I've watched wrestling on and off since I was about 5 (1992). I used to mark out heavily for Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Warrior, Undertaker, and the Road Warriors. I watched WWF whenever I had the chance, but I wasn't a huge fan til around 1997 when I started watching WCW AND WWF. I watched WCW to see Sting and WWF to see the Hart Foundation. Then 1998 rolled around and the Attitude Era began, and I started watching WWF vigorously to see Austin, DX, The Rock, Taker, Kane, etc. I kept watching WCW til like 2000 when I gave up on it, but I haven't stopped watching WWE since I was a kid.
Sometimes I think about when I was still a mark and how excited and shocked I would get when something happened. Like at Uncensored 97 when Sting came down from the rafters and took out the whole NWO, I marked the fuck out for that. Or when Mankind beat The Rock on RAW for the WWF title. Those are the times I feel like I could've become a wrestling fan in an instant. The only time I think I'd ever feel that today is when Batista put HHH through the table. I marked out like a little kid for that.
