worst main event at a house show you have seen

[italliansausagepat]

Mine was summer of 1995. Bam bam va Tatanka in a native american strap match which Bam bam won after tatanka drop kicked bam bam into the turnbuckle.

[Triple Kelly]

Lex Luger Vs. Tatanka (Buffalo) at a WWF house show in early 1995.

It was so awful (the whole show) that it turned me off of wrestling entirely for many many many years.

Hmm, honestly only saw 2 shows live, so i'm guessing a tag match between Steve Austin and Cactus Jack vs Triple H and I wanna say Billy Gunn. That was leading up to WM14, and HBK wasn't doing house shows because of his back in retrospect, since it was billed to originally be HBK and Triple H. Still a fun match, but the other house show I went to was main evented By Shawn Michaels (face) vs Steve Austin (heel).

[italliansausagepat]

If i may ask, who won that match between face shawn and heel austin?

[Thrillho]

Shawn Michaels & Muhammed Hassan vs a fire alarm.

LOL! I am intrigued so whats the story with this one?

[MWC]

Great Kahli vs. Kane in a lumberjack match

[Dean-o]

I only been to 1 house show in my life, and the main event was John Cena (C) vs. Edge in a No DQ match. The ONLY weapon used in the entire match was the microphone. Yes, the mic.

However, I also was treated to the first match of DX a month or 2 before they reunited on Raw. They took on The Spirit Squad on a 5 on 2 match. No pyro or anything, but they came out to DX music and the arena turned on green lights. It was cool to see.

The one house show I went to I believe in '97 was headlined by The Undertaker vs. Bret "The Hitman" Hart, so...I have little room to complain. Now the UNDERCARD, eh.

[noleafclover1980]

If I recall... Austin won by a roll up when Bret Hart came out and distracted Shawn. I remember it ended with Bret beating up on Shawn and putting him in a sharpshooter. Keep in mind this was before Bret had even officially turned. Bret had a match earlier that evening with Vader.

[Cry Me a Wiggle]

I went to a WCW house show in 1999 that was headlined by Vincent vs. Jerry Flynn in an exploding anus match.

Or maybe that was an episode of WCW Saturday Night I had seen after downing a dozen tequila shots.

[héad.casé]

Undertaker vs Kane - Mayhem in Manchester house show a week after Wrestlemania 14. We see Taker getting beat up by DX on his way to the ring, and Taker wasn't even in his ring gear, he was in a cut off denim shirt and jeans (think early Biker Taker, that's what he looked like)...apparently there was a mix-up with the bags containing his gear.

He fought off DX, Kane got some heat on him, and Taker fought back and got the win with a Tombstone in a match that I don't even think lasted 5 minutes. Whether that was a time issue, I don't know. Even though we had Austin vs Triple H in a WWF Title Match before the interval, I felt ripped off by Taker vs Kane...especially after I saw them have the match they did at Mania the week before where it took THREE Tombstones to keep Kane down.

It wasn't really a house show since the WWE was taping a bunch of syndicated shows that day but they also had some non-televised matches. The main event was Diesel vs. a tired Yokozuna in a steel cage match. Yokozuna was subbing for an injured Sid and this was the third match he had wrestled on the show with the other two matches being tag matches where he teamed with Owen Hart.

they'd have been better off putting Owen in it. More endurance and he could fit through the door.

when I was a kid, and wasn't even into WCW, my dad took me to a house show...mainevent Goldberg vs a very very very slim Big Show..Big Show got crushed in 5 minutes

[Mr T L Wolf]

Legends indy show ended in a Battle Royal because, allegedly, King Kong Bundy broke his arm the weekend before. Why they didn't just announce this at the beginning and end it with Hacksaw's match, I'll never know.

However, I did get to meet a young up-and-comer named Matt Striker at the same show.

[theganzobomb]

RVD versus Test I mean it was an ok show but was not the best as you had mostly lower card guys there like Funaki Hurricane Tajiri Val Venis Hugh Morrus Shawn Stasiak and a very young Randy Orton. They also had a tag team match between the Hardys and Stevie Richards and Dreamer.

[sg360]

I went to a Smackdown taping in Feb this year. It was a double taping and it had am advertised dark match that changed several times (from particapents to gimmicks) and ended up being Big Show vs. Taker in a casket match. No lie, it lasted under 2 minutes. They did their entrances, there were two moves done, and that was it. Big Show pretty much rolled himself in, Taker left, and Big Show did about two minutes of comedy.

It was horrible.

November 1st, 1996: The Outsiders vs. Harlem Heat for the WCW World Tag Team titles. (Back when it was revolutionary and kinda cool to be "nWo 4 Life".) Nash got Harlem Heat DQed when he used an "international object" and tucked it in Stevie Ray's tights while being pinned. Not really anything to write home about; well, except the part after the referee's decision where Booker T said (and I quote) "This city [Hammond, IN] is full of the most racist bunch of [plural form of a multi-syllabic expletive deleted] I've ever seen in my life! You can all kiss my [singular multi-syllabic expletive deleted] ass and drop dead!"

Sure, Book, we cheer the nWo just because they're white, not because they're cooler.

I also saw a main event where Ric Flair, Sting & Arn Anderson wrestled the Great Muta, the Dragon Master and Buzz Sawyer in a six-man match. Muta wrestled like 2 minutes and the other guys just moved like they had cement in their shoes.

[DavidArquette]

Kane vs Chris Benoit for the WHC in early '04. The match itself was like an average midcard match, the crowd popped during the entrances but were quiet during the match and what made the match look even worse was that Triple H and HBK were on just before the main event and literally stole the show.
