And Kane's been around for a while too. Isaac Yankem, lol. I stopped watching a long time ago. But every so often, I'll watch part of a segment on Raw when I'm channel-surfing. I don't know if they're still together, but I loved that they paired up Goldust and Cody Rhodes. And recently, I found the Stephanie McMahon/Bella Twin storyline (leading up to Summerslam?) interesting.
Lita was the best Diva in my opinion and for a while, the only reason I tuned into WWE programming. Some of the best stuff they had going on was when she was with the Hardy Boyz.
Old School, I loved the Ultimate Warrior, and for some strange reason Tito Santana. haha
Then I loved Owen Hart, Shawn Michaels, Goldust, Christian, Kane, and at various times the Undertaker, and Bret Hart, and of course Lita. When she left I became a fan of Eve Torres, even though I barely watched it at that point.
It was just as cheesy in the late 80s, early 90s as it is today, but it feels like it was so much better because of the nostalgia.
I used to always love the Survivor Series. The ones with the traditional tag team elimination matches. They were always so much fun. Usually it would involve people teaming up to battle people they were fueding with, but sometimes they'd just throw some people together on a team of wildcards. I liked that you might see certain people fight people they didn't normally get to be in the ring with, and the when you'd get uneven sides when members were eliminated. I have the Survivor Series Anthology vol. 1 and 2 on dvd, which includes the first 10 Survivor Series PPVs in their entirety (and the Undertaker's WWE debut). The first year (1987) had a match with I think 10 actual tag teams on each side, and it went on for about an hour. lol The ladies wrestled a lot better and the matches were actually entertaining back then too, they just didn't look as good as the Divas of today. :P
I had it on in the background and don't believe I ever heard him come out or anything. But the only time I gave it any actual attention was when I heard Rusev's theme because I knew that meant it was Lana time.
I used to be the same when Lita first came in with Essa Rios. She's why I started watching WWE again at the time.
That crowd seemed quiet when E & C were in the ring at the start, or was it just me?
And some of their schtick just seems silly now. :P But it's like most things WWE. To the fans, the 5 Second Pose is awesome, to an outsider it's ridiculous. And I guess when Lawler and Heyman talked about him being retired and never being able to wrestle again was Christian's retirement announcement?
And I see the Diva matches are still running under 3 minutes.
I felt bad for E & C, it was like they were getting no love. :P

I understand now why the Cutting Edge Peep Show was saved until the last segment, but I missed everything that happened after Cena agreed to bring back the Authority. I even set the DVR for 10 extra minutes.
A 3 hour show each week isn't enough time to fit everything in? I don't know how people watch 3 hours every week plus Smackdown. I remember when Raw was 60 minutes long, and you got 3 matches. I think even 2 hours is a little long. I fast forwarded through most of the matches, since I had the option when I was watching last night's episode.
