Last Call! Question 4 [you] - Locking thread so reply to me via PM only! - "Loverboy" Vinnie Lane - 11-29-2017
Yup I did the "you" trick to get everybody's attention lol sorry but not sorry!
Ok so I'm curious of the following!
Who here is very familiar with WWF's "attitude era" and a big fan of at least one wrestler from that time?
Who here is very familiar with WCW's nWo era and a big fan of at least one wrestler from that time?
Who here is a fan of NJPW (and/or other Japanese promotions) and has at least one wrestler in any of those promotions they'd consider themselves a pretty big fan of, current day?
Who here follows US and/or UK indie wrestling?
Who here actually doesn't follow wrestling?
Just reply and give me the details that apply to you, and you might be a good fit for a little idea I'm thinking about throwing together soon!

Pre-Attitude, I grew up tearing my t-shirts like Hogan and posing like Shawn Michaels. When I started to go into music(which I only did for a year) I had something like a tuba, and would play The Undertaker's theme song with it when I practiced. Then as it began to become the Attitude Era, I remember Bret having a bloodied Austin in the Sharpshooter and Austin going into unconsciousness. I remember when Degeneration X formed. I remember when Shawn and Trips had helmets with faceguards and wipers on them when talking to Sgt. Slaughter. I remember when D-X 'invaded' WCW.
I cried like a fucking bitch when Hogan turned heel. Like, full on crying like I was two months old again. I remember when Sting went from colorful facepaint like Ultimate Warrior, to the Crow Sting we all know now. I remember when the nWo branched off into the Wolfpac. I remember Goldberg's streak. I remember the Bret v Benoit match to honor Owen Hart.
Unfortunately I don't follow NJPW except for knowing the big names.
I do watch Lucha Underground and my favorite is and will always be Johnny Mundo. That man is absolutely great.
Question 4 Maddy and Engy - The Engineer - 11-29-2017
I followed the first two and that was it. I'm a huge fan of wrestling as big dumb carny bullshit so Attitude era was my shizz. I haven't watched any wrestling in years.
Question 4 Neville Sinclair - Neville Sinclair - 11-29-2017
What was the important question?
Question 4 Peter Fn Gilmour - Peter Fn Gilmour - 11-30-2017
the you trick is lame
Question 4 drezdin5788 - drezdin5788 - 11-30-2017
Obviously yeah it's been a while, but I did...off and on. What do you need Shane? All but the last two applies.
Question 4 Bearded War Pig - "The Wolf of Afghanistan" Joshua Schuler - 11-30-2017
Stone Cold & Road Dog.
Sting.
Never watched NJPW.
Indy, would Lucha Underground be considered? If so then Pentagon Jr.
Question 4 Grande Ricardo - Grande Ricardo - 11-30-2017
I catch sporadic Lucha Underground, and it's pretty solid. Don't follow it enough to have a favorite, really. Attitude era was Mankind, or XPac. Never really followed WCW. Can't afford the NJPW streaming, so I don't follow them.

I'm a little young for pre-attitude era, but I did get into it post-becoming a big wrestling fan.
I'd say Jimmy Snuka was a big one for me pre-attitude era.
Attitude Era Chris Jericho and The Rock make me gush every time.
Massive Bischoff fan from WCW, Scott Steiner too.
NJPW - Tama Tonga, Naito, OG Bullet Club and of course Omega's work
British Indy - I only really watch WCPW, and I love Barrett, Marty back when he was still there.
US Indy - This I'm less in touch with, and only really follow TYB when they do their tours.
Question 4 Peter Fn Gilmour - Peter Fn Gilmour - 11-30-2017
know all about the attitude era and NwO era.. fave wrestlers were Taker and DDP
Watch NJPW a lot
Big on the indies here in the US (mostly ROH, FBW and PWG)
Question 4 Grande Ricardo - Grande Ricardo - 11-30-2017
Does WCPW have it's own channel? I need to check it out, especially since I've been hearing that Simon Miller is gonna wrestle for them, or already ism
re:Question 4 [you] - John Madison - 11-30-2017
WWE is good. The indies are stupid except for Wrestlecircus.

They do. But I don't subscribe to anything WCPW after they fucked over the Adams, Jack the Jobber and King Ross.
re:Question 4 [you] - Finn Kühn - 12-01-2017
I rewatch some Attitude Era WWF when I can, and it was pretty good. I love Stone Cold, Taker, Rock, and Jericho from that time period.
WCW I'm less familiar with, though I was still a nice fan of Booker T, Scott Steiner and DDP.
I'm a huge fan of NJPW, and if it wasn't for the wonky timezone translation I'd probably watch their stuff live. I love all of NJPW's current Big 4 (Naito, Omega, Okada and Tanahashi), and outside of them I also love Hiromu Takahashi, Juice Robinson, and Minoru Suzuki.
I occasionally watch British indies like Progress and ICW, though I watch more American indies such as RoH and WrestleCircus.
Question 4 drezdin5788 - drezdin5788 - 12-02-2017
Hey Shane, this idea you speak of, what exactly is it?
Question 4 erikblack - erikblack - 12-02-2017
Wrestling in general sucks these days. It's always "look what kind of cool Shii I can do". There isn't much storytelling during the match. I long for the days of flair verseus steamboat.

Really consider watching some NJPW work. And I think NXT does some decent story telling.

This. Okada/Shibata and the entire Okada/Omega trilogy has some great storytelling among a plethora of others. Even down in NXT you had shit like Aleister Black/Velveteen Dream stealing the show at War Games.
Question 4 Guppy Parsh - Guppy Parsh - 12-02-2017
I watched TNA and WWE regularly from 2007-2010, from 2011 to now I only watch WWE/NXT PPVs really. I've seen every episode of 205 Live. When it comes to indy stuff I try to watch PWG's Battle of Los Angeles Tournament every year and until recently I tried to go to two local feds every time they ran a show, but one of them closed down because their ring was stolen by people they weren't paying.

It's still all just "look at the cool shit I can do" for the most part...sell a knee injurt for 30 seconds and then they're jumping around again. Back when wrestling was watchable, theyed sell that shit the whole match
Question 4 Grande Ricardo - Grande Ricardo - 12-03-2017
KO and Chris Jericho, watch their feud. They definitely sold the hell out of that, especially the Pinkie stuff. That was brilliant.

KO and Sami Zayn are doing a pretty good job, Jason Jordan is really good at it too, him and Kurt are entertaining as hell.
Question 4 R.L. Edgar - R.L. Edgar - 12-05-2017
The monday night wars was the peak of my wrestling fandom. I was always flipping between TNT and USA to watch both programs. It's really hard even to this day to say which I liked better. Just great moments of my childhood that I cherish:
Foley winning the WWF title.
Sting coming from the rafters.
Goldberg beating Hogan
Austin stunning Sgt. Slaughter
The list goes on and on

Last call! Is there anybody else who is interested in any of what I mentioned in my first post?
At this point, in the interest of secrecy AND speed, I'm locking this thread so future replies should go directly to me via PM. There are specific answers I'm looking for out of all the responses, so be as specific as possible.
