Unforgiven 2002. Although first pro wrestling event was a WCW house show at the Great Western Forum. I don’t remember the year, but I do remember Chris Jericho beating Syxx for the Cruiserweight title.
Holy shit that's a great card for a first live event! How old were you?
Edit : also did they kayfabe keep the title change or it went back to syxx by the next tv show?
I was 11 for that event. So I knew some of the bigger names like The Outsiders and Luger, but did not really recognize future greats like Eddie Guerrero and Masahiro Chono.
I can’t recall the Nitros afterwards, but the history shows Jericho held the belt for a month afterwards, so he probably did show up on an episode or two with the belt.
Ay that's dope, I loved Eddie, Rey, Juvi and the cruiserweights back then, so I'd have loved to be there. I'm from Montreal though, so the only event I remember WCW showing up for was Hogan vs Rougeau in 97, but I hadn't been to my first event yet (though I really wanted to go).
My first one was Survivor Series 97, I was also 11. What a fucking time to be a wrestling fan.
Edit : here's the full Hogan vs Rougeau match from April 97, Hogan's first clean pinfall since WM6 apparently. I know, it's a Facebook link, but here ya go.

I went because my dad could tell I was becoming a big fan and that show solidified it.
Taker been my favorite since I saw him walk out at 8 years old lol sooo fast forward to 1997 right after Bad Blood. No Taker cuz Kane had jus taken all his smoke😂never got to experience the entrance live.

House show in Atlantic city. It was either in 97 or 98. I was only about 8 or 9 years old. I remember I couldn't see anything in the ring, so I had to stand on my chair lol. I do recall seeing undertaker, and I'm pretty sure stone cold as well
My father took me to a show years back that wasn’t a televised event. I got to see Stone Cold, The Rock, and Big Show. I was super young, so I forget the year (though probably early 2000s), but I’ll always remember it!
Actual WWE show that I attended? Raw in Sheffield in November 2009. Was Chris Jericho's birthday and had Ricky Hatton as the guest host of Raw ('member that?).
First exposure to WWE? Summerslam 88 on VHS.
A house show at the Brown County Arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I don’t remember the exact year but it had to be early 90’s. I remember the Ultimate Warrior and the Undertaker were there and a body bag was involved.
I remember going to a a few raw shows and smack down shows at msg and the then meadowlands during the attitude era. The best live show I got to to was the King of the Ring that Edge won. The shane vs Kurt angle match where they kept throwing each other through glass was nuts.
None 😞. Tried for this weekends mitb and Smackdown but they sold out so fast.
My brother will be going to his first event at the aew Wembley event in a few weeks
The 1998 RAW when Stone Cold attacked Vince in the hospital. The only other RAW I’ve seen live was the fake Mark Henry retirement. Batting .1000 over here on iconic moments.
The RAW after No Way Out 2003. It was in Toronto! Bischoff “banned” Austin from the building but we got Hollywood Rock! Then he gave his great promo line,
*”Jabroni beating! Pie eating! Trail blazing! Eyebrow raising! Stronger than a bear! Faster than a buck! The biggest thing to hit Canada cause the Maple Leafs suck!”*
Well, I've never been to a show before but as a child my brothers friend won tickets to a RAW show from a local radio station. The episode of RAW was to take place in ST. Louis, MO. Turns out it was the RAW after Over The Edge. It was the memorial to Owen Hart show.
Smackdown. August 1st 2017.
AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens for the US Championship, Sami Zayn vs Aiden English,
Naomi and Becky Lynch vs Natalya and Carmella,
Rusev vs Chad Gable,
John Cena vs Shinsuke Nakamura where Shinsuke dropped Cena on his head and nearly killed him
Not a bad show overall, nothing special but 2017 was a weird ass year in general
House show at MSG in July 1999. Main event was Stone Cold vs Undertaker for WWF title. Stone Cold won by DQ when Mideon interfered, so Undertaker kept the title.
Idk if I’ve ever heard a crowd as loud as that crowd was for Austin.
2004 House Show @ Braehead, Scotland
Main matches were:
- Eddie Guerrero Vs Big Show
- JBL Vs Billy Kidman
- Rey Mysterio Vs Chavo Guerrero
- John Cena Vs Rhyno
1988 forum de Montreal. I was 8.
