What's everyone currently watching?

[David-Arquette was in WCW 2000]

I think most folk here tend to watch a variety of wrestling, old and new, but is there something you're watching more than anything else, or more than usual?

Lately I've been really getting into early 80s WWF again. I used to watch it as a kid when Sky Sports aired "WWF Classics" in 99-2000, and I've always enjoyed that era.

Now, however, I'm totally hooked on everything, from the gritty presentation, the quick matches, simple angles, and some of the lesser known names like Charlie Fulton.

I'm still watching some stuff from later in the decade and into the 90s, but I'm definitely focussed on 82-83 Championship Wrestling right now.

World Class. The Sportatorium in the early to mid 80s must have been wild living and dying with the Von Erich’s like that. Those dudes got so much action in Dallas. lol

Gino Hernandez should have ended up in the Horsemen if things had gone differently. Brody is always a treat. Dallas during that oil boom must have been a wild ride.

right at the beginning of the attitude era, not having a great time of it so far but I’d rather finally know what was going on in the weekly shows instead of just the ppvs like before

just finished the episode where austin comes out in a suit and acts corporate but it was a ruse, I think that’s near the beginning?

[mcstoklasa]

Been watching old wrestling with wregret and this other channel wrestle me.

Rewatched all of the Austin Vince feud from 97-99. It was so good.

Watched a bunch of Triple H matches. He's one of my favourites.

Going to rewatch the Mankind Rock rivalry from 98-99 too.

yeah the whole crowd buys that he’s actually gone corporate and the promo changes as each piece of clothing comes off. eventually he’s out there with no knee pads on and shouldn’t look naked but he does lmao

[Jumpin' Jesse Walsh]

Rewatched WrestleMania 6 for the billionth time this past week.

I still can't wrap my head around Rona Barrett implying she saw Jesse Ventura in a porno.

Wrestle Me is a fantastic channel. Love their videos. Along the same lines as OSW Review, but I think Wrestle Me is just that bit funnier, and not reliant on gimmicks haha

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

My three promotions right are AEW, NOAH, and TJPW.

AEW is for weekly routine watching and PPV date nights with my wife. It's also my current go-to for great wrestling to show the uninitiated.

NOAH is sort of my all purpose filler - working my way through the VC tournament, for example, has taken quite a while, and it's easy to watch on my phone while getting to bed or in other random situations.

TJPW shares the convenience with NOAH, but I'm more invested in the characters than the wrestling, so they have different flavors. But NOAH is getting more time from me right now just because there is plain more of it now that I feel up to date on both.

My YouTube watching is down to Kim Justice's Wrestling Road on the regular, and NeoJoShizzle when he updates. I'm also keeping an eye out for Zara Zakher matches since her TJPW appearances, because that woman is off the chain amazing for a one year and change rookie.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Been part of the ivpvideos Patreon plan since it started, I've got around 14GB of everything saved.

Love the 80s All Japan and 90s New Japan, and every once in a while I'll dig thru the older US shows.

[Ultimo Gallos]

NEW STUFF
Impact most weeks and most of the TNA pppvs.

ROH's weekly show

AEW Collision

Then most months I goto at least one of the 2 AWA Pro shows on the coast. And normally the one TGCW show.

OLD STUFF

Working my way through all of ECW Hardcore TV. In late May of 95 currently.

And watching a 5 disc comp of Ultimo Guerrero & Rey Bucanero from 2002/2003 CMLL.

[cassonova]

I catch MLW when it comes on.

I watch the local promotion SCW Pro & their YouTube show.

Otherwise it's a rotation of H2O, old Chikara, Wrestling Revolver, & Enjoy.

[Bo Rida]

There's way too much new wrestling to watch each week for me to see any old stuff.

Aew Dynamite and almost everything TJPW are my top two.

I watch a large percentage of Ddt, gcw, and the rest of AEW's shows but often have to skip to the bits with my favourites or miss lesser cards entirely.

Then Noah and wrestling revolver on top but maybe a lower percentage. I watch Sendai Girls matches on YouTube so am happy it's coming to Wrestle Universe, always good to see Veny.

Various British indies too but mostly as live shows. Although I might have to subscribe to eve on YouTube for two promising upcoming shows as their new venue seems a pain in the ass to get back from.

[chronocross]

Watching Extreme Rules 2009 and CM Punk cashing in the MITB on Jeff Hardy leading to their summer feud on Smackdown.

[thecrusherwi]

At the beginning of last year, I started watching 1989 WWF and NWA week by week, roughly following the calendar. I'm now in March 1990 getting ready for Wrestlemania VI.

I was too young to have seen the weekly TV of 1989 (I was two), but I saw all of the PPVs repeatedly through video rentals. 1989 WWF is so much fun. The NWA had the mythical Flair vs. Steamboat and Flair vs Funk feuds going on, but I found myself way more interested in the ridiculous Hogan/Beefcake vs Savage/Zeus feud on a week by week basis. Plus, the rest of WCW was just so disjointed. WCW had some great matches and great PPVs in 1989, but the weekly TV of the WWF is so much better. And that has carried through into 1990. Pumped to watch Wrestlemania VI. It's probably been 10-15 years since I watched it from beginning to end.

[tafkaga]

TNA weeklies and PLE's because I got the annual sub. It's not blowing my mind but it's pretty good.

WWE and NXT PLE's only just to keep up with what's going on.

Also been working my way through history for several years. I'm at Summerslam '98 and feeling pretty burnt out. It's taken me a month to get through the first three matches.

[booty]

Been working my way through Chikara for the first time. Currently on season 11(2012), but the real interesting thing about it is I’ve been following the FAN threads from back then in “real time” so it’s almost as if I’m experiencing it how it was live at the time. It’s really given me an appreciation for wrestlers I wasn’t that familiar with, ie Larry Sweeney, UltraMantis Black, Hallowicked, etc.

There’s so many good ideas that I wish modern wrestling companies used. The three point system, ciberneticos, and king of trios, just to name a few.

[thegame415]

I've been watching stuff on its anniversary date, usually 25 years. So, I'm watching Raw and Nitro from early 1999. Raw's are a ton of fun, Nitro is slowly becoming a drag.

[PrimeTyme]

My main stuff is NWA/WWF from 1990 right now. I started a huge rewatch a few years ago from 1985 and have made it to the 90s now.

When I’m not watching that I recently started WCCW 1982 on the Network. But I’m not sure if I should invest a ton into it in case none of it is available post Netflix deal.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Found my 9 discs set Best of the Free birds.

On disc 2 now. So many amazing promos and matches.
