What's the first PPV you can remember watching?
Myself, its funny, my only memories of watching wrestling as a child are WWF Superstars and All American Wrestling. I know I watched WCW Saturday Night and Main Event, but these don't stick out as well in my mind.
However, the first PPV I ever watched was Halloween Havoc 89. I was 5 when it came out but I have memories of waking my dad up when the cage match started because I was scared. And I argued for years with my friends, until we found a tape of the show, that the cage was on fire and Muta put it out with the mist (hey, it sort of happened that way).

On VHS: Survivor Series 1989
As it happened: Royal Rumble 2000
My family never had Sky Sports as a kid, so I never had a chance to see them live.

My parents swore we didn't have the box for ordering... which might have been a lie  It also might have just been my parents didn't think I'd be able to sit my ass down for 3 hours. |

Survivor Series 1993, featuring The All-Americans (Lex Luger, The Undertaker and The Steiner Brothers) vs The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Crush, Ludvig Borga, and Quebecer Jacques)
My friend who came to watch brought WWF ice cream bars for everyone, and went home down the block dressed as Uncle Sam after the Americans won.

Watched tons of PPV's on tapes before I bought my first PPV. First one I can remember ordering was Halloween Havoc 1995. That is how I figured out that wrestling was a work with Giant falling off the roof of Cobo Hall and being ok just twenty minutes later lol. My Dad never let me order another Halloween Havoc again, but let me order almost every other WCW PPV.

Wrestlemania VII. I watched it at my Aunt and Uncles house across the street as my parents don't have a dish to watch PPVs. Still have the tape of the PPV somewhere around my place.

Wrestlemania VIII was the first I saw on VHS.
As for live on tv Royal Rumble 2001 I think.

I started watching the WWF on TV around the time of Survivor Series 1990, but didn't get to actually watch a PPV until the Coliseum Video release of WrestleMania 7.
First live PPV would've been a year later with WM8. I still have the original recording somewhere in my parents' attic.

It was Survivor Series 1997. Needless to say my older brother had a hard time explaining the main event to me.
