Survivor Series 98 is the first PPV I ever bought. Holds a special place in my heart.

I remember some of Wrestlemania 3. Like bits and parts. But I remember Wrestlemania 4 like it was yesterday. Savage won the title and it was awesome. For my my money there was not a better face performance than Savage that day.

I started watching around 94, but I never bought the PPVs because 9 year olds don't have 30 bucks and my mother loathed wrestling and would never buy them for me. Survivor Series 98 came around when the show was red hot and I wasn't going to miss a tournament for the title.

I very very vaguely remember the 1990 Royal Rumble. But I clearly remember watching Summerslam '90 with Warrior defending the title against Rick Rude in a cage :) I was only 4!

Got a silver package for Mania, can't frickin' wait.

The Hogan/Warrior showdown at that Rumble was a massive mark out moment. The build for that was done so well. I miss storytelling like that.

Congrats on going to Mania! If you wanna grab a beer LMK.

Now can Bryan wrestle please?!?!?!

so the tourney looks to be obviously set up for a Reigns/Ambrose showdown with one of them joining the authority, not terrible, but im pretty disappointed that Cesaro will be losing in the 2nd round, i wish they had it to where he would make the final 4

I'm having trouble seeing a scenario where Reigns doesn't win, hopefully they actually execute the heel turn though.

our of Reigns and Ambrose, who actually seems like they could be a member of the Authority, the mostly calm collected Reigns or the nut job Ambrose? as much as it seems that Ambrose would be the one to turn, if its to join the Authority then he makes no sense. Reigns should be the one.

Well Ambrose would be the better heel, but Reigns fits the Authority better.

I LOVED the Paige/Charlotte segment, and considering how trashy it was, that makes me a terrible person.

Looks like there's a lot of big doings at the NXT taping tonight. I've done such a good job avoiding the NXT spoilers the last few months, have to keep fighting.
