Backlash 2001.
Would have been WM X-Seven but I was out of town that weekend.
Might have been for the better because although it was an all-time great show, the ending would have crushed me as a Rock mark.

Wrestlemania 8 if we’re talking about VHS tapes.
Actually watching live while it’s happening it would have been Royal Rumble 2001.

It must've been WrestleMania XX. 🤔 I remember WrestleMania 21 the best though, as that was when I started following the PPV's without delay.

My brother used to tape the PPV’s back when they were on Sky TV around 99 so I’m sure one of those was my first watch. Royal Rumble 2000 stands out in my memory because it was on Channel 4 so had random advert breaks during matches.
Insurrextion 2000 was the first PPV I watched live (thanks to it being aired at a suitable time for a kid in the UK).
Survivor Series 1999 was the first VHS I bought.

Had a VHS of Wrestlemania 2 that I bought at a car boot sale, but could never get into it as it was so jarring from the rest of the content I was half watching on Channel 4 (Sunday night Heat). Then my friend and I went halves on No Mercy '99 on VHS, which is subsequently hugely nostalgic to watch back occasionally. Then I really got into it when C4 started showing live PPV's from like 2000 onwards.

Watched WM 3 day off. Someone taped it and then brought a copy over. But I do remember my dad getting this crazy cable box that allowed us to watch all the PPVs live. He got that a few months after that. I remember watching survivor series for thanksgiving. Now I don’t believe we paid for it, like I said crazy cable box

On tape, WM 4.
As it happened (TV not in person), Tuesday in Texas I think...It MAY have been WM 7, but I honestly don't remember if that was live or on tape. But I know Tuesday in Texas was as it happened.

Preface, I was watching wrestling years earlier than this, but the first time I actually got to see a PPV was Wrestlemania 23.
The Money in the Bank and Undertaker vs Batista I remember really loving. Was rooting for HBK in the main event even tho I was a Cena fan.
To this day, it's the one show that just gives me so much nostalgia, and I think it's very underrated.
This was around the time I was getting back into wrestling after dipping out in 2003.

When I was a kid one of my parents friends had a vhs tape of WM2 he brought over, bootleg probably. If that don't count a year later Canarsie Highschool had WMIII on a large projection screen in the auditorium. Still remember it like yesterday.

I got into wrestling around the first of 1990, but the first tape I rented was WM4 (Bam Bam Bigelow was on it, and I fell in love with him due to the Wrestlemania NES game). First one watched live was WM6.

I’m sure I probably watched one before this but the first PPV I remember watching was Vengeance 2002. I remember being so happy when The Rock won the title.
