    25, watching since early 90s, always feel a pang of shock and sadness when i hear that another one from the not so old days has passed away before their time :(

    32 last month. Started watching in late 80s and had far more interest in the IC title more than the WC. Bret, Mr. Perfect, Bulldog etc. My interest peaked around Summerslam 92 and then faded.

    8 years later, I finished University and was in Chicago working in a supermarket (J1) when all the other lads burst into the canteen at 8pm. On goes the wrestling and I'm introduced to my first ever Smackdown. HHH and Rock stole the show. Became instantly hooked again.

    Have wathced it on and off since 2005 and going to WM24 was probably my swansong. Will go to the Irish houseshows when I can, but never watch it on tv anymore.

    22 and like SR I have a shaven head. I thought I looked hard, but then a fellow boardsie smashed that image of myself when he told me I looked "adorable". Fecker.:mad::pac:

    I've been watching since the 1990's, and started to regularly watch at WM 12 and beyond.

    I'm 10 this month and I've been watching wrestling since 1985 and you should stop asking Stevie Wonder how old you look Shawn. Those guys with white canes and Labradors will saying anything for some change

    29 turning 30 this year, got rid of the sports package so mainly read up here for updates on whats going on. The first event I stayed up to watch live was when Owen Hart died :(
    Used to tape raw & go round to my mates n we'd all watch it on a VCR. For the kids around google VCR to see what it is ;) us older crowd should remember.
    Worst memory was my 21st birthday being put on a seemingly blank tape, turns out it was a wrestlemania, halfway thru main event on comes me drunk & dancing like a monkey on steroids, it was the era of rave :o

    Same as that 33 since april, been watchin wrestling since just before WCW got off the ground. been over to a few events in britain and did get over to WM 21 and 22 and summerslam in 2007.
    Hopin to get over to WM 26 this year, i suppose the main reason for that is that its quite close to vegas so its a good double up.

    Do you mean Lifestyle, when it went off the air and became Screensport? Where they showed the tail end of WCCW when it merged with Memphis and became USWA? I remember that alright. I also remember them showing GLOW womens wrestling too.
