I must have been watching since before I was born, if that's at all possible.
I remember one day at my aunt's house not long ago, there was a VHS of some NWA from about the late 80's. I found another that had parts of Mid-South/UWF, World Class (Percy Pringle got bloodied, and they blurred it.)and a WWF show fro mthe 80's ( New women's champion Sherri Martel.) She said my grandfather loved wrestling... I did'nt know he did
Mid South came to my town before I was born, my mom and dad went to it. They sadi they remember Ted DiBiase comming out to "Sharp Dressed Man" and my dad berating Skandor Akbar.

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. Yeah pretty much the same here. I have all sorts of stuff from years I can't even remember living so I must have been watching it to an extent back then. But yeah as I said I only remember starting in like 1996.

I have vivid memories of wrestling. I remember Papa Shango used to scare me (Especially when he made warrior throw up.) I remember the break up of The Rockers.

My Uncle sent down my first Wrestling tape to me in Janurary 1999, it had the Corporate Rumble on it, (explains why Bossman is my favourite wrestler), and the Royal Rumble 1999 on it, and since then, I've been getting tapes sent down, or my own method of wrestling
10 Years next Janurary
Hell, I still have the tape

Late 86. Was 15 I think. A friend brought Jimmy Snuka figure to school. The LJN one. I was hooked. Started watching the WWF right then. Got all the LJNs at the store. Played like crazy. House burned down in 91. Quit watching WWF until Summer of 93. Loved Lex Express....Kept watching until I moved to Mexico in 2006. I dont get cable here so bummer.....

My first memory of watching wrestling was right after the Iron Sheik beat Bob Backlund for the WWF title. My dad & my uncle were watching the weekly WWF show and they were airing that match (may have just been highlights). They were really pissed about the Sheik winning the title, to the point where I came over to see what all the fuss was about. Had to have been very late 1983 or Janurary of 1984, since the Sheik wasn't champ for long.
Then, once Hogan beat the Sheik, I was pretty much hooked. I was only 6, so the Hulkster was like a living comic book character to me.

I'd say sometime in 1985. I was only about 5 at the time, but once I saw it for the first time, I was pretty much hooked.
