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 don't honestly remember when I started watching, but my father was always a big wrestling fan so I ended up just watching with him when I was a kid. I do remember a good amount of the Attitude Era and I was probably like 6-7 when it first started.

I mostly stuck to WWE for years, falling out of it a bit around say 2009 or so, but since Punk's rise in 2012 I've been back. And since 2017 I started watching NJPW, and AEW when it started, and now I got a ton to watch all the time, with a sprinkling of some indies here and there.
