@ those hotlines. They would actually give some insider info though, but nothing major. Usually a signing, or even just a death announcement; but Mean Gene would take like 20 minutes to get to the point 
Can't even count how many of my friends got their ass whooped for racking up the phone bill on that stuff
Mean Gene even said WCW brought in a couple million a year just off those lines 
I was rocking that (FREE) Talking Yellow Pages for my wrasstlin' gossip
I can picture that hotline being like sitting in the back of cab knowing that bill is racking up looking like this
or 
Breh, looking back it was hilarious how long they would ramble before giving the "dirt." I can't speak for the WWF/E one though, but I assume it was the same. I had learned my lesson before that, as one year (94) I begged my Grandmother to let me call one of those gaming tips hotlines, because I was struggling to pass a level in Ultraman for SNES
Dude on the other line, literally put me on hold for 5 minutes so that he could (probably) go find a manaul and read it to me When that bill came in, and my Mother saw... 
Luckily I used my Grandmother as the escape goat 
I want to live past elementary school, thanks 
I just kept my mouth shut when I'd be over at my friends and they would beg their parents to call, because I wanted to know the inside scoop Breh, looking back it was hilarious how long they would ramble before giving the "dirt."

First and last time for me. So when the wrestling hotlines started coming around, I was like
@ the visual of dude scrambling to hit gamefaqs or some shyt.
That was the shytty part about renting from Blockbuster, nikkas before you would always steal the manual 
that game would end up being 
Anywho, dude was able to give the hookup and I started whooping ass. If only I knew how
They even did shyt where you could listen to the entire PPV live on a Sunday. Imagine when that bill came inI remember being that Ultraman shyt unfortunately
I just can't picture them giving up info on their own booking plans back then. I also picture that WWF Superstar line being some disgusting shyt. I could never picturing myself calling that hotline to speak to Aldo Montoya after a Superstars match
Lol, yeah - shyt lasted about 6 months in 93. They broadcasted Summerslam and Survivor Series, but that was it. I read it was JR's idea tooshyt was like $2.95/minute
I think it was JR & Gorilla doing the audio PBP. Wasn't there WWF Radio at some point too?
Man there was the Hulk Hogan hotline.
Sting Hotline
And the NINTENDO POWER Hotline
That's cheap as shyt for all of them Hulk Tales
Only 1.49?!
