Call me a dinosaur that's ok I was watching in the early 80's the AWA wrestling. I believe that Nature boy Ric Flair was World Champion.. The Moondogs Rex and King were a tag team and pretty funny too. Some of the wrestlers from the NWA moves to the WWF. First was AWA and WWF came on next on another channel. The Iron Shiek was World Champion when I started watching the WWF. In a Championship match the Iron Shiek put the camel clutch on Hulk Hogan. Of course he broke the hold and won the match. He remained champ for a couple years. The Ultimate Warrior once beat Hulk Hogan in a championship match. Ultimate Warrior didn't win the belt though because he had the Intercontinental belt. They said it was against the rules to have 2 belts at one time. Even though he didn't get the beslt I consider him to be the winner.
As for the WCW I started watching this in the 80's also. At first it didn't have as many wrestlers as the WWF. As far as I know Sting whose real name is Steve Borden i believe originates from the WCW. His original look was blond hair flattop no shirt and wrestling pants. In the 90's he went to the Goth look black hair and white face. In the 90's within the WCW was a group that was started The NWO. Scott Hall aka Diesel aka Razor Ramon and Kevin Nash were starting members. I didn't like them at all. But you know in wrestling someone has to be the bad guy.
In 2002 WWF turned into the WWE because they said wrestling was entertainment which is the E in WWE. I don't know this one as much as the ones before this. One thing I do remember though is Vicky Guerroro was giving Edge a bad time. She was didtracting him by yelling trying to make him lose. At first it was working. But soon later the Edge ignored her and won the match. Edge a bit later had to retire because he had a number of injuries to his back and the doctors told him he needed to retire because it was too much of a risk to keep wrestling. He announced his retirement in the ring and you knew he was serious because he was almost crying and you can see little pain.
This post is memories of wrestling. Share your memories of the WWF,AWA, WCW and WWE up until the year 2016.
Why do I say 2016? Because this post is about memories and anything after 2016 would not seem like a past memory but a more recent one. Just to remind you that you can talk about wrestlers, managers, owners, commentators, referees, Pipers Pit, Elizabeth, interviewers, cage matches, battle royals, royal rumbles anything at all that you remember even matches.
WWF Saturday Night Event Raw is War, Smackdown, NWO and Nitro. And don't forget about props that were used.
If you want to share video clips and articles that's fine also.
OK let's go to the storeand get our wrestling action figures. I once had 3 of them. Who would like to post next?
