ya man u dont know they have a historic match against brock lesner and cm punk, u can watch on April 14th sunday at 11am and repeat 9pm
 
I was watching old wwf shows from 1997. I remember when in school, a lot of students used to do the Dx suck it move.I didn't understood until when i watched raw. I dont remember the year ,maybe it was 1996 or 97 on star sports.
any anyone give the history of wwf in India
 
Long time ago, there were only two channels in india(DD nation and DD metro). Every house had that aluminium antenna(kite magnets) on their roofs. I still remember me and my father going to the hardware store to buy ours.



Then came the first private indian channel "zee tv". It would starting airing at 8am and end reception at 8pm. The whole night it would give the below reception. Everyone would assemble in front of the TV at 7:55am.



Somewhere in the ninties, "star" channels started appearing on tv. Believe it or not, back then, star movies would play wovies in its unedited form. Imagine watching nude females on a 14inch black and white TV. I was too young and confused to understand what it was though.

Star sports started airing wwf around 95. Though back then, there were VCR cassette stores everywhere who would import episodes of wwf and japanese anime movies from gulf states. I remember watching ghost in the shell in a video parlour and I just gave away a dozen wwf video cassettes(with arabic titles on it) to the scrap guy. Video distribution of wwf started in early ninties itself which prompted star sports to air it.
 
I do remember that the very first WWF fight I saw featured Mr. Perfect. He won!
 


I watched it briefly & then stopped watching. Then a cousin had come from another city and stayed at our house till he completed some courses and watched with him in mid-2000s. Basically I found the storyline(s) is what kept people interested and not the matches itself.. which used to follow a routine..
It was funny that sometimes the same guy would fight under different names and that itself would be a storyline..
