Y'all remember when Stone GOAT Steve Austin introduced Jay-Z at the VMAs :banderas:

[Da King]

AND THAT PERCEPTION HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECT, BROTHER! THE BIGGEST WRESTLING MARKET HISTORICALLY WAS NEW YORK CITY AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY FULL OF YOKELS, DUDE!

You think everyone in NYC are hip cosmopolitan elites?


Obviously you've never left your suburb

 

[Silkk]

Introducing Jay-Z!

Lucky Lefty

Hova The God

William H. Holla

Shawn Corey Carter

Hovito

Jigga My N-

Carson Daly: "OK - That's enough, Steve"

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

You think everyone in NYC are hip cosmopolitan elites?

IF GENTRIFICATION CONTINUES AT THIS RATE, BROTHER! BUT BELIEVE ME, WOODY IS WELL AWARE OF THE AVERAGE NEW YORK SLOB, DUDE! BUT IT'S A FORM OF LOW CLASS TRASH DISTINCT FROM THE TRAILER PARK DENIZENS, MEAN GENE!

Don't forget NYC shows are filled with everyone from the tri state area

 

[MartyMcFly]

last VMA i gave a damn about and yeah, wrestling was huge then. so damn sad where it is now

 

[The American]

The only period in time when wrasslin wasn't perceived to be watched only by inbred rednecks

Not during the Golden Era, everyone watched back then too. The New Gen era was mostly kids and nerds more than rednecks.

 

[Lord Scion]

I was 8 years old at the time but my pops thought Stone Cold was so cool he had no problem with me watching that shyt.

I think April 2000- was the absolute peak of WWF. EVERYBODY at school was talking about that shyt.

My mom had this Rock poster hanging on her door during 2000

You be listening to your friends mix CD, you hear Jadakiss one track then the next one *glass shatters*

Those were the days

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

These kids don't know how fukkin huge the WWE was back in the AE good god. RAW and Smackdown used to be something the entire family watches and that shyt was vulgar as hell.

Now you cut on the actual "family friendly" RAW and they look at you like "Ain't the Westminister Dog Show supposed to be on?"

Heat used to be lit af ppv nights

 

[FunkDoc1112]

My mom had this Rock poster hanging on her door during 2000

You be listening to your friends mix CD, you hear Jadakiss one track then the next one *glass shatters*

Those were the days

Every black mom loved The Rock

 

[Lord Scion]

I can't find the video, but when they performed this live during a Smackdown taping that aired during the BET Awards

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Busta looking gay as hell

 

[THEREALBRAND]

my man Teck-$!

the 90's

Seeing Ruthie the drunk has me in my feels right now.

So many memories

 

[JoogJoint]

This is why Stone Cold is the GOAT.
He defined a lot of entertainment back in the 90's for me as a kid.

 

[prophecypro]

Boy this whole damn thing was like a time capsule.

 

[richaveli83]

Bringing back so many good memories of my adolescence and teen years. I remember Stone Cold Steve Austin was on the emmy awards and was one of the presenters. I think it was 1999 or 2000 I can't remember which year. Wrestling was HUGE in 1999-2001.
