So last night ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
make_a_move texted me about Jeff Hardy, and we started a text convo about wrestling, which started me saying "You must see this!" "And THIS was awesome!" "Do you know that Jericho once peed in Regal's tea? And that it was AWESOME?" Until I made myself so nostalgic that I hit Youtube (my vast collection of recorded wrestling was on VHS and has mostly now been thrown out for lack of space. :( I have I think one of my Hardy Boyz tapes, which was basically 'every week I record the Hardys on Raw or Smackdown'. Matches last around ten, fifteen minutes maybe, including backstage stuff; my tapes lasted three hours. I had three tapes, just of the Hardys and with a couple of Jericho's matches thrown in because I couldn't resist the blond. I'd also record every PPV because we used to get them free back then *wistful* but I think I only kept Survivor Series 2000, since I think it was my first PPV ever maybe. But I don't have a video player anymore anyway, so I can't transfer them to DVD. Gr). A few hours of trawling Youtube for classic WWF/WWE clips later, wow do I miss how it used to be. I miss Rock and Classic!Jericho and Austin and catchphrases like can you smell what The Rock is cooking and shut the hell up!. LAYETH THE SMACKETH DOWN ON ALL THEIR CANDY ASSES, YESSIR.
But out of the hours of stuff that's on there, I found a few bits I remembered and loved, a few bits I didn't remember but love now and a few bits that I wish I'd stuck around to watch because they were hilarious. This is not even a TINY fraction of the stuff that happened in the WWF/WWE that I loved so all the people who were watching it back then or since, feel free to chip in with Youtube links and nostalgia! I wish they'd release like, a year's worth of Raw on DVD every December or something because I miss storylines like 'who ran over Austin!' terribly. I'd love to rewatch the whole damn thing week by week.
Anyway, what I did find... ( cut for length! I should find some pictures to go with this epic nostalgia... )
Oh wrestling. I miss my mad obsession with you. It was fun.make_a_move, maybe we should go to a live showing of Raw or Smackdown when they tour over here? They do it at least once a year usually. Could be fun! :DDD We were wwwaaaaaayy back at the one I went to and it was still awesome. Except I'd have to learn new catchphrases... or just yell the old ones and see how many people joined in. ^_^
So there you go, an epic post to make up for my quiet lately! I'm only working part-time for at least the next few weeks now though, so things may be less quiet again. Hurrah! I may inflict my bad attempts to sketch again on y'all tomorrow. :)
edit: I knew I wouldn't get through this without some html fail. It took me three tries just to fix the LJ cut tag. Hopefully that's all good now.
