Jeff Hardy and the Undertaker’s runs from 2007-2010 had me hooked every week. Armageddon 2008 was the first PPV my parents let me buy and the energy of Jeff winning his first title made me a weekly watcher.
I’m a recent fan, I started watching in March. I happened to be in the room while my brother was watching a promo between The Rock/Cody Rhodes that caught my attention. A couple weeks later I also happened to be in the room when the Rock beat up Cody in front of his tour bus; that was the moment I became a fan. I’ve watch every Raw, Smack Down, and PLE since. When I’m bored at work I’ll watch old PPV or famous matches, on occasion I’ll watch NXT. Hoping to attend my first live event soon.
My dad was always a wwe fan but I didn't fw it, I watched a few clips of the bloodline and said damn, Roman has aura, got in, and funny enough my favorite wrestlers are Seth and Orton with Roman at a close 3rd
Damn you're lucky because you started watching in the Triple H era and one of the best storylines of all time although you also then know how bad Vince McMahon is 😂😅
Undertaker and Edge are the two that got me into wrestling. Never forget that feud in 08. Good times. 😂. Ironically, they're also my one and two all-time favorites
Dude same here! I started really getting into WWE in 08 as well and I remembered when I got into it: It was a Friday night after school and I used to like watching the Dog Whisperer from 8 to 10 before going to bed. However, they stopped airing that show at one point and I was trying to find something to watch in it's place. Then I remember my cousin telling me about a wrestling show that comes on Friday nights at 8 and I decided to tune into Smackdown. Been a WWE fan since I even remember the episode where Vickie Guerrero stipped 'Taker of his world title because he used the Hell's Gate against Edge at WrestleMania.
2006, used to play Smackdown vs. Raw with my cousin for HOURS on his ps2. Finally got my Xbox 360 in 2007 and when I got SvR 2007 I fell in love. Shawn & H became my longtime favs, but I fell out of love in 2011, when Jeff Hardy and Shawn left wrestling respectively in 2009 & 2010. It wasn’t all the way until when WWE 2k22 come out and I became reimbursed into my childhood. Greatly enough, the new storylines with this deep roster got me into wrestling all together since again, recently got into AEW a couple of weeks ago.
Smackdown vs raw 2007 is one of my favorite videogames of all time. First WWE game I actually got when it was the newest game. Even got a sick deal on it from a small videogame shop because it had been returned without the case so it was only like $20😂 still have it actually
For me it was CM Punk vs The Miz vs Alberto del Rio, TLC 2011, it was the first ever wrestling match I saw and was instantly in love with Punk, been a fan ever since
Triple H vs Randy Orton’s fued in 09 is what got me into wrestling , i was 7 at the time, my pops and i would watch the raw re runs every saturday on telemundo , i remember watching Triple H break into Orton’s house and i thought it was the realest thing ever, lmaoo, was hooked ever since 👍🏼
Like with you I had to fall in love with Wrestling twice, the first was in 2008 with the Undertaker and Edge feud. The second time for me was in 2020 with the Thunderdome era, while it's a time everyone wants to forget for me it was a time where WWE had to get creative. The Boneyard Match, the Money in the Bank in the WWE HQ, the Wyatt Swamp fight, the Hurt Buisness. I grew an appreciation for Drew Mcintyre and Bray Wyatt the latter of which becoming my new favroite. This time around I never saw WWE as a serious sport and it made me appreciate the good storylines and characters all the more.
Yes, sir Edge and Taker, for the win. That's how I started, too. Although I wasn't watching too hard. I really got into it in 2010, and I was already contemplating what was going wrong? It was a low, but I stuck through. 😂
Mine initially was SuperEyePatch wolf’s video about Roman Reigns it was really well made and got me to dip my toes in pro wrestling. Then what really got me hooked was watching MJFs best insults and his feud with CM Punk who instantly became my favorite.
Mine was as a kid in 08 when i came across SmackDown and the first match I saw was Jeff Hardy vs The Big Show. It blew my mind at the time to see a guy Jeff's size fighting Big Show
The Judgement Day was a huge part of why I fell in love with professional wrestling. I was honestly drawn to their “darker” aesthetic and it made it go “Huh, where are they from?”. Rhea Ripley was the first wrestler to catch my eye, once again because of her style and just the POWER that she exudes is truly inspiring to me. Damien Priest was the next one to grab my attention, and eventually I got wrapped up in the Bloodline storylines and Roman Reigns is definitely another inspiration to me. The Judgement Day being the first faction to bring me to the world of WWE though, is the reason SummerSlam 2024 broke me a little, as beautiful as it was
My Dad took me to a Calgary Stampede Wrestling event, back in 1983. I was only 7 years old at the time, but I was completely awestruck, seeing guys like The Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith, & Bret Hart in the ring. We started going almost every week, after that, & I became a big fan. It wasn't until 1987, when my Dad scraped up the money to buy WrestleMania 3 on PPV, that I got my first look at the WWF. I didn't know, that wrestling was that popular, but 11 year old me, was left speechless, after seeing that huge crowd, & the spectral that was the WWF. I have been a wresting fan, for over 40 years.
@@harrymaguire5740shield debut aka survivor series 2012 was my first WWE watch as regular viewers. I have watched little bit ruthless agression era as well but not regularly since I was just born in 2001, watch little bit WWE around mid 2000s and know about every top guy in wwe before watching the WWE regularly in late 2012. My first ple was hell in a cell 2012 then I directly watched survivor series 2012 and become regular viewer of WWE since then
Huge fan of WWE in the 00s, fell in love with wrestling watching Bastista becoming the top guy. Stopped watching WWE once CM Punk became a champion in 2011. Decided to go to Wrestlemania 38 (2022) in Dallas (my hometown) purely to check off my childhood dream of attending one. And completely fell in love with WWE again, havent missed a single Raw/ SD /PLE since then!
TLC 2010 was the first ple I ever saw, however, what brought me in was a segment with The Miz the 3 ghosts of Christmas(aka Alex Riley Michael Cole and the angry girls face of when The Miz won the WWE title), Randy Orton Sheamus, John Morrison and Jerry The King Lawler on a random episode of raw.
I got into wrestling because my family were huge wrestling fans. Some of my family members fell out of it for a bit, but I’ve stayed watching it alongside my dad
I started watching in 2009 or so and stopped around 2017 and started again during the 2023 road to Wrestlemania and I've kept watching it since. I love it.
Shawn Michaels. The Undertaker. Kane. Stone Cold. Triple H. Batista. Randy Orton. Ric Flair. Need I continue? 😅 Oh, and perhaps hot take, but Carlito was always so underrated. Loved that caribbean cool gimmick.
