MFer 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 I got in wrestling much later than the rest of you guys. I watched it off and on through the 90's (mainly WCW) but I didn't become a regular fan until around the time I turned 13, in October 2000 (mainly WWF). WWF Champion-Kurt Angle IC-Eddie Guerrero European-William Regal Tag Team-Hardyz Women's-Lita Hardcore-Steve Blackman Light-Heavyweight-Dean Malenko BTW, this coincided with Raw's move to TNN. Angle had just won his 1st major title, the Hardyz/E&C had a ladder match (which was the start of me becoming a huge Hardyz/Lita fan) and the Radicalz had a couple champions.

Chui 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 The first time I ever watched wrestling was the October 11, 1999 Raw. WWF Champion - Triple H Intercontinental Champion - Jeff Jarrett (dropped the title to Chyna 6 days later at No Mercy) WWF Tag Team Champions - New Age Outlaws (I think, and they dropped the belts to Rock & Sock at the SD tapings the next day) WWF Hardcore Champion - Al Snow (lost the title to Boss Man the next day on SD as well) WWF European Champion - D'Lo Brown (I'm pretty sure) WWF Women's Champion - Ivory (lost the belt to Moolah 6 days later at No Mercy) I started watching WCW a few weeks later when my sister told me there was a wrestling show on TBS on Thursday (I didn't get UPN so I never got to watch SD until the CW debut in 2006). I always watched the the first hour of Nitro on Monday, then switched to Raw, and watched Thunder on Thursday/Wednesday. Anyway, it was right before the first Mayhem PPV so I think it was something like: WCW World Champion - Vacant WCW US & TV Champion - Scott Hall WCW Tag Team Champions - Harlem Heat or Creative Control WCW Cruiserweight Champion - Disco Inferno Started watching ECW on TNN on December 1999 ECW World Champion - Mike Awesome ECW TV Champion - Rob Van Dam ECW Tag Team Champions - Impact Players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badd, Black Blood, PN News, and Steve Austin. What I thought was weird was that during Clash 15, where Bobby Eaton was still TV champion, they showed Steve Austin with the TV belt during his little segment.

I'll defer to you on whether or not Eaton wore the belt, but I am pretty certain that Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone pointed out more than once that only Flair's world title was on the line and Eaton's TV title was not. And I don't think Austin wore the belt for his match. His title win (per Graham Cawthon's site) didn't air until June 29, so Eaton would have still been the champion on TV.

In the Austin coming attraction video package he is wearing the belt, but not for his Clash match. That's why I am confused. And, for some strange reason, Eaton is still not announced as the champion (and is not listed as the current belt holder in the "Knoxville Notes" stat card).
