I miss scrabbled PPV's

[Vice honcho room temperature]

For some reason a while ago I can't find scrambled PPV's any more it makes me sad.

...so do I. It's all because of the digital TV stuff and "On Demand" deal.

I used to watch 'em all the time on the old C-Band dish....for free!!! Then you had to pay a $1 to get codes to get everything free.....then it they changed the codes too often for it to be worth it.....so I started watching them in Spanish.....then I had to actually pay for them, now I never see em.

Yeah, those were the days.

Then again, that's how I found out Owen died.

I kinda miss them too. I saw a lot of PPVs from 2000 to 2004 this way.

I sorely miss them too, now I just either get a live free stream of a PPV that's not worth ordering like a Raw or SD only PPV (mostly Raw,IMO).

Or if it's really good and I don't feel like paying, I just go to a tape trader and get the event off of them.

Really? I stopped getting 'em around WrestleMania 9, I believe was the last free, in English PPV I saw.....

The last bootleg I got was the Wrestlemania 22 PPV, after that it just flaked out.

There was a guy in my area selling one a few months back, should've bought it damn.

I remember wondering who lifted the briefcase. But no one knew anyway

Once I found out about the wonderful way of "listening" to the PPV, with minimal picture, I ended up saving the fam a ton of money in the mid 90's. Those were the days...

I miss scramblevision. You couldn't hardly see a thing but the sound was perfect so you knew what was going on. I discovered this in the late 80s.

With scrambled wrestling in the WWE, you can imagine that there is good workrate in the match you're watching.

[Big Hurt]

With our cable box and our old TV, there used to be away to adjust the picture where I could watch the PPV in black and white with minimal jumping. Miss those days as well.

I once tryed to watch the 98 Royal Rumble and WCW Uncesoured 98 scrambled. So i remember when The Undertaker's casket was set on fire.

I love how we are using WWE PPV's as a code name for porn.

My parents bought me WrestleMania VIII on PPV. After that, I wanted to order every WWF PPV, to which my parents said no. Then I found the magical world of scrambled porn wrestling PPV's, and from 1992-2003, that's how I watched them. It was like listening to the PPV on the radio. Of course, we ended up getting a cable box in 2003 and can't do that anymore.

Good times.

Well since it was the WWE current section I figured talking about PPV's was better. Besides I've got a computer where the porn cup overflowith.

The days of scrambled style movie channels are long over. I remember watching the scrambled WWF pay per views on channel 99. I can listen too you know. I didn't need clear sight. Cinemax started with a fuzz style scramble that didn't hurt too much but then they moved to the dreaded scramble that was all over the place. Sometimes you couldn't tell a boob from an elbow.

Scrambled porn is overrated. It was all about the "Free Preview Nights".
