The nWo were formed 18yrs ago today.

Fresh from the "How long ago?" feeling in the birth of Austin 3:16 thread, it's time to feel old again as 18yrs ago today, Hulk Hogan turned heel (for the first time to the majority of fans), the New World Order were formed and US wrestling was getting set to hit the hottest period since the early Hulkamania days.

The good old days. I was 14 at the time, I remember I used to go round my mates house on a Friday night (as I hadn't got Sky) & we'd watch the first hour of Nitro, then change channel & watch Raw.

How (relatively) young does Hogan look in that video?

[Guest The Beltster]

I've been a fan for so long that I dont even consider that the old days and to me, Hogan was almost 5 years past it by that point for me even though I love the dude.

 

I'm ancient. Its lame.

Yep, me too. Started in '84. Them were the days.

I can remember watching the odd snippet of WWE in the mid-80s, but that was just every now and again when it was taped from ITV at around 3-4am. It wasn't until WrestleMania VII appeared before me on VHS in May 1991 that I became a WWE fan.

 

Of course, I'd watched World of Sport from the moment I could see and loved that wrestling too, but WWE was just BRIGHTER AND BIGGER!

Starrcade 1985, Tully Vs Magnum TA in the I Quit cage, what a masterpiece!!

[Guest Edgehead]

WrestleMania 3 was the first wrestling I ever saw. I still remember how fascinated I was by it, especially Hogan/Andre

Starrcade 1985, Tully Vs Magnum TA in the I Quit cage, what a masterpiece!!

 

One of my all time favorites.

'Spice Girls - Wannabe' came out the day after the nWo was born.
