First ever thing I saw was Taker coming out to join his Survivor Series team in the ring on an episode of Raw. I was hooked then.

The Rock.
He's the one who got me hooked on professional wrestling and is still my favorite to this day.

Ron Garvin and Randy Savage. ICW was my first exposure to wrestling, and seeing these 2 whether against each other or not, they got me hooked on to wrestling to this present day.

That's gotta be Kane. Instantly hooked by his awesome look and badass mannerisms in 2001-2002 and half-masked Kane was my wrestling hero as a kid.

I really got into Ultimate Warrior during Wrestlemania V, but one night I caught NWA Worldwide in syndication and a Great Muta versus Scott Hall match was on and I fell in love with professional wrestling. Hall was kind of a jobber, but I loved his work, and Muta blew my mind with the quick elbow, mist, and his flippity flips.

First time. Around WM 12. Ahmed Johnson...seriously dude was a f***ing superhero to me. Then getting more into it, Shawn for sure.
Second time. New Year's Revloution? My first show back since 99 ish. So Edge cashing in MITB was what me start to love it again. Then when Punk debut. He really sealed my love for wrestling.

I was a fan of Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Rude, Flair, Steamboat, etc., but when I first saw the Great Muta he became my guy......and then Liger showed up.

I don't remember a time in my life where I wasn't a fan. I can't pinpoint one show/match that sparked it all. My Mom is a fan so I'm convinced that I've been watching it since the day I was born. As a kid, I am pretty sure I rented the 92 Rumble almost weekly.

Undertaker. It was Halloween 94 and we were at my Nana's house. I walked into my Uncle's room and he was playing Royal Rumble on the SNES. He showed me Undertaker, who I thought was pretty cool. Then, on Thanksgiving, he showed me the Casket Match from the previous night's Survivor Series, where Undertaker beat Yokozuna. I was in awe at a guy Yoko's size being scared of anyone, and Taker was pretty cool. From there, I found others I liked, but I have a special affinity for Taker. My uncle got very sick in 1998 and spent months in the hospital before being moved to a nursing home. Shortly after he got moved, my mom took us to visit him. I had just bought WWF The Music 3 and brought it with me. I put my headphones on him and played the first track, The Undertaker's then-new theme song. That got the biggest reaction from him that we had seen in months. Years later, I brought the Survivor Series Anthology in to watch with him, and put on the 1991 show. When Hogan/Undertaker came on, his face lit up. After he died, I was watching WrestleMania 28 and during the Hell in a Cell match, I felt a presence in the room with me and I swear it was my uncle. The Undertaker will always be my all-time favorite, because of the connection I had and still get to have with my uncle, through wrestling.

The first night of wrestling I remember was Macho Man turning on Hogan. I was five years old and I was hooked. But it wasn’t until I saw the Ultimate Warrior did I fall in love.
