Can you remember yours?
Mine was back in 1990. It was the WCW Power Hour on Saturday morning. I don't remember the date, but the main event was 'Stunning' Steve Austin and Beautiful Bobby vs. Flyin' Brian and The Z-man. Austin and Bobby won after a double-team Stun Gun on Z-man.
I think another match might have been The York Foundation vs. Big Josh and Mike Graham, which The York Foundation won. On a side note, it wasn't until about 12 years later that I learned Terri Runnels was Alexander York.
Also, the first PPV I ever watched was Wrestlemania 6, which I rented a few months after I started watching wrestling regularly.
Yours?

December 22, 1997. The nWo takes over WCW Monday Nitro.
Yes, the moments some people claim as one of the worst Nitro moments ever caught this then-7-year-old's eye as he was flipping channels and somehow hooked him forever.

My dad took me to a UWF show at the Northside/Cowtown Coliseum in Ft. Worth when I was 4 years old.

It was an episode of Superstars featuring "Playboy" Buddy Rose vs. a jobber. Yes, the Blow Away Diet made me a fan for life.

My cousin showed me Wrestlemania 8, when it first came out on video. I was 6 I think, and I loved it.

My family had just gotten a VCR and my older brother came home with Wrestlemania I. That must have been early 1986, because I remember I started watching wrestling on TV after that, and before I knew - they were hyping Wrestlemania II.

I was channel surfing one day in '85 when I came across the Road Warriors vs. Fabulous Freebirds at Comiskey Park on an AWA syndicated show. When I saw Hawk pummeling Bam Bam Gordy, I thought me likey this!

My first wrestling event I saw on TV was NWA/WCW, specifically the part where The Road Warriors gouged Dusty Rhodes' eye with a spike. Live it was a PWI wrestling show with Flash Flannigan and Bobo Brazil Jr.

From what I recall, it was an episode of WWF Championship wrestling. I got into wrestling because of Mr. T's involvement which was pure genius on Vince's part (I'm assuming it was his idea) anyway. I remember my mom telling me and my brother that Piper and Hogan were supposed to be on one Saturday afternoon after us seeing them on the A-Team, so how could I resist? Been a fan ever since

I remember being at my cousins house and watching Wrestlemania 10. Or at least I'm pretty sure it was. I remember Bam Bam and Luna vs Doink and Dink, and unless they had another tag match somewhere else it would have been it. However the first show I watched when I became a fan full time was an episode of RAW where Triple H got Steve Austin thrown in jail or something.

I don't remember. It could have been any random WWF or NWA show in 1984/85.

I used to sit on the couch with my older brother and watch it with him all the time, but I was really young back then. First match I can remember watching was a tag team battle royal on Superstars (Maple Leaf Wrestling for me being in Canda) before Wrestlemania VII. I remember watching Wrestlemania VII at my Aunt's house a few weeks later and Macho Man vs. Warrior sending me into a state of amazement. That was when I knew I'd be a fan for life.

First WWF show I ever saw was Wrestlemania VIII. I remember how brutal I thought Bret vs. Piper was.
First WCW show I ever saw was the Nitro after WarGames when Curt Hennig joined the NWO.
