Your first live wrestling event

[SuperClerk]

Technically, my first live wreatling event was in 1986 at an independent show in a small Brooklyn high school. the "main event" was Ivan Putski vs "Dr. D." David Shultz. My first real event was at MSG in 1987 where I saw Hulk Hogan beat Harley Race. I also went to the Texas Death rematch the next month.

My first was Wrestlemania I. It was great. Much different than today's TV events.

Anyone remember the opening scene in the first Highlander? I was there. 1985 Madison Square Garden. It was an AWA event. Three man tag "Jumpin'" Jim Brunzell, Greg Gagne, and the Tonga Kid vs. The Freebirds. My first time seeing the Road Warriors. My dad told me the first time I saw the movie that that was the one we attended. It was a blast being a kid and believing that everything was real.

What do you want from us? We're EVIL! EVIL!!!!!!

MY first was WWF in '89. We had great seats! We loved Honky Tonk Man and when he hit the ring we waved to him and did the "Honky Shuffle". He saw us and did it for us! Very Funny!
Since then, I've gone at least once a year. Been to a few Raws at the Mannhattan Center, the 2001 King Of The Ring (the Angle-Shano Mac Street Fight) and last, the Smackdown taping at the Meadowlands a few weeks ago (when Rey came back):)

Take it easy Clarky

i can't remember which was actually my first one. i used to go to the Nassau Coliseum when they came...it was one of these 4:

Bunkhouse Battleroyal...you could wear what you wanted Blackjack Mulligan won and then got laid out by King Kong Bundy

or Bulldogs vs Hart Foundation in a cage

or Adonis vs Piper...bloody match

or Steamboat vs Savage for the IC title also in a cage...and very bloody.

I'm not sure which of those was my first, but they were all around the same time. if i had to guess i would say the battle royal.

I don't remember alot of the details since I was kinda young, but the first event I went to had the Main Event as Andre the Giant SuperFly Snuka and Rocky Johnson VS. The Wild Samoans and I think Capt. Lou or some other Samoan guy.

2/27/99 - FleetCenter, Boston, MA
WWF WrestleMania Road Rage Tour (house show)

I remember that Goldust couldn't wrestle (it was when he was having the back problems), so he sent out Bluedust to wrestle his match.

Triple H and X-Pac lost a guitar on a poll match too Jeff Jarrrett and Owen Hart. After the match Triple H wanted to cheer up Pac so he asked the ladies in the crowd to flash him. When nobody did HHH said he'll do it then and he mooned Pac.

The main event was The Rock vs. Kane vs. Mankind vs. Steve Austin. That kicked a lot of ass, all of those guys were in their WWF prime then.

My uncle took my brother and me to a show in Hershey, PA, in either 1987 or '88. The thing I remember most about it was that it included a guy by the name of Dingo Warrior (who would debut on WWF TV a couple weeks later as the Ultimate Warrior). It also included Bobby Heenan taking an ill Andre the Giant's place in a tag team match. The main event was a lumberjack match between Tito Santana and ''evil referee'' Danny Davis. <P> <P>
