For me it was my Grandma she the one who got into wrestling at the young age as she used to babysit me when my Mum and Dad at work. Me And Gran would go to the video shop and rent wrestling videos and after we lunch we would watch it. Grand would love it she loved all wrestlers from WWF 80's and 90's Hulk Hogan Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth was her favorites
who got you into wrestling?

I got into it myself. When Ireland got Sky TV WWF came with it. It was late 88 & I was hooked immediately. My father thought they were & I quote "f*ckin fairies" LOL. He loved how much I liked it though & would often suffer it with me. He bought me Hasbro's & wrestling magazines....loved me reading. Felt it was very important to read and if it was PWI, WWF & WCW magazine? so be it.

My brother and some friends. Before I new anything about wrestling, a friend of mine who was a huge fan of wrestling was over my house one day watching it and I started getting interested in it. After that, my brother and I would watch it together. Then later on, some friends and I would watch the Raw's and Nitro's. Like JokerFC, my dad really did not like wrestling, he would just roll his eyes at some of the storylines and characters - kind of like what I do now when I watch todays product... Weird... |

My earliest memory is watching it with my dad. So I would think he got me into it. Not sure what made him a fan of wrestling, but as a child, you kind of looked up to what your parents do at times and my dad watched wrestling so it had to be cool, right?!?!

I got myself into it. My dad would watch with me a lot and we'd go to the Rosemont Horizon to see it live, my dad was even at WrestleMania 2, 8, and 9. He recently watched a Royal Rumble from about three years ago on YouTube, and his exact quote was: "Who the hell are all these bungholes???" lol, my dad is like Archie Bunker.

My first memory watching wrestling was with my dad and older brother. We ordered a few ppvs between WrestleMania 3 and summerslam 88.
My dad wasn’t fully in to it, he mostly just was having some fun with it I guess. My brother just liked the pop culture aspect at that time.
Most of the wrestling I watched growing up I watched by myself.

My very earliest memory was watching with my older cousin. Growing up though I was the only one in the house who liked it. My parents hated it and my brothers only watched it because I did, but as they got older they didn’t want to do what big brother did.

Nobody really. My parents werent wrestling fans. I had some distant family members that watched but we werent close so didnt watch together. Even now I tend to prefer to watch wrestling (and most sports) alone.

I watched wrestling with my college roommates pretty much all the way from 96-2000 and then that’s where the journey ends my friends.
