First wrestling show you attended

IWW in Ormonde Hotel Kilkenny in 2005 i think.

Johnny Storm was amused with us thinking we were smart shouting for him to chop the irish dragon. He gleefully obliged and chopped the ****e out of the future Terry Thatcher.

Had recently got a dvd of Backyard wrestling 2 and so meeting M Dogg 20 was a delight. I remember him being shocked i knew who Josh Prohibition. Being 16 at the time i was blown away meeting Johnny Storm and M Dogg 20, due to wrestling channel stuff.

Little did I know the main event would include future WWE Champion Shemus, i think he took on Vid Vain.

I remeber CJ Summers also being a Matt Hardy knock off.

2007 or 08 IWW came back with El Generico, Kid Kash and Tracey Smoothers which was cool. But for the first time I seen a lad from kilkenny get in the ring....the undeniable Conor Hurley, think he went up against Ballymun Bruiser!

This link is a cool blast from the past-

WWA in 2001 - http://www.profightdb.com/cards/wwa/dublin-show-november-3901-14031.html

State of the card looking back now but I started watching wrestling in 97 and the WWF and WCW never came over in that era so I couldn't wait to see a show over here finally with some semi decent names. Always remember Nathan Jones being announced from "Dublin, Ireland" to get a pop from the crowd haha

Jeremy Borash doing live commentary at ringside as they were going to sell it as a PPV.

They also had a large screen and that’s when I realised everything on screen seems a lot faster than it actually does in the ring.

My first one was in The Point in either November 04 or around April 05 I can't remember exactly, Undertaker was there it was amazing seeing him, he closed out the show I believe & then at the very end theannounced they were coming back in June 05 in the RDS with a triple threat for the WWE Title with Stone Cold as special guest ref & the place went absolutely mental as you'd expect, the show in the RDS was so good too!

Lawler was supposed to be on commentary with him if I remember correctly but he signed back with WWF around that time. Think Konnan was on commentary with JB in the end.

Highlight of the night though was seeing Bret hart who was "WWA commissioner".

Really great youtube piece on WWA think it was done by Wrestle with Wregret maybe?

The pop that Stone Cold got still gives me goosebumps!The place went absolutely nuts!Seeing over 20000 people being overjoyed at seeing Stone Cold in the flesh was one of the greatest things I have ever experienced!Still get chills!

Still laugh at the end when Cena was having a'Steveweiser' after he won against JBL and Kurt Angle with Stone Cold and got stunned out of his boots!Knew it was coming but funny as hell!

Stone Cold genuinely looked like he was close to tears from the love everyone in the place was giving him while he was on the mic after the match!Even 15 years later I am beaming talking about it!

It was so special being there and seeing Austin and I still feel so lucky to of been there!

Heel Eddie Guerrero was brilliant too and feel really lucky to of been there to see him as well with his passing being only a few months later!He is such a legend and was taken far too soon!Really loved 'Latino Heat'!

1994 show in the point

Remember it was the moment I realised how much I loved hbk and not just hate him cause he was a heel

My first show was the Undertaker RIP tour in the 3Arena in November 2009, was great seeing Taker in person. Quite unusual was both Raw and SD rosters held shows in the 3Arena that month (Raw one was headlined by DX, sadly didn't make it for that one)

Remember won tickets to the RDS show in 2005 but bloody found out too late and couldn't go. Seeing Stone Cold, Kurt Angle and Eddie would of been amazing

Next up is the NXT UK takeover if it ever bloody happens :mad::(

I remember Austin countin how many pints of Guinness he was gonna have hahaha

And then when he was done with all the Guinness, he'd have himself a beer. Absolutely brilliant.

My first was in 2004 in the Point, hope it's okay to post this link:

Couldn't believe I got to see Ric Flair in my first live show, whooooo

Mine was quite good, 20,000 outdoors in the RDS in June 2005. Headlined by Cena vs JBL vs Angle for the title with Stone Cold as the special ref, unreal

Eddie vs Rey was brilliant too, Eddie was such a bástard at the time

I got a kick out of this part of the review.

John Cena came out to a great reaction but I'm not that big a Cena fan. Little kids were chanting for Cena and if that's his fanbase, he's in trouble.

My first one was also 05 in the Point. November I think just after Eddie passed as the crowd was chanting his name. Absolute dirt seats though right at the top behind a pillar so couldn't see anything. Then I got conned out of my seat by someone who had a bum ticket (he told me he'd just be a few minutes and come back, hey I was young ).

I spent some time wondering the foyer when I bumped into someone I knew, they were locked and said come with us we'll get you into where we're sitting....and they did! Just a few rows away from the ring. All I remember then is the crowd screaming wooooooooo at Ric Flair to a ridiculous degree. I think oul Naitch was actually getting pissed off with it!

This was also my first (and last) show I've been to. Angle and HBK had a great match. Cena vs HHH Street fight was good too. Horrified mother with her son next to me was asking if it was real blood :pac:

First show I went to was some Orig Williams show in summer 92 and then WCW on St Patricks Day in 93
