Yeah I got the RAW 15th Anniversary DVD. When Vader kills Gorilla Monsoon they looked like they were in a bigger version of the Manhattan Center.

 

That venue was the Civic Center in Lowell, MA. It was also the arena where HBK did his "lost my smile" speech, The Rock beat HHH for his first I-C Title, and the one where HHH and HBK did the fake European Title match.

 

It was where Michaels lost his smile, but the Vader/Monsoon thing was in Stockton, CA, the night after Royal Rumble '96.

 

The Lowell Memorial Auditorium really was a great venue for TV. I wish that WWE would run some smaller places like this again but it'll of course never happen unless business REALLY goes in the tank.

I love these old Survivor Series intros. This one is from '90. The '89 one is in related.

Edit: Just realized that I meant to put this in the YouTube thread but I guess it kind of fits anyway.

That's a lot of fun to watch again. Survivor Series 1989 was the very first VHS tape I ever bought.