The thing I love about this is understanding the fact that people get into things differently. Its always nice to get to know other people’s experiences in gaining interests into franchises like WWE
For me it’s you Santi ! I stopped watching during dog food storyline with roman reigns but in 2022 I randomly found your video in my feed and i followed you to watch video every week to catch up but now I have become a hardcore fan of wrestling again, now I watch wrestling live every week . Thankyou Santi !!
The very first CD that I had was Undertaker vs Batista, Hell in a cell, plus Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, & Big Show vs Triple H & Shawn Michaels in a Hell in a Cell 3v2 handicap match. One of the most entertaining matches I’ve ever seen 😂
As a kid I loved the attitude era but never understood storylines that well. The storytelling in the Bloodline is what made me come back and follow week to week again and now I’m invested in all storylines in WWE.
I watched WWE casually on and off since 2004 but Jeff Hardy winning the WWE title in 2008 is what hooked me into watching full time. When Punk left WWE I stopped watching for about 2 years but then got back into watching casually with AJ Styles debut in 2016 and have been a fan since.
yeah, randy orton vs triple h that ended at wrestlemania 25 is what got me into it as well. i stopped watching entirely after undertaker lost his streak then started watching religiously again after i seen wrestlemania 40. Randy Orton is and has been my favorite superstar. Iyo Sky is probably my favorite woman wrestler.
i think seeing a list of your “perfect matches” would be fun. matches can be perfect without being your favorites and i think it would be nice to see your distinction
I have recently gotten back into WWE. I had started watching around 2014 and fell out when Covid hit. I decided to come back when I saw a commercial for the WM 40 tag team match. I wanted to see the Rock wrestle for real for the first time. I came for the Rock, stayed for the story. I have been 120% all in since then. I know a lot of modern and classic knowledge now
I'm going to elaborate on Japanese wrestling and why I enjoy it. Oct. 2019 Jushin Liger announces his retirement for WrestleKingdom 14 in 2020. I think 'He wrestled in WCW with Brian Pillman multiple times and those are classics. And of course I love anime, and Liger is a Go Nagai character, so I watch WK14 and my god it was amazing. Then of course I want more and New Japan World (their version of the WWE Network) and UA-cam lead to thousands of matches.
To be honest I fell in love again, because of your Tiktok videos, which brought me back to wrestling after becoming a father and just not having the time back then. So thank you for that ❤
I started watching wrestling in 2013 (when I was 9) soon after the shield debuted. I absolutely fell in love with the shield and everything they did, especially Dean Ambrose. I was even watching when Seth Rollins turned on them. That moment, my reaction to it, will always be engrained in my memory forever
I have to say what brought me back was the road to WrestleMania 40 with Cody Rhodes and the Bloodline, I've stopped watching WWE for 7 years and this storyline is easily one of the greatest stories I've ever seen. And now we have our big two babyfaces Cody and Roman in light of Hogan and Savage, Rock and Stone Cold, Cena and Batista etc.
For me, the thing that got me hooked was the Undertaker and Kane feud from '98. I was 10 years old and Wrestlemania 14 was my first real pay per view. There was just something about those two characters and the lore of their story that got me hooked. In terms of a feud or matches that made me fall in love even more with wrestling. The one that stands out in my mind is Foley vs Triple H from 1999/2000. Their match at the Royal Rumble and their sequel at No Way Out made me fall even more in love with it than I already was. There's been other things since then, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and the early days of both TNA and AEW are examples of these things. But I'll leave it there as I could keep on waffling.
Also, hearing about Okada vs Omega. I was just like who are these guys and then I couldn’t stop watching their matches over and over again. This really got me back into professional wrestling and it led into my love for NXT black and gold
The end of Rock and Austin's time in WWE, we had rakishi, HHH, undertaker, Kane.... Then came John Cena and blew me away. I stopped liking wrestling when I seen Straigt Edge Society and the pipe bom promo. You can't just cut the woman's hair off like that, and quit complaining about working for the BIGGEST wrestling promotion in HISTORY. Fell back in love with Wyatt Family, 2017.
I feel in love with wrestling around 2008. I was only 4 years old and my dad was watching me on that fateful Monday when wrestling came on and he loved it. I rember him telling me that I was so intrigued with what was going on. For some reason I can’t remember things that far back but have always known I loved wrestling. I filmed myself doing stuff with friends on the trampoline. Anyways ever since he showed me it was 1 of 2 things we ever bonded over. Now sadly 16 years later we don’t bond over it like we used to and he has pretty much faded away as I start my life as a grown adult
I was a little kid during Hogan's reign but I didn't watch it exclusively until I was in middle school. My friend called me up and told me the Insane Clown Posse was on RAW and it just happened to be the episode where Stone Cold came on the show after being fired and kidnapped McMahon, took him out to the ring and shot him with the fake (BANG) gun. I never missed an episode after that until I got into high school and phased out til I met my wife, got my friends password for the WWE network and started rewatching the 90s era. She got interested one day after finding out that Dwayne Johnson wasn't just a movie star, but the most electrifying man in sports entertainment and now we watch it together when we have time.
Honestly I just got into WWE before Summerslam this year and the things that got me in it was like tiktoks of Jey Uso and the Judgement day implosion, but the PLE itself got me hooked
I'm a Gen Xer, so my first experience with pro wrestling was Hogan, Macho Man, Andre, Hart Foundation, etc. In my early adulthood it was the Attitude Era, so. Wrestling and I have parted ways many times through out my life, but we always seem to come back together.
i remember being a fan from 2010-2013. i fell out of love just cuz i was entering middle school and i thought i was too cool for wrestling. in 2023 i saw cody rhodes (a mid carder in my eyes) win the royal rumble from a reaction on tik tok (pretty sure it was santi) and was soo confused. so i learned everything about his departure and his indy run. then i fell in love with his story and wwe in general. last night i went to my first ever wrestling event (monday night raw saw jey uso win the ic title) and was one of the best days ever
I know I'm super new to this but WWE 2K23 and Night of Champions 2023 got me into pro wrestling and I've been hooked ever since, especially attached to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins
Even though people can be toxic in glad there's an online wrestling community because it's been hard for me to find anyone irl that likes wrestling in my area. It's either they watched it and stopped or they're just a casual
My interest was peaked for the first time when The Rock started posting this year about being involved again leading up to Wrestlemania 40 & Wrestlemania was actually the very first WWE event I had ever watched on TV. I didn't have access at the time to watch any Raw or Smackdown shows so I was fresh into WWE but after Wrestlemania I started watching more & learning as much as I could because I was hooked! I'll be going to my first live show in November! I also followed & subscribed to SanchoWest when he was doing more in the Fortnite & gaming scene & still kept up with what he was doing when he moved to more wrestling content so I credit him & The Rock for my new obsession! 😂
I fell in love with wrestling back in 1998. It was the DDP/Raven rivalry in WCW, and then the nWo Wolfpack formation. Eventually I would switch over to WWF and stay there. I fell out of love in 2002 after the Invasion... it wasn't cool to be into wrestling anymore. I didn't fall back into love with wrestling until earlier this year with The Rock coming back. I wanted to get my son into it, and he likes it. I hope to take my son to a show soon.
