When I was 12 it was still way early in wrestling. I remember it was obviously filmed in a TV studio and Hulk Hogan was the big draw, along with guys like Baron von Raschke, Andre the Giant, and Jerry "The Crusher" Blackwell. It was smaller and had less fanfare in the late 70's and early 80's, but the theater was there. Every now and then they had specials on TV showing live matches in places like boxing venues, still much smaller than you see now. Wow has it ever grown.

Well, since wrestling fans are coming out of the closet, I will throw my hat in the ring too. I'm with Trout in that I watched it religiously back during the nWo days and still keep an eye on it today. It beats the hell out of Jersey Shore. My favorite was always Mankind/Cactus Jack/Dude Love/Mick Foley. The guy writes a hell of a book and made possibly the most entertaining tag-team of all time with the Rock and Sock Connection.
I was totally joking in my post though... HAHA, LOSER!!!

Loudest crowd I've ever heard live was Monday Nitro at the E-Center. Goldberg faced The Giant in a dark match after the show ended and the noise for Goldberg's entrance was louder than any Jazz playoff game I've been to, and that includes the Finals.

Remember the Rumble when he wrestled as all 3 characters. That was classic. "bang bang!"

I met George "The Animal" Steele's at a street fair in Menlo Park, NJ and managed to get his autograph on an 8x11 color photo of him chewing on a turnbuckle for 10 bucks.
I'll be 38 in June and that's the only autograph I've ever acquired in my life.

For sure...also, the infamous Hell in a Cell with the Undertaker. Gotta be an all-time great. I met him for all of five and a half seconds at a car show in SLC. The line was out the door to see him, but we waited behind a pillar and just kind of blended in towards the front. People were bringing him personalized cakes, full-size posters, I had him sign a photo that I had purchased. He made sure to have a small conversation with everyone in line. Seemed very down to earth. I can't believe he can still walk with all the legitimate injuries he's had.

Well played sir. However, I was going to go through you for my insurance. Now I won't out of spite...unless you'd care to settle this in a gentlemanly cage match at Wrestlemania.
I'd throw down the money to see that in a heartbeat.
Only if the cage is made out of razor sharp barbed wire and encased in flames.
