ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Hi all. I'm back. Some of you remember me, some don't...but anyway. I was getting to talking with Andrew T Skocik...and I was wondering...when you all started watching wrestling, who was the first wrestler you remember seeing? Me? Well...I think I know why I'm MUCH more tolerant of crap in wrestling. For me...the first wrestler that I ever saw was Irwin R. Schyster...in a 1994 King of the Ring Qualifying match. How about all you? Oh...and it's good to be back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Saw would be Hogan, obviously. I never actually saw a Hogan match until...it was either 95 or 96 in WCW. It was the infamous "shoe" match when Hogan was handcuffed and hit with a lady's shoe or something like that. First wrestler I saw before becoming a WWF fan was Bret Hart lacing his boots up on the Superstars intro--right after cartoons on Saturday mornings. First wrestler whose matches I dug enough to become a fan was HBK, in 95. When I first saw Hogan wrestle I was like "this guy sucks." I got into Bret more later on, but I was always more interested in matches, but later on I got to appreciate psychology more (Flair matches were boring to me at first). I thought Sid was funny...I didn't ever buy him as a serious heel, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AM The Kid Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I dont remember, I swear I started watching as soon as I opened my eyes after birth. I remember loving Hulk Hogan when I was really little but it was mostly all Bret Hart for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Hogan. Considering when I was younger, I HAD to be a Hulkamaniac cause Hulk... God was I naive then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest papacita Report post Posted May 10, 2003 First I saw would probably be someone like Hogan, Flair, JYD or Hillbilly Jim, since my bro was always a fan and he used to buy me toys and stuff when I was like 2 and 3. I started watching religiously when I tuned in to a match between Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect in 91. And both went on to become my favorite wrestlers.

Guest bravesfan Report post Posted May 10, 2003 The first wrestler (and show...and angle) I distinctly can remember seeing - Hulk Hogan getting punked out by Randy Savage on SNME, after leaving to tend to an injured Elizabeth, leaving Savage all by his lonesome. What a great angle. First match I really paid attention to -- Bossman/Hulk in the cage on SNME after the Zeus beatdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a great angle. First match I really paid attention to -- Bossman/Hulk in the cage on SNME after the Zeus beatdown. That's actually the first pro wrestling program I can remember as well. That's where I initially saw Savage. But became a raging Hulkamaniac shortly after. That ended at WM 8 when Bret fucking Hart got a brilliant match out of Roddy Piper.

Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Damn! That's been a long time! I'm really not sure. It's either Bob Armstrong, Robert Fuller, or The Flame. I'm not quite sure what The Flames real name was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Please, i got all of you beat I remember when i was a a very young little boy in about 1983 and the first wrestler i saw as my uncle was passing throught the channels with the remote was none other than.........Kevin Von Erich from WCCW. I saw it and i was like "what the hell?" I couldnt understand why this boxer was wearing no shoes at all and kept hitting some guys head into the turnbuckle.......ah memories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I've been watching wrestling as long as I can remember. I'd have to asume it was probably Hogan but since the first thing I can remember is Wrestlemania I'll take a stab with Tito Snatana because he came out first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jester Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I'm pretty sure it was Hogan/Bundy, right before their WM2 angle. Bundy became the first heel I cheered for, because I hated Hogan from second one. And I was amazed how little he did compared to the other wrestlers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted May 10, 2003 The Ultimate Warrior. The guy reminded me of a comic book super hero at the time so I watched him wrestle (I believe it was Ted Dibiase on a SNME) and was hooked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I can't remember exactly. I believe it was Jesse Ventura. I can remember the first time I watched WCW though. It was WCW Saturday Night, and it was a handicap match as Ron Simmons & 2 Cold Scorpio faced Cactus Jack, Tony Atlas, and some really big fat guy. It was a bizarre experience to say the least. I didn't watch WCW again until a Clash of the Champions, where I got to see the Hollywood Blondes, and the debut of the Shockmaster! At the time, I thought Shockmaster was SUPPOSED to trip and fall on his ass. I marked out when I saw it was Typhoon though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