I started watching pro wrestling as a teenager in 1999, and have been absolutely obsessed ever since. There's nothing in human culture anywhere on Earth quite like it. NB King Bookah was fucking amazing, I genuinely think that was the angle that turned me into a "some people just wanna see it burn" smarky asshole type of fan
The attitude era made me love wrestling.....Stone cold....The rock...Undertaker....Triple h.....Mandkind....Kurt Angle.....The best era in the history of wwe
wrestlemania 21 as a whole made me fall in love with wrestling the creation of 4 of my favorite wrestlers into the main event solidified my stay in this world that i am still in till this day
For me, I watched Summerslam 2013 at my friends house. Watching the DB vs. Cena match, HHH turning heel, then Orton cashing in was a confusing but entertaining moment as a first time watcher!
I started watching wrestling in late 2019, and I started with WWE UA-cam videos. I usually watched the Royal Rumbles, they were my favorites, but I also remember loving the Team Authority vs Team Cena match, and something called Monster Mash Battle Royal, which included Kane, Mark Henry, Big Daddy V and Great Khali.
I fell in love with wrestling twice. The first time was during 09 woth the Triple H vs Orton feud going into wrestlemania. That scene of him breaking into orton's house is still the most badass thing i have ever watched in wwe. Then the night cm punk cut the pipebomb it made me fall in love with wwe all over again. It's no surprise both triple h and punk are my favorite wrestlers ever.
Mine was watching The Iron Claw last year. It was such a great movie that reinvigorated my love of wrestling. My dad introduced me to WWE in the mid 2000s when I was a kid but I don’t really remember much outside of loving Rey and Cena from that era and then I fell off of WWE around the time The Shield and Wyatt Family feud was starting IIRC. My dad continued watching but unfortunately he passed away in 2016 so I never really had the chance to start watching again.
I had a cousin who was a fan back in 2012 but I never got into it back then. It wasn't until a friend and I watched Wrestlemania 31 live that made me fall in love with WWE and pro wrestling as a whole. I'll always hold fond memories of that mania.
The DX vs Spirit Squad in like 2006 got me. My brother and I loved it. I remember thinking “how lucky. I start watching right now, and THIS is happening!?” Didn’t understand feuds are manufactured 😂
I have faint, probably made up, memories of watching bits and pieces of some stuff around 99 and 2002, but what I definitely watched and got me hooked was the Eddie Guerrero vs JBL feud in 2004, Eddie and Chris' coronations in WM XX and everything I have ever watched from Rey Mysterio. I fell out of love in WM 30 because I am an Undertaker fan and was done with the product when the streak ended, and only came back at this year WM 40. I never fully went without knowing what was going on, so I knew some stuff about Rock, Cody and Roman, but what solidified my newfound love for WWE was Seth Rollins doing the heavylifting.
For me it was the pipe bomb. I came into wrestling as an 11 year old thinking it's gonna be a simple two people wrestling each other, then cm punk drops the pipe bomb, opening my mind to all the drama and politics involved in this and then boom i was hooked
Mick Foley and beyond the mat made me fall in love with Wrestling, followed by Mankind's main event push. I fell out of Wrestling with after the Benoit horror. I fell back in love with Wrestling with the Sasha/Charlotte war. The athleticism blew away previous female feuds.
When I was about 8 years old I watched a vhs that my aunt had called “rock and roll wrestling.” That made me curious about wrestling. But what made me love wrestling was the lead up to wrestlemania 14. Austin vs Shawn michaels and the undertaker vs Kane. I’m only 37, so don’t think I’m old if you know that vhs
I didn’t get into wrestling until the Authority storyline and how amazing it was. John Cena, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were amazing around this time and I truely fell in love with the Edge segment. Another reason I love wrestling is because when I got into wrestling I was introduced to Jimmy and Jey USO. What got me into them two is just the fact that they are twins and me and my twin brother have the same name.
Mine was a random raw in 2004, a battle royal to determine who faced triple h later in the show for the whc. Benoit and Edge hit the floor at the same time, and they both got added to the world title match where benoit submitted edge as edge pinned him. I was HOOKED. It eventually led to the Elimination chamber for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship, my favorite match ever.
for me, i had dvd's of a shit ton of matches and old PLEs that i rewatched, every. single. night. there was a bunch of different things but there 4 things i remember specifically. One was CM Punk being champ and having Aj Lee with him, Two was Sin Cara in a handicap match, Three was a match with Bret Hart and someone else i cant exactly remember right now, and then the main one i remember was John Cena vs The Big Show in a steel cage match that had something to do with John Lauranitis. that is what really pushed me into wrestling
Similar to Santi, i started watching wrestling in 08 and the shawn/taker fued made me fall in love. but i fell out of love maybe around 2017 and recently fell back in love with it during the tribal chief era. i even ended up going to wrestlemania 40 night 1 and having the best day of my life
For me it was Survivor Series ‘14, I was a huge fan John Cena and I really didn’t want to see him go, when Dolph Ziggler was the only one left I had no hope. Until my guy pulled the greatest comeback in history. I would then forever be a Dolph Ziggler fan.
I'm 28 this year and back when I was 3 years old my father would tune in to smackdown and I will watch alone. Unfortunately my dad passed on the very next year and my family was against wrestling as they believe it was violence.. not suitable for me to watch. Until when I was 12 when I walk passed a DVD shop, I purchased WrestleMania 24 and my the first match that impress me was Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair in a career threatening match. It make me fall in love then and then it come John Cena after I fully understand his gimmick of never give up. It was because of John Cena , I adapt a never say die attitude and cement myself as a wrestling fan. Without buying the DVD , I probably would just heard of John Cena as the famous wrestle but I won't be here today as someone that refuse to give up.
