No show is specifically listed as being on my birthday (10/11/1979), but this one seems to be the closest as far as I can tell:

 

WWF @ ? - October 1979

Championship Wrestling:

Larry Zbyszko defeated Johnny Rodz at 5:36

Bobby Duncum defeated Fred Marzino at 3:45

Swede Hansen defeated Dominic DeNucci via count-out at 6:49

Bobby Duncum defeated Ron Lee at 1:12

The Wild Samoans defeated Billy Berger & Johnny Rivera at 4:39

WOW, what a shitty card. When Jimmy fucking Valiant is in what looks like the best match of the night, that's a bad bad sign. I guess it was a TV taping, no other reason why all the matches would be that short.

[cawthon777 0]

It was a taping. About 95% sure it was in Allentown, PA.

As I share a bday with Jingus, I get that too. Damn.

It's worth noting that my birthday (June 27) has seen a couple PPVs over the last 6 years. One, in 1999, is most remembered for a raised briefcase, and the other, 2004, is the day Bradshaw became champ. Sigh.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

WWWF @ Long Island, NY - Nassau Coliseum - May 23, 1977

I don't know much about Billy White Wolf, but that doesn't look too thrilling. And the undercard was so good it doesn't even rate a mention!

 

 

My b'day will (more importantly) be forever linked to death of Owen Hart in 1999, which devestated me when I read about the next day.
