What Got you into WRASLIN......

Pretty Simple what introduced you to the Wrestling game..............


I would have to say my dad and his side of the family(Huge Wrestling fans)

I watched Hogan as a kid and I grew to love wrestling more and more. When Austin came along, that was it for me. I have been a die hard WWE Mark since I watched Austin slap Vince in the balls.

Moved to Wrestling section.

What got me into Rasslin' was my ma and bro. They were fans until I got obsessed.

See, I have kind of a weird story. One day back in ninetyeight, My dad and I were watching a show on TNT and then after it got over, WCW Monday NItro came on. My dad didn't feel like changing the channel, we watched it. And thus, the diehard obbestion was born. (Funny thing is, I was talking about this with friends the other day.)

I don't seem to remember... I think it must have been my neighbours , who I'm very close to. They used to rent WWE DVDs mainly during the early DX period. I use to go over there and watch...hence the obsession began.

I can't even explain really how I got into it. As far as I can remember, every Sunday morning after church, my family and I went to my grandparents for lunch and my uncles were always watching wrestling so I sat with them and did the same. I can't put a finger on why exactly I got so hooked up. It basically became an habit. An habit that morphed into a major passion for me but an habit nonetheless.

My story is more awesome.

So Monday Night I was watching my Orlando Magic play on TNT, after a while the game ended and I decided to watch something called "Nitro", well during the first telecast they had a wrestler named Flying Brian Pillman. I don't remember who he faced but Lex Luger came out during the match. They mentioned Brian Pillman wrestling in a place called ECW, and I was so impressed with what he had done in the ring that night that I actually looked for ECW tapes at the local flea market.

Alas I found the ECW tapes, watched them for a bit, then eventually it go to the point where ECW was on TNN, after ECW went under I collected all the ECW DVDs I could, and the rest is history.

I remember watching Goldbergs entrance on WCW, watching wrestling with my dad. I think it was extremely sparse but I guess that's kind of been a motivation for me prior to getting into wrestling related stuff. Anyways, next I go to my cousin. I remember going up and playing Wrestlemania X8 agaisnt him. I, or him, was playing as Tajiri. At the point of playing the game, Kane and Triple H stood out to me. Kane, I get, Trips, I don't. I assume it was the whole, "The Game" thing. I also remember that he would hit wrestling moves on me. Good times. Later, I become friends with someone who was into wrestling, so there was another little step in this direction. The right direction, for the reason wrestling was one of the main reasons I'm still alive. Continuing on, all the previous information culminated while watching Deal or No Deal. Well, after. I was going to go upstairs, and dad was flicking through the channels. He came upon Smackdown, called me in to see if I was interested in watching it. I did, watched some match with Super Crazy and Psicosis. Henry's promo on Taker. Then something with Rey, Angle, and Orton. Wasn't actually that good, surpised I continued to watch. With that said, I continued to watch Smackdown, eventually I got the channel for Raw from my friend and watched that occassionally. Didn't get into Raw untill DX was formed. Then I'd watch ECW from time to time. I was hooked, and up untill a little bit after Wrestlemania 23, it was the best time in my life. I guess in essence, my passion for wrestling has pretty much died, or jumped the shark, so to speak. Considering it's gone downhills since those days. There are numerous reasons for why but I won't state them. Normally, I abbreviate that story, but I wanted to elaborate.

My obsession with wrestling is from a different perspective.

As a young boy I would go every Saturday to a local event just to watch my dad beat up some guy. This was 1994 to 1996 may I add. I was always in aura(SP?) of a atmosphere of 100 people at such a young age. But once my dad quit in ring action my interest slowed down. Only being 4 or so I pretty much skipped 97-99. Then around 2000 I can remember my Dad waking myself and my brother up at 5:30 AM and he would take us down to the AWF (Australasian Wrestling Federation) Dojo in Minto (10 minute Drive) every school morning. He would set everything up and then and hour or so later some guys would come in followed by men standing over me and my bro (Of course these were wrestlers). Then my dad would quickly take us to school and head back to the Dojo to help train some guys. On the occasional day I was given the day of to stay there for hours just watching them run ropes and take bumps. Just simple stuff. Every since then I have been an obsessed fan. Live it and I don't care what people think. Although at about 07-09 I kinda got bored with it apart from TNA due to foruming I suppose but have got back into it.

So yes, My love for the SPORT is different but still a great period of my life.

Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio. Greatest fucking tag team ever. It was a shame RVD got injured otherwise they would have held the titles longer. I didn't know Raw existed though but when I finally watched it I became addicted to Edge. It took awhile but wrestling finally grew on me...

So I guess RVD,Rey Mysterio(Who I can't stand anymore),and Edge.

My friend brought a load of PS1 games round my house for us to play. He forgot one of them: a WWF wrestling game. I was bored so thought I'd give it a try. I found it pretty cool so decided to try and watch it for real.

I'm gonna say my sister and the general violence of it

It was meant to happen ... Too bad your not into it anymore

My family watched wrestling all the time, so I've been watching it my entire life. Guys like Austin, Michaels, and Taker really drew me in. So yeah, I was a WWF kid.
