I haven't went to the old stomping ground in years...well before the separation actually and just ran across this tweet
Seem to now be able to choose by the company with a huge selection. I figured there is a lot of good early content here for someone to get lost in.

Wow great to hear! I remember I was a freshman in high school when the original site first went down. I’m turning 36 this month and look forward to revisiting some WrestleCrap

So glad I can view the archive again without needing to pay for it. That frustrated me for a long time.

They were charging for the archive!? The hell!? They needed the money. But it appears they’ve made enough to afford this new format.

Kinda f***ed up they use an image of Sonny Kiss front and center for the AEW section.
I know it's because Sonny was a participant in the 2019 Double or Nothing battle royal, but the optics of calling Sonny Kiss Wrestlecrap reflect poorly.

I’m turning 36 this month and look forward to revisiting some WrestleCrap Think I was a sophomore but yeah, I was huge into WrestleCrap during the first iteration. And got back into it when it returned, hence how I ended up on this forum. Joined, after lurking for awhile, shortly after the Benoit incident

Cool find! I don’t remember when or how I stumbled upon the site, but I do know I was in college (sophomore, I think). I’m REALLY showing my age now, but I still remember posting on the old EZBoard forum.

Hot take; instead of calling their awards the "Gooker" they should be known as the "Muffler."

I am one who believes WC went from just being bad gimmicks to all the things the IWC complains about, but I get my kicks from time to time out of it. And the archive brings back a lot of young adult memories.
EDIT: Anyone with good memories know if the original archives had any edits made? As many WERE 20 years ago tops, so I'd guess there's a few things that didn't age well. Actually, I ask this because I am reading The Dragon entry, and I could have sworn this was where RD said the announcers never acknowledged his past...but there's nothing to that effect.
Also, I get the original comments sections depending on what I'm viewing it on, and sometimes the Disqus version.

Wrestlecrap the site was weeks old when someone posted a link to it in RSPW. And every week at work I would check it on my lunch break and loved it.
Haven't been to the main site in a long long time.

Found the book in a bookstore when I was out of town for some reason, got home and laughed my ass reading it. I still have a digital copy on my phone I'll read at least once a year or so, it's lost a lot of that appeal to me, but that's other things being better now. Shame WrestleCrap never jumped to YouTube, which they 100% should have done, but it's too late for that now.
Glad to be able to check all this stuff out finally.

I had the archive DVD but its a pain to fire that up so I only looked at it a few times in the past 10 years or longer (And now I have to plug in an external dvd-rom to my laptop) so happy this has some back!
Also clickin on some, it always amuses me how short the early inductions were. Like Charlie Minn's could be much longer.

A great idea in principle. I wonder if any of it manages to be genuinely fun rather than massively misogynist or transphobic
