This may have already been started multiple times already but here goes. What was the first show you remember seeing? For me, it was the episode of SmackDown! in '99 where HHH had to win 3 out of 5 gimmick matches to enter into the Six Pack Challenge at Unforgiven. I remember those matches themselves but nothing else on the card. I just looked up the results and it doesn't help jog my memory at all outside of Trips' matches. My next memory is of Trips getting bitten by the rattlesnake and coming out to forfeit the title. I totally bought it. I was pumped. I hated HHH. I don't really recall watching anything specific after that but I started watching regularly around Survivor Series. Huge Big Show mark. p.s. Who pushed Mankind off the wall in his BoilerRoom Brawl with HHH? I've never been able to figure that one out. Was it Val Venis? Or Chyna? She's got muscly arms.

It was Smackdown in 2004: John Cena attacking Kurt Angle while he was in a wheel chair or something like that. And my first RAW was Lita and Kane backstage making that Til Death Do Us Part match for Summerslam.
I was pretty much hooked the night after Summerslam when Evolution turned on Orton. But I didn't start watching obsessively until after Unforgiven.

The first WWF show...I can't remember. Everytime I walked in when my buddies dad had WWF on, Isaac Yankem always seemed to be on TV.

I don't even remember which show it was. It had to be one episode of WWF Wrestling Challenge as I was watching it with my uncles every Sunday morning during my childhood from the age of 4.

I was 3-Years-Old at the time, so I don't remember specifics other than it was early 90's WCW.

While I probably first became familiar with WWF around 1990 and started watching heavily around Summerslam '91, the first show I vividly remember seeing was when Jake's cobra bit Randy Savage's arm.

Well the first actual wrestling show I watched was Wrestlemania 2000. The show itself didn't get me into wrestling though. I finally got hooked with wrestling around 2001/2002.

I believe it was a Saturday Night's Main Event before Survivor Series 1992 was the first FULL show. I would have been about 7. Michaels beat Bulldog for the IC title and the main event was Bret Hart vs. Papa Shango.
I taped it and watched constantly.

Wrestlemania IV on VHS at my uncle's house, sometime in 94-95. I was really young and liked books about animals at the time so when I saw the British Bulldogs and Koko B. Ware came out they instantly made an impression on me, as did Ted DiBiase. However, I didn't really watch wrestling regularly until sometime later I was channel surfing and found WCW Saturday Night and Vader, who I thought was somehow from Star Wars.

WCW was Worldwide on Channel 5, the main event was a six man tag involving Sting and Hogan, dunno who else. First episode of it I watched in full the main event was Hogan/Sid for the world heavyweight title, and Hogan won when Rick Steiner interfered and Hogan pinned him ( ??). First episode of ECW was in mid-2000. The Network were destroying lots of people. First episode of WWF was the episode of Heat just before Royal Rumble where Kurt Angle beat Christian.

It would have been a random Nitro more than likely in around 1998 when I was 5. WWF it would probably be an episode of RAW from around January 2000 time. I remember hating HHH back then.

Dunno the exact date, but I remember vividly Triple H with Chyna by his side going in on Jesse "the Body" Ventura, who was sitting governor at the time.

The first show I ever saw was Wrestlemania 14 when I was 8. My dad had ordered it for my brother and me on PPV, and we watched it on a black and white TV. It didn't get me hooked on wrestling though. What got me hooked on wrestling was watching Nitro and seeing Goldberg run wild and the Wolfpack do their thing.
