My very first WWE show was the Royal Rumble 1992 and Wrestlemania 8, and to this date they are my favourite WWE shows, I sort of lost interest say bout 1996 or so, and I even missed the 1998/99 Austin era, that all passed me by, what got me hooked again was exactly what Luke said, which was when Channel 4 in the UK started showing WWE on terrestial TV(I remember looking at the TV guide thinking it couldnt be right, but I was wrong ) and during that showing of Heat, they were promoting the 2000 Royal Rumble on Channel 4, which I watched and the Street Fight blew me away, watched all the channel 4 shows that I could until I got Sky just before Backlash 2001(missed out on watching wrestlemania x7 live grrr) and been a fan ever since, although not as much as I was in 2000/2001.
