Guest candie45 Report post Posted March 19, 2003 My first event was so fun. I finally got my dad to say yes to go to an event, and it was Smackdown in November of 99. I just turned 13 I believe. I remember most vividly people behind us constantly saying "drop the chalupa!" and "Albert- buy a razor!" (my my how things change :|) Anyway, the matches I remember were like Shane/Test vs DX, and at the end of that match Vince had everyone run out and attack them because he had a restraining order or something. So they start throwing food everywhere. (It was the Thanksgiving episode) Crazy stuff. I also remember the tag title match with the Hardys vs. NAO in a cage. There was also a WWF title match between Big Show and Chris Jericho, and Rock & Sock connection fought too with Rock doing a "pie" promo. They also made fun of all the homeless people... makes me proud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest snuffbox Report post Posted March 19, 2003 I must add that the first truly great show I saw live was a WCW house show in Oct 96. When the NWO was red hot. Hall/Nash beat the Faces of Fear in a decent match and they actually worked! Arn Anderson/Chris Benoit beat the Nasty Boys Eddie Guerrero beat DDP in the best match I ever saw live And a main event world title match of Giant vs Sting vs Randy Savage This would be the best show Id see until ECW house in early 2000.

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2003 First show I saw live was form 1996(???) in the Corel Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. Here it is from Caw's site: WWF @ Ottawa, Ontario - Corel Centre - August 4, 1996 Carl LeDuc pinned Justin Bradshaw with a roll up WWF Tag Team Champions the Smoking Gunns defeated Henry & Phinneas Godwinn, the Body Donnas, and the New Rockers in an elimination match after the Godwinns were counted-out; earlier eliminations saw the Godwinns defeat the New Rockers and Body Donnas Marc Mero pinned Hunter Hearst Helmsley by blocking a sunset flip Yokozuna (sub. for Ahmed Johnson) pinned Goldust with a legdrop Owen Hart pinned Aldo Montoya with the Inziguri Steve Austin pinned Savio Vega in a No DQ match after a low blow Psycho Sid (sub. for the Ultimate Warrior) defeated the British Bulldog WWF World Champion Shawn Michaels pinned Vader with the superkick The Undertaker pinned Mankind with the tombstone More interestingly I had the chance to see Bret Hart vs Ric Flair in 1992 but didn't go. And I have never seen either live. My second show was the night after Montreal so I just missed Bret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Valcourt Report post Posted March 19, 2003 My fisrt live event I barely recall because I was younger, but the most recent is surely not one I will forget. It was a Smackdown during the Rock's fued with Shane or something. I don't know all the angles that happened. But I loved it because I finally saw Benoit, Jericho and the Dudleys live. But the real reason I won't ever forget it is because I got kicked out of the event at the last second. Rock was about to Rockbottom Shane through the announce table and I wanted a shot of it, so I ran up the aisle (i was row 5 behind the announcers) and tried to get a shot. The secuirty guy pushed me back, but I ignored him and shot my pic (it didn't even come out). I went for another one, but he grabed my shirt, so I swiped his arm away. This made him mad, me madder and I said (in all my 17 yeard old glory at the time) "Don't touch me you fucking bitch." And off I went, thrown out of the arena. The best is as I got out the doors, the guy actually PUSHED me from behind. Then some lady handed me a bag of Corn Nuts and I waited for my friends.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted March 20, 2003 This is easy: just last week's Smackdown! Basically everything you saw on TV as well as Velocity, with a few cool dark matches like Kanyon w/ Gayda vs. Shark Boy. I actually posted a non-spoiler thing about it the night I came home from the tapings, so if you read it I have nothing else to really say about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2003 June 17, 2002 RAW in San Jose, CA-Yes, the week after Steve Austin walked out. Also, the first round of the KOR tourney started up, with X-Pac and RVD having a GREAT MATCH to get the crowd going. I remember my camera fucking up on me...also included was a Brock/Booker T main event, where Brock advanced. Vince McMahon came out, had a beer, and then left it in the middle of the ring for Stone Cold's rememberance. Benoit and Guerrero whooped Ric Flair's ass. In a dark match, I saw Prototype (John Cena) vs. Shelton Benjamin. I think Benjamin won with a roll up. I remember Benjamin hitting a SWANK reverse spinebuster on Prototype that popped the hell outta me. Also, the nWo went wild when Nash, Big Show, and Shawn whooped somebody's ass, I forgot who...oh well. I remember it being a great event and such, but I was too far away and my camera fucked up for me to have a good rememberance of the event. After the show, Rocky and Brock fought a little bit, because Rocky was the surprise that showed up since Austin walked out. This show made me realize that they were truly serious about turning Brock into a big star, and that he was getting the belt down the line, because there is no way the match between the two was gonna be anything more than a title match.

