How it started

Hello,

I thought it was time I posted. I think in this first post I will tell you how my addiction to wrestling started. For as long as I can remember I have been a wrestling fan. Back when there was no WWE. I used to watch WCW and WWF with my dad. I lived for the nights that wrestling was on. Those were always my favorite days of the week, and now as an adult they still are. I can remember back to the days when The Macho Man and Hulk Hogan were the big stars. I would sit on the floor playing with my barbies as my dad and brothers would watch. As time went on I recognized the wrestlers, and their moves, and their entrance music.

Once I was in high school I was a full blown wrestling nut. Most of the other girls I knew had no idea about wrestling. Their binders were covered in pictures of the latest teen idol. I covered mine in pictures of Sting and Rey Mysterio Jr. I enjoyed talking about wrestling with anyone that enjoyed it as well. Over the years I've been laughed at for watching it, and been told that it's fake, that it's a storyline. I have even been told that it's a male soap opera, and to that I'd say...I'll take WWE over The Young and the Restless any day.

I can recall watching many nights of wrestling with my dad, and so many pay per views. It was always more fun to watch with him than it has ever been watching by myself. I still enjoy getting the chance to stop by his house and watch it with him.

There was a point in time, when I dreamt of being a WWE Diva..but that was nothing more than a pipe dream. I do think it'd be amazing to be involved in the business though. I will give major props to all wrestlers, it is a career, it is a sport, and you are all amazing for taking the time away for your families to entertain ours, and I thank each of you.

I would love to hear how each of you got started watching wrestling, and I would love to hear who your favorite wrestlers are.

I have many favorites. John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Batista, Rey Mysterio Jr as just a few of my favorites.