My family like wrestling already when I was born in 97, used to watch wwf as a toddler even went to summerslam 2000 in person with my family as a just over 3 year old. Apparently my favorite wrestler at that age was Chris Jericho according to my mom but I don’t have super vivid memory of things when I was that young so I can’t pinpoint something that got me interested in wrestling, but I can remember vividly the storyline that got me hooked when I was 5 years old Kurt angle was doing the open challenges on smackdown and I enjoyed the angle segments on their own but little did I know one of those people who challenged him would go on to portray a white rapper character who I just loved being a young white kid who’s favorite music was rap music. John cena as the doctor and his us title run was what got me truly hooked on wwe and he stayed my favorite until I stopped watching wrestling in like 2008
My story is similar to yours. I don't remember why but my parents dropped me off at one of their friends house to watch me and they had a son that was watching WrestleMania X8. And I fell in love right after that. RAW aired to late so I never got to watch it, but SmackDown on Thursdays, I kept up religiously with. Angle, Edge, Benoit, etc. really got me into it. I fell away in 8th grade because it wasn't cool. Decided to watch again my senior year of high school which was 2011. in 2013 I fell away again because of college and jumped back into it in 2019 with Kofi mania.
I stumbled on a random episode of TNA back in the day on my local channel RDS. I got to watch Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Abyss, Ric Flair and the Woo-off etc. Golden times for me! Everything started with TNA basically haha.
mine was honestly seth rollins’s and dean ambrose in 2015 when seth had the wwe title it was just so much fun watching during that time and also when i got into it
Missed the post on Twitter so will give my falling in love with wrestling, falling out of love of it and then falling in low with all over again. I had just moved in to a new place in December 2004 so while doing my laundry sunday evening I channel surfed and stumbled over RAW followed by Smackdown shortly after Survivor Series. It became a part of my end of the week ritual but after a while I was so hooked I watched every episode and PPV the day after they were aired in a very legal way(;P). At some point a few years later it was no longer what it was. I didn't take to CM Punk as you did and was already out when you fell back in love with wrestling. I might have caught a Royal Rumble since that was my favorite type of match for every year. Then, last autum or late summer, I saw that a woman I follow on X had taken her daughter to Smackdown so she could see her favorite LA Knight after having had a rough time at school. LA Knight intrigued me and I watch a video about LA Knight and now I was almost hook. Then I saw he had a title match at Crown Jewel and I stumbled over your video where you pointed out that LA Knight kinda won because there was a three count. I had to watch the match and what happened next. Shortly afterwards I was hook and now I watch the PLEs very legally at least. Even watch NXT pretty frequently (Je'Von Evans will be the one to dethrone Oba Femi). So yeah, fallen in love again at it has been a sweet time so far.
I'm an old head who started watching when I was about 4 in the early 80's. It's hard to remember the territory days because I was so young. But even then, I was kind of a heel section fan. I remember Jake The Snake Roberts being one of the first people who really caught my attention. It was a very strange attraction, because his promo style would legitimately scare the 💩 out of me as a 4 year old boy!!! But there was also a big part of me who thought he was REALLY COOL!!!
I became a wrestling fan in 1999, it was Kane that got me hooked, I was so into it I started school wrestling (6th grade) in 2001 and would continue until I finished high school in 2008. I then found a local promotion started training there in 2009, had my first pro wrestling match within 4 months of training and have been killing it ever since.
Following for a while. This was a particularly fun video for me. Keep making videos, I’ll keep watching them. Maybe take a day off now and then tho my man.
I was always ashamed to say my introduction to wrestling was through TNA. In the UK TNA was more easily accessible than RAW and Smackdown and I started watching TNA in 2006. And seeing guys like Joe, AJ, Daniels, MCMG, Angle, Sting tearing it up was so fascinating to me. Eventually when we could watch RAW and Smackdown I started watching that more and more and eventually I did stop watching TNA around 2012 because Hogan was unbearable but if it wasn’t for TNA I wouldn’t be a wrestling fan
Mine was back in 2009. A 5 year old me sat down during a random Friday night while my older brother was watching smackdown. So I started watching it on my own and little ole me fell in love with watching Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. My love for professional wrestling and WWE as a whole came from my older brother and it just stuck
For me it was John cena..... Surprisingly in Africa in the 2008,09,10,11....Jonh cena was more popular than the wwe 😂.......as Young kids we could say' we are going to watch john Cena ' even if John cena wasn't in the show 😂😂😂......Thank you cena for building our childhood
Since Def Rebel seem to be leaving the WWE soon, I think you should rank every Def Rebel theme
I think he did that already but idk when
All F except for a couple of them.
Tbh Roman Reigns, the way he tells the story of the Bloodline really made me interested
Same here
The entire Eddie Guerrero motivation for Rey Mysterio storyline. The ultimate underdog with so much emotion. Instantly hooked.
Damn unc
Ilja vs Walter will always be a yearly rewatch, wrestling, slaps and MEATTTT.
That match was fire 🔥🔥🔥
Jeff Hardy and the Undertaker’s runs from 2007-2010 had me hooked every week. Armageddon 2008 was the first PPV my parents let me buy and the energy of Jeff winning his first title made me a weekly watcher.
same man Armageddon 2008 was an amazing night for me. Royal rumble 2023 was when I started watching weekly again
Am I the only one who enjoys the hotel room setting over his casual recording setup?
you ain't alone buddy
With you brother.
I’m a recent fan, I started watching in March. I happened to be in the room while my brother was watching a promo between The Rock/Cody Rhodes that caught my attention. A couple weeks later I also happened to be in the room when the Rock beat up Cody in front of his tour bus; that was the moment I became a fan. I’ve watch every Raw, Smack Down, and PLE since. When I’m bored at work I’ll watch old PPV or famous matches, on occasion I’ll watch NXT. Hoping to attend my first live event soon.
Welcome to the family!
Mine was the entire bloodline story. I was getting into wrestling and this just helped define wrestling as one of my favorite things.
