Anyone here been to a house show?
I'm going to the go-home Raw in DC on March 31, and they've got a house show the previous Saturday in Charlottesville. Thinking about getting some cheap sets ($23 apiece) and going with a few buddies. Question is, is it worth it to go for the warmup to Raw? And what should I expect from the house show in terms of length and the presentation itself? Thanks y'all.
|
Yeah best house show I went to was at Cobo in 1995 Hogan rassled Vader in the main event. Was really good 7/10
|
Presentation was lacking though. 3/10
|
House shows are amazing
|
hopefully Tatanka shows up!
|
The spirit of tatanka will be there at the very least.
|
Ive been to a ppv, raw, and house show (back in the mid to late 90s).
From what I remember, the house show was the most enjoyable, because the feeling of a house show was more laid back / relaxed because there wasnt the pressure that goes with a TV show, so there was obviously more wrestling, less talking. |
I've been to a couple Smackdown house shows in my hometown around the time of Kurt Angle/Lesnar feud.
Also went to one in Toronto at the Skydome around 2000, which was memorable because we stayed in the hotel that overlooks the ballpark so we watched the set up, opened the windows and got The Rock to give us a wave and shout from below. As for the wrestling, I remember it being fun to watch, because the guys will fuck around more and interact with the crowd and what not |
Yeah, I went to a househow once. Main event was Bret Hart/HBK/Psycho Sid for the World Title. I remember being ridiculously hyped up for it.
Of course, I was still young and believed that the title could conceivably change hands at the show. |

On a related note, I know that VERY rarely titles change hands at house shows (much less acknowledged...) Does anyone know what the reasons would be for having a title change at a house show? |
I went to a TNA house show once- they really give you your money's worth!
|
I went to a RAW houseshow and it was cool. They had a brand new entrance setup and no pyros. The show was geared towards the kids and was very predictable. The show was a repeat of the house show that occurred in MSG with the exception of Miz fighting for Punk's strap instead of Del Rio as he was injured.
There was a kid in front of me who had an Epico sign. Everytime a wrestler made his or her entrance, he would lift it up. I didn't have the heart to tell him. A scary big guy in a green Cena t-shirt was upset that we were chanting "Cena sucks!". Mason Ryan and David Otunga looked huge. No wonder Vince likes big men. There were a bunch of smirks behind me chanting for "Y2J" as he was suppose to return for Mania. It was stupid. |
I wonder if homeless people are banned from going to a house show?
|
I went to an ECW only house show and it ended up being Kurt Angles last match with WWE which is probably the coolest thing I can say I saw at a house show.
|
The one and only house show I ever been to was sooo long ago that The Rockers were still together, and the show closed with Ultimate Warrior gorilla pressing Sherri Martel and dropping her in the center of the ring to a huge pop. My brother and I contemplated climbing into the ring after the event, but were afraid some unseen security was going to yell at us. In retrospect, we should have chanced it.

As far as I know, the title changes that occur on house shows are documented. For example, Paul London and Brian Kendrick winning the now retired World Tag Team titles from Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade during a tour of Africa.
The Miz and John Morrison won the World Tag Team titles from Punk and Kingston on a house show and went on to defend them in a unification match against the WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito and Primo at the pre-show match of Wrestlemania 25. |
The only one I went to had a main event of IC CHamp Rick Rude vs Ultimate Warrior. Warrior won by DQ I think.
|
The best wrestling matches I've seen live have been at house shows. Except Jericho vs. Mysterio at The Bash 2009. That was the best televised match I've ever seen live
|
Two house show matches that always stand out to me are Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart for the Intercontinental title in 1996 in San Jose and a tornado tag team match between Austin & The Rock vs. Jericho & Angle in 2001 in Sacramento
|
Saw Sting vs Hogan in a cage match at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Legit sell out of over 18,000 and the largest house show attendance in WCW history.
Here's the results Singles Match Psychosis defeats La Parka WCW World Television Title Match Booker T (c) defeats Chris Jericho Singles Match Bill Goldberg defeats Jerry Flynn Singles Match Brian Adams defeats The British Bulldog Tag Team Match Chris Benoit & Diamond Dallas Page defeat Kidman & Sick Boy (w/Raven) Singles Match Ric Flair defeats Scott Norton Singles Match Bret Hart defeats Curt Hennig WCW World Heavyweight Title Steel Cage Match Sting (c) defeats Hollywood Hogan (w/The Disiple) Been to an ECW house show, numerous WCW and WWE over the years. |
Another fun part of that 2001 house show was getting to see the Impact Players, entrance and pose and all, since they never did it on TV. Was also the first time I got to see RVD live
|
Saw Stone Cold do an in ring promo at a house show when he got ran down by Rikishi. He came out to the Disturbed theme.
|
does OCW count? thinking about going on of these days.
|
Many, many years ago, in Palm Springs. Shortly before Simon Dean's debut, as he was in a tag match but not on the main roster yet.
Edge vs Chris Jericho La Resistance vs Eugene and Regal Victoria vs some other chick Rhyno and Tajari were also on the card. Forgot what the main event was, but it ended with Evolution pretty much beating up Randy Orton (the World Heavyweight Champion at the time) only for Orton to get a comeback and RKO everyone. |
Rasslin House Show yo,
This better not suck the dick it did, refund please |
Please don't sully haikus. Unless they're about Haku, you shouldn't do them.
|
Haku Haikus do rule
Haku is my boy not as much as the rassler who is Tatanka |
Diesel won the belt at a house show.
I remember Jarrett won the IC belt at a house show. |
House shows are fun because there is more wrestling and there will be at least 1 or 2 moments that would never ever happen on TV.
|
Been to tons of WWE house shows...the one I probably remember best is:

I've posted reviews of the house shows I've been to. Probably my favorite was the one headlined by Triple H as I got to see my hero in person for the very first time. I'll find my review of it.

