Most who would bother to open this probably know about my
Monday Night Wars thread. Sometimes I feel like watching wrestling, and even have the energy to give it a full writeup, but am in a mood to watch a different era than that MNW era (
70% of the time, this will mean that I ran into a goddamn Public Enemy match). At the risk of displaying unwarranted self-indulgence by guessing that people might enjoy another thread of my writing, I decided that I would throw this thread up as a place where I might write up something that happened in another time in wrestling history.
I'll be happy to take requests, and if the interest exists then there's a good chance that I may work entirely off of people's requests. If people are interested in seeing a show get the full writeup treatment, gifs and all, post nominations ITT.
Notes:
1. Nothing from the Monday Night Wars era, so that's Fall Brawl '95 up until WrestleMania X-7 in 2001.
2. Please be kind and give me something that either you really personally enjoy or that you find to be awful in a way that you suspect would provide for an entertaining writeup. Inducing me to write up something like that is awful and also provides very little in the way of unintentional entertainment...well, that just makes you a terrible person. To pull an example from the MNW era, Halloween Havoc '95 (Giant falls off the roof of an arena and then wrestles 30 minutes later without explanation) or Uncensored '96 (Tower of Doom) is a good nomination, whereas nWo Souled Out '97 (three hours of misery) is a horrendous one.
3. If you're going to nominate multiple shows, roughly power-rank them in order of preference that you'd like to see; without explaining why, that might influence my decision at any given moment.
4. What I have seen: with some gaps, most WWF/WWE PPVs from WrestleMania I through WrestleMania X-7 and then from sometime roughly around WrestleMania XXV through the present day. In terms of shows in their entirety, mostly what I've seen from WCW falls under the MNW umbrella.
5. What I haven't seen: most pre-1995 WCW/NWA shows, most WWF/WWE shows between WrestleMania X-7 and WrestleMania XXV.
6. I'm happy to write up stuff I have or haven't seen; just figured I would give the above as a point of reference.
7. Stuff that's accessible on the WWE Network, please. If I can't watch it on my TV in decent definition (read: not YouTube in most cases), I probably don't want to bother with it.
8. If a nomination gets thrown my way that I know that I don't want to do, or that others in the thread crap on to an extent sufficient to convince me that I don't want to go there, I'll probably just veto and throw it out.
Some decisions will be unilateral executive decisions; others will likely involve random.org. How much I do with this thread will be heavily correlated with how much interest there seems to be from people wanting to nominate shows and read stuff that gets written.