Same
Same here
I would agree if I hadn’t literally been born watching WWE. Like literally a day after I was born my dad turned on the TV and made me watch WWE
My dad was always a wwe fan but I didn't fw it, I watched a few clips of the bloodline and said damn, Roman has aura, got in, and funny enough my favorite wrestlers are Seth and Orton with Roman at a close 3rd
Damn you're lucky because you started watching in the Triple H era and one of the best storylines of all time although you also then know how bad Vince McMahon is 😂😅
Undertaker and Edge are the two that got me into wrestling. Never forget that feud in 08. Good times. 😂. Ironically, they're also my one and two all-time favorites
Edge was my biggest heel so having him sent to hell put a big smile on my face
Wow same bro
We're the same 😂
Dude same here! I started really getting into WWE in 08 as well and I remembered when I got into it: It was a Friday night after school and I used to like watching the Dog Whisperer from 8 to 10 before going to bed. However, they stopped airing that show at one point and I was trying to find something to watch in it's place. Then I remember my cousin telling me about a wrestling show that comes on Friday nights at 8 and I decided to tune into Smackdown. Been a WWE fan since I even remember the episode where Vickie Guerrero stipped 'Taker of his world title because he used the Hell's Gate against Edge at WrestleMania.
I gotta rewatch that feud. I remember watching it but i don't remember anything about it lol
2006, used to play Smackdown vs. Raw with my cousin for HOURS on his ps2. Finally got my Xbox 360 in 2007 and when I got SvR 2007 I fell in love. Shawn & H became my longtime favs, but I fell out of love in 2011, when Jeff Hardy and Shawn left wrestling respectively in 2009 & 2010.
It wasn’t all the way until when WWE 2k22 come out and I became reimbursed into my childhood. Greatly enough, the new storylines with this deep roster got me into wrestling all together since again, recently got into AEW a couple of weeks ago.
Smackdown vs raw 2007 is one of my favorite videogames of all time. First WWE game I actually got when it was the newest game. Even got a sick deal on it from a small videogame shop because it had been returned without the case so it was only like $20😂 still have it actually
For me it was CM Punk vs The Miz vs Alberto del Rio, TLC 2011, it was the first ever wrestling match I saw and was instantly in love with Punk, been a fan ever since
Triple H vs Randy Orton’s fued in 09 is what got me into wrestling , i was 7 at the time, my pops and i would watch the raw re runs every saturday on telemundo , i remember watching Triple H break into Orton’s house and i thought it was the realest thing ever, lmaoo, was hooked ever since 👍🏼
2009 was a good year for wrestling. Bald Orton was the biggest meance that year. 😂
Whenever he rkod Steph and kissed her. Bros a menace 😂😂
Bray wyatt. Everytime. The fiend, and from there I branched out into the other horror based gimmics, from wyatt and others, and it grew from there
Like with you I had to fall in love with Wrestling twice, the first was in 2008 with the Undertaker and Edge feud.
The second time for me was in 2020 with the Thunderdome era, while it's a time everyone wants to forget for me it was a time where WWE had to get creative. The Boneyard Match, the Money in the Bank in the WWE HQ, the Wyatt Swamp fight, the Hurt Buisness. I grew an appreciation for Drew Mcintyre and Bray Wyatt the latter of which becoming my new favroite. This time around I never saw WWE as a serious sport and it made me appreciate the good storylines and characters all the more.
Yes, sir Edge and Taker, for the win. That's how I started, too. Although I wasn't watching too hard. I really got into it in 2010, and I was already contemplating what was going wrong? It was a low, but I stuck through. 😂
Mine initially was SuperEyePatch wolf’s video about Roman Reigns it was really well made and got me to dip my toes in pro wrestling. Then what really got me hooked was watching MJFs best insults and his feud with CM Punk who instantly became my favorite.
I became a fan when I saw Kane set MVP on fire in 2006 lol
MVP has been very underrated in my opinion.
@@nagatubimaru definitely, he wouldve rocked the wwe spinner belt better than Cena
@@tmac731 🙏
Mine was as a kid in 08 when i came across SmackDown and the first match I saw was Jeff Hardy vs The Big Show. It blew my mind at the time to see a guy Jeff's size fighting Big Show
Me too but I watch wrestling because Randy Orton 08
The Judgement Day was a huge part of why I fell in love with professional wrestling. I was honestly drawn to their “darker” aesthetic and it made it go “Huh, where are they from?”. Rhea Ripley was the first wrestler to catch my eye, once again because of her style and just the POWER that she exudes is truly inspiring to me. Damien Priest was the next one to grab my attention, and eventually I got wrapped up in the Bloodline storylines and Roman Reigns is definitely another inspiration to me.
The Judgement Day being the first faction to bring me to the world of WWE though, is the reason SummerSlam 2024 broke me a little, as beautiful as it was
My dad watched WWE/WWF and had Undertaker as his fav wrestler and in 2021 ko vs reigns at the royal rumble made me a fan.
My Dad took me to a Calgary Stampede Wrestling event, back in 1983. I was only 7 years old at the time, but I was completely awestruck, seeing guys like The Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith, & Bret Hart in the ring. We started going almost every week, after that, & I became a big fan. It wasn't until 1987, when my Dad scraped up the money to buy WrestleMania 3 on PPV, that I got my first look at the WWF. I didn't know, that wrestling was that popular, but 11 year old me, was left speechless, after seeing that huge crowd, & the spectral that was the WWF. I have been a wresting fan, for over 40 years.
Crazy how ones worst year ever as a wrestling fan (2010-11) was my childhood nostalgia 😭😭😭
Big Dog Roman Reigns was my childhood nostalgia 💀 I started watching wrestling multiple years before but big dog Roman is most of my memories 😂
@@harrymaguire5740shield debut aka survivor series 2012 was my first WWE watch as regular viewers. I have watched little bit ruthless agression era as well but not regularly since I was just born in 2001, watch little bit WWE around mid 2000s and know about every top guy in wwe before watching the WWE regularly in late 2012. My first ple was hell in a cell 2012 then I directly watched survivor series 2012 and become regular viewer of WWE since then
Huge fan of WWE in the 00s, fell in love with wrestling watching Bastista becoming the top guy.
Stopped watching WWE once CM Punk became a champion in 2011.
Decided to go to Wrestlemania 38 (2022) in Dallas (my hometown) purely to check off my childhood dream of attending one. And completely fell in love with WWE again, havent missed a single Raw/ SD /PLE since then!
TLC 2010 was the first ple I ever saw, however, what brought me in was a segment with The Miz the 3 ghosts of Christmas(aka Alex Riley Michael Cole and the angry girls face of when The Miz won the WWE title), Randy Orton Sheamus, John Morrison and Jerry The King Lawler on a random episode of raw.
I got into wrestling because my family were huge wrestling fans. Some of my family members fell out of it for a bit, but I’ve stayed watching it alongside my dad
I started watching in 2009 or so and stopped around 2017 and started again during the 2023 road to Wrestlemania and I've kept watching it since. I love it.
