1. Hogan getting hit in the face with the fireball after WM7. Though I think I started watching before that, thats the first moment I can remember watching without having to watch a video to spark that memory. And I don't think I saw WM7 I think I saw the fireball incident on the Saturday morning show.

2. Hogan & Bret Hart

3. The Rockers

4. I guess Hogan coming out at WM9 and beating Yokozuna, looking back it was a horrible finish to arguably the worst WM of all time. As a mark, probably Jericho's WWF debut.

5. Owen's death, the only time too. His death hit me hard for some reason.

6. SummerSlam 91

7. Maybe Flair...to a 7 year old he looked like an old man and he was from WCW. If not Flair probably one of those over the top cartoon heels of the early 90's.

8. Sunny

9. When Janetty jumped through the Barbershop window to get away from HBGoat. Just couldn't believe a man would stoop to such cowardice...actually I was a Lil Rockers mark and I was crushed. I don't know if I would say thats a too far moment but I guess as a 7 year old it was.

10. Hogan vs Macho Man WM5, Bret vs Perfect at SummerSlam 91, and when I was a kid I had the WM 5 on VHS and I remember I really used to like the Blue Blazer vs Mr.Perfect, thought that was a really good match as a little kid. I guess those were my first favorites.

From a family of old school rasslin' fans so I got to see a lot of stuff a lil kid pro'ally shouldn't have been watching especially considering my family was more into NWA/World Class than WWF

1. First Wrestling Memory: Horsemen goonery, stalking then taking the baseball bats to Dusty
2. First Favorite Wrestler: Hulk Hogan
3. First Favorite Tag Team: Roadwarriors
4. First Mark out Moment: Sting taking Ric Flair to a draw at the first clash of champions. Converted to a "little Stinger" immediately during that match because I hated Flair and crew that much.
5. First Time You Cried at Wrestling: Sting getting kicked out of the horsemen/injuring his knee
6. First PPV you ever saw: Wrestlemania 5
7. First Hated Heel: Ric Flair/Ole Anderson. They were neck and neck
8: First Female Moment that turned you on:



9: First Moment Wrestling went too far with a segment: Undertaker hanging the Big Boss Man at Mania 15. Still is kinda uncomfortable to watch.
10: First Favorite Match you saw: Sting/Flair v Muta/Terry Funk Haloween Havoc 1989. Was supposed to hate Muta but dude was a real life ninja. Even as a kid I had to appreciate him.


Dope thread idea DBG

1. First Wrestling Memory: My neighbor had a Wrestlemania 7 tape (in 1996), this was before I got into wrestling, nor did this get me into wrestling. I will always remember that moment between Macho Man and Elizabeth. I didn't even get into wrestling until 97.
2. First Favorite Wrestler:Undertaker and still is today.
3. First Favorite Tag Team:New Age Outlaws
4. First Mark out Moment: Mankind falling off that Hell In A Cell.
5. First Time You Cried at Wrestling: Finding out Owen Hart died, watching the Raw IS Owen episode.
6. First PPV you ever saw: Royal Rumble 1999. I never consider my answer to the 1st question as the 1st PPV, since Royal Rumble 1999 was my first live PPV my parents ordered. The rest I would watch on tape after they came out. Or watch a recording of one from my friend.
7. First Hated Heel: Vince McMahon
8: First Female Moment that turned you on: As a female, I never really looked at other females in that way, the closest had to be something involving Trish.
9: First Moment Wrestling went too far with a segment: Vince McMahon/Linda/Trish storyline in late 2000-2001. I was 11 at the time and even though I knew wrestling was fake, I thought this was real and I was disgusted at Vince, lol.
10: First Favorite Match you saw:Undertaker vs Foley-Hell In A Cell. I still go back to that match more than any other, from a pure wrestling standpoint it's not that great, just amazing to see for me.

I have faint memories of Hogan, Macho and other wrestling prior this but my first crisp memories are of the ticker tape parade they had for Hogan when he joined WCW. I was about 4 or 5 years old then.

I actually watched a lot of 80's WWF stuff after this but I don't remember if they were replaying this shyt or if I was watching on VHS

as a child i apparently had hogan/warrior toys, but my earliest memories were of the 123 kid and razor ramon. i know i liked bret hart too but kid and ramon were definite favorites. saturday morning shows. and then finding out it was fake and hating it. and then getting back into it with austin getting big, watching summerslam 98 and that rock/triple h ladder match...

those days...

9. When Janetty jumped through the Barbershop window to get away from HBGoat. Just couldn't believe a man would stoop to such cowardice...actually I was a Lil Rockers mark and I was crushed. I don't know if I would say thats a too far moment but I guess as a 7 year old it was.

Gotta love Heenan. Possibly one of my top10 commentary moments.
