Craze for WWF show in Indian Television – 1990s
About 23 years before , when my son and my brother’s son were five and four respectively , the most watched top rated TV show in Indian television was WWF ( World Wrestling Federation ) for them and similar age group kids. But the beauty is ,we adults were also attracted to that show and curiously watching the wrestling , though it looks like an act of real wrestling. The big sound noise when they fell on the floor is very much deceiving .
The super stars of the wrestling match are well known to the kids who were very crazy to watch, write down their records , buying lot of picture cards with their vital statistics , no. of matches played , won and lost and many other details printed. The kids used to play games with the picture cards by remembering the ststistics well of all the super stars.
Even my dad and myself sometimes watch the WWF TV show by sitting at the edge of the chair and wait to see who will be the winner! The names of few top wrestlers and photos I give here for the viewing pleasure of people of all ages who loved WWF once and even today. My brother-in-law ( elder sister’s husband ) also likes to watch WWF show .
The tough face of the Chairman & Chief Executive of WWE , Mr.McMohan is an added attraction in the show and his daughter also later joined him.
The 1990s was a decade of huge transition in WWF history. The fans witnessed the end of The Golden Era followed by many highs and lows and the emergence of the new generation.
Even today the show goes on I believe and my grown up kid who got married last year and my brother’s son could recall those good old days of watching the big show and the card games they used to play , with friends and with me also . All others of their age group and may be elders too could recall those happy days and cherish.
do you recall what year you first started watching WWF in India? Do you recall the channel?
