I'm still trying to place it for myself.

I have a bucket load of the Hasbro action figures (I remember being pretty PO'd when they stopped selling tag teams as teams) and the blue WWF ring. I quite vividly remember watching WCW Worldwide every Saturday at 3pm on ITV whilst at my grandparents house along with my cousin. We were both WWF fans but they had no shows on free TV. I remember "Surfer" Sting, Vader, Johnny B. Badd and The Hollywood Blondes.

The SilverVision VHS' I have are WM6 & 8, the Rumble, SummerSlam & Survivor Series from 92, SummerSlam 93, etc. Mania 6 was in 1990 so that puts me at 6 years old which seems about right.

I watched up to around WrestleMania 11 in 95 at which point I stopped. I got back into it just ahead of SummerSlam 98 when I caught some of Raw when I was at a friends' house. He lent me King of the Ring and Over The Edge from 98 and then I watched SummerSlam live at 1am.

I've been watching to varying degrees since then.
