One or two Nitros
Assload of house shows (I've only attended one)

Other Saginaw Tidbits
1. Is one of Michigan's "Tri-Cities" along with Bay City and Midland (my actual hometown)
2. There's another house show coming next week or the week after. I guess they don't think the arena is TV-worthy anymore.

Huntsville, Alabama:

The Von Braun Center

WCW used to tape the occasional Nitro or Thunder there, but I never went to any of them. For the most part, WCW and WWF/E only ran house shows about once a year. However, since they're building a bigass new stadium in nearby Decatur, WWE has been testing the waters so to speak, and taped an episode of Raw in November, and a Smackdown only last week.

Also, NWA-TNA had a rather big show there, and debuted the X-Title in the VBC.

Best moments from House shows (that I went to):

-Harlem Heat vs Curt Hennig and Barry Windham
-Raven vs Hardcore Hak (the Sandman) in a no-DQ match
-Sting vs Bam Bam Bigelow
-Billy Kidman vs Chris Jericho
-Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit vs Val Venis vs Hardcore Holly for the I-C Title

From NWA-TNA:

-AJ Styles vs Jerry Lynn vs Low-Ki vs Psicosis in a double-elimination round robin match for the TNA X-Division Title
-Seeing Ricky Steamboat in person

Best moments from Raw:

-The Lost Boys wrestling a dark match against two unkown jobbers
-Rob Van Dam vs Kane in a Cage Match
Really, that was about it.

Best Moments from SD/Velocity:

-Kidman vs Sakoda
-Spanky/Paul London vs The World's Greatest Tag Team
-Rey Mysterio vs Akio
-Chris Benoit vs the whole FBI
-Chavo's heel turn on Eddie

In short - Summerslam 1992. Happened to be the most attended WWF/E of all time (don't even bother mentioning Wrestlemania 3 without researching please).

No big comapny has ever come to Bristol. Been to a couple of All Star shows here before though, but their shows are designed for kids and grannies and are quite frankly shit.