I've been a wrestling fan since 1976
Are you immortal
Shawn Michaels. The Undertaker. Kane. Stone Cold. Triple H. Batista. Randy Orton. Ric Flair. Need I continue? 😅
Oh, and perhaps hot take, but Carlito was always so underrated. Loved that caribbean cool gimmick.
The thing I love about this is understanding the fact that people get into things differently. Its always nice to get to know other people’s experiences in gaining interests into franchises like WWE
In 2012, my dad introduced me and got me into WWE. He started watching WWFas it was then in 1998 and still watches today.
Cena vs Punk, Raw 2013.
Jeff Hardy is the only right answer to the title
Agreed. Always wondered what would of been if he got a handle on his substance abuse problems
Jeff vs. Randy raw January 2008
For me it’s you Santi !
I stopped watching during dog food storyline with roman reigns but in 2022 I randomly found your video in my feed and i followed you to watch video every week to catch up but now I have become a hardcore fan of wrestling again, now I watch wrestling live every week .
Thankyou Santi !!
The very first CD that I had was Undertaker vs Batista, Hell in a cell, plus Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, & Big Show vs Triple H & Shawn Michaels in a Hell in a Cell 3v2 handicap match. One of the most entertaining matches I’ve ever seen 😂
John Cena and Edge’s 2006 feud got me into it. I remember Cena attacking him in the hotel and throwing him in the Long Island Sound 😂
As a kid I loved the attitude era but never understood storylines that well. The storytelling in the Bloodline is what made me come back and follow week to week again and now I’m invested in all storylines in WWE.
I watched WWE casually on and off since 2004 but Jeff Hardy winning the WWE title in 2008 is what hooked me into watching full time. When Punk left WWE I stopped watching for about 2 years but then got back into watching casually with AJ Styles debut in 2016 and have been a fan since.
yeah, randy orton vs triple h that ended at wrestlemania 25 is what got me into it as well. i stopped watching entirely after undertaker lost his streak then started watching religiously again after i seen wrestlemania 40. Randy Orton is and has been my favorite superstar. Iyo Sky is probably my favorite woman wrestler.
i think seeing a list of your “perfect matches” would be fun. matches can be perfect without being your favorites and i think it would be nice to see your distinction
I have recently gotten back into WWE. I had started watching around 2014 and fell out when Covid hit. I decided to come back when I saw a commercial for the WM 40 tag team match. I wanted to see the Rock wrestle for real for the first time. I came for the Rock, stayed for the story. I have been 120% all in since then. I know a lot of modern and classic knowledge now
I started watching because of Roman’s title reign
I'm going to elaborate on Japanese wrestling and why I enjoy it.
Oct. 2019 Jushin Liger announces his retirement for WrestleKingdom 14 in 2020. I think 'He wrestled in WCW with Brian Pillman multiple times and those are classics. And of course I love anime, and Liger is a Go Nagai character, so I watch WK14 and my god it was amazing.
Then of course I want more and New Japan World (their version of the WWE Network) and UA-cam lead to thousands of matches.
To be honest I fell in love again, because of your Tiktok videos, which brought me back to wrestling after becoming a father and just not having the time back then. So thank you for that ❤
I started watching wrestling in 2013 (when I was 9) soon after the shield debuted. I absolutely fell in love with the shield and everything they did, especially Dean Ambrose. I was even watching when Seth Rollins turned on them. That moment, my reaction to it, will always be engrained in my memory forever
I have to say what brought me back was the road to WrestleMania 40 with Cody Rhodes and the Bloodline, I've stopped watching WWE for 7 years and this storyline is easily one of the greatest stories I've ever seen. And now we have our big two babyfaces Cody and Roman in light of Hogan and Savage, Rock and Stone Cold, Cena and Batista etc.
For me, the thing that got me hooked was the Undertaker and Kane feud from '98. I was 10 years old and Wrestlemania 14 was my first real pay per view. There was just something about those two characters and the lore of their story that got me hooked.
In terms of a feud or matches that made me fall in love even more with wrestling. The one that stands out in my mind is Foley vs Triple H from 1999/2000. Their match at the Royal Rumble and their sequel at No Way Out made me fall even more in love with it than I already was.
There's been other things since then, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and the early days of both TNA and AEW are examples of these things. But I'll leave it there as I could keep on waffling.
Also, hearing about Okada vs Omega. I was just like who are these guys and then I couldn’t stop watching their matches over and over again. This really got me back into professional wrestling and it led into my love for NXT black and gold
The end of Rock and Austin's time in WWE, we had rakishi, HHH, undertaker, Kane.... Then came John Cena and blew me away.
I stopped liking wrestling when I seen Straigt Edge Society and the pipe bom promo. You can't just cut the woman's hair off like that, and quit complaining about working for the BIGGEST wrestling promotion in HISTORY.
Fell back in love with Wyatt Family, 2017.
I feel in love with wrestling around 2008. I was only 4 years old and my dad was watching me on that fateful Monday when wrestling came on and he loved it. I rember him telling me that I was so intrigued with what was going on. For some reason I can’t remember things that far back but have always known I loved wrestling. I filmed myself doing stuff with friends on the trampoline. Anyways ever since he showed me it was 1 of 2 things we ever bonded over. Now sadly 16 years later we don’t bond over it like we used to and he has pretty much faded away as I start my life as a grown adult
chop chop go and upload wrestling boy
I was a little kid during Hogan's reign but I didn't watch it exclusively until I was in middle school. My friend called me up and told me the Insane Clown Posse was on RAW and it just happened to be the episode where Stone Cold came on the show after being fired and kidnapped McMahon, took him out to the ring and shot him with the fake (BANG) gun. I never missed an episode after that until I got into high school and phased out til I met my wife, got my friends password for the WWE network and started rewatching the 90s era. She got interested one day after finding out that Dwayne Johnson wasn't just a movie star, but the most electrifying man in sports entertainment and now we watch it together when we have time.
Honestly I just got into WWE before Summerslam this year and the things that got me in it was like tiktoks of Jey Uso and the Judgement day implosion, but the PLE itself got me hooked
I'm a Gen Xer, so my first experience with pro wrestling was Hogan, Macho Man, Andre, Hart Foundation, etc. In my early adulthood it was the Attitude Era, so. Wrestling and I have parted ways many times through out my life, but we always seem to come back together.
i remember being a fan from 2010-2013. i fell out of love just cuz i was entering middle school and i thought i was too cool for wrestling. in 2023 i saw cody rhodes (a mid carder in my eyes) win the royal rumble from a reaction on tik tok (pretty sure it was santi) and was soo confused. so i learned everything about his departure and his indy run. then i fell in love with his story and wwe in general. last night i went to my first ever wrestling event (monday night raw saw jey uso win the ic title) and was one of the best days ever
YO JEY USO DID IT I'M SO UPSET HE'S NOT HERE TO WATCH THIS LIVE
I know I'm super new to this but WWE 2K23 and Night of Champions 2023 got me into pro wrestling and I've been hooked ever since, especially attached to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins
I'm with JAKE. SmackDown VS RAW 2011 on PS2 is what got me interested in wrestling.
