...it was even more important then freinds....but now I grew out of it, not saying it's a bad thing if anyone still like's it, but I just can't get into it like I once did. same here but with me its been since 1993 - 2004. Wrestling will never be the same. the people who led our generation were names like; The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, The Rock, Scott hall, Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, X-pac, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Hardy's at there prime, Dudleys, Mr. Perfect, Sting and so many more. the people for this generation are; Lashley, Cena, Punk. Go figure |

It used to be a lot bigger part of me, but not so much anymore. I still have a love for it though.

Not AS important as it used to be( WCW days), but it's still a big part of my life.

I used to watch wrestling religously. Now I only watch Raw, ECW, and TNA. Most of the time I watch PPV's. I dont watch SD, where as I used to love it. Wrestling has completely died since 2003 imo. When I saw that Triple H video package last night, it really made me remember how much I ing miss WRESTLING....not the crap we our forced to watch now. |

From 99-02 and then like 03-04 it was the most important thing ever. Now? I don't really care about it.

It's consumed my life since 1997, but if I didn't start watching ROH back in 2004, I probably wouldn't be watching any wrestling anymore.
