The Humble Beginnings of a Digital Prodigy
In the year 2000, the internet was a burgeoning frontier, a digital Wild West. Among its pioneers was a 13-year-old kid, fueled by passion and a fascination for wrestling. This was the era when 'WWFs Krib' was born. Inspired by 'Kennys Krib,' another popular fan site of the time, 'WWFs Krib' was more than just a website; it was a haven for wrestling aficionados.
The Re-launch That Marked A New Era
The oldest snapshot of 'WWFs Krib' on the Wayback Machine dates back to December 2000 - a significant re-launch. But the story began even earlier, a testament to the enduring spirit and dedication of its young creator.
Collaboration in the Early Internet Days
What made 'WWFs Krib' extraordinary was not just its content but the collaboration behind it. At a time when the internet was still in its infancy, connecting and working with others online was a feat in itself. I learned at a young age that websites needed content, which has never been my thing. A partner on the website, was also part of this incredible journey - what's up @DXDONMEGA.
Wrestling Mania: From Facts to Fiction
'WWFs Krib' was an archive of wrestling lore. From real names to DOBs of wrestlers, the site had it all - though, in the whimsical nature of youth, who knows what was actually correct. How were we claming to have contract info and real addresses?
Live Updates and Photoshop Adventures
The website was a live wire during TV shows and PPVs, providing play-by-play updates. It underwent countless redesigns, each featuring a blend of the era's unique 'terrible' Photoshop skills - a charming collage of pixelated images and flamboyant text.
The Legacy of Top 100s
'WWFs Krib' also featured a custom Top 100, a popular trend of the time. These lists were not just rankings; they were a battleground for recognition in the digital world, and actually building and owning one of these was pretty significant. It was helpful to learn about the business side at such a young age.
This early adventure in the world of web creation laid the foundation for a career in software engineering. Today, working with TALL STACK, the memories of 'WWFs Krib' echo a journey from a child's playful exploration to professional mastery.
