How the hell do you remember all those shows?

I can't even count all the shows i've been to. Possibly 100+!

I grew up in San Antonio and SouthWest Championship Wrestling was ran out of SA so i went regularly to tapings. Then we had World Class Championship visiting frequently. And of course the bottom of the barrel events at flea markets and bingo halls.

Since moving to Seattle i've been to 4 WMs, No Way Out 2009, 10 or so Raws/SDs.

WWE RAW House Show

Spoiler

Just got home from the Raw house show in Memphis. Have to say that it was AMAZING! One of the best shows I'vebeen too! Better than when Smackdown was here in Feb.

* Evan Bourne def. Zack Ryder with the Airbourne. Good back and forth match. Both got decent reactions. Crowd behind Evan of course.

* Jerry Lawler comes out to a huge hometown pop thanking Memphis and saying how much he loves his hometown. Edge interrupts and shoots down Memphis and says that Elvis or Lawler aren't "The King" he is!(to which I agreed lol) Jerry gets rid of Edge and Edge shoots to the back.

* Up next is Maryse vs Eve for the WWE Divas Championship. Santino is special guest referee. It wasn't really a technical match but they both played to the crowd really well. Maryse did her hair flip thousands of times much to the crowds approval and Eve popped her butt and did a backflip also to the crowds approval. (Of course I was solidly behind "The Premier Diva" Maryse.) Nice little match. It was pretty much their Over The Limit match with a few fun house show moments added in such as Eve spanking Maryse, Maryse hitting Santino in the head, and Maryse running around the ring from Eve. Eve def Maryse with her front flip senton.

* Gail Kim is out next looking for a guest bell ringer for the next match and she is looking great! In a familiar looking black dress lol. (Crowd was hot for her both times she came out) She asked a girl who the GM of Raw was which she answered correctly.

* Next match is Goldust vs Dos Caras Jr. Pretty decent match. Goldust got a pretty good crowd reaction. Dos got a nice decent reaction considering hes pretty much unknown. Goldust got the win with the Final Cut.

* Wade Barrett comes out issuing an open challenge to anyone in the back. Cue Mark Henry to a huge crowd reaction! Mark Henry comes out and of course defeats Wade with the World Strongest Slam. He played to the crowd really well also.

* R-Truth vs The Miz for the U.S. Championship. Miz cuts a promo and as he says "Cuz I'm The Miz and"....the crowd goes "I'm Awesome!!!" Miz saw the crowd was behind him so he says that they fail at saying "I'm Awesome" to get some heel heat. He succeeded. Truth comes out and does his usual shtick. Really nice match! Crowd was so hot for R-Truth! R-Truth won with the Lie Detector and played to the crowd!

* Next is Hart Dynasty vs Regal and Koslov. I missed most of the match but Natalya did great playing to the crowd and interfering. D.H. Smith won with the sharpshooter. I also got to touch Natalyas cold but perfect hand lol

* Jerry Lawler comes out to face Edge. Edge defeats him with the spear. Afterwards they have a brawl and Jerry knocks Edge out cold with the piledriver. Edge has a hard time getting up after that.

* Main event up next and its John Cena vs Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship! John Cena got the biggest pop I've ever heard him get in awhile! Louder than Lawler! Crowd was solidly behind him! Jericho comes out next with Wade Barrett to the biggest heat of the night. A great back and forth match! Barrett interfered but got sent to the back. He came back out later in the match. Jericho got the Walls of Jericho on Cena then Cena reversed it into the STF but Jericho broke out. Cena ended up winning with the Attitude Adjustment sending the crowd home happy!

WWE Raw 12/4/12



Next up:

 

[61 Corpses]

-Naptown

-Chicago

-Louisville

A Raw taping in Louisville in 1996 where they taped 3 shows..height of the Diesel/Mabel feud

Smackdown in Naptown..dont remember what year..When Hogan was doing his Mr.America shyt

Used to go to a shytload of OVW shows back in the day..really thought Dinsmore/Eugene and Doug Basham would be big stars

 

[No_bammer_weed]

Went to an AAA show in like 94 at the San Jose State Arena....amazing! Young Ray Mysterio/Eddy G/Konnan. Tickets were like 3 bucks, and they were flyin all over the place.

WCW house show at the same arena in 92 when I was like 7. I'll never forget scott steiner waiting at the curtain for his music cue. We were at the guardrail, roughly 15 feet or so away from him. He just stared at me and pops, menacingly. Frightening experience. Pops was shook, and he was a buckwild street niqqa back then.

WWF house show in Aug of 1997...this was the show that Mick Foley talked about in his first book, where both he and Owen were wrestling in a "hardcore match", and one of the weapons used was a big bag of popcorn as they were both trying to make Austin laugh, who was stationed at ringside. I'll never forget the reaction from moms, who took me and my friends, "this sht is so damn fake. Why the hell do you watch this sht BUD????"

Royal Rumble 98. Tickets for the show were offered for the first time during intermission of the above house show. Got bomb seats for 18 bucks.

Raw sept 14 1998. San Jose. Crowd was apesht the whole night. Austin wrestled shamrock. We saw Sable's t*ts in an evening gown match

Went to both WCW Superbrawls held at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, in 1997 and 98. A buff bagwell groupie hoe was sitting next to us. He came up to her at the end of the show to tell her where to meet him. Mad fights everywhere for both shows.

In 97, went to the Nitro held the night after SB, in Sac. Met Kimberly page. Most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Funny story. Me and my friend were waiting in the parking lot for the wrestlers to leave after the show. As we're bullshtting, my boy was like "Dude, was that Jericho and Eddy?" Turns out it was --- they had literally walked right past us, but because they're so small and quiet, nobody paid them any mind. I was like 12 at the time, and they were the same height as me, give or take an inch or two.

WWF SD taping in Jan/2001 at the Oakland Coliseum. Last show Ive been to. Starting getting into girls and lost interest in watching wrestling on a week to week basis. Still keep up w/ it online, obviously, and will watch if something big happens.
