I started watching it about 17 years ago too. Although i was like just about to turn three. One of my earliest memories is seeing Jericho's debut at my uncle's house

 

I had so fucking many wrestling figures. The plastic movable ones in the 90's but a ton of the like, 10 inch tall rubber ones like big boss man and big john studd from the 80's. Had an ultimate warrior wrestling buddy, too.

 

The first PPV that really remember latching onto was Survivor Series and then This Tuesday in Texas in 1991 when I was around 5. They aired like five days apart and from then on, my parents were super good about ordering each PPV for me. I was going to go to a PPV at the Silverdome, but my brother got an MIP and couldn't take me (he bought us the tickets and my parents punished him by making him tell me we couldn't go) and I was crushed.

So, probably like 25 years ago I started watching, but fell away from it around when WCW imploded under Russo and came back because I saw the Miz on TV with the WWE Title and I was like "is that the doofus from Real World New York?!"

 

Who the hell cares what's on the preshow

 

Listen here young man you don't get to say "when I was a kid" yet ok now get off my lawn

 

Im sorry, how about "when i was like 6 or 7 years old"?

 

The ending to Yano/Elgin. omg lol.

 

@Drew Beringer that's like four posts up

 

I LOVED wrestling when I was a kid and then lost interest/stopped watching when I was in high school, around 04/05 I think. Started watching again in 2014 when the network started. WrestleMania 30 was the first thing I watched. So there's a whole decade that I missed and I have not watched anything from it. So because of that, I missed the likes of CM Punk and Cena and just don't care for those guys. It was interesting coming back and seeing people like the Miz and Sheamus and not being impressed with them at all and was confused as to how they were "top guys" at one point. But those two in particular have come such a long way just since I've started watching again. Miz needs to be a top heel. Dude is in his prime right now.

 

I don't have time to read the whole thread

 

The wonderful Yano/Elgin finish.

 

Bought 6th row tickets to the Chicago ROH show that Omega will be at. Really excited for it.

 

Take a picture of that meet and greet line. lol

 

Haha it's going to be insane. I'll probably be getting there fairly early so I hopefully won't have to deal with too bad of a line. I'm sure the Bucks will be doing one too so maybe that'll split it up a little

 

Ha, I get it

 

Please go back and watch some CM Punk stuff. His entire 400+ day title run is amazing

 

Of course. I can honestly say wrestling figures is what got me into wrestling. Huge part that is.

I remember writing to Santa that I wanted A "Mountie" figure.

 

Playing with wrestling figures was like 90% of my childhood.

 

I had so many of those figures. Chris Jericho was always champ in my pretend federation. I used to get way too into it with the fake stories and stuff haha