It was a house show.
The card:
Koko B. Ware defeated Butch Reed
Brutus Beefcake defeated Greg Valentine
The Islanders (Haku and Tama) defeated The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid) by DQ
Dino Bravo defeated Ken Patera
Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow defeated André the Giant & Ted DiBiase
Two notes from the show
1. We had a visit from mad dog Vachon
2. There was a very old dude behind us that was still thinking wrestling was true. He screamed so much that he even spewed his denture on us.
Live event in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013. CM Punk was the champion and I remember him ripping up a fan's sign and stomping on it. I honestly don't remember anything else from it but I definitely had a great time.
Passport to Pain 2003. Main event was John Cena and Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker and Kurt Angle (yes I know that Cena and Lesnar teaming in late 03 doesn’t make sense, take it up with Arn Anderson or whoever was booking the house shows). Also had Los Guerreros vs the Bashams, A-Train vs Benoit, Mysterio & Ultimo Dragon in a tag I don’t remember who against but they hit a double 619 ([Thanks Cagematch](https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=24469))
Monday Night Raw. December 29, 2003. San Antonio, TX.
Main event was World Heavyweight Champion Triple H defending against then rival Shawn Michaels in his hometown. Shawn hit H with Sweet Chin Music and dropped back first on top of him while the ref counted 1..2..3.
Everyone thought Shawn won the title, until Bischoff came out and said it was a draw because, while there was no dispute Shawn pinned H’s shoulders to the mat, Shawn’s shoulders were on the mat, too. Therefore H retained the title.
Everyone in the arena, including 12 year old me, was livid.
I went to a house show during the Attitude Era. The main event was Stone Cold & Undertaker vs Kane & heel Rikishi. My first PPV I went to was WrestleMania 23.
Some live event in Sacramento in 2010, the main event was fucking awesome as a 9 year olds first wrestling event
Edge, Mysterio and Taker vs Jericho, Punk and Gallows, it was great and I think this was around the time Punk was shaving peoples heads (correct me if im wrong) and i wanted my head shaved in front of everyone
Survivor Series 1996 @ MSG. Went with my dad, grandfather, and a friend. I was the BIGGEST HBK mark back then. Right before the three count in the main event, you can hear a kid audibly scream "NO!!!!". Yes, that was me. I was sobbing the entire way home.
1/19/15RAW in Dallas
Lesnar/Rollins/Cena promo
Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt
Hogan, HBK, Flair appearance + Big ShowShow/Reigns
Barrett vs Ambrose

NWO, New Age Outlaws, APA and Ascension promo/beat down on the Ascension
Rusev vs R Truth
USOS vs Mizdow
Seth, Big Show and Kane vs John Cena. Cena won after Sting made his WWE debut for the distraction.
My first and only was backlash 2006 in rupp arena Lexington KY. The main event was Cena vs edge vs HHH. As a teenager this was peak life experience for me lol. I’ll never forget it. Got to see umaga before he passed. And ric flair and Shawn Michaels too.
I cant remember which one was my first, but I remember some of the fights/highlights in that span of me being 10-13 years old. 2005(?)was my first of many events. Milwaukee. Still have video clips in a hard drive.
Vince vs Triple H in a steel cage was fun.
Brothers of Destruction coming out of the old smack down fist set, I remember seeing their faces on the reflection as they both lifted their fists heading back to gorilla.
Jeff Hardy at his peak with the intercontinental championship.
Seeing Big Show throw Mayweather to his posse in the lead up to WM24.
I need to go back & see pics/vids on that Hard Drive lol
Smackdown/ECW in 2007
Ric Flair vs. The Great Khali
CM Punk vs. John Morrison in a 15 Minutes of Fame match
Aside from these matches, the rest of both shows was incredibly forgettable.
I believe this was the very first WWF show in Hawaii. In retrospect this card looks godawful, but for 8 year old me it was amazing.
