What's the first thing you remember when watching WWE

[Instant Classic]

For me the Jericho/Triple H Mania 18 feud. I think the first thing I remember was when the bulldog sh** in the office.

[The Man They Call Asher]

A guy in a gimp mask beating up Triple H.

[Hawk Hart]

These are based off what I can remember but I know for certain I saw matches and shows going all the way back to when I was 2-5 but I have no memories of them.

First Moment: Undertaker entrance circa January 1998 on Raw.
First Episode of TV: Technically it would be the Livewire/Superstars combo from the weekend before Mania XIV but first Raw was the night after Wrestlemania XIV.
First Angle: Austin vs Dude Love serving as the catalyst to keep Austin and McMahon moving forward.

[Kayfabe FAN don't want none]

Austin murdering Triple H with a forklift. SS 2000.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

First clear memory? King Haku being brought down to the ring at Mania 5. That's my first wrestling memory, but I know I saw it before but no idea what or who, just not WWF, I know that. Probably Stampede.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

First angle: The NWO running over the Rock with that Semi-truck.
First match: RVD vs. Mr. Perfect (...I think) on an episode of Raw.

I believe they only faced off once on Sunday Night Heat, but I could be wrong.

Shaky area. I know I watched ALOT from 89-91, I can even recall exact moments. But my cognitive timeline starts at Summerslam 92.

[mcmahonfan85]

not the actual first thing i remember from watching any WWE (because for years i though pro wrestling was beyond stupid), but its the first thing i remember from when i started following WWE:

[The Tank]

Earliest show I remember clearly was when I started watching wrestling again in 2002 during which, among other things, some muscly little punk came out to the ring and shouted about Ruthless Aggression and then almost beat Kurt Angle.

So yeah, there's a personal reason I'm so tired of John Cena nowadays: because I've literally seen the dude's WWE career from day one. I've seen him change before, I wanna see it happen again!

[Ron Woodsman aka Shempaholic]

The Main Event, February 23, 1990. Hulk Hogan facing Randy Savage with James "Buster" Douglas as the referee.

First match: Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon, Suummerslam 95. The rematch of their WrestleMania X ladder match, both were fan favorites by then. We had a nice collection of wrestling video tapes at my daycare, and I remember watching that match over and over.

First TV show I specifically remember was LiveWire, with Vince Russo (Vic Venom) on there ranting about how lame it is that they have Michael P.S. Hayes and dress him up in a blazer and call him Dok Hendrix. I remember trying to call in and tell that bastard Venom to lay off of Vince McMahon, my favorite announcer.

First major angle: definitely the NWO. I know I was watching before this but what sticks out is when "Sting" turned on Lex Luger and left him lying in the rain. Very striking tone to that segment.

I definitely knew of and watched wrestling before 95, but that's when the specific memories kick in.

[celticjobber]

It was before I was a fan (I was like 2 or 3 at the time), but I vaguely remember Roddy Piper hitting Hogan with a chair from some show in the mid-80's.

My first real memory as a fan was Ultimate Warrior doing a promo on Superstars or Wrestling Challenge around 1990.

[BorneAgain]

The show where they changed their name to WWE obviously.

[TOK Is the Target Demo]

Shawn Michaels elbow dropping Shane McMahon through a table on Saturday Night's Main Event. I was 12, watching with my friend ironically because we felt we were too cool for it at the time. Now, I'm hooked.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I remember seeing a recap/history package of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant's feud. I don't think I saw the actual Saturday Night's Main Event shows where the angles too place, since I think I watched syndicated shows like Superstars or Wrestling Challenge. I started watching WWF around the time of the first WrestleMania. I rented the early PPVs from a video store when they were released. My memory gets a lot more clear around 1990, though I was watching before then.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

A promo before (I think) the Royal Rumble where Rock called Kane a "big red retard".

[Injustice45]

Edge cashing in the Money in the Bank on the Undertaker in 2007.

First thing I remember is a random Mankind / Shamrock match.
