The Raw after Wrestlemania 17 was my first. Stone Cold had turned heel the night before, and Triple H joined him in the start of the Power Trip.

My first live wrestling event I was in high school and a teacher got me and a few other students in to work as ushers. It was a WCW event and my main memory is that when we first went into the arena before the show Ric Flair was working with David flair and his opponent on how his match would play out that night. It ended with a figure four leg lock and Ric Flair was the referee for the match. The best part was when Ric Flair noticed us he pointed and yelled at us to get out. Yep a group I was with was yelled at by Ric Flair. I really do not remember any other match besides the David Flair one I was working as an usher and had to keep busy.

Wrestlemania 23 was mine. My cousin was able to get some tickets, so I went with him, along with my brother and my cousin's friend. Actually, I was the first one there, because I was dropped off in Detroit coming home from a school trip. I was able to see all the matches, including the dark match, whereas the others got there partway through Money in the Bank.
I think the crowd was disappointed with Cena winning though, at least where I was from. The entire show they booed whenever he appeared on screen. The only time he was cheered was when he actually came out for his match. Regardless, it was an incredible night.

I went to a house show in London in November '96.
I remember:
- Main event was Bret Hart vs Vader. - Stone Cold had a match with...Sid I think. - Undertaker was there, can't remember who he fought. I purchased an Undertaker cap which I still have somewhere. - Bulldog & Owen vs Godwinns. Bulldog & Owen obviously got a huge pop, despite being heels at the time. - Other than that, I can't remember the rest of the card. I'll try and look it up.

I've never been to a WWE show, but I hope to go to TLC in December... My first ever show was a TASW show (local indie fed) a few years ago, when Samoa Joe made an appearance. I had an awesome time! gah..I wanted to go to TLC also but since I already went when RAW came in July I don't have enough in my pocket to go to another wrestling show in the same year sucks balls..but you should defiantly go to experience it ;D

I went to that one also and it was my second WWF show I had been too.
My first was at Wembley Arena in London, September 1994 right after Summerslam. I don't remember much because I was 10 but I had a strange seat it was like 15 rows back and it was hard to see.
I tried walking down to the front and I got to see Owen Hart posing on the turnbuckle while fans threw stuff and at the end Bret Hart was high fiving the fans and I walked all the way to where he was but couldn't get close enough in time.
IRS vs 123 Kid Doink vs Jeff Jarrett Mabel vs Bam Bam Bigelow Razor Ramon and Lex Luger vs HBK and Diesel Crush/w Yoko vs Undertaker in a casket match Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart vs Bret Hart and British Bulldog.
Must of been 2 others but I don't remember them.

first event was Insurrextion 2001, dumb show as they changed every match at the event, despite a different lineup. Still saw Stone Cold and someone rode Taker's bike past us on the way out

A house show in the summer of 1995 in my hometown at the age of 14. Capped off with a main event featuring Undertaker vs. Issac Yankem DDS. Yes, I'm serious.
Funny, all things considered. ;D

My first live event was the episode of Nitro where Bam Bam Bigelow made his debut and Rey Mysterio was forced to join the LWO. That was a Wichita show also.

my first ever live wrestling event was approximately a year after Kerry Von Erich's death. I dont remember much from the event but I do remember getting autographs from Kevin Von Erich, Ice Man King Parsons and Chris Adams.
I also remember a woman - obviously a plant - stealing Ice Man King Parsons "prop" - dont really remember what it was I think it was just a black 2x4 and hiding it under her chair.
I remember one wrestler pinning his opponent, but while he was pinning him he spit a huge loogie in the air and then caught it in his mouth.
I also remember that after Adams won his match he was getting beat down, and we all started chanting for Kevin, and when he came out i swear that the 500 of us that were there sounded like 5000.
Also this event took place in a little town south of Dallas, Texas called Cleburne, Texas
My first and to this date only WWE event was a Smackdown in November of 2004.
I remember Josh Matthews pinning Orlando Jordan.
I remember JBL promising that if he didnt win at Survivor Series he would quit.
Heyman came out and cut a promo for the Heidenreich - Taker survivor series match. And during the promo he took a shot at Tazz. Well Tazz stood up and Heidenreich came out to the ring. Tazz didnt back down he took off his glasses made his way up the steps and then the lights went out and when they came on Taker was in the ring. Heidenreich and Heyman left the ring for the commercial break. But during the break Taker and Heidenreich brawled for a while and Taker got the best of that when he chokeslammed Heidenreich.
ANd finally on this night, Eddie Guerrero announced the return of John Cena by adding him to his Survivor Series team

The first time I was ever able to afford a show was earlier this year. I've been to three WWE shows this year. There's another one this weekend in the area but sadly there's no way in hell I'll be able to afford it.
The first one was in March, and it was the infamous San Francisco house show. It was a great way to start off, haha. I definitely got bitten by the bug. I love going to see wrestling live now.

My first taping was the Raw/Smackdown supershow before WM this year.
I will always remember it for the fact that Edge took way too long to come out to spear Jericho, and when he finally did come, he had toilet paper sticking out of his pants.

My first show was No Way Out 2009. I'm a huge Edgehead and that's the show where he walked in WWE champion and left World Heavyweight champion. Also the show where Shane faced Orton and Triple H set the new record for most WWE titles won.

The first WWE event I went to was Nov 13th 2006 (though I've been a fan since 92). They taped ECW before Raw as well. On ECW it was the night Lashley jumped over from Smackdown to sign up for the Elimination Chamber and on Raw, Rated RKO won the tag belts from Flair & Piper (although Piper had just become ill at the time so they laid him out before the match and he didn't wrestle).

My first event was a RAW Live event that happened the day after Christmas in 2006 in Albany, NY (then the Pepsi Arena). Two major highlights were a F4W Ladder Match with Shelton Benjamin, Carlito, Jeff Hardy, and Johnny Nitro, plus a six man tag that turned NO DQ with DX and Ric flair versus Rated RKO and Kenny. Cena and Umaga was the main event, and it was a damn good main event. Of all Live events I've been to, this is the best one with the one from MSG this past weekend a close second. This was an awesome show. I was there, too. First live event was a WWF show in Glens Falls, NY in 1987. It may was either a house show or a marathon taping. I can't remember, due to being 3.