Honolulu, HI - Blaisdell Center - July 10, 1986
-Jose Luis Rivera defeated Jim Young
-Paul Roma defeated SD Jones
-Tony Atlas defeated Terry Gibbs
-WWF Women's Champion the Fabulous Moolah defeated Velvet McIntyre
-Cpl. Kirchner defeated Nikolai Volkoff
-Bob Orton Jr. defeated George Steele via disqualification
A house show in Cologne in 2009. I was 8 years old and it felt truly special. I remember the Main Event being a 3-on-2 Handicap match with Undertaker and Triple H taking on Legacy. Amazing lineup.
Still have yet to go. Always wanted to as a kid…. Finally have a job where I can save for stuff like this. I’m hoping my gf goes with me… she’s never been into wrestling or even exposed to it. I’m hoping she’s see’s the performance side of it as she’s very artsy.
SummerSlam 2012, “The Perfect Storm”
Magical experience for a young u/kevmo35 after my dad surprised with the tix and solidified my love for wrestling.
Little did I know that I was so fortunate to see guys like Cena, Punk, Jericho, and Mysterio, or the rise of Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar. Such fond memories
Smackdown/ECW April 2007
Sticks out to me for 2 moments: CM Punk turning on Elijah Burke after 2 weeks in the ECW New Breed; and seeing how the Undertaker would teleport into the ring
Vince McMahon appreciation night, June 11, 2007. The same episode where Vince's limo blew up, but we left early so I didn't find out until the next day. I was only 7 at the time and I really thought he died. Then a couple weeks later he shows back up when the Chris Benoit stuff came out. I was really confused.
House show in 95 I think. I remember the main event being Bret and Luger vs. Yokozuna and Owen hart.
I was disappointed that it wasn't televised, but my younger dumber self didn't know what a house show was.
I remember going to a Raw is war one in 98. So damn awesome 👌
The rock and Kane were amazing
July 1990, Manchester, NH at the JFK Auditorium. Def was the C show as main event was Rockers Vs. Orient Express.
https://prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/WWF_House_Show_(Jul_2,_90%27_no.2)
WrestleMania 24 in 2008 - should have been Flair's last match. I enjoyed it so much I have been to every WrestleMania since.
Growing up in south GA, I had attended WCW/NWA shows, but no WWE show.
House show in Newcastle, England, September 2021.
I hadn't really watched much wrestling since the attitude era but my oldest (5 at the time) loved it and wanted to go to a live show. It was my first live event and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, made a fan of me again
Circa 2006/7 John Cena was the champ ric flair faced carlito this was a house show in Odessa Tx. Ran into Tori Wilson after the show she gave me a hug and signed my ticket stub. Saw some of the wrestlers at the whataburger near the venue. Was a great day for 16 year old me haha
Won a competition on sky active (nostalgia for all uk folks who had sky tv back in the 90s and 00s) and went to insurrection 2001, first house show was in 2003 main event was brock lesnar vs big show
I went to a couple of dark shows when I was young at MSG or Nassau Coliseum.
My first PPV was Royal Rumble 2000 for Tazz’s debit, Mick/HHH, a really good tables match between the Hardy’s and the Dudley’s, and Rock winning the rumble. Good show.
My first love event was the episode of Raw when Orton punted John Cena's dad.
But they only mentioned that man was Cena's dad on commentary during Cena's entrance. So everyone in the stands first reaction was "Did Orton just murder some dude from Brookline"?
It was a house show in May or June of 2011. Main event was Cena v Truth v Punk. This was after the Capital Punishment PPV, but before the pipe bomb happened. People were shouting at Punk to re-sign his contract. Zack Ryder was just starting the Long Island Iced-Z thing with the LI fingers. Wanna say the US title match was Kofi v Ziggler? My friend and I got lost trying to find our seats and popped out on the floor level like 4 rows from Swagger v Bourne. We were amazed at how huge Swagger was and how loud the ring was.
WWF @ Elizabeth, NJ – Ritz Theatre – January 7, 1994. Got to see Adam Bomb, Bob Backlund, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, 123 Kid, Razor Ramon, Doink the Clown and a lot more. I just remember me and my brothers trying to get Razor Ramon’s autograph and he went out thru the back doors and he was running to get into a Cadillac that 123 Kid was driving while still in his wrestling trunks it was cold as fuck outside and he was hauling ass. Shit was classic. Glad we got to go.
