I was kinda wondering this, I'm not saying it's a necessity of course, but I do feel that knowing and watching WWF/E history, as a fan and being active in regards to discussions that knowing some of the history is actually very valuable and quite important, when it comes to a lot of discussions and conversations on here, so I was kinda wondering how many of the forum members are actually quite up on the previous era's of WWE, or is it mainly today's product that you know more about?
Whether it be the Attitude Era with the likes of Stone Cold, Rock, Foley etc... or the Golden Era with talent such as Bret Hart, Mr Perfect, Rick Martel, Warrior, Hogan, Mountie, Boss Man etc.. or even older wrestling going way back to Buddy Rogers and Bruno Sammartino times even?
Me personally, I've gone as far back as say the late 80's/early 90's time ... which I feel (imo) is when WWE/F was at it's strongest, talent wise, storyline wise, the lot ... closely followed by the Attitude Era, so I too could delve into more WWF/E history too if we're honest, but I'm wondering how much you guys know about the previous era's too ... as again, I do feel that it's quite relevant and good to have knowledge, watch into this footage and be educated on the guys who paved the way for what we see today also, it definitely helps you have a much better understanding of Wrestling I think on a whole, and you can also see how today's product compares to previous era's too with a bit more knowledge.
So how far back, in wrestling history have you watched PPV's from, or footage etc... maybe some of you have watched all the Wrestlemania's, Royal Rumbles, Summerslams and Survivor Series .... maybe some have gone even further to WWWF times and the territory days ... I'd be kinda interested to know how many here, also have done this?
Thoughts?
