When did you start watching WWE ?

[JTG]

As I'm concerned, after a long story with SmackDown 2 on PS1, I've decided to watch wrestling for real. My first time watching WWE was when it was WWF, the first saturday of 2002 at 8 a.m. in France with the Christmas edition of WWF Metal, I remember Bubba Ray Dudley wrestling as Santa Claus. And the very next week, WWF was cancelled from Canal+ . So my "real" start was in July of 2002, when RTL9 started to air a 45 minutes version of RAW, starting with the very last RAW of Stone Cold in 2002, when he won the main event against Ric Flair, that was bound to become his assistant.

So, as a 12-years old, aware that wrestling was staged, I basically began my wrestling experience with the Katie Vick episode that I eagerly want to see again on the Network. That was pure comedy gold.

I'll be 30 years old this year, have been watching religiously since 1993. About 23 years. Will never stop.

As long as I can remember. My grandpa was a huge fan. He got me into wrestling and took me to any show that came near us (or within a days drive in the case of 3 WrestleManias).

Edit: I'm 33, so... about that long.

January 2000. My cousins friend brought round a tape of Royal Rumble 2000 and I was hooked.

[MiLB Fan]

I started following wrestling in 1992, but didn't watch it on TV until the first episode of a little show called Monday Night Raw. (Well OK, I did watch Clash of the Champions 21 on TV but that was it.)

Prior to that, I didn't know what their shows were or when they were on, so I followed the product by reading WWE and WCW Magazine, as well as the Apter mags.

I first started watching when I was around 6-7. I didn't like, commit to watching it until 13-14.

My dad got me into it as a toddler, so my first experience with wrestling was the build to Mania 5 and the Hogan/Savage feud. I didn't get super into it, though, until the spring of 97 and the rise of Austin.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Early 1990. My first memory is seeing clips of Warrior and Hogan facing off in the Rumble and I was just captivated by it. Been a fan ever since

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I was born in the 80's in New York... so... I didn't have much choice but to become a Hulkamaniac

[Milkman Norm]

First time in late 1988 when I was six. Didn't become a full time fan till three years later. I was in the hospital in third grade and I watched Prime Time Wrestling. At that point I was hooked for life.

[Mister Pigwell]

Mid 80s from what I'm told by my mom but I don't think that's right as I don't have memories of watching until 89/90. So when I was 6 I'm pretty sure.

I will be 31 in April, I must have started watching right before or right after WM 7. I know The Nasty Boys were the tag champs and Perfect the IC Champ when I started watching, but I can't remember if Slaughter or Hogan was WWF Champion. The first thing I remember is a segment where Warrior was storming through the backstage searching for Macho King, he finds Sherri, and I think Savage pops out of nowhere and attacks him. I also remember watching a promo where Sherri was rubbing all over Warrior's chest and arms with Mean Gene. Definitely sometime in 91.

The Raw after 98 Royal Rumble.

Early 90s.

I'm not sure when exactly but I remember Warrior was my favorite and it was before Razor and Diesel left since I remember having a dream about Razor scaring me as a kid lol.

[edgestar]

Since I was probably 3-4 years old (1990-1991). My grandmother on my dad's side watched (she passed 6 months before I was born), and sometimes my dad and brother watched with her. My dad stopped watching regularly, and I would watch with my brother. I had surgery when I was 4, and my mom let me watch all the wrestling shows that were on that Saturday, because it was something that might make being in the hospital bearable. We watched again in the hospital last summer, when I was sick.

[Twincest]

I started watching WWE when WWF ceased to exist.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

I grew up a WCW kid. I was always aware of the WWF, but I didn't start seriously following them until about 1996.

[Mr T L Wolf]

I know I was quite young, because I remember fighting with my older brother because he was taken to a WWF show with my dad and got a Hulk Hogan bandana...soon after we were forbidden from watching it so we didn't do the moves on each other. Watched some of the Attitude Era stuff, and really became a weekly watcher around 99/2000

[devondragon]

I'm 36 and I watched occasionally in the mid 80s but didn't start watching wrestling regularly until the late 80s. I didn't have USA so I could only watch the occasional Saturday Night's Main Event. Watched a lot of WCW and finally got USA in 1992 and watched WWF regularly at that time. Until then, I kept up through others giving me the results.

But, my real start came with Hulk Hogan's Rock N' Wrestling.
