This is perhaps my favourite question of the week, and one I have a very specific (and unusual) answer for.

I started watching wrestling in 2000, and although the period included some of the most legendary names in the history of the business - including The Rock, Triple H and Kurt Angle - my moment of "awakening" actually involved the tag team division.

On an innocuous episode of SmackDown, Commissioner Mick Foley decided to punish arrogant tag champs Edge and Christian by placing them in individual singles matches with Kane and Undertaker.

Watching the heels' desperate attempts to get out of the match, all the interference and shenanigans that subsequently occurred, as well as the wonderful performance of Foley, made me realise that pro wrestling is - first and foremost - about storytelling. I was hooked after that.
