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.

The show was beautifully booked as every match built us up to have an explosive orgasm as Triple H defeated Randy Orton in a Falls Count Anywhere match. In quick, here was the parts of the show that helped make this a memorable night by building up to Triple H.

Tony Chimel (who I boo'd) welcomed us to the event and introduced guest hostess...Diva With Big Tits #659439. She asked a family where WM26 would be held. They said Phoenix. She said they won ringside seats (fuck you!)

ECW 6-Man Tag Team Match: Tommy Dreamer, Goldust, and The Hurricane defeated Vance Archer, Zack Ryder, and Ezekiel Jackson. Solid match with superb heel/face tactics really getting the crowd hyped. I imagine Triple H was smiling at how ecstatic the crowd was for such jobbers.

Sheamus came out to massive heat (lots of kids and redneck Cena fans ) . He issued an open challenge to anyone in the back. Cue Evan Bourne! This was quite a tremendous match and Evan Bourne is fucking amazing. Sheamus landed the Warrior's Edge to get the win and Triple H would be proud that his fellow Kliq member, Scott Hall, had his move stolen and it is getting over.

ECW CHAMPIONSHIP: Christian def. William Regal

I was the only one cheering William Regal. USA chants started and I asked some hick next to me if he knew that the only American in the ring was the referee. (Scott Armstrong and Jack Doan were the only refs at this show and they did a tremendous job. I believe Mr. Armstrong looked at me after applauding his stern warning to Christian about closed fists!) Anyway, Christian won and then proceeded to kiss the fans asses like the unoriginal douche that he is. Great wrestler, but he has done the same shit since 2005...he needs to learn to reinvent himself like Triple H does every couple of years.

INTERMISSION -- I considered purchasing a Frito Pie and a DX Cowboy Hat but both were insanely overpriced...those fucking DX glowsticks are 10 bucks. Vince McMahon is a fucking genius. (DUH)

SmackDown! vs RAW Tag Team Match: Matt Hardy/Kane def. Legacy. Legacy played chickenshit heels and interacted with the crowd very well. Working with DX truly helped them. Matt Hardy has a lot of energy, but the whole match was building to Kane chokeslamming shit. Kane did and got the 2nd biggest pop of the night. (Next only to The Cerebral Assassin)

Kofi Kingston def. Jack Thwagger --> Awesome match, and Kofi is fucking electric. Great finish when Kofi escaped the gutwrench powerbomb and landed the Trouble In Paradise. Kofi was #3 on the Pop-O-Meter. I can't wait to see Kofi turn heel in a couple of years and feud with Triple H.

Drew McIntyre came out and cut a promo about how we are all rednecks and lucky to see him. Enter...some jobber. The skinny pissed off Scottish man grunted and growled his way into a victory. Triple H was probably thinking "weaksauce". Now, we get to a huge matchup.

DIVAS MATCH (Guest Ring Announcer: Jillian Hall) Mickie James def. Beth Phoenix. Beth is a huge woman, and Mickie's ass is STUPENDOUS. Same shit they do on RAW, so I took this time to heckle Cena fans.

Now, this is the momen't we've been waiting for... (PLAY BY PLAY TO FOLLOW)

FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE -- TRIPLE H DEF. RANDY ORTON

Tony Chimel (Boo!) informs us all that there will be NO COUNTOUTS! NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! AND FALLS WILL COUNT ANYWHERE!!!

Randy Orton comes out to boos and drunken cheers from all the women over 30 in the audience. He stares a lot...very dull.

"The Game" hits as the Fairgrounds Entertainment Center comes UNGLUED!

Triple H comes out with the cool lights and his bottle of water. He spits and we are in awe.

Triple H makes his way to the ring and spits on half the people and they are healed by the holy water.

Triple H does his corner thing and I make eye contact with The King of Kings. I bow before him.

Triple H and Randy Orton begin exchanging punches as I witness a WrestleMania main event in my shitty hometown.

The build-up is fantastic as Triple H plays a perfect face and Orton doesn't fuck it up like Cena would.

Orton finds a trashcan and blasts HHH with it. Orton goes for another one, but HHH counters and blasts the tanned prettyboy pussy with the garbage can.

Triple H tries to pedigree RKO, but Cody and Ted ruin Hunter's Excellent Adventure...UNTIL KOFI COMES IN TO MAKE THE SAVE.

We get a clusterfuck brawl until HHH knocks out Legacy and Orton RKO's Kofi (Kofi sold it like DDP hit it).

Orton does his whole stare shit while HHH grabs a sledgehammer from under the ring, and I slowly feel aroused.

Triple H blasts the tattooed pissant. ORTON KICKS OUT! (DRAMA) They exchange punches and counter finishers until finally the pedigree plants Orton back to the midcard. Triple H wins and the place is rocking now.

Triple H goes around the ring and takes pictures with children and shakes hands and is being a awesome 5-Star human being. The lights go up, and my heart is pounding, my mind running, and my soul transformed.

Overall an great show, and I was amazed at the effort every superstar put in and it was probably the best show they done here, match wise (they have only been here 4 times though.)

I was disappointed as Cena, Jericho, etc weren't there. I wanted to boo the everliving shit out of Cena and markout for Jericho. Alas, the King didn't let me down.

I give the show a sold rating of:

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.