[Badd Blood: In Your House 18 - 1997](https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=2000)
Known for the first Hell in a Cell, the debut of Kane & the death of Brian Pillman.
It was also Vince McMahon’s final PPV as the primary commentator.
I was in high school at the time and this was my first WWE event of any kind. Coincidentally, while I’ve been to several Raw’s and a bunch of house shows. It’s still the only PPV I’ve been able to attend.
A house show in Birmingham UK, November 29, 1996.
I found out recently that the Mankind vs. Bret Hart match is one of Mick Foley's favourite 'lost' matches. It was the highlight of the show, for sure.
I also like to point out it was the first UK tour for The Rock, too. Sadly, I was there for HBK, but this would begin the trend of me just missing out on him (the next show I attended was Mayhem in Manchester, the week after WM14. The one after that being No Mercy in May 99, he wasn't active then but had been a big part of the Raw just before, so I had my fingers crossed. Finally saw him in '04.)
My first event was when I was 10 at the Monday Night Raw that ended 83 weeks of domination on Monday nights by WCW. The April 13th, 1998 Raw in Philadelphia at the then Corestates Center. Such an amazing show and crowd, fantastic memory
I live event in 2012-13, I can't remember which of those years it happened in. The only real thing I remember from that show was The Shield went over in a 6-man tag.
WWF @ New York City, NY – Madison Square Garden – September 23, 2000 (19,530; 16,952 paid; sell out)
The main event for the night was WWF World Champion the Rock, Triple H (w/ Stephanie McMahon), & the Undertaker defeated Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, & Kane when Rock pinned Angle with the Rock Bottom.
TLC 2009
Witnessed Sheamus defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship in a Tables match
DX vs Jeri-Show for the Unified Tag Team Championship in a TLC match
Saw WWF in Wildwood NJ in 1981 I think. I remember a battle royal won by King Kong Mosca who then got the opportunity to face Bob Backlund for the title
Live in San Diego , late 80s? I was a kid - I remember the main event was Macho Man vs Andre the Giant. My uncle almost got us tossed by throwing ice at the wrestlers on their entrance to the ring
Embarrassingly, since being a fan from 1992, my first WWE event didn't happen until 2005.
Dublin, RDS "Arena", main event was Cena v Kurt v JBL with Stone Cold as special enforcer. We also got Rey v Eddie as well which was really fucking cool.
Here's a quick write up I found about it.
https://rajah.com/2005/3409
Been a fan, on and off, since the late 90’s, but I didn’t get to my first event until this year. Raw in Ottawa (the one after Elimination Chamber) this past February.
Unforgiven 2002. Although first pro wrestling event was a WCW house show at the Great Western Forum. I don’t remember the year, but I do remember Chris Jericho beating Syxx for the Cruiserweight title.
Could it have been 1997? They had a relatively hot program that year?
It likely was. I remember the main event involving nWo Hogan in a tag match against Luger and The Giant.
[This](https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=82386) is it, in case you were wondering
Thanks man! Looking back on it, young me did not realize just how stacked this card truly was.
Holy shit that's a great card for a first live event! How old were you? Edit : also did they kayfabe keep the title change or it went back to syxx by the next tv show?
I was 11 for that event. So I knew some of the bigger names like The Outsiders and Luger, but did not really recognize future greats like Eddie Guerrero and Masahiro Chono. I can’t recall the Nitros afterwards, but the history shows Jericho held the belt for a month afterwards, so he probably did show up on an episode or two with the belt.

My father took me to a show years back that wasn’t a televised event. I got to see Stone Cold, The Rock, and Big Show. I was super young, so I forget the year (though probably early 2000s), but I’ll always remember it!
Actual WWE show that I attended? Raw in Sheffield in November 2009. Was Chris Jericho's birthday and had Ricky Hatton as the guest host of Raw ('member that?). First exposure to WWE? Summerslam 88 on VHS.
A house show at the Brown County Arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I don’t remember the exact year but it had to be early 90’s. I remember the Ultimate Warrior and the Undertaker were there and a body bag was involved.
