#001 How it all started

I can remember quite vividly. I was channel surfing bored trying to find something to watch, skipping all the boring shows and the ones i have seen over and over again when i stopped on Monday Night Raw. I have never seen wrestling or even heard about it yet in my young mind but something just struck me by surprised. It was a scene where a young Stephanie McMahon was trying to defend her love of the then Bodyguard Test [played by the late Andrew martin]. The scene was so intense because at one point one of the guys, I believe the British bulldog, Threw a trashcan that was intended for Test, but ends up hitting Stephanie instead. Which caused her to get a concussion and amnesia. At this point I didn't know of wrestling matches, Psychology, or even the fact it was real or fake. All I saw was a story that gripped my young eyes and heart and would not let go. Looking back at it, it was quite silly like a soap opera, but this soap opera was my discovery. It was the gateway drugs to Japanese wrestling, Lucha Libre, and excellent Indy wrestling. And I never looked back.
