When did you start watching wrestling?

I was inspired by one of Noid's comments over in the Better Wrestler thread to ask this question. So like the title says when were you first exposed to wrestling? Feel free to just give the era/year/etc, or go all out and tell us why you were drawn to it. Maybe throw in a story about your earliest memory with wrestling while you're at it.

I'll start. My first introduction to wrestling was through my father who would occasionally throw it on when I was much younger. It wasn't until I was 7 or so that I started watching regularly myself though. I started off with a lot of my dad's old tapes with stuff mostly from the 80s and a little that I think might have predated that. Pretty quickly I started watching current WWF stuff with my dad. This being roughly around 1997. We'd sometimes watch WCW too, but not nearly as often, and honestly I never got into it all that much for some reason. I'd also watch ECW stuff with a friend of mine who was huge into it and would scoop up anything he could find.
