I had been watching pro wrestling since I was maybe 3 or 4 (Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling), but I was not prepared for the first time I saw the WWF. youtu.be/B4_E2ZcIgsM

First really vivid memory is The Rock cutting his promo on all the dude's right before Hell in a Cell.
I feel like I had to have seen it a little earlier in passing though, because I knew who Ken Shamrock was before I started watching UFC and I was into the UFC before wrestling.

The Hogan Earthquake feud in late 90-91 I came here to say the same thing honestly. It was way before I was a fan, and I saw it on TV.

A recap of the Sgt. Slaughter/Ultimate Warrior/Randy Savage feud, from Sherri pleading with Warrior to give Savage a title shot to Savage helping Slaughter beat Warrior for the belt.

It was either the rock getting run over by the NWO truck, or a DDP and Christian segment during Christian's long losing streak.

A recap of what happened in an Elimination Chamber match with Goldberg and Triple H. I guess it's no wonder why the Elimination Chamber is my favourite match type.

The 15 man Hardcore Match from Wrestlemania 2000. Albeit I had watched a tape my cousin gave me of Survivor Series 1989 a good bit prior to that. But I don't count it since I was born in 1991.

My first very vague memory will have been from 1991, when I was visiting a friend of mine, and his mother said that he HAD to show me his wrestling tape he had since I'd never seen anything like that - it was a match with Earthquake against I think a jobber. Quake was standing tall in front of the guy who he'd been pounding on, and started taunting him to hit him back, the jobber did give him a couple of shots back which got a decent pop until Quake clubbed him down again. The first event I watched was Tuesday in Texas, but I don't really remember much more than Jake vs. Savage. It's odd that I don't remember the Taker v. Hogan match since I still clearly remember the TV trailer for the event (which got me watching) - they showed scenes from the Hogan v. Taker Survivor Series match, fading in and out, with the Taker's bell chiming over the fade-out as Heenan said "Hulkamania is dead". It scared the hell out of me The first event I remember clearly was Royal Rumble 1992 - I recorded that one and watched it again and again and again, so little wonder I remember that so clearly. When I went to school the day after broadcast, I'd only been able to watch half the event so hadn't seen the Rumble match and didn't know the concept, so I got annoyed when we were DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME-ing at lunch time and it was just a load of kids piling into each other rather than wrestling one-on-one. The next day I had finished watching the event and was VERY excited by the Royal Rumble concept, and demanded we have another Royal Rumble at lunch time From there an obsession was born...

First thing I remember is WCW's (in)famous "It's not hot" scene with Hulk Hogan. It was so cool.
First WWF thing I remember is the very first Vince/Austin match. I remember being so confused when Dude Love came out.

That Vince McMahon promo where he talks about the new "creative direction" of the WWF back in December 1997.

I was playing He-Man while my dad was watching wrestling. I heard a bunch of comotion and looked up to see Terry Funk, Dory Funk, and Jimmy Hart beating up the Junkyard Dog. Then the whole locker room came running out. Haven't stopped watching since.

The first WWF thing I remember clearly seeing is a VHS of Royal Rumble 1994 (must have been the following year I saw it). I thought The Undertaker was the baddest motherf***er on the planet, how many guys did it take to get him in the casket? I was hooked. But then smoke started coming out, and it all got a bit scary for 4 year old me but Undertaker was my #1 guy from then (and still is)
First show on TV I can remember watching is the Raw when Owen Hart hit HBK with the ensiguri and HBK collapsed (but it may have been a clip on Superstars or Action Zone). I was traumatised, absolutely traumatised haha.
Also, I feel old now seeing how many people are posting things from '00-onwards

Well guess this makes me the old fart of the group but the first WWE memory I have is the Sgt. Slaughter/Pat Patterson boot camp match. I've been hooked ever since.
