Look at it like a sports focused soap opera. It's a weekly TV show with no re runs.

Interesting.

Perhaps I'll try watching it sometime with that in mind. What stations/times is it usually on?

Actually I don't watch the new ones. I watch old WWF Raws and WCW Nitros from the mid to late 90s on the internet.

I know they come on Monday and Friday nights, but I'm not sure on the channel. They keep switching it around and changing.

USA Network at 7 pm central time on Mondays. If you have Hulu Plus you can watch it starting the next day at anytime you wish.

Thats exactly how i used to describe it to people who thought i was stupid for being all into it back in the day, its a soap opera for men.

I always rootted for Scrap Iron Gadaski back in the day. He pretty much always lost, but he put up a helluva fight. I think they actually let him win once in a great while, but never against the top stars.

Some of the best fistfights I remember seeing in grade school was over whether or not all-star wrestling is real. Wahoo McDaniels, Ivan Koloff, Kabuki, a bunch I can't remember. Dirty Dusty Roads was a hoot. He was being interviewed and was asked if he was going to be at the upcoming event they were promoting, and he says "maybe rain or maybe snow, maybe yes and maybe no."

I think half those characters were 2/3 schnockered when they were doing those interviews. I was just a kid, but looking back they sure were trying not to laugh their asses off. I did think it was kind of weird to see a couple old fat guys in their underware rolling around on each other.

Those are great. My oldest daughter walked into class late one day in High School and did the Razor Ramon entrance. No one got it. She was disappointed. I thought it was hilarious.

Man I used to love wrestling back in the early 90s. Loved watching on video the mid to late 80s.

Steamboat, Bret Hart, Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Tito Santana, Demolition, The Rockers, etc

It is before you find out it is fake. LOVED it when I was a kid.
