NYC-a s***Load of stuff that happened over the years, wouldn't even know where to begin. Of course nowadays, it's not as rampant with activity because WWE hardly runs at MSG anymore.

Yeah, a shitload has happened in NYC, both with and without me being attendance.
One that will always stick out in my mind, however, was being in the crowd and watching a D-Lo accidently ended Droz's career.

Toronto, Canada
Hogan loses (once to Warrior, once to Rocky)
and that's all I can remember. There was a Summerslam in 2004 and Unforgiven in 2006, but I doubt anything of grand importance happened, save for Trish's retirement and Orton becoming the youngest WHC.

Tacoma, WA: The Invasion angle fizzles with the Buff Bagwell/Booker T fiasco, Jonathan Coachman named "Executive Assistant", DX starts to fire on all cylinders now.
The 2 good things that happened is that WCW did Spring Stampede 1999 at the Tacoma Dome with great results and Pinnacle Pro Wrestling (the local AWA affiliate) is starting to do shows in Tacoma.

Jeff Hardy reclaiming the intercontinental title.
I always thought No Mercy 1999 was held here which I went to but it turns out that it was a UK-only PPV and the REAL No Mercy 1999 was held in Cleveland, Ohio.
They must have thought that a PPV held in the UK would cause the american public to riot in the streets armed with giant toblerones.

Umm....
Rowdy Roddy Piper had an Indy show here and I think he showed up for all of 2 minutes in 2001 in that event, I got my picture taken with Sabu, and saw Dan Severn... Also, a local football player won a battle royal, eliminating Curt Hennig.

Portland, OR:
HBK entered himself into the World Title match with Benoit and Triple H for WM XX.
Unforgiven 2004 happened here (show that included, among Triple H beating Orton for the title, the stellar -4 stars match between Steven Richards and Tomko).
The Miz was introduced as the "host" of Smackdown for the very first time.
Also on that edition of Smackdown, they had the Piper's Pit with Khali. That episode was also the first one when King Booker had his full entrance, including Regal shouting "All Hail King Booker!," the sitting on the throne and the fireworks, etc.

I grew up in Scarborough Ontario, which is about 30 minutes away from Skydome (if not less), and that's where Warrior beat Hogan and where Rock beat Hogan. I live in New York now. Too many to name. wow, that means almost 50% of Hogan's career losses happened in your home town. It's jinxed I tells ya! Jinxed!! (I kid, I kid)
