My grandpa watched it when I was younger. He came and picked me up and took me to his friends house and we watched a couple minutes of GAB 1990. I remember Sting and Ric Flair doing these weird things around the ring...I thought it was amazing! I have been hooked ever since. I will be 28 on saturday and I have been watching professional wrestling for 23 years now...god time sure does fly...

December 27, 1999, flipping through the channels as a 9 year old on third grade winter break...came across Mankind vs. The Rock in a Pink Slip on a Pole match. The rest is indeed history.

First match I ever saw was in 95. It was WCW.. My stepdad introduced me to WWF, the following week, and since then, I was hooked. I vowed to do it some day, no matter what. I always told my parents I'd be in there when I grew up. Low and behold..
Couldnt be happier. Each show I go to feels like my wedding day. Over and Over. However I hadnt been cleared to perform until not this weekend, but next. So Im sure itll feel like that, tenfold.

The first match I ever saw was the The Rock vs Triple H with Shawn Michaels being the Referee and screwed The Rock by giving him a SCM. I didn't get hooked into it until my dad one day decided to order Royal Rumble 2004 then later on ordered NWO 2004, and WM XX. Those 3 PPV's were the best.

When my family first got Cable TV I decided to look at all the shows on at the time, I came across Raw and watched it, it was the night Batista attacked Goldberg for the bounty, it was late 2003 I believe, I wasn't very interested untill 2006 when everywhere at school got into it so I started watching a lot more.

Was flipping through the channels on TV one night when I was bored, found SD! and I've been watching ever since. It was the night that Big Show lost to Eddie Guerrero and threw Kurt Angle off the balcony.
I can not believe it's been almost 10 years, time passes too quickly.

Saw a popular youtuber back in 2010 play Allstars on his channels, thought it looked cool so I bought the game. Fell in love With the oldschool characters like Slaughter, Piper, etc. Just like with Hip-Hop I completely overeducated myself on the subject and here I am now.

Wrestling was just something I was born into. My dad watched it so I watched it. I don't have an "earliest memory" like some of you seem to have because it was just always there.

I couldn't say for sure what initially piqued my interest since I can't remember that far back, but I know from viewing old photos of myself taken between the ages of 3 and 4 that I had the toys (first series Hasbro WWF and Galoob WCW with the blue Hasbro ring).
We're definitely talking early 90's here, but I don't have any evidence of me watching from 1990 to 1992. The earliest stuff I have is the original broadcast of SummerSlam 1993 on VHS tape, as well as a random '93/'94 Monday Night Raw. If I go back and look at the wrestling tapes I have, nearly every year of 90's WWF is covered in some form or another after 1993.
A friend of my father's once had me over to watch a WWF pay-per-view (the SummerSlam '93 tape?) at his apartment. The guy's older son passed down his wrestling figure collection to me and I distinctly remember Hasbro Andre being in the mix. I guess I could credit the both of them, as well as my own parents, for contributing to my wrestling fandom at a young age.

In the late 90s through my cousins, they had the videos, the WarZone game, magazines & the mini Wrestlemania set figures, soon I had all that & more, it was such an amazing little time.

My Step Dad and this game. My stepdad used to watch wresting, Raws and WCW and the old British wrestling growing up. After playing this game and getting an interest in it he shown me a Channel 4 VHS recording of Royal Rumble 2000. Then other PPV's on proper VHS tapes such as WrestleMania 17, 18 and Royal Rumble 1992. (which I still have) I ended up getting a The Rock TTL figure from a market one day (Still have it, black pants figure) which continued the interest in wrestling eventually getting more wrestling figures. I remember getting a SmackDown arena playset, that was the bomb. I watched many 80's and 90's PPVs before watching the 'current' project in late 2002, I think the first PPV at the time was Survivor Series with the very first Elimination Chamber around the time of moving into our new house. I have been watching since and collecting figures and stuff along the way.

My dad would watch it back when I was a kid cause he was a big Bret Hart fan. He use to record a lot of his matches. A friend of mine in elementary school was also a big fan of Bret Hart around the time of the screw job, which is how I got into Shawn Michaels. There were a bunch of kids at my school who were huge into it.

My cousin introduced me to it. He was a huge wrestling nut. My earliest memories were playing with old Jakks BCA's he collected. He gave me D-Lo and told me it was The Rock, I never knew the difference. After he got out of it, I still watched it. The rest is history.
