The night I became a Wrestling fan

It all started on a cool night back on January 18th, 2008. It was in the middle of the school holidays and it was my last year in primary. Like any other kid, I liked to stay up late and watch TV. This was also back when my family had Sky, I was surfing through the channels, bored out of my mind until I came across a channel known as The Box or as it's now known, Sky 5.

The channel included The Simpsons, CSI, Pawn Stars and in my case WWE Wrestling. From what I remember, every Friday night they would always air WWE Raw from 8:30 - 10:00 ( Back when they were only on for two hours)





Anyway, I came across Raw during its main even which featured Randy Orton facing Jeff Hardy. At the time I didn't think much about wrestling and thought It was a waste of time, but since nothing else good was on, I decided to watch it and I'm glad I did because I saw something truly amazing.

It was at the end of the main event where the match was taking place at the stage ramp for the wrestler's entrances. After placing Randy on a table near the ramp, Jeff Hardy climbed on top of the stage and used his signature Swanton Bomb to land on his opponent. The match ended in a no contest, but that moment where Jeff jumped off the stage and did what he did, I immediately become hooked as a fan.

At that time I never knew wrestlers would do that, which I thought was really cool. Next week I tuned in to see what happened to Jeff and Orton, plus watching other wrestling matches in between and just falling in love with the product. Although I don't watch it today, just keep up to date online.

 Nowadays I watch old WWE, WCW & ECW PPVs, shows and matches, back when wrestling was really good. But January 18th, 2008 was when I became a wrestling fan and I'm damn proud of it.
