My first show was in August of 1992. There were a few advertised matches, but we found out while we were on the way to the show that it was gonna be a TV taping. So in addition to the advertised matches we saw a bunch of matches taped for Wrestling Challenge, PrimeTime Wrestling, and The Summerslam Spectacular ( or something like that). We were there all night.
Some of the highlights were Ultimate Warrior vs Papa Shango Randy Savage vs Kamala Bret Hart vs Skinner Undertaker vs Berzerker Ultimate Warrior / Randy Savage vs Nasty Boys
The Headshrinkers were there before they showed up on TV and were introduced as The Head Hunters.
Also in action were Ric Flair, Natural Disasters, Money Inc, Legion of Doom, Big Boss Man, Rick Martel, Crush, Razor Ramon

WWF @ Kalamazoo, MI - Wings Stadium - March 13, 1985 Bret Hart defeated Jerry Valiant WWF Women's Champion Leilani Kai defeated Wendi Richter Jim Neidhart defeated Rick McGraw Tony Atlas fought Bob Orton Jr. to a draw Don Muraco defeated Ivan Putski Andre the Giant & George Wells fought Big John Studd & Ken Patera to a draw
The only things i remember are that Bret Hart was in the first match (because we had a kid on our high school football team with the same name) and seeing Andre! Funny that i always remember it being a handicap match vs Studd and Patera.

I looked it up because some matches I couldn't remember, but the website I found had it WRONG!
WWE (Smackdown!) @ Macon, GA - Centreplex - September 4, 2005 WWE US Champion Chris Benoit defeated Orlando Jordan ^This was when Benoit was beating Jordan on TV in a matter of seconds. Benoit actually lived the next town over from where I am from, so he had his wife and son with him at this event and I saw them before the show. A bit strange and sad looking back now...
Mike & Todd Shane defeated Derrick Neikirk & Mike Knox ^This match did NOT happen. I think there was confusion because Mike & Todd Shane were wrestling in DSW at the same time as Neikirk & Knox (who were awesome as Team Elite and I really wanted to see tag together on the main roster), but it was actually Mike Taylor and Tony Santorelli (High Impact) who wrestled Team Elite that night. I had never heard of either team, but this was a GREAT match. DSW opened up a week or two later and I started going every week and these guys were awesome. High Impact could have made waves in the tag division, but sadly it didn't happen. Team Elite as well, though Knox was a standout and highly underrated.
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Nunzio defeated Brian Kendrick and Juventud Guerrera ^Another fun match. Kendrick hadn't returned to WWE TV yet, so him being there was a surprise. He was wearing Spanky gear. I tried starting a Spanky chant, but it didn't pick up. He acknowledged it though, which 13 year old me thought was cool. I also saw Juvi almost back over an arena worker before the show lol
Ken Kennedy defeated Simon Dean ^Kennedy pretended to be hurt, then rolled up Simon Dean. Then Ricky Steamboat (who was a Road Agent) got in his face and they almost fought!
Psychosis & Super Crazy defeated William Regal & Paul Birchill ^I only vaguely remember this match. I got to meet Super Crazy before the show and Regal several months later at DSW. Both were cool.
Booker T defeated Christian ^Good match. Booker T and Sharmell got to the arena carrying about 4 bags from Cracker Barrel. No idea why that stood out to me lol
WWE Smackdown! Tag Team Champions Road Warrior Animal & John Heidenreich defeated Johnny Nitro & Joey Mercury ^Don't remember much about this match, filler stuff I believe.
Randy Orton defeated Rey Mysterio Jr. ^Really good match that had a funny start with Orton mocking Mysterio's height. Ended with an RKO off the top rope.
World Heavyweight Champion Batista defeated John Bradshaw Layfield ^Fun main event, I was the only one cheering for JBL. Funnily enough, I would move to Macon to go to college and write for The Layfield Report.
Not bad for my first show. My only gripe was not seeing Eddie Guerrero, who I guess had the night off. Unfortunately, he would die just two months later and I would never get to see him wrestle live.

I found it thanks to Google!
The original King of the Ring tournament. (years before it was pay per view) I still remember the view from my seats center ring but way up in the upper-level. My recollection was that Greg Valentine was IC champ then and not Santana as I remember the guy sitting next to me saying when Steamboat pinned Valentine "too bad that wasn't for the belt" but the site I found the results on listed Santana as IC champ. Oh well, it has been almost 30 years-lol.
King of the Ring 85 - Foxboro, MA - Sullivan Stadium (former home of the New England Patriots) - July 8, 1985 (23,000; 20,000 paid) Opening Round: Jim Brunzell pinned the Spoiler WWF IC Champion Tito Santana defeated Terry Funk via disqualification The Iron Sheik pinned B. Brian Blair Ricky Steamboat pinned Greg Valentine Les Thornton pinned Steve Lombardi Don Muraco pinned the Junkyard Dog Pedro Morales pinned Johnny V Paul Orndorff fought Bob Orton Jr. to a double disqualification Quarter Finals: WWF IC Champion Tito Santana fought Jim Brunzell to a draw; Brunzell won a coin toss to continue The Iron Sheik pinned Ricky Steamboat Don Muraco pinned Les Thornton Semi-Finals: The Iron Sheik pinned Jim Brunzell Don Muraco pinned Pedro Morales Finals: Don Muraco pinned the Iron Sheik Main Event: WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan pinned Nikolai Volkoff

