I think my first wrestling show was the November 4, 1987 at the Halifax Forum. I went with my younger sister and our brother-in-law who was a fan alongside us.
We sat in the bleachers in the upper bowl; tickets were $5 a piece, I think; ringside was $9 a pop. I can't remember much of the card, but Butch Reed was on the cover of the official WWE Program, if memory serves. The actual card was printed on a separate sheet of paper and inserted into the program magazine.
That place was magic then, an old, cavernous hockey arena with arched hallways. What they've with the interior since breaks my heart. I was last there for the Raw house show in August 2017; the interior is buttressed with steel reinforcement beams that absolutely wrecks the interior. The stage area meant that a good 1/4 of the area was empty because tickets weren't sold for that area, but they could have been, I think. Fibbledy-floo.
WWF in 1987 was the bomb, though - there's a Hunter S. Thompson quote that comes to mind when I remember that period of my life.

'One Night Only', September '97 with Bret Hart vs Undertaker in the main event. Bret was my hero, & I was quite upset how all the older kids were cheering for Undertaker!

Raw draft show 2007 in Wilkes-Barre. Khali is HUGE in person. Umaga burned his feet on the ramp where King Bookah had his Pyro go off. I saw myself on tv holding multiple signs such as "Raw is punk" before his match with carlito, and "KENNEDY" after Kennedy was drafted. Then Vince blew up because Paul London smiled. Oh and Mark Henry vs. Big Daddy V got a HUGE pop for their showdown in the battle royal.

I went to a house show at Copps Coliseum in I believe May of 1993 I was very young, I don’t remember the card and have never been able to locate results online. I know Virgil was on the show because I have some pictures from it and even though he’s tiny in it I can make out his candy cane tights.
If anyone has the results to this you would be my new best friend!

March 2006 in Wellington, New Zealand. It was the Smackdown Road to Wrestlemania tour. Went with my mum because my brother always did stuff like that with my dad so i chose to take her so she didn't get left out. She couldn't quite understand the "Wooooo" chants. Was a fun night.

Matinee show at the Spectrum in Philly, January 92.
I remember nothing about the actual show because I was still in shock from watching Superstars that morning.
It was the day they aired Marty cowardly jumping through The Barbershop Window.
