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.

Showing my age here, but my earliest memory is of Undertaker's face turn involving Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He stopped Jake from hitting Macho Man and Elizabeth with a chair backstage. I don't quite remember much after that, but I ended up being a big Bret Hart fan when his singles run started. I actually remember cursing British Bulldog before SS at Wembley, thinking he had no chance of beating Bret.
