Buy the wcw and wwf ppvs when they went to tape because we couldn't afford the ppv's.

Well, that was until we got the black box for the tv.

Also just taoe trading in general, i must've been scammed like a dozen times as a teenager because i just trusted the people that it actually was an FMW best of compilation and not just a garbage copy on a blank tape.

i think i was too young for tape trading (and too australian, so prob isolated from trading networks), but good lord i can only imagine how frustrating it would be to buy an AJPW tape from some dude at a market, drive home, pop it in and finding that he just ran a magnet over a home tape of wheel of fortune and charged you a mint for it

Yeah, i only really got into it in the absolute tail end of its popularity, and even that was because i had a older family member who was doing it as a hobby. I remember it was around the time Cary Silkin took over ROH. I still occasionally trade tapes, but now i mostly just buy the old tapes to scan them to digital, and the tapes get to stay on my bookshelf to get played on my garage crt every once in a while.
