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 first recall watching broadcast shows, I believe the saturday night main event as a kid, in the early 80s, the introduction of Ultimate Warrior, the heel turn and redemption of Sgt. Slaughter during the first gulf war, and later the battles between WWF and WCW. Only ever got to a couple live shows but watched Undertaker along with Paul Bearer enter the arena... I haven't been heavily invested in recent years but have introduced my own kids to it still. Real life hero/villan stories to follow.
