I started watching wrestling in about 1995, and that was mostly WCW, I didn't really start watching WWE until about 1999. Here are my stand-out memories: 1995: the dungeon of doom is evil!! the studd stable is annoying, the renegade = WTF?, the giant is very cool, alex wright is pretty good, Harlem Heat is great, Big Bubba Rogers is much cooler than Bossman 1996: Hulk Hogan is getting boring (early 1995), nWo is pretty cool, Hogan turning heel = GENIUS, Eric Bischoff = GENIUS, is Sting WCW or nWo? Cruiserweights are awesome 1997: nWo is the coolest thing EVER, lol @ DX being so obviously a total rip-off of nWo, nWo = bad ass, DX = childish and boring 1998: nWo is getting boring now, DDP is becoming awesome, Raven's Flock is a cool idea, Mortis/Kanyon is cool, Austin & The Rock = boring (to me) I don't understand why everyone likes them so much 1999: WWF is getting more exciting than WCW (to me) 2000: The Mamalukes and KroniK are great teams, Vince Russo = moron 2001: The death of WCW , the WCW/Invasion was handled very badly and ended up being crap, WMX7 = best WWF PPV EVER, Shane McMahon is awesome, 2002: WWE starts to get crap, nWo 2002 was god awful, Goldust's return was the highlight of the year, I lose interest in wrestling eh... can't be bothered to think of anything else... cool topic idea

I will just do it from when I started watching wrestling
1989: Hogan vs Savage at WmV but also one of my big markout moments as a 8 year old was Warrior winning the IC title back
1990: Not Warrior vs Hogan like most but Summerslam 1990 one of my all time favorite PPV's from start to finish a great show. My highlights being HF vs Demolition & Warrior vs Rude
1991: Rumble 1991 Rockers vs Orient Express my all time favorite match.
1992: Summerslam 1992 I was there may have had crap seats but was still great being there. Who can forget the the return of the Warrior. Also Hart vs HBK at Survivor Series 1992 IMO is better than there WM12 and SS97 matches.
1993: HBK vs Jannetty they had some great matches this year
1994: Hart vs Hart cage match from Summerslam also the beating Taker took at the Rumble.
1995:My favorite year in WWE history Bulldogs heel turn I just never saw it coming,
1996:HBK vs Foley & HBK vs Jannetty as well as Sid winning the WWE title.
1997:Bret Harts last match in the WWE
1998:Austin winning the title. Also a UK PPV called Capital Carnage where I was there live which had a great match between Rock & X-Pac
1999:Rock vs Austin Backlash (yep there backlash match not WMXV)
2000:Summerslam the whole damn PPV. Also the return of Austin and the Rocks promo at Armageddon. Also gotta give mention to Takers return in the excellent Rock vs HHH iron man match
2001:Austin vs Rock at Rebellion I was there live and it was there first match since WM17
2002:HBK returning and winning the title.
2003:Insurextion I thought I had crap seats as I was near the announce tables but HHH had a great brawl 2 feet away from me lol also the first time since 1997 I had seen HBK live.
2004:John Cena I was (and still am) a huge Cena fan and it started mainly during 04
2005:Hogan vs Michaels
2006:Edge winning the title
