The launch of the network is probably the thing that rekindled my love of wrestling after completely falling out of love with WWE around 2003, getting in to TNA in early 2008, and then having my heart broken all over again when Hogan turned up a few years later.
The day it launched in the UK, me and my housemate at the time signed up. The archive was insane, and going back and watching old episodes of ECW TV and matches - like every Rey vs Psicosis - I hadn't seen since I got them off kazaa back in the day was awesome.
When NXT got gud around the time that local geordie Neville was tag champ, then the cruiserweight classic, and peak black and gold, it became the first must see weekly wrestling programming me and him had watched in a very long time.
Without the launch of the network in 2014 I would never have got back in to wrestling, and in turn wouldn't have been watching WhatCulture videos when they launched WCPW and did their first shows a literal 5 minute walk from our flat. Which in turn would have meant I never fell head first in to BritWres, etc etc etc.
It's weird to think I'm going to miss a content streaming platform, but it looks like I'm going to.
