Watching WrestleWar 90. My three favorite things from this show: 1. Road Warriors/Doom standoff/brawl 2. Guy in front row with a sign that reads, "We have HERD enough" 3. The crowd going apeshit every time Luger's on offense against Flair

Wacky - KAW did a music video for Reno Riggins and Steven Dunn. Also did a Pulp Fiction video at the end of the show

Good to see a Wildside thread. Always felt like the promotion didn't get enough love. Jeff G. Bailey is one of my favorite managers ever It should also be mentioned that they had some of the best, most brutal War Games matches ever

Looking forward to watching some CHIKARA. Ordered King of Trios 2012. Always heard good things about the promotion but never bit till now

I've been to two shows. First show had a great Bestia 666 (son of Damian) vs. Rey Horus (Rey Jr's cousin). It's a good mix of some decent wrestling and story-telling. I'd say there's one good match per show that's worth price of admission ($10) and while some matches aren't good, they're still entertaining. The gym is a great venue and the fans bring it

There's a pretty good indy here in Louisiana called WildKat. They're feuding with Booker's Reality of Wrestling. Stevie's main eventing the next show against Shane Taylor

Just get the ECW set and you'll never have to seek out anything ECW ever again

I won't watch ECW on the Network due to edits

I quit watching in 2012. I still watch old stuff and even found a local indy to go to. I do have the Network though (for old footage).

I was lucky enough to attend both the 1993 Fanweek and half of the 1995 fanweek. It was an amazing experience. It truly gave you a first hand experience of being in a territory. Cornette was very accessible. Brian Hitlebrand (Mark Curtis) ran the show for the fans. In 1995, Downtown D-Lo Brown was my driver. He carted me all over Tennessee and Kentucky. I was 20 (1 week before turning 21) during the first fanweek ('93) and i was absolutely exhausted by the end of it, though I would've stayed for another week it was so much fun. It seemed we never arrived "home" before 1 or 2am. Some nights were 3-4am. Then you were back up and on the road by noon to do it all over again. It certainly earned my respect for the boys who were taking bumps and doing the same drives. A few great memories for me: Sitting in a hotel room with Dave Meltzer watching Hokuto v Kandori from Dreamslam 1 and Flair v Steamboat from Music City Showdown. I realized at that moment that as big of a wrestling fan as I was (and I was), I was nowhere near the fan he was. He watched intently, pointed out things to the few of us and popped louder than any of the "hardcore fans" in the room watching the matches. Another great Meltzer memory was stopping at a Perkins at 2:30am to eat dinner with 20 other wrestling fans and one fan (Marty from New York, most well known for having Tammy Sytch and Jimmy Del Ray light his hat on fire at a BBQ) persisted to argue with Dave about how Bob Backlund was a much better pro wrestler than Ric Flair. Dave was doing his best to be respectful, but Marty's argument that Backlund would still be champ (this was in 1993) if it wasn't for Arnold Skaaland, was his #1 argument point. Lastly, in '95, we went to a USWA show at the Louisville Gardens. This was in the midst of the SMW v USWA feud. Of course, we were all SMW fans. Cheering the "heel" outsiders. We needed a police escort out of the building and out of Louisville. True story. The business was still alive and well in Kentucky and Tennessee in 1995. Saw some amazing matches and watched some amazing workers. You get a completely different view of some guys when you see them work every night. Great times. Incredible

It's looking like Saturday's Anarchy show will be its last

92 was a bad year financially

Makes you wanna buy Will's Death of WCW set, doesn't it?

Does anyone watch NWA Anarchy? I used to love Wildside back in the day. I've only seen two Anarchy shows, one from 08 & 10. I found both enjoyable. Now I'm waiting on their two big shows from this year to come in so I can see how it is nowadays but it seems to be pretty consistent and doesn't seem to get much love

This is a question for all of you who grew up in the 80s. Being a 90s baby, I always find myself nostalgic towards that era of wrestling. I've always wondered if you who grew up watching wrestling in the 80s found the 90s to be inferior to the 80s. I know personally I hated the 00s compared to the 90s. I think the question is interesting because you had the Attitude era in the 90s, which is seen as the biggest boom in wrestling history, but did you enjoy it like you did the 80s?
