Youtube and other video-hosting web sites have allowed fans around the world access not only to countless wrestling matches, but to wrestling segments and interviews.

Ancient Raw reviews

If you want an interesting look, both at smarks from 1993 and at the early internet in general, take a gander at this old wrestling community that posted recaps of every Raw, as they happened.
