WCW Nitro back in 96 or 97.

Saw one of the "Best of 7" matches between Chris Benoit and Booker T for the TV title.

And I kinda want to attend a local promotion, because they don't seem to take it all that serious and the crowd gets into it.

Only gone to a proper WWE show once, but I've seen a few indie circuits that just happened to be on the side of the road.

Just got home from WrestleMania.

Left my house at 5am on Friday.

Got back home and in my bed on Long Island at 2am this morning.

In between, had one of the best father/son trips I could've ever imagined. A weekend I'll never forget.

I use go all the time. I would even bring sings supporting undercard people. One time I went to an event before I had to take the MAT and got pulled over on my way home. I wasn't speeding. But that is neither here nor there.

WCW house show in 97
WCW Nitro in 98 (the night after Nash beat Goldberg and the night Flair stripped and handcuffed himself to the ropes)
WWF Raw in probably 99
WWF Smackdown in probably 99

Haven't really been into it much since then

I went to Raw that was also the King of the Ring, when Regal won. And while I was never a fan. him winning and his evil music playing was so awesome .

One regular WWF house show in 1988. Main event was Hulk Hogan vs Big Bossman. Also had a rematch between Honky Tonk Man and Ultimate Warrior.

Several

Worst one I went to was MWA in Delavan, Wi in 2018. Shawn the loser ass manager of the Arcadia Bar wanted a wrestling event despite the promotion telling him several times the ceilings were too low for anyone to use the turnbuckle past the first pad. Throw in there was barely enough space to hold about 20 fans.

I went to quite a few back in the late 90's to early 2000's. I don't think I've been to a WWE event since right after the name change.

watched wrestling back in the late 90s / early 2000s since kids in school thought it was cool and I had fun with it. Didn't watch it religiously though, just occasionally.

It's been quite a few years but I have been to several WWE shows and one indie show.

I remember at the end of one show Triple H took off one of his elbow pads and threw it to the crowd. As some people were jumping for it a kid got knocked down and was crying. Triple H saw it and motioned for the parents to bring the kid up to the barricade and he let the kid pose in the ring with him.

I watched it sometimes back in the day because my brother was into it and we only had 1 TV. Never got the appeal. Even as a 10 year old I thought it looked way too fake.

Having a communal TV seems weird as fuck now. Imagine having to watch what everyone else is watching in 2024.

Went to a WWF show when I was a kid in the 80s (the main event was Hulk Hogan vs Rowdy Roddy Piper, and it was a crazy scene). That's the only "big name" promotion I've seen live; the rest have been local indie shows, which are more my speed.

I went to a survivor series once and I've been to a few Monday Night Raws. Funny thing is the one I find most memorable was a indy show my dad took me to. I remember Sargent Slaughter had a match, I was surprised because even back then he hadn't had a match on TV in years. Hardy boys were there, but this was before they signed with WWE. They had been on TV a couple times to job, I remember the crowd was chanting farty boys at them. Edge was also there and this was when he still came in through the crowd and walked past where my dad was sitting.

I went to a few when I was in high school, and actively watching wrestling.

At least two episodes of Raw in 2000-2001, No Mercy 2000, and a Smackdown taping in 2003.

Once back in the late 90s or maybe 2000. My dad got us tickets because he worked in the hospital and one of the wrestlers gave them a few. Was pretty cool at the time.

WWE Battleground 2015, a couple of RAW episodes, a couple of AEW TV episodes, and one local indy show. Sadly, I couldn't get tickets to the AEW PPV that's coming here later this month.

The one show I went to I had an entrance lane seat. John Cena was exiting the match and my buddy shouted Its his (me) birthday!

John Cena did a double take, looked at me, and took off one of his wrist sweatbands and gave it to me. Told me Happy Birthday and cupped the back of my head. Pretty sure I still have it in a box in my parents attic.

When I went to nitro it was after the Wolfpack and regular nwo combined. Hogan didn't wrestle but he came out for a promo with the Wolfpack. I remember disco inferno was holding his title belt for him.

Main event was Goldberg and Rick steiner vs Scott steiner and buff Bagwell I believe

I went to a Smackdown showing and a Raw showing. Both sucked.

I live in Indiana (flyover country), so we're frequently on the go-home broadcast before the big PPV. I haven't been since Benoit was alive and I have no reason to want to go to any shows now.
