After watching the Chris Jericho Raw debut in the other thread, it got me to thinking.
Represent your city. Let us know what big-time moments happened there.
Chicago: Jericho's Raw debut. Rock challenges Hulk Hogan to a match at WM X8, and is accepted. One Wrestling Classic PPV. Three WrestleManias. (My list is incomplete, as I'm not as up-to-date on some things as I should be.)
I would guess New York City would have the most, but I'm just looking for your city and the stuff that happened there.

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.

At least 85% of big ECW moments, including its birth, happened here in Philadelphia.
One Wrestlemania (Austin beats Rock for the title), a Summerslam (Hulk beats Quake), this past Survivor Series (ummm..CM Punk got a loud pop), a Rumble (Benoit wins), an In Your House (The HBK/Mankind match) and maybe the worst PPV ever (King Mabel is crowned).

Wheeling, West Virginia (About and hour and half drive for where I lived): Kevin Nash debuts in WCW. This is when nWo really began to take off.
I was in the middle section with my father and uncle and we were on camera all night.

Baltimore, MD. Where Goldust burned his wig, and was VISIBLY and AUDIBLY called gay by a man sitting close to an entrance ramp. And his reaction to it was gold.

Pittsburgh PA in no particular order
Summerslam 95 which saw the likes of a King Mable vs. Diesel main event. But also Razor vs. HBK ladder match 2. Foley off the cell. Barbed wire cage match HHH vs. Benoit ironman match from Raw Angle winning a title.
Shane Douglas beating Bam Bam for the ECW title November to Remember PPV The infamous Sting vs. Goldberg house show showdown.
And this is only speculation but Teddy Long might have made someone fight The UNDERTAKAH!!

Amarillo was a fairly big wrestling city back before I was born, I think Verne Gagne won one of his AWA Titles here, so there was a World Title change in my city, if anything else big happened here in Amarillo it was before my time
