Dark Match Winner
How were you introduced to wrestling?
What was it that made you sit there in awe about the product and who really stood out for you?
For me, we go back to 1996.
My neighbours at the time had a VHS tape I was intrested in looking at, It was called WWF 1996 Royal Rumble. On the cover you had Bret Hart with the WWF title and his opponent and challenger, The intimidating Undertaker
Reading the back I noticed they had a 30 man rumble. a 30 Man Rumble ?! Good god I wanted to watch that match ! so I chucked it on !
Then, the 1st match I ever watched, The bonus free for all. The winner becoming number 30 and the loser being number 1 in the rumble match!
The rich snob Hunter Hearst Helmsley Vs The bum looking but loveable Duke The Dumpster Droese.
I couldnt believe what an arrogant ass Helmsley was & enjoyed watching The Dumperster throw him around and beat the hell out of him.
Then watching Hunter blast him in the face with something to cheat and gain number 30 spot made my blood boil! However Gorilla Monsoon changed that when he reveresed the decision thanks to the WWF's instant replay.
I was happy. That snob was number 1 & The dumpster was 30 !
Then I remember a number of different things.. Shawn Micheals coming out for an interview.. People going wild, HBK doing his thing was electric! I was glued to the edge of my seat. I have watched that interview a million times and know it from memory and HBK has been my fav ever since.
I was jumping for joy when he won the rumble. But he eliminated his best friend! Big Daddy cool dammit!
I thought Diesel was the coolest guy in the world! The cool swagger, then chilled out approach for an interview.
The Undertaker & Goldust scared the hell out of me.. Goldust because he was just, well.. Weird and The Undertaker because I had never seen a real life deadman before.
Bear in mind I was only 6 years old. haha