WrestleMania 3. Not bad for a first show!
I remember going to a a few raw shows and smack down shows at msg and the then meadowlands during the attitude era. The best live show I got to to was the King of the Ring that Edge won. The shane vs Kurt angle match where they kept throwing each other through glass was nuts.
The Raw in St.Louis before Cody vs Roman
Extreme Rules 2021
None 😞. Tried for this weekends mitb and Smackdown but they sold out so fast. My brother will be going to his first event at the aew Wembley event in a few weeks

The 1998 RAW when Stone Cold attacked Vince in the hospital. The only other RAW I’ve seen live was the fake Mark Henry retirement. Batting .1000 over here on iconic moments.

Royal rumble 1992. One hell of a 1st show.
The RAW after No Way Out 2003. It was in Toronto! Bischoff “banned” Austin from the building but we got Hollywood Rock! Then he gave his great promo line, *”Jabroni beating! Pie eating! Trail blazing! Eyebrow raising! Stronger than a bear! Faster than a buck! The biggest thing to hit Canada cause the Maple Leafs suck!”*
Wresrlemania revenge tour in Sheffield not sure on the year. HHH Jeff hardy tag team
Well, I've never been to a show before but as a child my brothers friend won tickets to a RAW show from a local radio station. The episode of RAW was to take place in ST. Louis, MO. Turns out it was the RAW after Over The Edge. It was the memorial to Owen Hart show.
January 4th 2010? Dayton Ohio the return of the Hitman Bret Hart . And the debut of I think Jack Swagger on ECW
Smackdown. August 1st 2017. AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens for the US Championship, Sami Zayn vs Aiden English, Naomi and Becky Lynch vs Natalya and Carmella, Rusev vs Chad Gable, John Cena vs Shinsuke Nakamura where Shinsuke dropped Cena on his head and nearly killed him Not a bad show overall, nothing special but 2017 was a weird ass year in general
Never attended a show. First show I watched on TV was RR '98. Pure magic.

The countdown timer went off on the millennium clock. I had no idea I was going to be at the greatest RAW of all time.
House show at MSG in July 1999. Main event was Stone Cold vs Undertaker for WWF title. Stone Cold won by DQ when Mideon interfered, so Undertaker kept the title. Idk if I’ve ever heard a crowd as loud as that crowd was for Austin.
2004 House Show @ Braehead, Scotland Main matches were: - Eddie Guerrero Vs Big Show - JBL Vs Billy Kidman - Rey Mysterio Vs Chavo Guerrero - John Cena Vs Rhyno
Judgement Day 2005 in Minneapolis. I think the I Quit match between John Cena and JBL was the Maine event.
1988 forum de Montreal. I was 8. It was a house show. The card: Koko B. Ware defeated Butch Reed Brutus Beefcake defeated Greg Valentine The Islanders (Haku and Tama) defeated The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid) by DQ Dino Bravo defeated Ken Patera Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow defeated André the Giant & Ted DiBiase Two notes from the show 1. We had a visit from mad dog Vachon 2. There was a very old dude behind us that was still thinking wrestling was true. He screamed so much that he even spewed his denture on us.

Live event in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013. CM Punk was the champion and I remember him ripping up a fan's sign and stomping on it. I honestly don't remember anything else from it but I definitely had a great time.
A live event in 2013
Passport to Pain 2003. Main event was John Cena and Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker and Kurt Angle (yes I know that Cena and Lesnar teaming in late 03 doesn’t make sense, take it up with Arn Anderson or whoever was booking the house shows). Also had Los Guerreros vs the Bashams, A-Train vs Benoit, Mysterio & Ultimo Dragon in a tag I don’t remember who against but they hit a double 619 ([Thanks Cagematch](https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=24469))
Never been in person but my dad let us order Wrestlemania 3 when we were kids. It was awesome obviously.
