The first match I ever saw was when I was 11 at a friend's house. I was trying to get him to go outside to play basketball but he wanted to finish watching wrestling first. It was the summer of 1995, WCW Saturday Night, Hulk Hogan vs. One Man Gang. I didn't start watching on a regular basis just yet, but I slowly got into it, starting by watching the Raw replays later in the week, and it probably became a regular thing for me to watch leading up to WrestleMania 12.

First around 1990 for a year or two, probably fell off shortly before Hogan departed for WCW. Picked it up again around 1997, right up until around the first Brand Extension. Stayed abreast of what was happening 'cause I still bought the video games every year, picked up watching for a bit in spats around 2003 and then again around 2005 coinciding with live shows I happened to attend. WWE '13 kinda sucked me back in again, and I've been on board pretty much since.

I was 6. It was survivor series 1991. My grandpa was a uuge fan. And really my most memorable match (basically the first match I remember seeing ever) was Natural disasters and IRS vs LOD and Big Boss Man. I was enthralled by the super large characters. I was sold from that point on. I lost interest during the ruthless agression era and now watch raw and nxt mostly.

2001. I was 10 years old. I turned on SmackDown! one day and found Stone Cold beating up Booker T. in a supermarket. There was no turning back.
It is ironic though because this was right after wrestling was SUPER POPULAR. I HATED all the kids in grade school with me where all they would do is talk about wrestling. I never watched it. I didn't care. I hated everyone. They lose interest and I pick it up and I have been a fan ever since. Kids are so fickle with their interests.

I guess 92-93 (age 4-5)? I definitely remember watching the 1990 Survivor Series from Blockbuster with Warrior, Tornado, Perfect, etc... so I guess then.

Good lord , you guys are all babies. I'm in PJ's age range I guess. I knew of wrestling when I was a toddler, my dad sold cattle to the funks, Von Erichs, ect. We would eat dinner with them ect. We watched it all the time when I was a kid and went to a lot of WCCW events. I rember being confused when I was little as to why Race and Backlund were world champions at the same time.

Early 1979. Chattanooga, TN. I'm not 100% sure of the territory. I think it was the Gulf Coast Championship Wrestling territory that Nick Gulas promoted, but the television tapings were at done at a local Chattanooga, TN television station with the infamous Harry Thornton as the announcer. A VERY young Bobby Eaton was my favorite. Then we moved to North Carolina for the summer, and it was the Mid-Atlantic territory. Over to Kentucky in the fall, and the Memphis territory. Finally to Virginia at the beginning of 1980 and back to the Mid-Atlantic territory for the next several years.
