inspired by the other discussion post today, it got me thinking about what match evokes the best childhood memory? it doesn’t have to be a good match or anything - just the one that you remember most?
for me, it’s eddie gilbert vs the dark patriot from global in 1992. i didn’t really watch wwf growing up but i was really big into wcw and i remember discovering global on espn afterschool and out of every wrestling match i watched nothing is more memorable than global.
someone uploaded it to youtube, so you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRNuKdaRbd8
An easy answer and probably a common one from my country (UK) would be the 2000 Royal Rumble and ru l the Street Fight that was part of it. Great match, fell in love with Cactus Jack and by extension Mick Foley just as the company began to peak in the attitude era.
Then channel 4 stopped showing wrestling. Think it went to sky and I was poor. Would have just turned 17 I guess and my first real taste of pro wrestling.
And that’s why the UK ended up loving free-ass TNA more than pay-to-watch WWE! lol 😣
