Another one for me

Earthquake crushing Hulk Hogan. I cried myself to sleep because I thought he had killed the Hulkster.

The Ultimate Challenge...Wrestlemania 6...Warrior vs. Hogan.

First match I ever watched, and it was live.

Match always holds a special place in my heart.

My first memory was watching Royal Rumble 2001 with my mum the next day on a recorded VHS Tape (recorded because in the UK the shows are live at 1AM in the morning)

I watched a Raw in 2002 and booger red Undertaker scared the crap out of me after he tipped vomit all over Tommy Dreamer.
I stopped watching for three years afterwards.
I got hooked again after I watched a recorded VHS of the Invasion PPV and watched the 2005 New Year's revolution on PPV.
My fear for the Undertaker as since disappeared.

Mine may be a cliche but it was Austin's KOTR speech.

From then I was hooked

This is weird, but I swear it was Sting scaring Yokozuna out of the ring, 1994ish. Obviously it's a false memory. It was Undertaker scaring Yokozuna. But in my memory, it was Crow Sting, who wouldn't even debut for a few more years. My little brother remembers the same thing. Lol.

My first memory of Wrestling was watching old recordings of AWA and NWA that my dad had recorded.

My very first memory of wrestling? Stone Cold chasing Vince McMahon with the quad-bike. Weird, I know, but that was my first experience with it, and 8 year old me was like, "Woah, what's this all about?".

I guess the rest is history :lmao

The most specific I remember was Starcade 88. The main event between Luger and Flair always stood out for me.

I have many memories, but, one of the first is George the Animal Steele and his crush on Miss Elizabeth.

Don’t blame him tbh
Who could? She was the first lady after all.

I have a couple - I remember sitting on the floor at my grandparents while my grandad shouted at the tv watching World of Sport, but thats a bit of a blur.

My oldest vivid memory is the Macho King smashing his sceptre on Warriors head at the '91 Rumble. I watched this on vhs at my Uncles flat somewhere between the '91 Rumble and Wrestlemania 7.

Subscription tv was new in the UK back then and we never had the channel that carried WWF until around Mania 14(ish). My actual wrestling viewing back then was WCW Worldwide in the week and we got a neighbour to record the WWF ppvs and watched them back a few days after the fact.
