With the other place going private, we're here! This is basically an introduction post to introduce ourselves.

My earliest wrestling memory is having a recorded VHS tape of Royal Rumble 1990. I consider being a fan since the mid 90s around 6 years old. I loved Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Diesel. Royal Rumble 1995 is my favorite Rumble. Just one foot. I felt sorry for the British Bulldog, though. I thought Mabel was a good wrestler. He won the King of the Ring! I mainly watched WWF Superstars weekend mornings and Coliseum Home Video. I was "banned" from watching wrestling during the Attitude Era lol. I started watching regularly again in 2002. The Ruthless Aggression era and TNA 04-09 is technically the era I grew up on. Today, I mainly watch AEW, but keep up with what goes on in the WWE. It's neat seeing all the young stars become experienced veterans.

I started watching in the mid 90s when I was around 5 years old. We'd always get everyone in the family together to watch it such as the grandkids, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I remember when Hogan joined the NWO and I cried.

For PPVs everyone would pitch in so we could afford it to watch it. When I got to high school I grew out of it. Then after college I made some new friends who happen to be wrestling fans and I got back into it. It was great after college as I'd watch it then call my grandfather to talk about it with him.
