Well, in 5th grade my friend on the bus talked constantly about it and I had no clue the whole time. So, i asked when it was so i could watch and not be clueless the whoel busride. I watched it once, and I fell in love.

Stone Cold Steve Austin. At the time when Austin was the top baby face in the company in 1999, I was 8 years old and was blown away by the stunts he pulled. I loved his entrance music.
The Undertaker and the Ministry of Darkness scared thr crap out of me so they were fun to watch.

When I was 10 years old, I kept flipping through the channels and there I saw wrestling, I stopped there and I started watching. I was hooked. The first reason was because of the violence and I loved violence when I was a kid. Then I fell in love with Sid Vicious. I also loved fighting games. When I was in 7th Grade my dad gave me SD just Bring It and I started playing it. This is where I saw The Undertaker, A Train, The Rock, Kurt Angle etc. I fell in love.

My cousin was a huge Rockers fan and got me into it in the early 90s.

King Of The Ring 1999. Borrowed from a friend on tape and never looked back wait, I've watched hundreds of PPVs pre KOTR 1999, i guess i have looked back but that's what got me into wrestling.

Not sure, really. My grandfather watched it and I remember being very young watching it at his house and wanting more. My parents would also bring me to small shows booked in my town's school gymnasiums way back when which further sparked my interest.
The first concrete memories of pro wrestling for me was watching the WCW/nWO feud and never wanting to miss an episode of their saturday night show. The first PPV I ever ordered was headlined by Hogan, who I thought was the devil himself at the time, against Roddy Piper, my ultimate hero at the time. Back then I got tired of watching WCW's saturday show overwhelmed by boring midcarders (I remember Finlay vividly being one of them), and never seeing the "big boys play"... one Saturday morning in '97 I finished watched WCW's recap show and flipped onto WWF's recap show... the rest is history.

A family friend. I remember going over to his house when I was 5-ish and watching the WWF, and my dad would bring home WCW tapes from work where one of his friends taped it, and I'd wrestle my Goldberg bear on the sofa watching them.
I don't know what got me hooked, but I remember walking around the house in my speedos and gumboots acting like Stone Cold.

Either from watching it on TV around the age of 4 or 5 ('92-'93) or from one of my dad's friends who would order the ppvs and invite us over when I was still young, but I'm not sure which is the real reason.
All I know is that I have wrestling tapes from before 1993 and pictures of me with some of my first wrestling figures (Hasbro WWF/Galoob WCW Series 1) to make any sense of how long I've been "into" wrestling. Inbetween, I may have stopped watching occasionally or switched promotions for a few months, but I have memories from every year since the early 90s of being a wrestling fan.

I watched it once, and I fell in love. OMG me too only it was like 1st and 2nd grade. They'd ask me who my favorite wrestler was and I was like uhh stone cold steve austin. But i had never watched it a day in my life so I finally watched it and was like DAMN this is the best thing I have ever seen.

Way back in 1985... The LJN figures and the Topps trading cards. Then, when I discovered WWF/E on TV, Roddy Piper was my favorite.
