Last night went to the Sacramento house show and it was awesome.
My favorite part was this little kid who hated every single heel that wrestled but absolutely despised Swagger and Sandow.

The weirdest thing that I witnessed on a house show was when Yoshi Tatsu's entrance theme was, inexplicably, "Red Red Wine" by UB 40.

Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero lost the Tag Titles on a house show, but then told the ref that whoever got pinned has his leg on the bottom rope. The ref restarted the match and Eddie and Rey retained.
At no point in time was either Mysterio nor Guerrero's feet on or under any of the ropes.

I don't really have any good people stories... The best I can remember is a kid next to me freaking out and screaming to his dad "IT'S THE BOOGEYMAN!" (It was Goldust)
My most memorized live story is between ECW Champ Jack Swagger and Finlay. Swagger called Hornswoggle a "Rolo eating troll" and when Finlay tried to do something, Swagger blasted him with multiple chair shots. Finlay proceeded to instantly no sell and kicked Swagger's ass, then he and Swoggle danced around ringside for the next 10 minutes before intermission.

Before a show in 2008, I was outside before the doors opened watching the wrestlers come in, this one guy started heckling MVP, MVP put down his luggage, went towards him (the guy was up above, MVP was down on ground level near the parking garage) and started cutting a promo on the guy. MVP basically replied to the fan yelling "you suck" over and over again by saying "You say I suck? If I suck so much why are you wasting your breath on me? Why are you up there looking down on me? If I sucked so much, you wouldn't be paying your hard earned money seeing me perform." Then when the guy retorted about not paying to see MVP specifically, MVP replied back "Sure, you may think that, but what you don't realize is that you help line mine pockets whenever you go to a show. You see this watch? YOU helped pay for that! You see this necklace? YOU helped pay for that! You see this jacket? YOU helped pay for that! So you may think I suck, but you're paying to see me suck and I'm making a lot of money doing so." It was his best promo he's ever cut as a heel. Here's a photo I took of it.  |

I saw a some get hot at Randy Orton from a distance when he mooned him in the car park
What I say "get hot" I don't mean he was aroused, he was pissed off.

I have a few favorites.
One was at a Raw house show. Randy Orton was wrestling someone whom I can't remember. Orton had him in the patented Orton rear chin lock when this fan in the front row started going ballistic on Orton, how he sucks, doesn't deserve to be in WWE, etc. Orton had a full on conversation with the fan, saying how the fan pays his salary and generally heeling on him. It was the best promo I've seen Randy ever cut.
On a WWECW house show, CM Punk was in the ring and a fan stood up during a quiet portion of the match and screamed "there is no god and the cage wasn't 30 feet!" (referencing the Punk/Teddy Hart beef from ROH) causing Punk to stop what he was doing and shake off a laugh.

I was at a Smackdown taping in 2008 where the entire ground section kept chanting for Lil Naitch every time Charles Robinson was out to ref a match. At one point, several of us tried getting him to do the Flair strut and one drunk dude in the front row yells out something to the effect of "Nobody wants to see the strut" and everyone in ear shot started booing the dude heavily. Unfortunately, the lights came back on to signal the next match just as it looked like he was going to do the strut and he didn't come back out.  |

The last show I went to Daniel Bryan had run out to save CM Punk from a beat down from the Wyatts, once they had chased them off Daniel Bryan picked up a kendo stick that Punk had been beating Paul Heyman with before hand. CM Punk picked up a microphone and asked Bryan "Is that a stick in your hand?" to which Bryan replied "Why yes sir it is" then they both started laughing, it was just awesome seeing two of my favourite wrestlers having a joke and laughing together.
Also John Cena cut a promo at the end and said "A lot of you came here thinking that this would be the night that I would turn heel" then turned to the section that I was sitting in, I happened to be the only one in the section booing him which made him look at me then start laughing.

