My Dad finally got me a PPV and ordered the 1998 Royal Rumble. I still remember asking him if Undertaker was burned to death. Good times.

It was the PPV where Hogan beat HHH for the undisputed title. Other than that the only thing I remember was Kurt Angle wildly swinging a chair, missing his target, the chair hit the ropes and bounced back into his face KO'ing himself.

I was there at the very beginning, the Wrestling Classic from the beautiful Rosemont Horizon in suburban Chicago. (Yes, I entered the contest to win that Rolls, also. I was 11.)
First WWF live PPV experience (only one, actually): WrestleMania 13.
First WCW PPV: Great American Bash '88 (Wasn't the first NWA/WCW PPV - Starrcade '87 wasn't available in our area, despite being shown from the UIC Pavilion - but we did get an option for the Bunkhouse Stampede, which we passed on.)

Not 100% sure, because I was quite young, but the first I definitely remember watching live was Halloween Havoc 1991. I was very scared that one of the good guys was gonna get killed in the chamber of horrors.

I remember watching part of King of the Ring 2000 live with my uncle and some of his friends but the first show I bought with my own money and watched start to finish live was Wrestlemania X7. That was quite an experience for the 10 year old Hawk but that was the first PPV I ever had the chance to buy and I jumped on it. Did any of you guys take a few years before ordering your first PPV when you got into the sport because your TV provider didn't offer PPV?

WCW Uncensored 1995. I just HAD to see the King of the Road so match I convinced my mom and stepdad to order it. Hogan vs. Vader in a strap match and a boxer vs. wrestler match are also things that excited me as a youngster.
EDIT: After reading through this topic, I'm shocked I'm not alone with this answer.

Wrestlemania 3. It was big enough of a ppv that my dad ordered it for us to watch.
