Yours?

[chrisat928]

Attending Wrestlemania 3.

[FourFifty]

I can't recall the event, but someone was flipping through the stations and looking back it was The Bushwhackers vs Rythm & Blues. After that there's a loooong gap in my memory that picks up when I was renting an old wrestling VHS every weekend.

[True Brit Grit]

Undertaker's entrance at RR'94 and Yoko's reaction... Also Razor/HBK at Mania 10. I used to love Doink in those days.

[IC Champion]

Shawn Michaels putting Marty Jennetty's face through the barbar shop window, or whatever.

[Xero]

Earliest I can remember is a promo with Sting and the nWo, before Sting went Crow.

My most vivid early memory is my first house show.

[Cactus Sid]

Summerslam 92, Bulldog beating Bret for the IC title.

I was 6 years old, but even then you could tell it was a hell of a match

[Erebus]

Wrestlemania 4 for me.

[IC Champion]

Earliest I can remember is a promo with Sting and the nWo, before Sting went Crow.

My most vivid early memory is my first house show.
Young'ns these days.

[Mr. JL]

Bret Hart vs. 1-2-3 Kid

[Mr. Pierre]

Since Summerslam '96 was my first ever show that I watched, I remember the pre-show match between Austin and Yokozuna. I couldn't even tell you who won though. The only memory I have of it was the middle rope snapping..or has my memory been twisted? But yea, Austin vs. Yoko is my first memory.

[True Brit Grit]

Nope you're right. Yoko (then @ 660lbs) went for a Banzai and pulled the top rope clean off, fell onto his ass and Austin covered and got the pin.

[Rob]

Watching British wrestling with my gran and grandad. Gran died in 1985 so it was before I was 5.

[Jordan]

I slept over at my aunts house when I was a kid, and the best thing I remember was we would rent WWF tapes from the video store. The first I saw was Royal Rumble 91', she was a mark for The Undertaker, so I became one as well, along with my older brother. Also we marked out for the Ultimate Warrior.

I really started watching in '93 during an episode of Superstars. Yokozuna v.s some jobber I remembered it was awesome, plus Shawn Michaels wrestled and I thought he was awesome! Hahaha and then I remember WCW was on right after, World Wide maybe and I saw Eddie Guerrero and the poor produciton quality and I was thinknig "What happend to the good one".

Shame of me for Eddie, I know.

[Loose Cannon]

I don't really know. I always read these baby books that my parents kept saying I was really into wrestling and what not around age 4, which was about 1987. But I can't really remmeber much until likr 1989 from watching Sat morning shows

[Anybody Thrilla]

I seem to remember a Ted Dibease match from around the time Zeus was feuding with Hogan.

[diothoir]

My earliest wrestling memory was Ahmed Johnson getting beat up by the Nation.

My parents have told me I was a fan of wrestling from about 5 years old though.

[311]

This threat makes me feel old and I'm only twenty three.

Then again, I started watching wrestling when I was three.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This threat makes me feel old and I'm only twenty three.

Then again, I started watching wrestling when I was three.

Seriously. But maybe some people didn't get into wrestling as early as we did?

[311]

Maybe. I just find it nuts that people's earliest memories are toward the beginning of Attitude.

I remember Hillbilly Jim, Big John Stud, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Ric Flair, ect when I think of my earliest memories. But I think you might be right. I started way earlier than most. :y:

[DRBailey]

Saturday morning on Sky One Feb 93, Razor vs Doink recap from RAW on Wrestling Challenge, ended with em fighting through the crowd if I recall.

[El Fangel]

Watching The Cuban Assassin versus Someone at a house show, I was like 4 and on my dad's knee.

[sulzerdrone]

cuban assassin was an awesome heel, I remember watching him on stampede wrestling saturday mornings and hating him. Him and karachi vice.

[NeanderCarl]

My first wrestling memory is of Ric Flair winning a match at Survivor Series 1991 when everybody else in the match was simulataneously disqualified. They replayed it on one of the weekend shows, and that's the first wrestling I ever saw on TV.

[NeanderCarl]

Saturday morning on Sky One Feb 93, Razor vs Doink recap from RAW on Wrestling Challenge, ended with em fighting through the crowd if I recall.

That can't be right. Both were heels. Sure it wasn't Razor vs Kid? I remember they fought to the back, as Kid stole Razor's bag full of money and did a runner out of the Manhattan Centre.

[Zeeboe]

1988...NBC's WWF Saturday Night's Main Event Wrestling...Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant for the title.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

Haha, earliest memory...

Nailz coming down out of the audience and beating the Big Bossman severely.

[FourFifty]

Shawn Michaels putting Marty Jennetty's face through the barbar shop window, or whatever.

:D That STILL brings back memories..... Which reminds me, I need to call my brother and rub it in his face again.

[FourFifty]

Haha, earliest memory...

Nailz coming down out of the audience and beating the Big Bossman severely.

Nailz, huh?
This means I've been a wrestling fan longer than the great "Cooler" Tom Schuler.

[FourFifty]

...That means in these parts, I'm cooler than him.

[The Optimist]

Bigelow starting a fight on Raw before Nash and Goldberg's Starrcade match. Yeah I'm a pugnacious youth. That was only . . . what nine years or so ago. . .

[Nervous Ferret]

wen holk hogen boddyslamered andy giant!

[Esoteric]

My first one was the Sting and Black Scorpion storyline and how he would interupt Stings matches and one time it lead to him throwing someone over the top rope and I think it was Jim Ross acted as if Sting killed someone and people were booing and shit.

[NeanderCarl]

Ha... I wish his name had been Andy Giant.

[Rammsteinmad]

1-2-3 Kick beating Razor Ramon.

[Impact!]

Stone Cold being run over for some reason

[Vastardikai]

First images: Hulk Hogan losing to Andre the Giant on a SNME (with the twin ref gimmick). Road Warriors taking a spike to Dusty's eye. Lex Luger as a member of the 4 Horsemen.

First Show I attended: McCallister Field House '90 or '91. Double Main Event featuring Sting and the Steiners vs. Windham, Arn Anderson, and Sid, as well as Ric Flair vs. El Gigante (Flair chopped him so hard he legit drew blood on his chest.) Also had a killer match with Dustin Rhodes vs. Bobby Eaton (who worked heel, despite supposing to be face on TV)

[JT]

I'm unclear on my memory as I remember it involving the premiere of Mankind and Hulk Hogan...which were 2 very different times.

I guess the clearest memory I had was Shawn Michaels vs. Goldust on Raw in 1996 for the World Championship. I didn't watch wrestling fully till 1998, right after Starcade '97.
