I still have this sticker album somewhere... living each day in the hope that I'll complete it before I die.
My recollection of when (and why) I started watching is a little hazy. I too collected these stickers (the 1994 album apparently, which may have been released in '93) but I don't know if I was a fan before or because of this album.

Both me and my cousin were in to wrestling but again I don't know who was first. I've a feeling it might be some time in 1992, with the rise of popularity in the U.K. due to SummerSlam 92 at Wembley. I had/have WrestleMania 8 on VHS but I don't think I was watching at the time of the event, I do remember having a neighbour record Royal Rumble 93 so I was definetly watching by early 1993.

I stopped watching shortly after Mania 11 in 1995, then got back into it in 1998 when a friend was watching Raw and I ended up watching SummerSlam live at his house. I've "watched" pretty religiously since then, probably a period when at uni were I couldn't catch the shows but still followed results.
