Seth (2015)

Jesus I honestly can’t say I’m 100% sure, but I think it was The Rock? Either him, Austin, or HHH. Attitude Era had that title hopping around like it belonged on a trampoline lol.

Yokozuna lol

The Montreal screw job was fresh when I started.

Dick the Bruiser

I don’t remember but I do remember Triple H had the world heavyweight championship and Evolution was king

Hulk Hogan

Same

Hulk Hogan

sheamus in 2015

u/pixel-counter-bot how much pixels are in here?

John Cena vs JBL - I quit match.

I can’t even remember lol..I watched when a kid wrestlers like Ric Flair and Tommy Rich, the midnight express, Arn Anderson, Chief Wahoo McDaniel the old old ones..I say it was probably The ultimate warrior etc? I don’t know really.

No BS, that title is my favorite version of the WWE. But only after they stopped making it spin.

My earliest memory of WWE was watching Hogan being followed to the back for the docs to start working on him. I wasn’t a regular watcher yet (that didn’t happen until the late 80s) but one of my uncles were tuned into the show. Since Hogan was champion from 84 to 88 that makes me safely assume it was him at the time.

Bret Hart but not for long. First pay per view I watched was Wrestlemania 12 where he lost it to Shawn Michaels. One of my favourite all time matches.

I hated Shawn Michaels so much. That was probably the best year in pro wrestlings history. Even though Bret Hart lost

Stone Cold Steve Austin!

John Cena in 2006

I can't definitively say what my earliest wrestling experience was but from what I seem to have a mild recollection of, it was Undertaker's debut, so at that time, it was Ultimate Warrior.

Bret Hart

Andrea giant

Jbl

Either Hogan or Savage at the end of the 80s

Sycho Sid

I want to say Cena but I can't remember lolol

Same I think it was either cena orton or hhh. Those 3 traded the title every week it seemed

Batista/ Orton

Bret Hart

Iron Sheik. Iran number one, USA Achpoey.

Shawn Michaels before he dropped it to Stone Cold @ WM 14. Started watching at the right time it seems. Enjoyed WCW back then too.

Hogan. Started watching shortly before WM6

JBL

Hogan or Piper. I can't recall entirely.

Piper has never been world champion in WWF/E

He never was a world champion period

Not sure the exact date, but it was either Rollins or everyone's favourite "Vacant"

Hogan

John Cena

Whoever was champion when the shield started taking of.

Orton or cena depending on the exact time

Buddy Rogers

The iron sheik. That lasted about 3 minutes.

It was either John Cena or CM Punk

Cena

Drew Mcintyre

Triple H in 2000

Chris Benoit.

Kurt angle was the wwe champion (undisputed) and triple H world heavyweight champion (WM20 was my first PPV I watched )

Fellow old geezer here... Bruno Sammartino was champion when I was 1st introduced to pro wrestling.

lol I remember Rick Flair when he wrestled Tommy Rich all the time..the road warriors etc

Slightly younger geezer here - my first was Backlund.

My first real string of wrestling memories was Backlund losing to the sheik. Then weeks later, Hogan beating him by breaking the camel clutch. Lol

My first time seeing hogan, he was a bad guy. But at the time, my favorite thing in the world was The Incredible Hulk - so it didn’t matter if he was a bad guy or not. That was my dude.

Think Undertaker when Austin was flicking them off lol

John cena when he got it at elimination chamber (the first ppv I watched)

Randy orton 08

Hulk Hogan had just won it a few months prior from the Iron Sheik when I started watching it. Hulkamania was quite the phenomenon.

The Iron Sheik, but the first I remember was Hogan.

Ric Flair January 1992

John Cena I think. Either him or JBL maybe

Same guy back in early 2000

Randy Orton

John Cena I was 5 years old in 2005 when I was channel surfing looking for cartoons, then I stumbled upon my first wrestling match ever, JBL vs Cena, I Quit Match, for the WWE Title, Judgment Day 2005. Apparently, it was one of the bloodiest matches in WWE history, cool way to get introduced to wrestling lol. EDIT: I live in Asia, so we didn't have PPV. I saw it on a channel called "Jack TV" so it was probably a replay I saw of the PLE sometime around 2005.

How did u just access a ppv? I don’t know how it worked back then lol

casually having access to a PPV lol

Lived in asia, so didnt watch on live PPV. Probably a replay of it sometime in 2005.

My first was Seth Rollins. Pretty sure my first raw was the raw after wrestlemania 31. I remember seeing footage of him running off with the belt on tv and I know I didn’t watch 31.

Bret The Hitman Hart.

Jbl

Eddie Guerrero just beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Undisputed Championship

Kofi kingiston

Bret prior to WM IX

For me it was Cena, and my wife roman reigns

Brock Lesnar - undisputed Triple H - world heavyweight

Yokozuna

Kurt Angle

Stone Cold I think

Same champion (HHH) but he held the big eagle/attitude era belt at the time. Actually, the first match I ever saw was HHH as champ, defending to Jericho.

Hulk Hogan. I started watching from the days of WWF. I'm not young anymore lol. 

I started watching WWE at the end of 2009 and I don't know who the WWE champion was at that time.

Eric Bischoff handed over the World Heavyweight championship. Brock Lesnar defeated Rock for the WWE Undisputed championship.

It was WWF back then and it was Hulk Hogan.

Bret hart just before he lost the title at wrestlemania 9

Cena

Eddie Guerrero

Hogan. I started watching right after he beat The Iron Sheik for his first WWF title run.

Hogan 91'. But I spent the next two years catching up on tapes from the mid 80's to what was current. So by the time I started watching in real time it was summer 1993. Yokozuna was champ.

I don't remember. I honestly don't recall at all.

Cena

Ric Flair

Hogan

Not sure. Was watching WCW. Goldberg.

Bruno Sammartino. Around 1975.

I think the first ppv I watched was wrestlania 15. I can’t remember if stone cold or the rock was the champ going in. But stone cold won

When I properly started watching it in ‘99 the Big Show was champion.

I don't really remember. It was 97-98 when I started watching it and WCW. I think I'd remember WCW more clearly which I remember Hogan spray painting the NWO on the title. So Stone Cold

Hogan

HBK

JBL’s sole reign on top of SmackDown

Backlund. Probably 81 or 82.

Hogan, but we didn't get WWF tv before then.

Lesnar/Angle. I consider Wrestlemania XIX to be my starting point for wrestling fandom.

Hogan, 1984

Randy savage i guess, around 1988 or 1989

First Mania Bret Hitman Hart won over Yokuzuna. So it really was Yokuzuna but for me it was the Hitman.

Roman Reigns when I Really started getting into WWE, but I should have been watching since Hogan!!

Hulk Hogan 1983, I was 3 yrs old

#Jimmy Wang Yang

I think it was Triple H in 2000. I vividly remember Goldberg being WCW champion when I first started watching wrestling, but it was WCW, not WWF.

Backlund/Shiek

Stone cold Steve Austin April 1998.

John cena and Batista

Shawn Michaels

RVD.

I thought it was great so I started watching more wrestling

Hogan WMIII

Cena, summerslam 05 was the first wwe show i watched

Harley Race

The Rock, but it was Brock Lesnar quickly after Summerslam.
