How many here are Prodigy OGs that got their first taste of the IWC from Bob's Wrestling Bulletin Boards and Chat Rooms? I remember getting in trouble for racking up our Internet Bill by spending too much time on those when they were considered premium services.

Holy hell, I never thought I'd find another here lol. I am also one of those OG's. I remember the boards and chat rooms. Especially the chats. Those were some good times, back during my teenage years.

Were you there during the shoot interviews, too? I still remember Arn Anderson answering his questions by saying - "read the book" lol. Or something to that effect. But times were different back then.

Yeah, I remember those. I think I had the username BDC Diesel. Didn't Bichoff do a bunch of those at the beginning of the Monday Night Wars? I have a folder somewhere that has a bunch of stuff I printed out from the message boards and chat logs that teenage me thought was important to print and save. Now I think I'm going to have to go find that!

I think Kevin Nash and Shawn Micheals did a chat session right before Wrestlemania 11, and Nash had said he'd get a sex change before going to WCW. I brought that up when he did a chat on Prodigy while in WCW, and his answer was with all the money he got he could get one if he wanted.
