I was there when Low Ki legitimately knocked out Dan Maff at Ring of Honor.

 

I was there when my dad beat up two drunk guys at a Providence College basketball game because one spilled their beer on me (I was 9).

Nothing ever happens in Springfield. I've been to WWE house shows, a couple WCW TV tapings, and some concerts. I've gone to St. Louis for concerts and Cards games too, but nothing of significance.

 

The ONLY cool "event" I have been at was the May 9th, 2000, WCW Thunder taping where Buff Bagwell got arrested. he was standing outside in his gear and myself and a friend asked for his autograph. He replied, "Ah, not right now, guys," and seconds later the cops came in, screaming at everyone to get back, and they cuffed "The Stuff".

ECW's first fire table (Buh Buh & Balls)

Not to nitpick, but I remember Public Enemy using flaming tables back in 95.

I think they might have stacked two tables and lit the bottom one. I'm pretty sure that's how it went. I mean a full on fire table

I think (not sure) they used a full one when Rocco Rock fought 2 Cold Scorpio in a TV Title Vs Tag Title match (the one that set up the Sandman/Scorpio Vs Public Enemy match for N2R 95). If I remember right, Rocco set the table up and tried to give Scorpio the Drive-By through it, but Scorp moved, Rocco went through the table and apparently caught on fire. Scorpio then put the fire out, helped Rocco to his feet, then clotheslined him to take the belts for he and Sandman.

 

Eh...it really doesn't matter though. I think the Dudleys' table spots were more spectacular anyway.

The Blackout of 2003

The Blizzard of 96

Cal Ripken's 2130th and 2131st consecutive games

The 1993 MLB All-Star game

Several baseball and hockey playoff games

Kurt Angle's house show debut

 

And while I wasn't at either location hit on September 11th, I was at a large (and potentially quite targetable) Army installation, where unease at the day's events was running quite high.

I was there when EKU's basketball team got into a ten minute fight with the other team and the game ended with a 4 on 3 showdown.

 

I was in the House of Reps when Tony Blair apologized for burning down DC this past summer.

 

That's pretty much it.

- The return of the nWo in 2002 (less so, but still cool)

- Game 4 of the 2003 Twins/A's ALDS (not such a big deal, but cool)
