Title: What do you guys watch?
Post by: joseywaleshhh on December 02, 2010, 07:25:55 PM

It seems like a lot of you guys aren't crazy about WWE. Do you watch other stuff?

My preferences include mostly older footage, Japanese, and the odd "alternative" stuff.
Every so often I enjoy watching some of the classic English footage like World of Sport - lots of good shooters such as Billy Robinson, Jack Foley, the Riley's, etc. to come from that place & era.
Also, anything with Karl Gotch is worth watching in my book.

Today's indy scene is primarily a low-grade trampoline act with sprinkles of garbage cans, thumbtacks, and other "hardcore" niceties.
I don't follow any of it.

I record both Raw and Smackdown, and then flick through them when I get in from work.  I was keeping up with TNA, but the novelty of having Hogan around soon wore off.

1978-1983 Georgia, Old Southwest from the USA Network.  1980 Florida.  Wait for a snow day, pop in a dvd and transport myself back in time and space.

Just dvd's. It was nice to have other promotions back in the day because when one promotion got stale, there were others to watch. Now I just throw in a dvd.

Good stuff right there.  I am more into searching websites for interviews with older wrestlers....follow a couple of indy's via youtube and watch the older vids from Mid-Atlantic, GA, Texas and Florida.

I enjoy the older NWA / Mid-Atlantic stuff circa 1980-1985

I started recording "Classic Wrestling" on ESPN Classics. I think it's AWA, pretty good stuff.

I usually always watch Raw..if i'm home I'll watch SD, but usually read spoilers. I used to be a big ROH fan, but haven't followed closely lately..I've been watching a lot of wccw and random Japan stuff.

I watch both RAW and SD (for the few matches that are actually on it).

TNA I will record and flick through, it has gone terrible since Hogan and Bischoff arrived.  I used to prefer TNA to WWE, USED TO.

I also love watching anything from the 90's.
