Mine is 2005, My Mom says the story goes like this, We were eating dinner as I was scrolling through channels as a wise 2 and a half year old and I found smackdown and I didn't move for an hour and stared at the screen. The only reason my mom put it back on next week was probably because she remembered Undertaker from when she was a kid. I have been torturing my family by watching wrestling almost every week since.

Like religiously? Or saw a match?
The first match I saw was Sting vs. Flair for the unification where Sherri Martel aligned with Flair. So that was 1994. I happened upon it by accident. Instantly a Sting fan for some reason. Next match I saw was Steve Austin vs. Duggan during Fall Brawl. My dad had ordered the PPV. Not sure if I watched the rest of it with him as it was past my bedtime.
I started watching religiously in 1995 as I finally found the station WCW was on.

Early 70's maybe '72 or '73. Although the first match I remember was the Executioners (Studd and Kowalski) vs Chief Jay Strongbow and I think Billy White Wolf.

One of my earliest memories was seeing Ultimate Warrior in the ring, sometime around Halloween when I was pretty young.
Started watching WCW full-time somewhere around mid-94. Caught my first glimpse of WWF somewhere around early-95 and thought Diesel was awesome.
Watched on and off ever since, but I've always loved wrestling.

In either 2006 or 2007. I honestly can't remember. Ive asked my parents to see if they remember when I started watching and my dad's reply was that it was 2006 and my mom said she thinks it was 2007. I don't remember, and neither do my parents. I guess I'll never know.

I've been around it my entire life since my mom used to watch religiously. I feel like my earliest memory is the Legion of Doom coming out on motorcycles at SummerSlam 1992 but that could just be memory of the tape since I was 2 when it happened live. The other early memoies that stick out are Bret Hart winning King of the Ring and the Undertaker spectacle at Royal Rumble 1994.

Last night on Raw.
I saw Vince, Stephanie and Shane in the ring and I was hooked! It looks to be very new and creative and never done before in the past, so I must watch..... haha just kidding.
My earliest memory is being 4 years old and naming off Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Nikolai Volkoff, Iron Sheik, Big John Studd, Junkyard Dog, Hillbilly Jim and Andre the Giant. But I don't really remember watching them at that time frame, which is odd that I knew their names.
My first real memory of wrestling, would be when Ricky Steamboat took the time keepers bell to the throat by Savage in Nov. 1986. I am sure I watched it before that, but nothing registers. The Steamboat/Savage incident is my first real watching wrestling memory.

Late 1997 or early 1998 I would say.

Full time, 2005. First match I saw was JBL vs. Big Show in the barbed wire cage. Wow, what a way to start, man! That match was amazing. 2007 is when I first started, but my mom loved wrestling and showed me everything she knew and loved. Now, she dreads it being on the tv. My first memory of wrestling is the Undertaker's entrance. I was hooked. |

Been a fan since birth. My parents watched wrestling in their early years. The WWF was ingrained into the New York culture. My earliest memories as a fan was when The Undertaker became the WWF Champion as the 1991 Survivor Series and later onto Ric Flair winning the 1992 Royal Rumble. As for attending a show, it would have been the January 11th, 1993 RAW. Watching pro-wrestling has always been part of my fabric. Guess that is why I can watch the lows of wrestling and find the silver lining. Hell, I remember watching early to mid-90's WCW. For those ho have the network, I would suggest watching WCW PPV's from that time period. One of my favorites was Steve Austin vs. Dustin Rhodes from Halloween Havoc 1991 and War Games from Wrestle War 1992.

14 January 2008, I remember very well as my birthday was two days prior. That was the Raw where Jeff Hardy hit a Swanton Bomb from 30ft onto Orton. That was the coolest thing I've seen when I first saw it. Was hooked since then. How I even got hooked on watching was actually from playing the game. Parents got me SvR 2008 for Christmas, and I loved that game. I honestly thought it was just a game though, didn't know it was based on real life (oblivious me). When I found out WWE was actually on TV, I went in the game to GM mode and looked up the dates each show came on, and started watching from there. From there, I got into collecting figures as well. Had a pretty decent collection of RA's and DA's before moving to Mattel, and collecting a big majority of Elites up until Elite 18.

Mid-2004. It was the show where Eddie cheated to get Big Show fired, and Show chokeslammed Kurt off the balcony. So, I guess sometime in July. Been addicted since, MAGGLE.
