How has your favorite wrestler done when you've seen them in person?
I don't remember all the house shows, but TV stuff I remember.
My favorite wrestler is Christian. In Chicago I've seen him beat Hurricane years ago on Velocity. The next year he lost the IC belt to RVD in a ladder match on RAW. Saw him retain his ECW title at Judgment Day 2009 in Chicago. Summerslam 09 he got a win by DQ after about 10 seconds when Regal, Ezekiel, and Kozlov attacked him. And finally, saw him lose MITB at Wrestlemania 26. I'm sure you all have great memories of seeing your favorites in person too. |

I described my life-changing experience watching Triple H wrestle Randy Orton last December in a classic thread. I will dig it up shortly. In the meantime, enjoy this other classic post I made...in audio form.

Saw Kurt Angle beat heel Cena at No Mercy 2003, first PPV event I had ever been to. Angle is the best, simply put, but seeing him live was definitely a whole different experience.
The last time I ever saw Angle live was at the RAW/Smackdown supershow a few weeks before Wrestlemania 22. The main event was Angle vs. The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship. Easily comparable to their No Way Out epic, and definitely the greatest match I've ever witnessed live. |

Saw Taker's return at Mania 20, Benoit's title win at Mania 20, Lesnar's title win at SummerSlam 02, Foley lose to Triple H at the Rumble, Shawn Michaels' return match and him winning the elimination chamber, Danielson over SAWA... You know, I don't think I have just one absolutely favorite wrestler.

Saw Bradshaw come out and do a JBL heel promo at a house show before he used the character on TV. Didn't expect it at all, and absolutely loved it.

I was very lucky to see a lot of my favorite wrestlers in WWF and WCW House shows (and 2 PPVs) in the early 1990s.

I've seen Bret and Owen Hart wrestle each other live on two separate occasions. Both times were amazing. In one of the matches, Bret won with the Sharpshooter, but he wouldn't release the hold after the bell rang. The announcer threatened that if Bret didn't release the hold, he would be fined $1000. He didn't let go. The announcer threatened $5000, and he STILL wouldn't let go. After that, the decision was reversed and Owen "won".
Speaking of Owen (and I've told this story here before), I was front row for four weeks worth of Superstars tapings when I was in the 5th grade or so. Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart walked past me, and I touched Owen's arm. He got directly in my face and pointed at me, screaming "DON'T TOUCH ME, I'M A KING!". Jim Neidhart stroked his beard and laughed in my face. Sadly, that's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. |
