What year did you start watching WWE?

[mayabristow]

What year did you start watching WWE? For me it was around early '93 (around January or Febuary of that year)

No idea. My parents were fans at the time I was born. I have pics of myself at Christmas in 1988 with a wrestling ring and those large rubber toy wrestlers, before the LJNs. So whenever I could cognitively realize what I was going on in front of me. I was born in April 1986, so sometime after that.

1996.

I watched for the first time the Sunday of WMXII and I remember hearing about Bret/Michaels. I remember the "Light My Fire" video from Bret. Anyway, didn't see it but the next night Michaels was champ. Been at it since.

I didn't see most of the early PPVs until the late 80s though when I discovered they were in the video stores, i.e. I was older than 4.

I started watching a little before Backlash 2001.

[Been burned too many times]

Late 1996 I believe.

89. WrestleMania 5.

The last Saturday Night's Main Event on Fox in 1992. My cousins were fans, and they were spending the night at my house and since it was on in prime time we watched it together. I remember rooting for The British Bulldog, and that was the night he lost the I-C belt to Shawn.

Of course, growing up in Memphis I remember watching CWA/USWA from the time I was real little, even though I have no recollection of anything I saw, other than wrestling around with my brothers while watching it.

Late 1985 the family got a VCR and my brother brought home wrestlemania 1 on VHS. After that I tried to find wrestling on TV, and being in the northeast, there was a ton of options - there was actually quite a few times two WWF shows would be on at the same time since we could pick up NYC and Boston stations. NYC had its own WWF show on WPIX and the Boston would have another on WSBK at the same time. I remember it being hard to follow everything, and then Wrestlemania 2 came around, and that's where I remember really starting following all the storylines and everything.

End of December '99/beginning of 2000, just before the Royal Rumble which was on Channel 4. Boy I was spoilt by that PPV.

Summer 2000

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

I used to watch WCW since 96, but switched to WWE in late 98 around the time that The Rock became the Corporate Champion, and started watching WWE regularly ever since.

[Famous Rocking Chimes]

2000. I can never tell when the exact month was though. Part of me remembers Stephanie giving Austin his hat back at Unforgiven, another part remembers someone (either Stephanie or Lita) calling someone "that bitch" while being looked after by EMTs, another part remembers the hype video for Austin/Rikishi (which made me want to start watching just so I could see Austin get revenge on Rikishi for running him over. At 6 years old I knew that there was some serious **** going down).

[linecookguy]

1992

The Bushwackers, Hulk Hogan, and Tatanka were my idols

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Regularly, the summer of 1991. My guys were Ric Flair, Undertaker and Macho Man.

[________ has left the building]

1984 even though I had been watching wrestling since 1982.