Even though people can be toxic in glad there's an online wrestling community because it's been hard for me to find anyone irl that likes wrestling in my area. It's either they watched it and stopped or they're just a casual
My interest was peaked for the first time when The Rock started posting this year about being involved again leading up to Wrestlemania 40 & Wrestlemania was actually the very first WWE event I had ever watched on TV. I didn't have access at the time to watch any Raw or Smackdown shows so I was fresh into WWE but after Wrestlemania I started watching more & learning as much as I could because I was hooked! I'll be going to my first live show in November! I also followed & subscribed to SanchoWest when he was doing more in the Fortnite & gaming scene & still kept up with what he was doing when he moved to more wrestling content so I credit him & The Rock for my new obsession! 😂
The first episode of raw I ever watched was the debut of the nexus and I was hooked ever since
I fell in love with wrestling back in 1998. It was the DDP/Raven rivalry in WCW, and then the nWo Wolfpack formation. Eventually I would switch over to WWF and stay there.
I fell out of love in 2002 after the Invasion... it wasn't cool to be into wrestling anymore. I didn't fall back into love with wrestling until earlier this year with The Rock coming back. I wanted to get my son into it, and he likes it. I hope to take my son to a show soon.
Mine was Kane ruining litas wedding, CM punk in royal rumble 2013, and Sami zayn vs John Knoxville
I started watching pro wrestling as a teenager in 1999, and have been absolutely obsessed ever since. There's nothing in human culture anywhere on Earth quite like it.
NB King Bookah was fucking amazing, I genuinely think that was the angle that turned me into a "some people just wanna see it burn" smarky asshole type of fan
The attitude era made me love wrestling.....Stone cold....The rock...Undertaker....Triple h.....Mandkind....Kurt Angle.....The best era in the history of wwe
DX got me into wrestling, when I was still at school the "Suck It" was popular and we were all doing the taunt in class 😂
Big shoutout to the Undertakers streak which was must watch every year and Edge for being the best heel in the 2000's 💪
wrestlemania 21 as a whole made me fall in love with wrestling the creation of 4 of my favorite wrestlers into the main event solidified my stay in this world that i am still in till this day
For me, I watched Summerslam 2013 at my friends house. Watching the DB vs. Cena match, HHH turning heel, then Orton cashing in was a confusing but entertaining moment as a first time watcher!
I started watching wrestling in late 2019, and I started with WWE UA-cam videos. I usually watched the Royal Rumbles, they were my favorites, but I also remember loving the Team Authority vs Team Cena match, and something called Monster Mash Battle Royal, which included Kane, Mark Henry, Big Daddy V and Great Khali.
I fell in love with wrestling twice. The first time was during 09 woth the Triple H vs Orton feud going into wrestlemania. That scene of him breaking into orton's house is still the most badass thing i have ever watched in wwe. Then the night cm punk cut the pipebomb it made me fall in love with wwe all over again. It's no surprise both triple h and punk are my favorite wrestlers ever.
Mine was watching The Iron Claw last year. It was such a great movie that reinvigorated my love of wrestling. My dad introduced me to WWE in the mid 2000s when I was a kid but I don’t really remember much outside of loving Rey and Cena from that era and then I fell off of WWE around the time The Shield and Wyatt Family feud was starting IIRC. My dad continued watching but unfortunately he passed away in 2016 so I never really had the chance to start watching again.
I had a cousin who was a fan back in 2012 but I never got into it back then. It wasn't until a friend and I watched Wrestlemania 31 live that made me fall in love with WWE and pro wrestling as a whole. I'll always hold fond memories of that mania.
Underrated mania for sure
The DX vs Spirit Squad in like 2006 got me. My brother and I loved it. I remember thinking “how lucky. I start watching right now, and THIS is happening!?” Didn’t understand feuds are manufactured 😂
I have faint, probably made up, memories of watching bits and pieces of some stuff around 99 and 2002, but what I definitely watched and got me hooked was the Eddie Guerrero vs JBL feud in 2004, Eddie and Chris' coronations in WM XX and everything I have ever watched from Rey Mysterio.
I fell out of love in WM 30 because I am an Undertaker fan and was done with the product when the streak ended, and only came back at this year WM 40.
I never fully went without knowing what was going on, so I knew some stuff about Rock, Cody and Roman, but what solidified my newfound love for WWE was Seth Rollins doing the heavylifting.
For me it was the pipe bomb. I came into wrestling as an 11 year old thinking it's gonna be a simple two people wrestling each other, then cm punk drops the pipe bomb, opening my mind to all the drama and politics involved in this and then boom i was hooked
Mick Foley and beyond the mat made me fall in love with Wrestling, followed by Mankind's main event push. I fell out of Wrestling with after the Benoit horror.
I fell back in love with Wrestling with the Sasha/Charlotte war. The athleticism blew away previous female feuds.
When I was about 8 years old I watched a vhs that my aunt had called “rock and roll wrestling.” That made me curious about wrestling. But what made me love wrestling was the lead up to wrestlemania 14. Austin vs Shawn michaels and the undertaker vs Kane. I’m only 37, so don’t think I’m old if you know that vhs
I didn’t get into wrestling until the Authority storyline and how amazing it was. John Cena, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were amazing around this time and I truely fell in love with the Edge segment. Another reason I love wrestling is because when I got into wrestling I was introduced to Jimmy and Jey USO. What got me into them two is just the fact that they are twins and me and my twin brother have the same name.
Forgot to mention Dolph freakin Ziggler
Mine was a random raw in 2004, a battle royal to determine who faced triple h later in the show for the whc. Benoit and Edge hit the floor at the same time, and they both got added to the world title match where benoit submitted edge as edge pinned him. I was HOOKED. It eventually led to the Elimination chamber for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship, my favorite match ever.