At a house show in early September of last year, I got to see Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk in an awesome match. Although Punk had turned heel nearly over two months before, he wrestled as a face. Bryan (in the middle of his "NO!" stage) kept screaming "NO! NO! NO!" when we kept chanting "YES!". During the match they both would get on the mic and Bryan yelled at us, saying that he is doing anger management and the crowd isn't helping. Then later he would beat up Punk while saying "Do I have a goatface?" on the mic and Punk just starts corpsing and says "Hahaha.... yes you do!". Later Punk did Hogan's "YOU!" thing and hit a leg drop on Bryan.

My dad took me to my first live event in 1992. In the audience were two guys dressed like Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect. Their costumes were really good -- one had a robe like Flair's and the other made his own "Mr. Perfect" jacket with the sparkly letters. So the guy dressed as Perfect held up a sign, and a few rows over Dad and I heard a fan shout out this:
"PERFECT YOU MEATHEAD, PUT THAT SIGN DOWN! WE CAN'T GET ANY PICTURES UP HERE!"

Was at a Smackdown house-show in 2004. It was in the middle of a rancid RVD/Rene Dupree match that sucked so much air from the crowd, even the crickets were in want of enthusiasm. Dupree goes for his 19th chinlock in as many seconds, when suddenly "G'wan Robbie, ya' mad bastard!" comes ringing out from the solitary boozehound lost amid a sea of children in the lower sections. It was the sole crowd reaction for that match itself, beyond RVD's entrance and thumbs.

in 2006 Smackdown/ECW tapping. Kane had a match against Kennedy I think. After the match they showed a backstage promo. I want to say it was Sandman promoting fans to vote for him to face Umaga at Cyber Sunday. The whole time the arena was dark. Well the lights came back and Kane was sitting in the ring watching. The arena was quiet and I got "HEY, Kane HERE" people in my section chuckled.
Never saw the show air on TV. But the ECW part had a lot of heckling during a Bob Holly vs. Test match. Which I think may have been one of the most boring matches I saw in person. Fans chanted "TNA", "Boring", "This match sucks" and ext. I was begging the match to end.

At the show I went to earlier this year, Fandango had a match with Yoshi Tatsu. This was about a month or 2 before he debuted on TV, so most of the crowd didn't really care/know about him. When Fandango got on the apron, he completely broke character and asked "You guys awake?" in his regular voice because the crowd was so quiet.

During a Smackdown show around 2004 in Detroit, I was sitting at the ramp and Taker's entrance smoke destroyed me for about 15 minutes. It was pretty bad for the rest of the area, too. Also, I saw John Cena's PPV Debut at Vengeance 2002, but that's not terribly exciting.

Went to the DX Tour in 2009 in London and the 02 Arena were selling DX glowsticks for a rip off price of £7. Later in the night Chris Jericho got pelted by one and then everybody started to throw their glowsticks at him after he incited the crowd. It was hilarious.

On whatever the tour Smackdown did of the UK in 2009 was called (think it might have been the Rest In Peace tour) which was being headlined by Punk and Taker in a casket match I waited around the back of the arena and saw the two busses (one for faces, one for heels) come in. Undertaker was sat on the face's bus dressed in his American Bad Ass era attire, I was shocked as I thought Taker was the one guy around that time who would keep kayfabe (Ie he diddn't appear on screen at the hall of fame or give interviews for DVD's)
Also a car with blacked out windows followed the busses in, it was fun speculating who was in it with the crowd of people stood around.
Also saw a TNA house show in 2010 just after Hulk Hogan had come in and removed the six sided ring, the house show was great though, none of Hogans lackies were there, they used the 6 sided ring (even though it had been written off the tv show) AJ Styles wrestled as a face even though on TV he was doing the wannabe Ric Flair heel schtick, basically for that one tour TNA turned back time a few months and it was freaking awesome. Also saw Rob Terry win the Global title (a title change on a house show is amazing because its unexpected, even if it was a shitty title)
