The War to Settle the Score.
Before that match, I was huge NWA/WCW fan. MTV hyped the hell out of it and I watched it. And got hooked on Hulkamania.

It wasn't WWE, it was NWA I think.
Hiro Matsuda's nasty choke out of Johnny Weaver with Weaver going red and then purple, his eyes rolling to the back of his head and blood dripping from his mouth and nose. THIS would NEVER air today, I had NIGHTMARES over it.
I remember renting Wrestlemania IV as a kid, it came on two tapes. I cried at Demolition bashing Martel with the cane, and then recorded a song with myself denouncing that injustice.

My early childhood and watching wrestling is a blur because my dad rented the VHS' all the time, but the one video I do recall watching was Survivor Series 1990, debut of The Undertaker. My dad to this day is still a huge Undertaker mark, despite not watching the product since 2001.

I think it was The Rock vs Mark Henry. It was either from a PPV or just a tv match but had D-lo hold down Rocks legs so he couldn'y kick out at the end.

Oh man... I can't remember, wanna say it was someone like the Warlord or somebody in some Superstars squash match. Sometime in 1990.

First match I ever watched was Triple H vs. Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship on SmackDown in April 2001. Didn't watch again for a few weeks until TLC III and that intially got me hooked. Watched that year's King of the Ring but didn't really know what exactly was going on with the Invasion angle. Next memory is Kurt beating Booker for the WCW World Championship though. Probably started watching full time just after Vengeance.

WWF used to be on my television every week and sometimes PPV, so my early memories are jumbled. The first match I remember was Bret Hart vs Bam Bam at KotR 1993. I was seven and marking. Good times.

That hour long match between Cena and HBK. I was just channel surfing, saw John Cena, and I HAD to stay and watch. I was 11. I became a fan that day. This makes me feel ancient, and im only twentyfive! Used to watch a load of matches on VHS back in 90/91 cant for the life of me remember any details tho. Watched WCW from 98 + first WWF programming i really remember, well what got me into WWF, was mankind ripping off his shirt and mask to reveal cactus jack. Thiswas sold so well by everyone involved that even having no idea who the characters were, i knew this was a HUGE deal.

The War to Settle the Score. This. Although I never remembered that name for it, for years it was 'that thing with Mr. T. and Cyndi Lauper and Rowdy Roddy Piper on MTV.' I don't even remember anything of the actual match, I may have only seen just promotion for/after it.

I'm really going to show my age here.
It was Tito Santana v The Executioner from Wrestlemania 1. I was 3 and my dad woke me up to watch Wrestlemania on free tv. It was a monday night about 12 mindnight

I was 6 years old. I walked into my living room, my Dad was sitting on the couch eating macaroni and cheese. He was watching WrestleMania VI. Ultimate Warrior vs. Hulk Hogan. I sat on the floor and watched the whole match and was hooked right away.

I had watched a couple before it, but the first I can pin down was rey mysterio, john cena & rob van dam vs rené dupree, kenzo suzuki & booker t. A great match, although I think my judgement was clouded my markdom, because I Mysterio, RVD & Cena were my favourites at the time & I've never really liked Booker.

Rock Bottom 1998 Undertaker Vs Stone Cold Steve Austin in a buried alive match I was already watching WCW at the time, but WWF was considered the 'sexualized wrestling' in the house (By the time Russo/Bischoff regime started, I quietly switched from WCW to WWF)
