For some reason it's fascinating to me when I'm at an event and we get started talking about the old days. Some fans jump on board and start talking and others just give you a clueless look.
I've been watching since 1982, toward the endowments of the territorial system days. Can remember vividly watching 10 or so wrestling programs just on Saturday and another 3 or 4 on Sunday.
As much as I miss those days, I k ow for a fact that the territorial system would not work today.
Since I can remember. I was born in 83 and I have memories of my dad taking me to Stampede Wrestling when i was 4 or 5. So 87-88. I remember watching Sat Night Main Event, and it was pretty much all the time until 2002. Started back up full force after WM 25.
I'm sure I've commented here, but if not--"The New Generation" era is when it started for me. I remember watching WWF on Saturday mornings with Yokozuna, Doink, Macho Man, Luger etc.
What really intrigued me is when I first saw surfer Sting--not too long before he became The Crow. He became my first favorite professional wrestler.
Then I became fascinated with the Bret Hart screw-job storyline and then the "AE" came around and it was a done deal.
First memories of watching wrestling I have are watching WWF Superstars and WWF Wrestling Challenge on Saturday and Sunday mornings on FOX, in 1990. Those two shows got me hooked, even though it was mostly just squash matches with a WWF wrestler squashing the shit out of a local, no name jobber.
Since very early in 2000. I didn't start really getting into it until mid to late 2003, and I joined my first forum in late 2004. The rest is history. :ziggler3
Since 2001, the 2 Raw episodes before No Mercy 2001 were the first I saw. Coincidentally those were the last episodes before it got cancelled on tv here. So it's safe to say if I hadn't seen those episodes I would have never heard of WWF and never become a fan.
I remember watching WCW since I was 4. Monday Nitro would be on every Friday night and I'd watch it with my parents every week. I started watching WWE in 2001 shortly after WCW went under and the first full WWE event I ever watched was Wrestlemania 17.
Started watching in 2000 when I was eight years old. I was completely obsessed until I was about fourteen and I stopped watching for a couple of years. Been solidly watching it since then though.
