Some Monday Night Raw in November 1995. I was 10. I remember the Undertaker was on it, and I thought he was really cool. Don't we all?

My first vague memory of wretling is watching Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid dropkicking someone when they were still in Stampede Wrestling. Our TV didn't have a proper antena and the signal from Edmonton's station was unreliable.
My earliest clear memory of wrestling is watching "Honky Tonk" Wayne Ferris (a.k.a. The Honky Tonk Man) put someone (I think it was Nick Bockwinkel) in a Boston Crab and "Rotton" Ron Starr try to injure Bock with a series of knee drops from the second rope. Bock was saved by bodybuilder/wrestler Tom McGee. I don't remember the match that followed.

Considering Tom Magee was in the followup match, it's probably a good thing you don't remember it.

I don't recall entirely but I remember it being an old NWA show with Kevin Sullivan and Bam Bam Bigelow beating the hell out of Captain Mike Rotunda. I'm pretty sure I saw shows before this but this is what I recall seeing the earliest.
First live show I recall was in December of 1990 with Hulk Hogan taking on Earthquake. Again, my Mom swears up and down that I saw Warrior vs Andre the previous year (with the "infamous" best match ever between Bret Hart and Mr. Perfect) but I don't remember seeing it.

First wrestling show, yep. I remember loving this PPV and falling in love with the company. Couldn't watch WWF until 2000 due to my Mom not approving of Raw

Sometime in late 98. All I can remember hazily was that HHH was in DX as a face, so it had be around the time before he got injured by Shamrock.

The first WWF Metal after the 2000 Royal Rumble I believe, I have little memory of it apart from Big Show bitching about how The Rock's feet touched the mat first in the RAW recap.
I flicked around for a little while before that, after I was intrigued after randomly renting WWF Attitude, I remember catching The Rock cutting a promo on Al Snow (December 99?) and even before that Michael Cole promoting No Mercy 99 in an old studio, as well as Austin tying 'Taker to his own symbol whenever the hell that was (or if I'm even recollecting that correctly!).
I have no idea why specifically the Metal after the 2000 Rumble got me hooked whereas the others kept me flicking through casually.
First live show was a 2003 show at the London Arena called Tour De Force, the show ended with various wrestlers, including a future murderer, dancing to the Too Cool theme.

I'm willing to bet it was "Bruiser Bedlam", the best of the old AWA on Sunday afternoon at Noon. The year, I don't recall - maybe 1982 or '83. (We went to church on Sundays and didn't get home until almost 12.) If you seen one, you seen them all - Verne Gagne vs. Nick Bockwinkel in a cage from the Chicago Amphitheater sometime in 1974. Bobby Heenan always got involved, and got thrown into the cage, busted wide open.
My first WWF experience was in 1984, Andre the Giant in a 3-on-1 handicap match against 3 scrubs.