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted March 20, 2003 I think Im in the lead in top 10 of the Older fans here in the smark Community.... My first Live event was going to the Capital Center in Landover Maryland..... was Hot summer day stuck on 95 to get there....summer of 1986..... I know because The Main event was the Cage match of Hulk Hogan vs Paul Orindorf, and they were basically replaying the Big Event Finish. Then a Year later.... I Went out to Baltimore and stayed at the Marriott an watched two Nights of NWA wrestling....... at a little event called... the Jim Crockett CUP tournament! 1987!!! I met Animal, One of the Armstrongs, Rick Rude, and Lex Luger (Lex Luger is a prick) few years later...Sigh I Met Big John studd who had lived his final years In my Home town.... Met him at the resturant about 1/4 mile from my house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest papacita Report post Posted March 20, 2003 I vaguely remember the card, but it was a May 92 house show at the Spectrum. The matches were (from what I can remember): I happen to have the full card if you were interested, via PWI. WWF @ Philadelphia, PA - Spectrum - May 2, 1992 Crush pinned Kato The Nasty Boys defeated Owen Hart & Jim Powers Jim Duggan defeated Repo Man via disqualification The Ultimate Warrior defeated Papa Shango WWF IC Champion Bret Hart defeated Shawn Michaels Rick Martel pinned El Matador The Legion of Doom defeated the Beverly Brothers Thanks, man.

Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted March 20, 2003 My first show was... Niagara Falls Convention & Civic Center Niagara Falls, New York - November 18, 1993 Notes: Sound system - sucked balls like always at this venue, but instead of being too loud like in following years, you could barely hear the damn music. It sounded like someone had a Sony Boombox in the corner of the arena. Seats - floor about 15 rows back, and I was 8 years old at the time, so I couldn't see much of shit until the cage match Scratches - original show was slated to be Bret vs. Lawler in a cage, Steiners vs. Quebecers for the tag-titles, Doink vs. Bam-Bam The 1-2-3 Kid defeated Johnny Polo The Headshrinkers defeated SMW Tag Team Champions the Rock 'n' Roll Express in a non-title match Owen Hart defeated Adam Bomb Lex Luger defeated Ludvig Borga *intermission* Rick Steiner defeated WWF Tag Team Champion Jacques Rougeau Doink the Clown defeated Iron Mike Sharpe Bret Hart defeated Shawn Michaels in a steel cage match (AWESOME match - my dad and I were convinced that Shawn lost teeth, but it was just Shawn's wacky spit-selling) Overall, shitty first expirience, but was made up when they came back in 1994 for the Wrestlemania Revenge tour with ~PYROS!, Bret-Owen, and Shawn Michaels vs. Aldo Montoya which had Shawn MONSTER over as a face The Niagara Falls Convention & Civic Center is now a casino, if anyone cares Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DerangedHermit Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Only last year... WWE @ New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden - August 26, 2002 Shelton Benjamin pinned Shawn Stasiak with a spin kick to the face - I marked for Shelton there. Sunday Night Heat: Goldust pinned Johnny Stamboli with the Curtain Call - This was funny because they mixed his Titantron with Bull Buchanan's. Steven Richards pinned Crash Holly with the Stevie Kick - I hardly remember this. Bradshaw pinned Justin Credible with the Clothesline from Hell - Same as above. Raw: Booker T (w/ Goldust) pinned WWE Tag Team Champion Christian (w/ Lance Storm) with the scissors kick after Goldust sent an interfering Storm out of the ring - Wasn't too bad. Bubba Ray & Spike Dudley defeated William Regal & Christopher Nowinski (w/ Molly Holly) when Bubba pinned Regal with the Bubba Bomb; after the match, Nowinski saved Molly from going through a table but Regal sustained a Dudley Dogg onto and then a Bubba Ray powerbomb through the wooden table - Meh. Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Jericho via disqualification when Jericho failed to release the Walls of Jericho after Hardy reached the ropes; after the match, several referees forced Jericho to break the hold - Jericho was gold. Him singing "NY, NY" fully, even though it was cut to commercial on TV. Massive "STFU" chants. WWE IC Champion Rob Van Dam pinned WWE Hardcore Champion Tommy Dreamer with the five star frog splash following a modified Van Terminator as Dreamer was tied up in the Tree of Woe, with his legs trapped in a ladder, to unify both title belts; the match was fought under hardcore rules; after the match, the two embraced out of respect - Awesome match. Lillian Garcia (w/ Trish Stratus) defeated Howard Finkel in an Evening Gown vs. Tuxedo match, after both Trish and Stacy Keibler helped in attacking and stripping Finkel; due to prematch stipulations, Lillian became the permanent ring announcer for Raw - Sucked. Sucked bad. Triple H pinned the Undertaker after Brock Lesnar interfered and hit Taker in the face with the world title belt; due to prematch stipulations, Triple H became the #1 contender to the world title - This was bull crap. Brock went to SD after the match and the week after HHH was awarded the Big Worthless Gold Belt. Credit to cawthon777.

A fellow northern Virginian; nice to see. I'm from Woodbridge and have spent a lot of time around that general area. Currently going to college right outside Roanoke. I came across a bootleg copy of the 2nd day of Crockett Cup a few years back - complete with a lot of unaired backstage footage from the George Michael Sports Machine. Classic show.

Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Hacksaw Jim Duggan Vs Repo Man: I don't even remember who won this one. All I can remember is Hacksaw knocking Repo to the floor and him hiding beside the ring apron to ambush Hacksaw...and he said "SHHH!" to the crowd...used the finger and everything. It's that kinda fan interaction that's sorely missing from wrestling these days. When Repo Man is out there you just gotta quiet the place down, I mean, the Repomaniacs could blow the roof off.

Guest RepoMan Report post Posted March 20, 2003 December '93 Rochester War Memorial I went along for my little bro's birthday with a bunch of his friends. I got a program, and Dean Douglus explained how to grade the matches. Every got pissed off when the Anlandra Blayze/ Bullinakota (sp?) that was heavily promoted didn't happen. I got mad heat for cheering for Adam Bomb. The highlight came when Bob Backland yelled at use to sit down when giving a promo before being squashed by Deisel.

The lineup was (that I can remember): Yokozuna Vs Earthquake Adam Bomb Vs Kwang (They fucked up the finish and had to do the same exact match again immediately after. I was a rather confused mark) All the KOR qualifyers for 94 (the only one I can remember is Jarrett Vs Luger. My mom cried when Luger came out (she was a huge mark for Lex Luger)) Diesel Vs Razor for the IC title Dibiase buying Nikolai Volkoff (my sis got like 5 seconds of screen time during this interview. She wanted to take a picture, but couldn't see shit, so was disappointed. On TV, it seemed like she gave a shit about Nikolai) Main Event: Bret Hart Vs Owen Hart I feel your pain Goblin, I had the chance to go see RR92, but passed it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
