My first WWF event was way back in the mid 80's when Hogan was champion and he faced Terry Funk, also saw Steamboat vs Magnificent Muraco, Roddy Piper vs JYD, Adrian Adonis was there and got a coke thrown in his face so security made an entire aisle of people leave lol.
I remember another time going to the Anaheim convention center and seeing Hogan vs Bossman in a cage, a few of us went up to the guard rail after the show and Slick who was Bossman's manager at the time said "get those white boy MF'ers back" lol. Those events were when I was in middle school and high school.
I used to go to WWE events quite often, saw matches like Undertaker vs Yokozuna in a casket match, which was cool because that was the first live event I had been to where they actually upped the production values and had the lighting rig over the ring making it look like lightning flashing when taker was coming out. One thing that was really sad about that night is they had a Paul Bearer "look-alike" contest and this little kid who had to be under 10 came to the ring in the black suit and carrying an urn and once he started trying to talk like Paul everyone booed the s*** out of him, I'm sure the kid cried because he had a full arena basically telling him he sucked lol.
Later in my 20's I had a friend who worked at Jakks Pacific who made WWE action figures at the time and he got me comp tickets to the Pond in Anaheim every time WWE was there. One of those events was a RAW taping which was pretty cool, they were pretty bad seats that night and we were up in the top level, you could still feel the heat from Kane's pyro all the way up at the top of the arena.
I also went to a live WCW event at the LA forum, it was a "non televised Nitro" event so they brought the Monday Nitro stage and everything but the show wasn't televised.
I've been watching New Japan lately and I'm enjoying it, I like how the crowds don't try to hijack the show the way American crowds do these days and the performers really seem to go all in.
