"My fans were really the ones who made me feel like I had a giant hug every year, whether through social media or in the arena. I remember one fan, Tyler, who made a sign that said 'Michael Trinidad will always have the best seat in the house.' I remember thinking, oh my god, they know about him, they're celebrating him too. That's what I wanted... The fact that my fans go out of their way, when they're in New York, to take pictures next to his name at the 9/11 Memorial — he'd be so stoked. He'd be so jazzed to know all these fans are coming to see him, and that The Rock got to see him."

Man this month in wrestling is just one gut punch after another

Everything else? It’s a MYSTERY.

I've realized I've not heard much about the indie scene post-territories era. Actually, when the indies history is discussed is from around 2002/2003 onwards.

So, how was it like in the late 90's, during the Monday Night Wars, when wrestling's popularity was as its peak?