WCW Monday Nitro 5/11/98 Kansas City, MO
Disco Inferno vs. Barry Horowitz Kidman vs. Juventud Scott Norton vs. Yuji Nagata Hugh Morrus vs. Jobber Ultimo Dragon vs. Scotty Swinger Goldberg vs. Glen Detton Saturn vs. Jerry Flynn Fit Finley vs. Rage (TV title) Lenny Lane vs. DDP Sick Boy vs. Glacier Booker T vs. Chris Benoit Macho Man vs. Hollywood Hogan (World Title)
The first one I vividly remember was Slamboree 2000...it just happened to be here, and as terrible an event, that 3 tier cage was cool to see live. The 10 year old me loved ready to rumble, but still thought Arquette as champion was lame

WCW @ Manchester, England - Evening News Arena - March 12, 2000 (16,318; sell out) Norman Smiley defeated Brian Knobbs The Wall defeated David Flair WCW TV Champion Jim Duggan defeated Fit Finlay Curt Hennig & Vampiro defeated Ric Flair & Lex Luger Terry Funk defeated Dustin Rhodes Booker T defeated WCW US Champion Jeff Jarrett via disqualification WCW Tag Team Champions Big Vito & Johnny the Bull defeated Ron & Don Harris
I was 7 and absolutely gutted Sting and Goldberg weren't there, think WCW ended up getting into a spot of bother about how weak the card was. I was also chatting to my dad about it the other day, and he said that the crowd kicked-off during the 'Main Event.'
EDIT: Michael Buffer was flown over to introduce the main event as well,bloody hilarious.

Unfortunately I don't remember. It amazes me that you guys can. I think for the most part, it's easy enough to remember the general timeframe of the event and then just google the results. I don't remember half the card from my first show, but they only ran Birmingham (UK) twice a year and I knew it was the late 1991 tour I went to.

Gosh, I couldn't tell you the exact first one, because I started going to the old NWA tv tapings at TBS studios. They were so scattered, and filmed multiple episodes at once.
First show I can pinpoint that is Starrcade 85 at the Omni in Atlanta.
Krusher Khruschev defeated Sam Houston Singles match for the vacant NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship Ron Bass defeated Black Bart (with James J. Dillon) Texas Bullrope match James J. Dillon (with Black Bart) defeated Ron Bass Texas Bullrope match Buddy Landel (with James J. Dillon) defeated Terry Taylor Singles match for the NWA National Heavyweight Championship Magnum T.A. defeated Tully Blanchard (with Baby Doll) "I Quit" steel cage match for the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) (with Don Kernodle) defeated Ivan and Nikita Koloff (with Krusher Khruschev) Manny Fernandez defeated Abdullah the Butcher (with Paul Jones) Billy Graham defeated The Barbarian (with Paul Jones) by disqualification Billy Graham defeated The Barbarian (with Paul Jones) by disqualification The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson) defeated Wahoo McDaniel and Billy Jack Haynes Jimmy Valiant and Miss Atlanta Lively (with Big Mama) defeated The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Dennis Condrey) (with Jim Cornette) Dusty Rhodes defeated Ric Flair
The first WWF card I went to wasn't until many years later. Being in Georgia, the WWF didn't come here very often at all. So the first WWF show I went to was RAW in 1999.
Mr. Ass (w/ The Road Dogg) defeated Crash Holly (w/ Hardcore Holly) (0:49) Mae Young defeated Ivory by DQ (0:01) Christian & Edge [2] vs. The New Brood (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) [1] ended in a double DQ in a Terri Runnels Invitational Tornado Tag Team Match # 4 (4:43) X-Pac defeated Faarooq (w/ Bradshaw) (3:24) The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher) defeated Chris Jericho & Curtis Hughes (3:24) The Godfather (w/ Hos) defeated Mark Henry in a Ho-Jack Match (1:26) The Big Show defeated The Big Bossman by DQ (0:35) Chyna & Triple H vs. Jim Ross & Steve Austin ended in a no contest (8:00) The British Bulldog & Val Venis vs. The Rock 'n' Sock Connection (Mankind & The Rock) ended in a no contest

I don't remember half the card from my first show, but they only ran Birmingham (UK) twice a year and I knew it was the late 1991 tour I went to. My very first wrestling shows were CWA/USWA events. I was so young that I only remember key moments of said events. My first WWF related event was either late 99 or early 2000. It was the night I met HBK. First Raw was Feb of 2002. The night of the vow renewal between Steph and Trips.