I'm going to one tonight, my first WWE house show, TNA puts on a good house show. Last Waco house show last year saw the return of The Undertaker, I'm hoping for a repeat
|
I've been to two...one in '94 and the card was as follows (I was young and I was so excited to go as it was my first event so I wrote it down and managed to actually find it):
The Bushwhackers defeated Well Dunn IRS pinned Bob Holly WWF Tag Team Champion Diesel pinned Sionne WWF IC Champion Razor Ramon pinned Jeff Jarrett Adam Bomb pinned Kwang WWF World Champion Bret Hart pinned Jim Neidhart The Undertaker defeated Yokozuna in a casket match The second was in early Sept. 2001 and the main event was a 6 man tag: Undertaker & APA Vs. The Dudley Boys & Test...that's all I could remember for that one. |
Remember when Triple H decided to make his in-ring return on a house show?
|
TIL that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship has changed hands at a house show on more than one occasion.
|
The WWE World Heavyweight Championship has existed for 4 months.
|
Ugh! I am sorry for referring the belt by its current name and not "WWF Championship".
|
I went to a house show back in 2000 where The Undertaker stalled his bike on the entrance ramp. Pretty hilarious
|
Been to a few.
Only things I remember were Hulk Hogan vs Earthquake w/ Dino Bravo, and Paul London vs Jimmy Yang. Both were really awesome. |
Oh and I saw MnM before they debuted on TV.
|
the first wwe house show i ever went to. i was in the 2nd row:

The last house show I went to had Brock in a dark match. He did the SSP off the ropes and won. About 3 months later he debuted on TV.
|
does backyard rasslin feds count b/c they are def "house" shows. lololololololz
|
The only house show I have ever been to was a CWA show where Jerry Lawler fought "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell. Landell was "blindfolded" by a bag over his head for the match. Hilarity ensued including a spot where Lawler got the referee to bend over and tie his shoe on the bottom rope while The King used brass knucks on Landell.
The only other thing I remember from that event was that Dutch Mantell was currently "banned" from the area, but there was a masked wrestler called Texas Dirt who had VERY similar facial hair and wore a shirt that read "Dutch says Hi". |
I miss those old school custom shirts wrestlers used to wear.

Syracuse ONLY gets house shows......fucking Shawn Michaels

I went to a house show before, but i will never go again. I went to one in 2000.
Food i had was great the show was even great but there was 1 little problem. As i was leaving the stadium and walking around the block to my vehicle I noticed a figure walking my way, it was Stone Cold Steve Austin. He appeared to be drunk out his arse and he tried to pick a fight with me, I told him i didn't want any trouble. (Just to inform you i'm 6"2 210) Anyway he shoved me and i stumbled back, he shoved again and swung i bobbed and i weaved and hit him with a straight right. Then instantly in a fury of rage he went after me, I used his momentum against him and hip tossed him. He got back up and i uppercutted him and he began retreating. Next thing i know i am kidnapped by a strange group of people. When they took me they took me to vince's playground. Vince was there with a barbed wire baseball bat and threatened if i told anyone he would find me and hurt me. The police destroyed the videos of the brawl. Thats why i'll never go back. |
you were 2 or 3 years old in 2000, cody.

Only ever gone to one house show. Main event was Bret Hart vs. HBK vs. Psycho Sid for the World Title. I was a young enough kid to believe that this was a huge thing I was seeing, and that the title could very well change hands. Marked out so hard.

I've been to two. I proposed to my gf in ring at the second one. But you all know that by now.

You're not telling us anything we don't already know

First house show I went to was a pretty atrocious card in the Birmingham NEC in November 1996, notable because it had exactly one good match - the only ever Bret Hart Vs. Mick Foley encounter, which was awesome.
Full card was: 1. The Executioner defeated Barry Horowitz; 2. The Stalker defeated Justin 'Hawk' Bradshaw; 3. Rocky Maivia defeated T.L. Hopper; 4. Crush defeated Bob Holly; 5. Bret Hart defeated Mankind; 6. Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Aldo Montoya; 7. The Undertaker defeated Vader; 8. WWF Tag Team Champions Owen Hart & British Bulldog defeated The Godwinns; 9. WWF World Champion Sycho Sid defeated Faarooq. This was right after Survivor Series, and I don't think I need to state my utter disgust that my favourite wrestler, WWF Champion Shawn Michaels lost the belt just before the tour and wasn't even on the card. Oh, and Sid Vs. Faarooq went 90 seconds in the main event. |
Taker vs Vader was bad? That's surprising.
|
Thinking about checking out a Cassatt Real Deal Rasslin show but I can't find the tickets listed on stubhub. Can't go without a ticket. Won't be allowed in the arena. :(

The first shows I ever went to were back to back in Syracuse, NY at the War Memorial when I was 6 or 7 years old. (92' or 93') My sister took me to a WWF house show and then a WWf superstars taping within the same month featuring The Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, The Legion of Doom, Razor Ramon, Nasty Boyz, Million Dollar Man, The Undertaker, Ric Flair, Macho Man, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect... etc. Unfort I cant remember everything but i'm sure this is the reason i'm still a huge fan today... We snuck around backstage and saw Razor Ramon eating chicken wings in his portable trailer, also met Bret Hart (my sister chased him out of the arena after the show grabbing his arm and screaming his name while he was driving away with his window down lol) Man, I wish I could go to a show with that line up today.
