I literally started watching wrestling around WM 21 but I was really young at the time so I couldn't stay up late to watch it, nor did I know how to watch it to begin with, nor would I have been able to even if I knew how because we didn't have cable. The same thing happened with 22 and 23, until finally 24 I found out you can stream WWE PPV's online for free so I watched a little bit of the beginning before I went to bed. 25 was my first full one, I cut off 26 before it ended because bedtime, 27 I saw in full same with 28 and 29, and then 30 I finally got that Network subscription to see Mania in crisp quality

Wrestlemania X7. Was also the first PPV I watched. My mom hated wrestling and hated that I watched it. But after I hit her with the 3 grade school moves of doom - straight A's, all chores done for two weeks, and my birthday just passed - she pretty much had to give in.

Watched it with my aunt and female cousin. Auntie even hooked us up with pizza and wings. :blessed: It was all good....until Rock lost the main event. My young mark heart couldn't take it, especially with my aunt and cousin marking out for Austin right next to me. :mjcry:

Wrestle Mania IX was the first one I ever saw. The pageantry and set was dope as hell but some of the booking and matches though.....:francis:


The First Wrestle Mania I attended was 23 and surprisingly after checking out it still holds up to be a decent show.

Wrestlemania X....Bret/Owen & Razor/Shawn along with Bret winning the Belt made me the Rasslin Fan I am today
Same here. That royal rumble where Bret and Luger won and the casket match was also my first royal rumble. I had that event recorded on a vhs tape when those were around. That's what we used before dvd players, for the younger readers.

WM14 on stolen cable ppv :jawalrus:I was like 9.

That Taker vs. Kane was lit as fuuuuuck.

First one we payed for was 2000(16):huhldup:
I don't think I ever purchased a single ppv. First we started with the illegal cable box. Then my dad got the hook up on the satellite dishes and fixing the cards that went on the box. Then when I took a break and would watch sporadically with my friend from high school during the ruthless aggression era, that cena, Orton, Batista, lashley era, we would hit up a bar that would host the event. Then when I got back into it around the end of summer of punk, I would get the streams from first row sports or wherever any of the coli or sohh brehs would provide. Then I got the network and I've been using that ever since. Or rather my friends since I go to his house for every ppv Sunday that I'm off.

I remember listening to Wrestlemania IX scrambled, would have been almost 5 at the time :flabbynsick:. Wrestlemania X was the first one I had my dad order that I can remember, by XI he had gotten us a black box so from then up until XIX I saw them all for free :myman:.... It stopped working shortly after XIX and I stopped watching wrestling all together. I caught a couple of the Mania main events here and there but never live. Came back to wrestling after the pipe bomb and the next Mania I watched live was the one with Triple H and Taker in the Cell.

Ill say the Royal Rumble 94 was my first attempt to watching a PPV thru the ol scrambled Channel method(Ill never forget seeing Taker go to Heaven coming out clearly),before then I was warming up to the WWF during the Lex Express in 93 and watched Summer Slam that year,I didnt know about RAW yet and I was mainly on Saturday Morning Superstars but after the Rumble then watching the build for Bret/Owen and Razor/Shawn & Diesel leading up to WMX and seeing it all come out that day,locked me in for life....Shiet I even copped a Subscription to WWF Magazine that year(94)and I was 11 at the time:russ:

Same here. I remember that bodyslam challenge during the summer. Must've watched summer slam also. Don't remember if I was watching Raw back then but know I definitely was watching by the middle of 94. I do remember watching the Saturday morning shows. Don't remember survivor series 93 but I remember the king had feuds with Bret and doink the clown.

Breh, I with you takers is one of the few wrestlers that gave me chills.

Another thing the pyro was so loud, I was siting by the stage and was deaf for about a hour after the show.

Got the WrestleMania All Day Long package, where they went back and went over every past Mania before the show... noon to midnight, nothing but wrestling. Me & my girl at the time were like :blessed: even though we both were :gucci: when HHH went over Rock in the main event.
