I first started watching the RAW after the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Feb. 1999. I was in 8th grade. I started to watch because wrestling had become the "cool" thing in school, and because my little brother, who never watched wrestling either, rented WWF Warzone one day. And so I decided to check out the stuff for real.

Oh man. I remember, for some strange reason, my favorite wrestler was Big Bossman. I just thought he looked cool and didn't really care about quality wrestling at the time. Just mainly for the storylines. I LOVED The Corporation. And I LOVED the "Higher Power" storyline, even if the ending of it was a letdown. That angle has a special place in my heart. Aww.

Since then, by the time I graduated highschool, wrestling wasn't cool by the end of 2000. I still continued to watch it though even if my younger brother and friends quit. I didn't care what anyone thought about it. Now, close to the end of my freshmen year in college, no one I know watches it except for my girlfriend, and that took some time to get her into it. But she's gone to both a RAW and Smackdown with out me, cuz I've been at school, so I think I did a good job.

I love it. And don't see myself stopping watching it for any reason unless I just don't have the time. Over the past 5 years I've learned to appareciate more quality wrestling etc. Done my best to learn about older wrestlers and whatnot. Love it.
