Don't remember a single detail about it, to be honest. I was 2 years old and my long term memory hadn't fully developed yet. All I know is that it was late 1990/early 1991 WWF, and that because I started watching it so early, I don't even know what life without wrestling is like.

I became a wrestling fan through WCW, but the first WWF show I saw in full was a replay of Survivor Series 97 of all things

I don't know what the VERY first WWF tv show I saw was. It was when I was a little kid, during the Rock 'N' Wrestling era and I was at a friend's house. I do remember that they showed a battle royal of some kind and that there was one guy who was just bleeding all over the place and needed to be carried out by several guys. Not sure if that'll ring a bell with anybody. Anyway, I didn't watch regularly back then.
I started seriously getting into it starting in 1996, and the first Raw I watched aired during the build to HBK challenging Sid for the world title in San Antonio.

Wrestlemania V on VHS.
If that doesn't count, the first show I saw live was Survivor Series 1994. All I can remember is it had Chuck Norris.

Would have been an episode of Livewire back in late '97. Damn, I loved that show!

I remember plenty of old WWF Superstars episodes from 1991, but can't remember the FIRST show I watched. I remember WrestleMania 8 being the first PPV I ever bought. I still remember bugging my parents non-stop until they finally gave in

I remember watching an episode of All American Wrestling back in late 1990. That was the first time I watched wrestling.
I remember there was a 6 Man Tag Match on there with Sgt. Slaughter, Earthquake and Dino Bravo teaming up.

One of the first things I remember seeing is an Undertaker graveyard promo about Mankind... other than that, I wish I could be more specific

I remember watching a syndicated WWF show way back in 1992 that was showing the results of the Tuesday in Texas PPV. All I remember of that is Jake Roberts slapping Elizabeth.
In my more recent run as a wrestling fan, it's a December 1996 episode of Raw where The Undertaker fought Mankind in the main event. December 9th, looking at recaps online.

Sometime in 1998, but I can't remember what was going on. All I can remember from time was being a huge Triple H mark, hating Shawn Michaels with a burning passion for no reason, and always seeing The Undertaker.

I remember the first wrestling show I watched was at my grandparent's house in the evening, so I'm thinking it was one of the Saturday Night's Main Event shows back in the 80's. The first shows I watched regularly were WWF PrimeTime Wrestling on USA (the one where they would interview wrestlers in front of a studio audience) and WWF Superstars on Saturday mornings.

All I know is that it was late 1990/early 1991 WWF, and that because I started watching it so early, I don't even know what life without wrestling is like. Same here (though different timeframe). I've always watched wrestling since I had Hulk Hogan PJs and Ultimate Warrior winter hat and gloves. But the first show that I can distinctly remember was when Shawn Michaels threw Marty Jannetty through the Barber Shop window.

The first wrestling show I remember was Georgia Championship Wrestling, I remember Tommy Rich being attacked by Buzz Sawyer. First WWF was when the Iron Sheik attacked Bob Backlund with the Persian clubs.
Yeah, I'm old.
