WRESTLEMANIA 2 was the first wrestling tape I ever saw in the video store. I was probably 9 by the time it came out. The big red 2 on the cover told me that this was a sequel of some sort, but I dont think I had any knowledge of WM1 yet. I think it only caught my attention because it also had Mr. T on the cover. NO ONE ANYWHERE was cooler to me at the time than Mr. T.
This was also the first wrestling I ever saw. My buddy's older brother watched it with his friends. The only thing about it that I can remember is that I cried when I saw Hulk Hogan bleeding.
My dad and I saw WM2 LIVE via Closed Circuit Television at the Anaheim Convention Center. The sound was TERRIBLE - you couldn't make out any of the commentary - but the screens were great.
Closed Circuit Television -> Network carrying all content and live streams.
WM 2 was my only live WM - which I was at the one in Rosemont where I saw the Bears in the Battle Royal and the bulldogs against the dream team. (and a couple other matches) Everything else was on closed circuit. That was also my last wrestlemania live. I saw 1 and 2 and that was it.
I could watch this again right now.
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.

By the time WM 4 rolled around, I was familiar with who the top people in WWF were but I wasnt watching regularly yet. My dad was, but watching the wrestlers hurt each other genuinely made me physically uncomfortable to watch.
Anywho, the day after WM4 (I was 10 and a half), all the kids at school were talking about how Hulk Hogan actually CHEATED to help Macho Man win and I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EARS.
Hulk Hogan? Cheated?? NO. WAY.
So the following weekend, I HAD to watch to see if it really happened. It was an episode of Wrestling Challenge or something and they showed a WM4 clip of Hogan cheating (!) to help Randy Savage win the title and I've been hooked ever since.
They look like two of the scientist dudes in the background listening to Dennis Quaid tell how the North Atlantic current has changed in "The Day After Tomorrow", and they're thinking, "Whaaaaaaaaaa?"

I get more of a disgruntled reality show judge vibe. Someone is auditioning and it's not going well. In fact, it's going so poorly that No-Glasses is in actual physical discomfort, while Glasses has just completely mentally checked out. He's somewhere else right now. Somewhere quieter. Somewhere better.
