Well, the biggest wrestling-related thing to happen in this city was that ECW held a PPV (I think it was Living Dangerously 2000), at the O'Neill Center here. This just goes to show how far in the shitter ECW were starting to go by this point.....I'm quite certain that all watching the PPV were probably thinking "where the crap is Danbury, Connecticut?"
Pretty sure that's the show where New Jack and Vic Grimes were on scaffolding and Jack walked off of it backwards, sending Grimes with him flipping, and Grimes ended up landing on (and breaking) both of New Jack's knees</font>

Went to Insurrextion 2001 here (London, England) saw Angle Vs Benoit in 2 out of 3 falls. It wasn't the best match they ever had but it was worth it just to see them wrestle each other live :drool: and seeing the undertaker was unreal.
Highlight of the nite was steph being hit by a plastic bottle (Well several plasic bottles) and it being all over the net for a few days.
It was strange seeing as they checked us for bottles when we came in.
btw: (i don't wish any harm on steph) :shifty:
Other than that we've had Summerslam 92 (Bulldog Vs Bret) and and few other live events, thats about it really.

Austin, TX
-Paul London is from here.
-It was in Austin that Snitsky punted the baby on Raw.
-Austin was the last stop on the "Hoe Train". It was in Austin when Godfather was taken by the RTC.
-Lance Hoyt of TNA used to wrestle here locally under the name "Shadow".
-Victoria, TX is close by which is Stone Cold's hometown.
-San Antonio is a short drive from here which is famous for HBK and the current home of Stone Cold. Also home of the former TWA school which trained several indy & WWE superstars such as Paul London, Spanky, American Dragon Brian Danielson, (Lance) Garrison Cade, etc. I also saw the Vertabreaker performed in TWA before I ever saw Hurricane (Sugar Shane Helms) do it.
-Houston is close too which is Booker T and Stevie Ray's hometown. Houston is also the Undertaker's hometown.
-Houston has been home to two Wrestlemanias and a few other PPV's
-Dallas has hosted several PPV's. Dallas is the same distance from Austin as Houston is from Austin.
That's all I can think of right now...

Nothing where I live now...but back when I lived in Denver, CO...
*Vader
*Too Cold Scorpio
*"Colorado Kid" Mike Rapada (NWA guy [and former World Champ] for those of you who don't know)
*Raven won the US title and Savage won the World Title on the same night
*Goldberg won the US title and Hogan won the World Title the next night in the city next to Denver (Colorado Springs)
*Jericho won one of his IC title reigns here
*Denver is the city where Bischoff and Russo vacated all the titles
*WWE Vengence was here when Kurt Angle began his 4th (and final to date) reign as WWE Champion and Eddie Guerrero began his 2nd (and final to date) reign as US Champion
*One of Lance Storm's 3 favorite cities to wrestle in...
Also, I doubt this makes Denver, or the state of Colorado "known" but there has never, NEVER been a Tag Team Title switch in the entire state of Colorado. Even when it comes to Indies (NWA-Rocky Mountain, RMCW, HVW, CWO, XTC, and others), the Tag Titles have never been dropped or won, only awarded and stripped. Interesting isn't it.

Also it's not "whale" unless you are talking about the animal. I believe the word you were looking for is "while". Also there is no Joh Cena, but I think a guy named John Cena is WWE Champion right now. Ok the last one I know was a type-o I just felt like being a bitch.

* Shelton Benjamin defeated Triple H on Raw
....Not much, really
Since then, we've got Dean Ambrose and Angelo Dawkins of WWE fame. Also some ROH chick. Kelly Kline, I think? oVe and Sami Callihan are from Dayton, just 45 minutes north of here.
Hm. That AssMan who posts on a wrestling message board recently visited my city.
Oh, right, turns out Ivan Putski was from a city I don't even really like.

Nothing directly for me as I'm in a small town in New Jersey. The closest I have in claim is that Chris Candido & Tammy Sytch grew up & lived about 25 min away from me. At one point in time, that was kinda cool trivia. Maybe not so much these days. :'(

I guess my town is known for being a couple hours away from the current residence of Brock Lesnar

Where I live now- I guess for being where Chase Stevens got attacked by a 60 year old Waffle Waitress at a show.

I'd say Angelo Poffo's International Championship Wrestling outlaw promotion. Was based in Lexington, KY and would run shows around the area. My uncle has told me he's partied with Randy Savage when they were running shows in a neighboring town of ours.

Rey Mysterio is from here. Also, Edge and Eddie Guerrero had a no holds barred match on Smackdown here in 03 where Eddie got a standing o and the beginning of his eventual face turn.
Jericho also unified the titles here I believe.

I think it was 02 actually. Was it the one where Edge won with a Edgeucution off the ladder?

Much wrestling has passed through here over the years, such as Slamboree 98, which was the night the Outsiders originally split (My first live event), Foley winning his first WWF title while the Fingerpoke was happening on Nitro, Backlash 03, the 2016 Draft/first Smackdown LIVE (I was at that one), ECW passed through a couple times in the 90s

JAPW. Also, I have a friend who is a former ROH tag team champion. Way back in the day.

Yes you're right! It was 02. That was actually a great show. Lesnar destroyed Funaki in an interview segment and the triple threat main event was Angle, Benoit and Mysterio in their prime.
