You can see the quality of the cards started to pick up around 1987 in general, at least in terms of names on each show.

 

Hilarious to see Salvatore Bellomo doing double duty on that first card, unless that was a typo or something.

Patterson retired in 83/84ish I thought. Might have wrestled part time I have no idea.

 

 

I'd go to the Hampton Roads, VA show in '01. The undercard sounds bleh but I'd love to see the main event (Benoit and Jericho Vs Steve Austin and William Regal). Most of these card, IMO, are really underwhelming sounding on paper.

Semi off topic but I saw John Cena the night before he made his TV debut, teaming with former hot prospect, Steve Bradley against Lance Storm and Christian at a house show.

That '02 RAW show is mind-boggingly. They totally hot-shotted the end of the Flair/McMahon ownership feud in one night.

 

I think that was the night where they had to totally re-write the show because Austin stormed out and refused to job to somebody, I wanna say Lesnar. His reason being that it would be stupid to give that match away for free and/or with no build.

Yeah it was Lesnar. I rememebr that event vividly, because instead of the regular WWE LiveWire type program of RAW highlights that I used to watch they had an hour of interviews with McMahon, Ross and others talking about how unprofessional Austin had been.

WWF @ Pittsburgh, PA - Civic Arena - June 10, 1988 (4,734)

Bret Hart fought Bad News Brown to a time-limit draw at 16:16

:huh:

Time shaving. A lot of '20 minute draws' were really only fifteen minutes because they cut time.
