17 Things Only 90s UK Wrestling Fans Will Understand

11. Pay-Per-View? Not For Us!

The very title, Pay-Per-View gives more than a little hint what such events do, namely charge a one-off fee for viewing per customer. Thanks to Sky Sports, a service UK fans were already paying for, PPV shows didn't come with any extra charge, meaning enthusiasts could enjoy the best WWF supershows without being hit with the big costs incurred by fans across the Atlantic Ocean. Of course, these events were beamed live from the States, and thus it took a certain type of person to stay up till 4am watching each show, right before heading to school on a Monday morning. Millions did it, and few would claim it wasn't worth it to see matches like Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XII.
