The first WWF show I watched was the War To Settle The Score.

An episode of WWF SuperStars in either 84 or 85. Watched it religiously every weekend as a kid along with Primetime Wrestling on Monday Nights. A tradition which has carried with me to this day with RAW and SmackDown. Shudders at all the hours I've spent watching wrestling in my life.

Summerslam 1991 I was 6 years old and my older brother's friend taped it off tv for him and remember watching it in our old living room I thought it was the most awesome thing ever.

The first show I can recall seeing is the Raw where Undertaker and Kane break Vince's ankle.

WrestleMania VI. My Dad had rented the VHS and I sat down next to him to watch it. We ate Macaroni and Cheese and watched Ultimate Warrior vs. Hulk Hogan.
I was 6 years old. I was hooked.

The first match I can remember was a WCW tag match in the mid-90's, between an American and an English team. Doing some research, I would guess that it was The Patriot & Bagwell vs. Regal & Bobby Eaton.
But that was at a friend's house, since I didn't have any of the channels that showed wrestling. I did look at some footage online in the early 2000's, but the first full episode I saw was in October 2004. Cena had just won the best of five series against Booker, and proceeded to lose the US belt to the debuting Carlito.

Wrestlemania 6. Or at least that's first one I remember. In all likelihood I was watching sooner.

The earliest thing I can remember is watching the Smackdown 2: Know Your Role advert with Kurt Angle, and loving it.

Don't remember the exact show but my earliest memories are Piper attacking Dave Wolffe and Captain Lou and Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy cutting Andre's hair.

If you're talking WWF, I remember being at my friend's house and his brother was flipping channels and stopped on Superstars, because he saw Andre. It ended up being where Big John Studd and Ken Patera beat down Andre the Giant and they cut his hair.
The crowd was just in shock, no reaction at all. They were stunned that anybody could do that to the Giant.
Edit: Snips, it was Patera who had Andre locked in his full-nelson.

isn't it amazing how memories stand up? most of us never really go back to check the results of shows and if we do it doesn't jog anything. we all write "I think" and "maybe" and get certain facts skewed or entirely wrong.
I find this interesting...

Gotta look at it like this: speaking on behalf of a lot of us "older" fans, back then they did TV tapings for shows that went over a 4-week period. So, if I just pulled a date out of the sky, it could be wrong because the air date wouldn't jive with the taping date, or it could be because I saw it on a Saturday and it could be also aired on a Friday night or a Sunday morning.
Look at the angle they shot the Randy Savage attack on Ricky Steamboat. It was taped October 28th, 1986, but I specifically saw it on the morning of November 22nd because it was my brother's birthday and he was having friends over to go and see "Back To the Future II". I didn't go because that angle disturbed me to the point I didn't want to do anything.

Wrestlemania 8 was my first, still one of my favourites to this day. Bret Hart v Roddy Piper and Randy Savage v Ric Flair are both classics in my view. The latter of course has taken on far greater sentimental value now as well.

The first show I saw was probably an episode of WWF Superstars in late 1992.
