I forget what dirtsheet forum it was in 2003 but I was so happy to hear HBK would be wrestling at Wrestlemania I had to know who it would be against. The forum told me he'd be wrestling Y2J. Then soon after the forum just died out and I started following WrestlingInc soon after
Hi Jason. A perspective of WWF/WWE from an Indian. Access to WWF/wwe wasn't available on TV till 2000 I believe. A new sports channel used to show WWE programming on a 1 month delay. We had no idea what had happened in real time because there was no access to Internet for the common man in our country back then. Only from 2006 did Internet became a thing in households. We used to keep track of matches on WWE website in real time & then watch at a delay of a month. It was only from 2013 when we started getting Live broadcast of WWE programming.

1996 for me. Bash at the Beach. Hogan turning heel. Also spending money on the WCW Hotline & ECW Rumor lines. You didn't get a bunch of wrestling rumors online at that time.
Bryan and Vinny of figure four weekly back in 2007, if you were a tna diehard like myself you would eventually here about B&V and how much they DESPISED impact they were and still are fucking hilarious
Reading the magazines they sold in the grocery store
I remember I was watching a public access show here in NYC where this guy would tell wrestling news. I also was introduced to 1wrestling.com as well back then.
I guess TVTrax was my source of wrestling news when I was still in high school. Back then when YouTube wasn't the drizzling shit it is today. I believe I was watching something wrestling related and to my knowledge I was recommend something, I think it was either Solomonster or D&K and I was saying to myself "is this all true?" then boom… it was right there on TV the next night. I also used to watch wrestling reviewers frequently when a video was uploaded. I feel like I gone too so many different stages of finding wrestling news.

I like RingSideNews a lot. But PWInsider has it all.
