Lotta WCW while the nWo was running the place, then we moved and I just never picked it up there for whatever reason. We moved back to where my parents are now in 2002, and my dad started watching WWF/WWE again while he was living with his mom there before the rest of us could move down there. So he got me watching WWE full-time in 2002, a Smackdown with some decent stuff and Kurt Angle beating some dork who wouldn't shut up about ruthless aggression or something. Pretty sure that guy never amounted to anything.

Wrestlemania 3. Was in 4th grade at the time (that would have been 1987), and my best friend had it on tape. The whole card fascinated me, though the Steamboat/Savage match was the best.
I also remember being legitimately bummed that I had just witnessed Piper's last match (as in the "this guy is awesome and he was the bad guy in the Hulk Hogan cartoon, why is he retiring right as I start watching" sort of way), since I actually believed a retirement match meant something.

Sometime in the summer of 1994. Was an episode of Superstars. First match I saw was an I.R.S. squash match.
Somehow I stayed hooked.

1985 thereabouts when I was 2. I remember getting the first two Survivor Series on ppv at my aunts. 1987/1988

My mom loved wrestling for all of her life, so I grew up with it. My earliest vivid memory was the ridiculous Undertaker segment at Royal Rumble 1994 (right after I turned four). However, I would always rent one of three shows from my local video stare. SummerSlam 1991 (even as a kid I loved Hart/Perfect), Royal Rumble 1992 (just a fun show) or Survivor Series 1992 (for Bret/HBK, Perfect dumping water on Heenan and Vince acting like Virgil was a legit threat to Yokozuna). I rented them so much that the owner actually just made me a copy of RR 92.
Anyway, I've gone back and watched 1993 Raws on the Network and found myself remembering more stuff so I guess my real earliest memory is from 1993.

My late best friend got me into it in 98'. Primetime Attitude Era. Rock, Austin, HBK were the main dudes that reeled me in.

I've been watching since I was about 3 or 4 years old. However it wasn't until 2002 that I remember watching what was on.

The first thing I remember clearly is the buildup to Wrestemania 7 (Savage/Warrior in particular), but I'm certain I was watching earlier than then.

I've been watching since I was 12, so 1999. The first match I really remember was Mankind vs the Rock at Halftime Heat.

Fall 1998, probably around September-ish. Remember the first Raw I watched had a Mankind / Shamrock match.
Though I'd watched some WCW around 1995ish.

WrestleMania 5.
Was already a wrestling fan, but this was the first WWF show I ever saw.

Wrestling is one my earliest memories because my dad was a fan. I was born in 1986, so my earliest memories of wrestling are from the late 80s.

I started watching Smackdown, and following Raw through The Bottom Line, consistently in 2004 around the time the APA broke up and Bradshaw returned as JBL.