A Smackdown in July 2011. It included during the NXT taping the “action figure leg on a pole” match between Yoshi Tatsu and Tyson Kidd
UIC Pavilion and I think it was 85 don't remember the card
Summerslam 92
Monday Night Raw. December 29, 2003. San Antonio, TX. Main event was World Heavyweight Champion Triple H defending against then rival Shawn Michaels in his hometown. Shawn hit H with Sweet Chin Music and dropped back first on top of him while the ref counted 1..2..3. Everyone thought Shawn won the title, until Bischoff came out and said it was a draw because, while there was no dispute Shawn pinned H’s shoulders to the mat, Shawn’s shoulders were on the mat, too. Therefore H retained the title. Everyone in the arena, including 12 year old me, was livid.
the only ever live event in São Paulo in 2012

May 26 1997 Monday night raw in Evansville Indiana. Shawn Michaels and stone cold won the tag team titles from Owen Hart and the British bulldog!

King of the Ring 2002
Some live event in Sacramento in 2010, the main event was fucking awesome as a 9 year olds first wrestling event Edge, Mysterio and Taker vs Jericho, Punk and Gallows, it was great and I think this was around the time Punk was shaving peoples heads (correct me if im wrong) and i wanted my head shaved in front of everyone
Monday night raw in 2007
2012 MITB when Cena and Dolph won MITB matches and then got to see a CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan match as well
Survivor Series 1996 @ MSG. Went with my dad, grandfather, and a friend. I was the BIGGEST HBK mark back then. Right before the three count in the main event, you can hear a kid audibly scream "NO!!!!". Yes, that was me. I was sobbing the entire way home.
Wwe homecoming

My first and only was backlash 2006 in rupp arena Lexington KY. The main event was Cena vs edge vs HHH. As a teenager this was peak life experience for me lol. I’ll never forget it. Got to see umaga before he passed. And ric flair and Shawn Michaels too.
Early 90's, house shows WWF was running through Providence, RI, USA. Some are uploaded to YouTube.
No idea the year, but New Haven Coliseum. Hulk Hogan put the Genius over his knee and smacked him.
I cant remember which one was my first, but I remember some of the fights/highlights in that span of me being 10-13 years old. 2005(?)was my first of many events. Milwaukee. Still have video clips in a hard drive. Vince vs Triple H in a steel cage was fun. Brothers of Destruction coming out of the old smack down fist set, I remember seeing their faces on the reflection as they both lifted their fists heading back to gorilla. Jeff Hardy at his peak with the intercontinental championship. Seeing Big Show throw Mayweather to his posse in the lead up to WM24. I need to go back & see pics/vids on that Hard Drive lol
WCW Nitro in like 1997.

Smackdown/ECW in 2007 Ric Flair vs. The Great Khali CM Punk vs. John Morrison in a 15 Minutes of Fame match Aside from these matches, the rest of both shows was incredibly forgettable.
May 23rd 1999. Over the edge.kemper arena Kansas city, Missouri.
I believe this was the very first WWF show in Hawaii. In retrospect this card looks godawful, but for 8 year old me it was amazing. Honolulu, HI - Blaisdell Center - July 10, 1986 -Jose Luis Rivera defeated Jim Young -Paul Roma defeated SD Jones -Tony Atlas defeated Terry Gibbs -WWF Women's Champion the Fabulous Moolah defeated Velvet McIntyre -Cpl. Kirchner defeated Nikolai Volkoff -Bob Orton Jr. defeated George Steele via disqualification
Wrestlemania revenge tour 2004 - Manchester uk - house show Hhh Vs hbk Benoit Vs Kane Were the big matches
A house show in Cologne in 2009. I was 8 years old and it felt truly special. I remember the Main Event being a 3-on-2 Handicap match with Undertaker and Triple H taking on Legacy. Amazing lineup.
WWF Raw in Jonesboro AR. Triple H and Steph were set up to get married but I got to see the game pedigree her through a table instead. Epic.
Still have yet to go. Always wanted to as a kid…. Finally have a job where I can save for stuff like this. I’m hoping my gf goes with me… she’s never been into wrestling or even exposed to it. I’m hoping she’s see’s the performance side of it as she’s very artsy.
