I started watching the WWF around late 1990/early 1991 (too early for me to remember exactly) at the tender age of 2. Raw was not available here in Canada when it hit the airwaves in January 1993, so Superstars gave me my main WWF fix for a while. It became available here in 1994, but I did not actual become aware of that fact until about May 1996. So, despite being a fan during that period, my only taste of pre-1996 Raw came from recaps and whatnot shown on Superstars. The first Raw I ever got to watch featured Owen Hart and Undertaker in the main event, and aside from my sabbatical away from wrestling for most of 2005, I've watched it religiously ever since.

I was a HUGE fan of Prime Time Wrestling so I was a little skeptical of this new RAW thing, and I gotta admit the first couple of eps were a little something to be desired, but then as the year progressed the storylines began to pick up, honestly late 93/early 94(Yoko/Lex,Bret/Owen,HBK/Razor,Steiners/Quebeckers,Doink/Bam Bam, the emergance of the Kid) is the most underrated period ever and 2nd best over all behind late 97/98. And once Nitro came on both bought out the best in each other, even tho i always looked at Raw as 'my show." I really cant wait till tonight because I want all these memories to come back, but I am also excited for the next 15 years

I started officially watchin back in November of 2003.Altough somtimes when my Uncle would watch I would too. But it was an episode of Smackdown that I just happened across that really got me hooked. So I don't really know how long I have been a fan. But I will say officialy four years.
Edit:Actually it was Smackdown, and the game Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain that got me hooked.

lol well... i feel young here i've only been watching for a couple years... i was on and off with my friends but then i saw Michaels/Shelton in the gold rush... that match got me hooked so it will pretty much always be considered my favourite match... since then i've been quite enthralled by it... even if i missed the boom periods so to speak... i've watched probably about 1/4th of the attitude era from Youtube and such tho

I fourth the idea of felling old! I was 15 when the first RAW aired! I started watching in 84-85. It was Hulkamania that drew me in.

My first very vivid RAW Memory was the JR interviews with Mankind, "They threw worms at me, and I ate them!" Same here. I used to know that interview word for word. Foley was my hero. Before that, I watched as a youngster, but I really just don't remember any of it until I started watching around the time of Mankind.

lol I'll just throw in I'll fifth the feeling old. I started in 1984 when Roddy beat the stuffing out of Frankie Williams. It was the FIRST thing I ever saw with pro wrestling and I was hooked from there on.

I remember flipping thru TV channels one day in 1985 and seeing The Road Warriors versus the Freebirds in AWA. As Hawk pummeled Bam Bam Gordy I yelled to my brother "Quick, Frankie bring me a blank tape!" The rest, as they say, is history. P.S. What's not to love about Charlize Theron?
