So as a change of pace from all the “What if” threads I thought I would ask what was the first match you remember watching? Also what are you favorite Classic matches?
For me the first match I remember watching was in 1975-‘76. It was a best of three Tag Team Championship Match between the Executioners (Studd and Kowalski) vs Chief Jay Strongbow and Billy White Wolf.
And my all-time favorite matches are...
1990 GAB Sting vs Flair.
‘00 Royal Rumble NYC Street Fight Triple H vs Cactus Jack.
WrestleMania IX Steiner Brothers vs Headshrinkers.

I can't really pinpoint a single match from my youngest years. I'd begun watching back around '89, but I was still only 4, so my memory is sort of hazy, at best.
When I got back into it as the Attitude Era began heating up, the first thing I remember was Farooq cleaning house on the Nation, canning Crush, Savio, etc.
I'd tuned in at the behest of my friend Josh who swore Hogan and Sting were to be in the same ring that night, but I didn't know the difference between WCW and WWF, so I stopped on the first wrestling I found and watched that.
USA was channel 30. TNT was 42. You do the math.
I've never compiled a list of favorite matches, but off the top of my head, I often list Savage/Steamboat (WMIII), Michaels/Ramon (WMX), Bret/Owen (WMX), and HHH/Rock (SummerSlam '98). I'm sure there's more, but those are the first to sort of pop into my head.

I actually never have (nor have I gone back to check out my entry-level Raw). |

Honestly it was so long ago I don’t remember the end of the third fall. I just vaguely remember lying on the living room floor watching it with my father, but I only remember bits and pieces of the match now. |

I can't seem to remember my very first match on TV or live for that matter, I was at MLG when I was an infant lol, that I know for sure and I was obsessed about WWF stickers in chips and those ice cream bars. I do have memory of Roddy Piper smashing the coconut on Snuka, so it had to be earlier than that...

Favourite classic matches (no particular order)
Royal Rumble 92
Bulldog, Steamboat and Tornado v Power and Glory and the Warlord
War Games 92
Razor v 123 kid
Triple H v Cactus Jack NWO 2000

Can’t remember the 1st match, but it was definitely a WCCW tv show, probably 1985. Maybe 84. Started watching WWF late 85/early 86. 1st live event was February 5, 1987. I know there was a Lanny Poffo match because I still have a frisbee. Blackjack Mulligan won a bunkhouse battle royal. Main event was Piper vs. Adonis. I can remember the last 30 seconds of that match like it happened yesterday.
