Did you use to like WWE when you were younger?

[Perhaps]

[biscuits]

I have never seen it in my life. I had friends who did watch though. We never had Sky TV and was that the only way to watch it?

[arrested_development]

If I had Sky like my cousin did, I probably would have at least watched the bigger WWF events like Wrestlemania in the late 80s-early 90s. When it was Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man and so on. But I was poor and still am.

[Your Mum]

No. As a matter of fact, I didn't like people who did.

Too loud and American for my liking.

I remember when it was called WWF.
I think things became heated after they accidentally set up a 144,000 acre preservation area to preserve Hulk Hogan.

I used to like it at times when I was a kid, the campy early 90s Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man stuff, and then the edgelord late 90s Attitude era. Though I think it might have been more that I liked the action figures and video games.

This was WCW, but I'd still like to share...

I used to love watching WWF in the 80s! My favourite wrestlers were Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. Although I was only able to watch the WWF for a few years because my Dad had lost his ability to turn himself into Captain Jack Sparrow. Then when we didn't get those channels anymore, I had to go back to watching British wrestling again. Which wasn't the same.

Seems like it's sport of, by and for the straw-chewin' southern rednecks from the good 'old U S of A yee-hahh.

I call dibs on Hulk and Randy! I didn't have any wrestling figures growing up. Although I did have a care bear, but funshine bear wasn't much of a wrestler. Especially when funshine's stuffing came out!

Anyway

Great wrestling figures, TD, P!

Yes, when I was like somewhere between 11 - 13 was the first time I saw it.
I'm surprised though that nobody mentioned here how they believed it was real.
Was it so obvious to everyone? I thought it's real when I watched the very first episode. Pretty quickly realised it's not, though. I think somebody told me.

Never was a big fan, but the main characters were always appearing somewhere, like Triple H, Randy Orton, Dave Bautista. I like movies with Bautista.
Also John Cena meme is still relevant, I believe?
