[Lobo]

The Hardy Boyz in 1995.

 

[Tommy Fits]

Hogan getting a fireball in his face after WM7

 

[Tryna Makit]

Austin vs Bret at Wrestlemania.

Never cared about wrestling before that match

I was at a family bbq and it was on the tv in the living room

Once i saw Austin bloodied in that Sharpshooter nothing was ever the same lol

 

[avon barksdale]

Seeing a black man with a bird early Saturday morning

My bytch ass brother told me wrestling was fake as a kid

Lmao

And me telling my Brother(and Sister) "I know" and continued to watch

To add on:Bastion Booger and The Lex Express,I got into a WWE Post Hogan,I knew about him but didnt see his "Prime" until WCW 95

 

[Qman11687]

Trying to stay up so I could watch WCW Worldwide Saturday night at 10pm (didn’t have cable then)
Spending the night over my cousins house watching WWF Mania Sat morning (they had cable)

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

i don't know if it was on tape or Saturday morning Superstars or what but i think it was Million Dollar Man doing one of those 'challenges' where he'd get somebody from the audience to do shyt for cash

 

[KingBeez]

Being at my daycare in 2002, and watching Wrestlemania X on the TV after the daycare lady’s kids checked it out at the local library.

After I saw that ladder match, it was a wrap

I also liked jerry springer as a child ( ) so vince russo’s “trash tv” style was right up my alley once I stumbled upon old attitude era Monday Night Raw episodes that the kids taped.

Once I found Raw and smackdown on the TV, I never looked back. Been watching to this day, despite my extreme dislike for the current product. It’s basically background noise now

Spoiler

Have Stockholm syndrome brehs

Also shout out WWE Classics on Demand and Justin.tv for the streams real ones know that was the WWE network before the WWE network, I used to spend so much time watching old shows when it debuted

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Hogan vs Warrior WM 6

I remember crying when they screwed Warrior out the title at Royal Rumble

First WCW moment was Ron Simmons winning the title.

Obviously being a Sting mark

 

[Tres Leches]

 

[Metal Face]

Trish/Lita bra and panties match in 2000
deadass

my uncle was flippin thru the channels then started watchin that shyt when I was in the living room

 

[Peter Parker]

nWo was beating someone up(I feel like it was The Giant) and they hit him with a chair and he no sold it

I thought that was the coolest shyt ever

 

[Tj Bronson]

Wrestlemania 4, specifically Hogan hitting DiBiase with the chair to give the belt to Savage. I know my parents were watching way before that, but that's the first thing I can remember watching and actually caring what happened. I also remember my dad watching GLOW here and there

"I THINK HE SWALLOWED HIS TONGUE"
Gorilla Monsoon used to always say "This is a HAPPENING"

I'll still say this from time to time when I play some of these wwe 2k games with my brothers

 

[MenacingMonk]

Shotgun Saturday Night in late 97, right after Montreal. Vince cutting the “Bret screwed Bret” promo and Highlights of Foley/Trips FCA match at MSG.

 

[General Mills]

I remember me and my brother where vaguely aware of wrestling but nothing really stuck until we saw The Killer Bees.

Jumping Jim Brunzell and B. Brian Blair


I dont know if it was the Steelers colors or the way the announcers would get hype when they came out. . But me and my brother was We got really deep into tag teams after that. Then wrestling in general. At that point Pro Wrestling dominated our childhood.