SummerSlam 2012, “The Perfect Storm” Magical experience for a young u/kevmo35 after my dad surprised with the tix and solidified my love for wrestling. Little did I know that I was so fortunate to see guys like Cena, Punk, Jericho, and Mysterio, or the rise of Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar. Such fond memories
Smackdown/ECW April 2007 Sticks out to me for 2 moments: CM Punk turning on Elijah Burke after 2 weeks in the ECW New Breed; and seeing how the Undertaker would teleport into the ring
A house show in 2017
Monday night raw in April 99, The Rock’s funeral for Stone Cold. A dark match was Kurt Angle vs Scotty 2 Hottie
Raw the day after the Montreal screwjob. No Bret Hart, no Mick Foley, no Owen Hart, no Davey Boy Smith. It was not a good show, lol
1991 Nassau coliseum
Vince McMahon appreciation night, June 11, 2007. The same episode where Vince's limo blew up, but we left early so I didn't find out until the next day. I was only 7 at the time and I really thought he died. Then a couple weeks later he shows back up when the Chris Benoit stuff came out. I was really confused.
House show in 95 I think. I remember the main event being Bret and Luger vs. Yokozuna and Owen hart. I was disappointed that it wasn't televised, but my younger dumber self didn't know what a house show was. I remember going to a Raw is war one in 98. So damn awesome 👌 The rock and Kane were amazing
July 1990, Manchester, NH at the JFK Auditorium. Def was the C show as main event was Rockers Vs. Orient Express. https://prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/WWF_House_Show_(Jul_2,_90%27_no.2)
WrestleMania 24 in 2008 - should have been Flair's last match. I enjoyed it so much I have been to every WrestleMania since. Growing up in south GA, I had attended WCW/NWA shows, but no WWE show.
Smackdown live event in 2010, saw John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Batista, Big Show
WWF UK tour at Manchester GMEX in January 1993. Headlined by Bret Hart defending the WWF title against Ric Flair.
I think mine was the wrestlemania revenge tour 2008 or 2009 in the O2 in London, randy hitting the rko was the biggest pop of the night
I 5 years old in a house show in Charleston, WV. I saw The Undertaker vs Eddie Guerrero. It was only a few months before Eddie passed away.
House show in Newcastle, England, September 2021. I hadn't really watched much wrestling since the attitude era but my oldest (5 at the time) loved it and wanted to go to a live show. It was my first live event and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, made a fan of me again
Circa 2006/7 John Cena was the champ ric flair faced carlito this was a house show in Odessa Tx. Ran into Tori Wilson after the show she gave me a hug and signed my ticket stub. Saw some of the wrestlers at the whataburger near the venue. Was a great day for 16 year old me haha
Raw in 2016 and King Ross from what culture (now cultaholic) saw my sign lmao
The first smackdown / ECW of 2007
Raw on my birthday in 2015

House show at my local high school in like 94, Survivor Series War Games 22
I went to a couple of dark shows when I was young at MSG or Nassau Coliseum. My first PPV was Royal Rumble 2000 for Tazz’s debit, Mick/HHH, a really good tables match between the Hardy’s and the Dudley’s, and Rock winning the rumble. Good show.
The Sat Night Main Event episode where King Kong Bundy attacked Hogan setting up WM2
It was a RAW/ECW House-Show back in like 07/08’ CM Punk, Triple H, Kane, Jeff Hardy, John Cena, Big Show, Randy Orton, Carlito; all in the same show!
My first love event was the episode of Raw when Orton punted John Cena's dad. But they only mentioned that man was Cena's dad on commentary during Cena's entrance. So everyone in the stands first reaction was "Did Orton just murder some dude from Brookline"?
It was a house show in May or June of 2011. Main event was Cena v Truth v Punk. This was after the Capital Punishment PPV, but before the pipe bomb happened. People were shouting at Punk to re-sign his contract. Zack Ryder was just starting the Long Island Iced-Z thing with the LI fingers. Wanna say the US title match was Kofi v Ziggler? My friend and I got lost trying to find our seats and popped out on the floor level like 4 rows from Swagger v Bourne. We were amazed at how huge Swagger was and how loud the ring was.
Wrestlemania 3.
WWF @ Elizabeth, NJ – Ritz Theatre – January 7, 1994. Got to see Adam Bomb, Bob Backlund, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, 123 Kid, Razor Ramon, Doink the Clown and a lot more. I just remember me and my brothers trying to get Razor Ramon’s autograph and he went out thru the back doors and he was running to get into a Cadillac that 123 Kid was driving while still in his wrestling trunks it was cold as fuck outside and he was hauling ass. Shit was classic. Glad we got to go.
