Started to see some wrestling around 1999. But didn't start watching properly until 2000.

89' is as far back as i can really remember, then in to the early 90's with challenge and superstars.
Watched it ever since, well, i haven't watched it in nearly a year, not through choice but through not having any channels to watch it on (UK).

93 or 94 I think. I was 9. I remember watching Superstars on USA. Then there was Monday Night Raw, BUT my bedtime was at 9, so I used to sneak my tv on, turn the volume to the lowest possible notch, and lower the contrast so you couldn't see the glow of the tv from my bedroom door. Then I'd sit about 2 inches away from it so I could watch 123 Kid beat Razor Ramon for that bag of money, or Doink beat the Goon with the Whoopie Cushion.

It's really hard for me to explain, but most of my life I've been a fan of wrestling in some form or another. For instance, I have wrestling figures from the first series Hasbro and Galoob from 1990/1991 when I was only 2 or 3 years old, yet I have no memories or video tapes of wrestling from the time period. I used to attend wrestling events regularly in the early 90s as well as I have a few events from 1993/1994 on tape. I'm pretty sure I switched from WWF to WCW around 1995 but I remember watching scrambled TV of the Ironman match at WrestleMania 12 the next year at home.  I have many tapes from 1997-1998, which I believe is when I started watching regularly or atleast those are the two years I REMEMBER watching regularly. Ever since then, I've been a wrestling fan pretty much every year for the last ten years. I didn't watch as much during late 2006 to mid-2007, but I've been watching every show each week since around Survivor Series of last year. Honestly, I don't think there will ever be a time in my life when I'm not still a wrestling fan (of classic or current wrestling), which is fine by me. |

i started watching in about 1985 or so...i always watched it as a youngster because i had an older brother that watched it..the earliest memory of me watching it when i actually had the power of the remote control (lol) was about 1988..when andre the giant gave the wwf title to ted dibiase....that storyline there..with andre,dibiase,virgil,hogan,savage,elizabeth...is what really got me into wrestling.

I always had it in my life as my best friend since birth was a huge fan, and my grandfather loved it, so I grew up with it. I can vividly remember 1993 and 1994 but apparently I watched it even before then. I did walk away from the current product for periods around 04 and 06, but have come back full time now, although I mainly watch classic stuff. I'm discovering 80's NWA and early 90's WCW which I love and am reliving the classics mainly now.

I've been a fan my entire life, but the first thing I remember watching of wrestling was RAW 7/5/93 when they aired the footage of Luger slamming Yokozuna.

Whole life, I have more recollections watching it than I do a majority of my childhood.

As early as when I was 4, but I started watching regularly the Raw Heenan was thrown out of the building. His totally 80s jacket is forever etched into my memory.

Before I could talk. The main reason I probably started walking was to do Hulk Hogans pose, running around in Hogan pants.
