What Match Got You Into Wrestling?

[Rubberband Man]

Think the first main event that I saw which marked the beginning of me being a wrestling fan would be Triple H, Shane & Vince McMahon vs The Rock, The Undertaker & Kane from King of the Ring 2000.

mine was at the royal rumble 2007 i used to watch it when i was a kid but i forgot about it since it didnt air in my country anymore(SBS! SWEDISH BASTARDS!!!!!) but i remember the mcmahon challenges for HHH

The match that got me into wrestling is Shawn Micheals Vs. Vince Mcmahon at wrestlemania 22 in a No Holds Barred

I used to watch British World Of Sport Wrestling in the and loved 2 cold scorpio in early 90's wCw as a kid but wrestling became an addiction for me when I first watched a match on superstars about 16 years ago on WWF Superstars between the British Bulldog and Mr Perfect.

I had been watching wrestling for a few years before this point, but I don't remember any particular moment besides this that really got my attention, and that was the 1997 Badd Blood PPV, the Hell in a Cell...with Taker and HBK, and the debut of Kane. It's the first match that really got me into wrestling, and I am proud to say I haven't missed a Raw since... how sad.

It wasn't a match as such, but I had just got Sky at home and was flicking through the channels and came to one of those old WWF Superstars news segments, it was either Lord Alfred or Mean Gene reporting and showing footage of Randy Savage being bitten by Jake Roberts snake.

I was hooked on the story line and was waiting for those two to hook up during the Rumble 92 match. And it was pretty much the only reason I watched the following SNME to see the one on one match between the two.

I was born into a family of wrestling fans, so I've been a wrestling fan pretty much as long as I can remember. I have no idea what the first match I ever saw. But the match that really made me the wrestling fan that I am now is most likely the Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat match from 1989, which is available on the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection dvd. I always tell folks that it was that match that showed me what professional wrestling was supposed to be.

 

[RandyKO]

I can't remember what actual match got me into wrestling. My brother used to watch it all the time, I was like 6 and I think the first time I watched it was when Kane & X-Pac were partners and I had a thing for Kane for some reason, so yeah lol.

Rikishi v Val Venis in a cage match Fully Loaded 2000.
My friends were all really into wrestling and it was on Channel 4 one night (the PPV) i got the wrong time when i tried taping it so the first match i got was this IC Title match. It was amazing, Rikishi diving off the top of the cage at the end was immense.

It was actually an excellent PPV with The Rock v Benoit WWF Title, HHH v Y2J in a last man standing match and Undertaker v Kurt Angle. It's a PPV i've hardly heard of since the time, and i recently bought the Video off of ebay to see the matches i missed for £1.73 bargain, considering the new DVD's of mediocre PPV's are a lot more expensive

Halloween Havoc 1993. the whole event. somehow someway I convinced my grandmother to rent it fr me (I was all of 7 years old at the time) and loved it. The match I remeber most disticntley was the cage match between hulk Hogan and ric flair. after that I started getting every wrestleing video I could find anywere, all the WMs, all the survivor series, all the summerslams, the coliseum video presents videos, all of it. I was feindish. I watched WM 3, 4, 5, and 6 (the first videos I owned) over and over and over, so much that the tapes wore out. But yea, Hulkster and Ric in the cage I guess you could say was what technically got me. If someone can find that card and PM it to me id appreciate it, id like to try and remeber what captivated my 7 year old mind haha

 

[jaybizzle13]

Haha, apparently great minds are inspired alike... I think...

The match that cemented my love for wrestling was Hogan vs Flair at a house show in Pittsburgh, PA November 1st, 1991. My mom took me there for my 5th birthday and, even though I don't remember much of the match, I remember the atmosphere and everyone just getting so into this match and I loved that feeling. That was the moment I truly became a fan of wrestling, not to mention a "Hulkamaniac".

 

[DX_Guy]

i dont no what the match was but i was 3 or 4 and i was sitting on my dads lap and he was watchin fox sports and someone ran in the ring and gave one of the 2 wrestlers handcuffs and he handcuffed the other to the ringpost and hit him with a sledgehammer not the most 3 year old compatible but that was my first match i saw it hink undertaker was one of them. but i really got into it when i was about 10 then i drifted away cos when kane got unmasked and went crazy i didnt like that and about 2 years ago i got into it a little bit and i started watchin old wrestlign and i was watchin Bret hart vs HBK in the montreal screwjob and i originally like Hart but then i just loved Shawn's gimmick and everything and now he is and always will be my favorite wrestler. and now i watch it every week

 

[kieran_devlin]

For me it was the the Stone Cold vs Bret Hart Submission Match after i started watching wrestling, but really what started me watching it was Royal Rumble 2000 and some Vengeance hardcore title match Undertaker vs RVD.

The submission match left me in awe!

First TNA match and one to get me hooked was a table match LAX vs either Americas most wanted or Styles and Daniels on The Wrestling Channel on SKY, seriously got me liking LAX and both Storm and Harris even tho Harris is kinda boring when not actually wrestling in a ring and really i cant remember who it was most likely AJ + Daniels vs LAX they had a feud but think it was way before that.

First ROH match was a AJ Styles match were he did a top rope Styles Clash it left me in awe been his fan ever since!

 

[Iron Heart]

Mine had to have been Sting vs Hollywood Hogan at Superbrawl 1998, that's what really got me into wrestling.. since then it's just been wrestling 24/7.

 

[lionheart01]

Well i think i would credit two matches with getting me inot wrestling.

the first one was the Goldberg vs hollywood hulk hogan from nitro. This match got me to watch goldbergs matches but not much else, then around 2000 i stopped watching

Then in 2003, i saw the match that brought me back to wrestling for good. that match was the golberg vs rock match from backlash. That was just the ultimate match and is still my favorite match

there wasnt really a match that got me into tna, i just saw a commercial hyping the feud between aj styles and petey williams

 

[Deexter Jorgan]

My match was Hogan vs slaughter (WM 7), It was the best main event feud playing off of the whole irac angle, slaughter was the best in the business at the time as heels go, i was so immersed that i had to find out more about these guys and wrestling in general
