I grew up on wrestling. Some families like NASCAR. My family likes wrestling. I remember when my brother invited his friend to watch WrestleMania 23 at our house. That was the first WrestleMania that my siblings and I got to watch...
My parents weren't into wrestling, but all of our friends were. The 80s and early 90s were a great time to be a kid who liked wrestling. The Attitude era tried to make everything a lot more adult oriented.
My dad was into football, but we never really were. My uncle got him into NASCAR much later.
The first WrestleMania we rented was probably the very first one, and I think the last one we watched was XIII.
There was a game for the NES called Pro Wrestling that was really great, we always laughed ourselves silly over it. It's a little primitive today, but I still love it. We also played the Acclaim games for SNES (like RAW), but the gameplay is mostly "see who can press the button the fastest". And of course, the Asmik/AKI wrestling games for N64 were the best ever.
I don't know if you like anime, but there's one from the 80s that's all superhero wrestlers, called Kinnikuman. We had all the MUSCLE figures when we were kids, but the anime itself has never been localized. I have a bunch of fan subs of it, and it's pretty fantastic.