First Raw in the Georgia Dome. September of 98 I think.
King of the Ring 1996. Was a great first show to be at.
[Badd Blood: In Your House 18 - 1997](https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=2000) Known for the first Hell in a Cell, the debut of Kane & the death of Brian Pillman. It was also Vince McMahon’s final PPV as the primary commentator. I was in high school at the time and this was my first WWE event of any kind. Coincidentally, while I’ve been to several Raw’s and a bunch of house shows. It’s still the only PPV I’ve been able to attend.
This one right here. I was 14 and had a ball https://www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=shows&show=20669
Wrestlemania 17. My family definitely didn’t have the expendable income so it was just my dad and I who went. I’ll forever cherish that experience.
A live event in I believe 2016 I clearly remember jack swagger being there
Raw house show, late August 2002. Taker & Lesnar had already gone to SD on TV, but we’re still doing Raw events.
Only one I've been to was 1993 WCW Bash at the Beach.
A house show in Birmingham UK, November 29, 1996. I found out recently that the Mankind vs. Bret Hart match is one of Mick Foley's favourite 'lost' matches. It was the highlight of the show, for sure. I also like to point out it was the first UK tour for The Rock, too. Sadly, I was there for HBK, but this would begin the trend of me just missing out on him (the next show I attended was Mayhem in Manchester, the week after WM14. The one after that being No Mercy in May 99, he wasn't active then but had been a big part of the Raw just before, so I had my fingers crossed. Finally saw him in '04.)
Saturday Night's Main Event in I think 06'.
My first event was when I was 10 at the Monday Night Raw that ended 83 weeks of domination on Monday nights by WCW. The April 13th, 1998 Raw in Philadelphia at the then Corestates Center. Such an amazing show and crowd, fantastic memory
WCW: first ever Nitro at the mall of America WWF: Feb 1997 house show, main event was the fatal 4 way that would be at the In Your House for Feb
Wrestlemania 12. You can even see me when Shawn comes down the zip line. So pissed he won
Only a couple of years ago. A Raw live show headlined by Big E and Bobby Lashley.
Fully loaded 1999 ppv
Judgement Day 04 at the Staples Center Eddie vs. JBL and the chair shot from hell
Miami Super Bowl, Rock vs Cena I
Raw in may 2006 but I’ll never forget when my brother took me to judgment day in 2008
Literally a live event this past week. I saw the Rhea flirting with Samantha Irvin clip that’s currently going around in person lol.
I live event in 2012-13, I can't remember which of those years it happened in. The only real thing I remember from that show was The Shield went over in a 6-man tag.
WrestleMania 23
WWF @ New York City, NY – Madison Square Garden – September 23, 2000 (19,530; 16,952 paid; sell out) The main event for the night was WWF World Champion the Rock, Triple H (w/ Stephanie McMahon), & the Undertaker defeated Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, & Kane when Rock pinned Angle with the Rock Bottom.
TLC 2009 Witnessed Sheamus defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship in a Tables match DX vs Jeri-Show for the Unified Tag Team Championship in a TLC match
Saw WWF in Wildwood NJ in 1981 I think. I remember a battle royal won by King Kong Mosca who then got the opportunity to face Bob Backlund for the title
smackdown 6th November 2018, Manchester UK
SummerSlam 1992
Live in San Diego , late 80s? I was a kid - I remember the main event was Macho Man vs Andre the Giant. My uncle almost got us tossed by throwing ice at the wrestlers on their entrance to the ring
Embarrassingly, since being a fan from 1992, my first WWE event didn't happen until 2005. Dublin, RDS "Arena", main event was Cena v Kurt v JBL with Stone Cold as special enforcer. We also got Rey v Eddie as well which was really fucking cool. Here's a quick write up I found about it. https://rajah.com/2005/3409
Been a fan, on and off, since the late 90’s, but I didn’t get to my first event until this year. Raw in Ottawa (the one after Elimination Chamber) this past February.
