I hadn't thought about it in a long time but yea, I did way back in the day. Great times, even though it pissed my sister off since I'd use up our only television to watch scrambled wrestling. Sums up my memories perfectly. I listened to WrestleMania X and a couple of WCW pay-per-views (Hogan's first in WCW and the one where the nWo was formed).

Yeah I used to do that, I remember whenever Goldberg would come out on Nitro, the screen would go clear

I used to do it all the time during the attitude era. Wrestlemania 14 was the first.

Yes. I used to be able to do that on my old TV with an antennae, it seems like it was from 1993 to 1999. For awhile there it seemed like I was getting it fairly clear with sound. I used to feel so euphoric when that happened. I haven't thought about that in forever. Good times.

The sound would usually come pretty clear, and the picture would be really bad, but every 5 seconds it would be clear kind of..... then PPV went digital and all was lost. =( i always would, until i could work and afford to pay for it myself.

I know I used to do it all the time but I only really remember the 1st Undertaker/Kane inferno match and the fuzz would get brighter from the fire everytime there was a big slam.

I used to all the time, I remember listening to Steve Austin win the WWF title for the first time and freaking out.
EDIT: But we've come a long way with web streams and such.

I used to do that! The first one I 'saw' was Tuesday Night in Texas. The last ones I watched were the weekly TNA PPVs.
