The first time I saw wrestling I was about six or seven years old. Jake Roberts DDT'd the fuck out of a jobber on Superstars and I was mesmerized. My stepdad recorded the following PPV for me, Summerslam '91. Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect made me take notice and on and off, I watched whatever I could.

Losing Sky, I got to watch the ocassional PPV when my Dad got his friend to record it, but he thought wrestling was a bit gay... And still does. So that was rare.

I lost interest cos I couldn't get hold of anything and gave up. When I got back into it, it was due to a friend in college who got me reading PowerSlam. I had Sky again so started watching Smackdown cos that was all I got. And picking up PPV's every now and again. This was around the Invasion angle, which I loved and hated equally at the time.

I jumped in and out of WWE but when I finally really started watching, it was about 18-24 months until Eddie Guerrero died. Eddie was my favourite, and his death effected me so personally, that I stopped watching for several months. When I came back I was in for the long haul, and although Benoit's death effected me it didn't stop me watching.

I doubt anything will anymore.
