Actually being 14 years old and seeing that on TV was jaw dropping. Wasn't old enough to drive yet, but old enough to know I needed my Dad to take me to live events anywhere near us.
Living in the NE (PA)I literally started on WWF in the early 80's and then I found World Wide Wrestling(NWA) on TV around 1985. I couldn't wait till the WWF show was over at 11 AM to watch World Wide Wrestling.
