How long have you been watching wrestling?
 
I think we have enough new blood to do this one again. At least, I assume it's been done already.

13 years for me.

Juan 07-02-2009 01:04 PM

It'll be 20 years in November (2010)

Juan 07-02-2009 01:04 PM

So i guess that would make it 19, for now.

Loose Cannon 07-02-2009 01:05 PM

since I was four. so 1987

Volare 07-02-2009 01:08 PM

I still remember my dad and his buddies at my house watching WM 4. That was my first time watching it.

Been following wrestling since (if I rememer correctly) around summer of 1991. Before that I used to watch old tapes (Summerslam 1990 was the first PPV show I ever watched) and bought my first tape (British Bulldogs) around that time.

Xero 07-02-2009 01:17 PM

I don't remember the first show I watched (pretty sure it was a Nitro though) but my first obsession was with the Hogan/Piper feud. Loved me some Piper back then, even though I was a Hulkamaniac for a while (from watching old tapes).

AJHayes 07-02-2009 01:17 PM

25+ years, from my dads knee when I was an infant/toddler and on. the longest time I've went without was when I was deployed to Iraq.

I heart wrestling.

DaveBrawl 07-02-2009 01:22 PM

Since the early 90s.

Xerzes 07-02-2009 01:29 PM

Somewhere in summer of 94.

thecc 07-02-2009 01:32 PM

started watching in the beginning of 96, so a little over 13 years.

Dorkchop 07-02-2009 01:34 PM

Sometime in 80s, but that's as specific as I can be.

Dorkchop 07-02-2009 01:38 PM

I can only remember two time periods where I got really into wrestling.

I remember when I was in grade 1 I used to go to the video store down the road and rent WWF tapes. I watched quite a few WWF and WCW PPVs over the years. I remember being pissed when someone taped over WCW Fall Brawl with shitty soft core porn (don't remember which year). There was a year or two where I didn't watch wrestling as much, but I got hardcore back into wrestling in mid 97 when things started to get interesting again.

Lock Jaw 07-02-2009 02:00 PM

Been familiar with it all my life, didn't really start watching closely until that one Summerslam where Paul Bearer turned on The Undertaker. So, I suppose 13 years for me as well.

Hanso Amore 07-02-2009 02:00 PM

1987

TheHaunted 07-02-2009 02:13 PM

1999- So Ten Years this year.

Evil Vito 07-02-2009 02:16 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Since 1998, so 11 years.</font>

Nicky Fives 07-02-2009 02:28 PM

A little less than 12 years.... since late 1997

thedamndest 07-02-2009 02:35 PM

1990/91.

Impeccable 07-02-2009 02:40 PM

Started watching some time before Wrestlemania 7

Chavo Classic 07-02-2009 02:52 PM

On and off since 1993 to 1997, then pretty solid since 1998. Started really embracing the wrestling world outside the WWE since 2002 which was rather unfortunately after the fall of ECW.

RGWhat316 07-02-2009 03:22 PM

Been about 11 years. First time watching wrestling was the Austin/Mike Tyson segment on RAW 1998. I even remember asking "who is this guy trying to pick a fight with Mike Tyson?"

CSL 07-02-2009 03:24 PM

Since I was like 5 so about 19 years

DAMN iNATOR 07-02-2009 03:55 PM

Almost 10 years exactly...actually it'll be 10 years in a few days from now...time sure as hell does fly.

Mr. C 07-02-2009 04:00 PM

I’ve watched WWE since 1996 when I was 7. The first match I saw was with Goldust, Psycho Sid, Savio Vega, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Rammsteinmad 07-02-2009 04:08 PM

Since '93, so 16 years.

My first memory was the 1-2-3 Kid/Razor Ramon match. My dad said "he's fighting the kid" and at that moment they were filming a kid in the audience. Being only 4/5 at the time I thought he meant Razor Ramon was fighting a little kiddie lol.

Team Sheep 07-02-2009 04:09 PM

It will be 10 years this December. Started watching around Armageddon 1999.

IC Champion 07-02-2009 04:16 PM

Since I was 3 or 4. Haven't watched consistantly though.

thedamndest 07-02-2009 04:26 PM

My first live wrestling event was actually Wrestlemania VI in Toronto, Ontario. I'll never forget the atmosphere in the arena when Warrior beat Hogan for the title; everyone was on their feet. To this day it's probably one of the best memories of my life.

TSI 07-02-2009 04:37 PM

early 90's for me. i remember taking my moms make up to paint my face like sting doing bodyslams to my teddy bear..lol...god its been a while

Heyman 07-02-2009 04:38 PM

I watched WWE wrestling RELIGIOUSLY from January 1998 to Spring 2005.

Before and after that time period however - I've only tuned in at certain times (and so my "guesstimate" of how long I've watched wrestling, would be the equivalent of about 11 years).

KutGotti 07-02-2009 04:57 PM

23 yrs. i saw my 1st live event at 7.

Cactus Sid 07-02-2009 05:01 PM

On and off since 92, I remember watching Summerslam 92 and used to watch it whenever I was at a mates place who had Sky (I remember seeing the early days of Adam Bomb and Issac Yankem for example) I started watching regularly again around Wrestlemania XII, used to watch an hour of Nitro before Raw and saw pretty much every PPV between Bad Blood and Wrestlemania 19, interest kind of died away after that and now I probably watch Raw once every couple of weeks, never see Smackdown or ECW and only watch free PPV's, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania.

James Steele 07-02-2009 05:03 PM

As long as I can remember.

Rollerskategirl 07-02-2009 05:34 PM

I used to watch with my dad in the late 80's, saw bits buring mid to late 90's, but didn't really start watching constantly until I met Dan in 2000

FourFifty 07-02-2009 05:39 PM

About 20 years. I got watched it here and there for a little while, before I got caught up in the media storm that was called Hulkamania.

Testicle 07-02-2009 06:06 PM

10 years in August, damn its been a long time. The first match I saw actually was a bar room brawl between the APA and the Dudley's on smackdown, pretty awesome.
