I saw Kurt Angle in a dark match at a Smackdown taping in Philly in Nov, 1999. It was a few weeks before his Survivor Series debut. I don't remember who he wrestled, but I could tell from there the guy was solid in the ring. Made me pretty hyped to see him come to TV and planted the seeds that would make me a fan of his during his entire WWE duration.

Randy Orton and Rico Constantino vs. Brock Lesnar and Ron H20 Waterman I believe I saw this same match at a Smackdown taping, but I'm not sure. All I remember is Lesnar and Waterman. I was so sad when Waterman got dropped Oh, and I saw Ryback beat JTG at a house show a couple years ago. Ryback played heel and I was the only one going nuts for him. Guess no one remembered Skip Sheffield at that point.

The dark match I went to for an ECW/Smackdown taping in 2008 was R-Truth vs Kenny Dykstra. It was a couple weeks (?) before Truth officially debuted, I believe.

I saw IRS on a house show before he debuted. Of course he had been Mike Rotundo in WWF in the 1980s. I remember one guy yelling repeatedly, "Mike Rotunda! Mike Rotunda!"
I saw Tatanka (wrestling as Chris Chavis) on a house show before he debuted.

at a 2008 ECW/SmackDown taping, I saw Johnny Curtis beat Armando Estrada. Curtis would later go onto to becoming everyone's favorite creep.

I saw Laz work a dark match at a WCW Worldwide taping back in 1998 when they did the tapings at Universal Studios. I knew that guy was going to a huge star someday soon.
Wait....who the f*** was Laz? Does anyone outside of me actually remember this guy?

He did some dark matches as well as televised jobs on Heat and Velocity from 2002 to 2004 (when he joined TNA). He was most frequently used whenever WWE was in Eastern Canada.