Great video. Day 76 of asking for comparisons of the current main roster to veterans/retired/HOF Wrestlers I.e. Dom and Eddie, Sami and Hulk
for me, i had dvd's of a shit ton of matches and old PLEs that i rewatched, every. single. night. there was a bunch of different things but there 4 things i remember specifically. One was CM Punk being champ and having Aj Lee with him, Two was Sin Cara in a handicap match, Three was a match with Bret Hart and someone else i cant exactly remember right now, and then the main one i remember was John Cena vs The Big Show in a steel cage match that had something to do with John Lauranitis. that is what really pushed me into wrestling
Similar to Santi, i started watching wrestling in 08 and the shawn/taker fued made me fall in love. but i fell out of love maybe around 2017 and recently fell back in love with it during the tribal chief era. i even ended up going to wrestlemania 40 night 1 and having the best day of my life
For me it was Survivor Series ‘14, I was a huge fan John Cena and I really didn’t want to see him go, when Dolph Ziggler was the only one left I had no hope. Until my guy pulled the greatest comeback in history. I would then forever be a Dolph Ziggler fan.
I'm 28 this year and back when I was 3 years old my father would tune in to smackdown and I will watch alone. Unfortunately my dad passed on the very next year and my family was against wrestling as they believe it was violence.. not suitable for me to watch. Until when I was 12 when I walk passed a DVD shop, I purchased WrestleMania 24 and my the first match that impress me was Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair in a career threatening match. It make me fall in love then and then it come John Cena after I fully understand his gimmick of never give up. It was because of John Cena , I adapt a never say die attitude and cement myself as a wrestling fan. Without buying the DVD , I probably would just heard of John Cena as the famous wrestle but I won't be here today as someone that refuse to give up.
My family like wrestling already when I was born in 97, used to watch wwf as a toddler even went to summerslam 2000 in person with my family as a just over 3 year old. Apparently my favorite wrestler at that age was Chris Jericho according to my mom but I don’t have super vivid memory of things when I was that young so I can’t pinpoint something that got me interested in wrestling, but I can remember vividly the storyline that got me hooked when I was 5 years old Kurt angle was doing the open challenges on smackdown and I enjoyed the angle segments on their own but little did I know one of those people who challenged him would go on to portray a white rapper character who I just loved being a young white kid who’s favorite music was rap music. John cena as the doctor and his us title run was what got me truly hooked on wwe and he stayed my favorite until I stopped watching wrestling in like 2008
My story is similar to yours. I don't remember why but my parents dropped me off at one of their friends house to watch me and they had a son that was watching WrestleMania X8. And I fell in love right after that. RAW aired to late so I never got to watch it, but SmackDown on Thursdays, I kept up religiously with. Angle, Edge, Benoit, etc. really got me into it. I fell away in 8th grade because it wasn't cool. Decided to watch again my senior year of high school which was 2011. in 2013 I fell away again because of college and jumped back into it in 2019 with Kofi mania.
That Cm Punk Vs Undertaker🔥🔥🔥
I stumbled on a random episode of TNA back in the day on my local channel RDS. I got to watch Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Abyss, Ric Flair and the Woo-off etc. Golden times for me! Everything started with TNA basically haha.
Mine was when Y2J threw HBK onto the Jeritron but I was watching WWE for a year by then
mine was honestly seth rollins’s and dean ambrose in 2015 when seth had the wwe title it was just so much fun watching during that time and also when i got into it
Shawn Michael, made me a fan of wwe, jeff hardy made me love the wwe, cm punk made me stay a fan of wwe, roman reigns made me never miss wwe
Missed the post on Twitter so will give my falling in love with wrestling, falling out of love of it and then falling in low with all over again.
I had just moved in to a new place in December 2004 so while doing my laundry sunday evening I channel surfed and stumbled over RAW followed by Smackdown shortly after Survivor Series. It became a part of my end of the week ritual but after a while I was so hooked I watched every episode and PPV the day after they were aired in a very legal way(;P).
At some point a few years later it was no longer what it was. I didn't take to CM Punk as you did and was already out when you fell back in love with wrestling. I might have caught a Royal Rumble since that was my favorite type of match for every year.
Then, last autum or late summer, I saw that a woman I follow on X had taken her daughter to Smackdown so she could see her favorite LA Knight after having had a rough time at school. LA Knight intrigued me and I watch a video about LA Knight and now I was almost hook. Then I saw he had a title match at Crown Jewel and I stumbled over your video where you pointed out that LA Knight kinda won because there was a three count. I had to watch the match and what happened next. Shortly afterwards I was hook and now I watch the PLEs very legally at least. Even watch NXT pretty frequently (Je'Von Evans will be the one to dethrone Oba Femi). So yeah, fallen in love again at it has been a sweet time so far.
I'm an old head who started watching when I was about 4 in the early 80's. It's hard to remember the territory days because I was so young. But even then, I was kind of a heel section fan. I remember Jake The Snake Roberts being one of the first people who really caught my attention. It was a very strange attraction, because his promo style would legitimately scare the 💩 out of me as a 4 year old boy!!! But there was also a big part of me who thought he was REALLY COOL!!!
Cm punk and randy orton is what kept me in the wwe but I started watching being of rated rko
I became a wrestling fan in 1999, it was Kane that got me hooked, I was so into it I started school wrestling (6th grade) in 2001 and would continue until I finished high school in 2008. I then found a local promotion started training there in 2009, had my first pro wrestling match within 4 months of training and have been killing it ever since.
For me, it was john cena United States open challenge matches
Following for a while. This was a particularly fun video for me. Keep making videos, I’ll keep watching them. Maybe take a day off now and then tho my man.
Fairly new to WWE and wrestling as a whole, but night two of WM39 got me hooked
I was introduced into pro wrestling by my uncles in 98. Stone Cold vs The Undertaker at SummerSlam. They were also the first wrestling figures I got
I was always ashamed to say my introduction to wrestling was through TNA. In the UK TNA was more easily accessible than RAW and Smackdown and I started watching TNA in 2006. And seeing guys like Joe, AJ, Daniels, MCMG, Angle, Sting tearing it up was so fascinating to me. Eventually when we could watch RAW and Smackdown I started watching that more and more and eventually I did stop watching TNA around 2012 because Hogan was unbearable but if it wasn’t for TNA I wouldn’t be a wrestling fan
Mine was back in 2009. A 5 year old me sat down during a random Friday night while my older brother was watching smackdown. So I started watching it on my own and little ole me fell in love with watching Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. My love for professional wrestling and WWE as a whole came from my older brother and it just stuck
For me it was John cena..... Surprisingly in Africa in the 2008,09,10,11....Jonh cena was more popular than the wwe 😂.......as Young kids we could say' we are going to watch john Cena ' even if John cena wasn't in the show 😂😂😂......Thank you cena for building our childhood
