Is there a house show thread or could we benefit from one?

I think it would be cool for people to share their experiences and hopefully post pics of house shows they go to.

Speaking of house shows, I'm still pissed that WWE hasn't done any televised house shows on the Network. They floated that idea as something that they'd be able to do when they started the Network, and except for Beast in the East, the one MSG thing and that very first RoadBlock.....there's been zero house shows on the Network. Starrcade would have been a great time to do that, but they didn't do it.

WWE Network is kinda starting to suck because they are losing money and killing all of the original Network shows that were a huge part of it a few years ago. And I'm not saying I think every house show should be aired, that would be way too expensive and on one house show loop pretty much every RAW house show is the same and every Smackdown house show is the same. But I'm saying that maybe ONCE every month and a half maybe, air ONE RAW house show and ONE Smackdown house show.

OR, once like every 2 or 3 months have a SUPERSHOW house show like a Starrcade and air it.

Yeah, the PPV's are cheap, yeah you get NXT and yeah you have access to the tape library....but I just don't feel I'm getting that much ORIGINAL or live content from the Network anymore.

I think a house show/live event thread would be good.

I say if people wanna talk about past experiences too at those shows they can. It would just be a neat place to read some cool stories.

It would be nice to have everyone's experiences consolidated into one thread.

Give this one a chance, guys. Because reading about your experiences, however different they may be, is always a nice read.

Sounds good to me. We have members from all around the world and at least some are consistently going to house shows, so I don’t see a reason not to.

Told this on here before, but... My favorite house-show experience was here in Altoona PA. The match was Christian vs Bubba Ray in a tables match. There were only two people (me being one of them) cheering for Christian. Luckily for me, the other just happened to be sitting beside me.

After a while Bubba power-bombs through the table for the win. SLAM. Table doesn't break. Bubba looks surprised and Christian looked well... dead. So then Bubba picks Christian up and slams him into the table again. Nothing. Now Bubba looks annoyed. So he sets it up in the corner. Whips Christian into it and yet again... nothing. After a couple more attempts Bubba now has had enough. He just leaves.

After a minute or so Christian starts getting to his feet. Before he does, Bubba Ray comes flying out with a small piece of particleboard. He whips it across Christian's back. It breaks. Ref calls it.

Lost my voice because I wanted Christian to feel appreciated.

I went to a few house shows. My first was in 2005 up in white plains ny for a Smackdown show! I remember Matt Hardy was supposed to face Booker T in a No DQ match and Booker got injured early on. I know Batista was in the main event but I can't remember against who. It might have been either Orton or Mr. Kennedy. It may have even been a tag match.

I've been to one of the biggest shows this year,(Royal Rumble), Raw, Smackdown, and a live event. Mind you, the one I went to took place the same night as No Mercy, so it was nowhere near a packed house, but I can honestly say I had the most fun at the live event. I was able to see the superstars in an entirely new light. Without the handicap of time constraints or being live on tv having to play to the camera, it was a much more fun atmosphere. I was also 2nd row, ringside, therefore, the fan interaction was incredible. I basically had a full conversation with Xavier Woods, Dolph Ziggler verbally owned a fan sitting to the left of me, Mike Kanellis blew a kiss to the woman seated next to me, AJ Styles almost landed in my lap, Shinsuke Nakamura lifted the child in front of me up over the baracade and paraded around ringside with him, he also dropped a fans cell phone. It was a blast. I highly recommend going to one if given the opportunity.

I love this idea for a thread.

My best house show experience was in spring of 1997, I got to see DDP Vs The Macho Man in the main event. DDP beat Randy in the main event, even though Hall and a couple of other nWo members did a failed run-in. It was my first ever wrestling show going to and it was truly a magical experience that I will never forget. My dad and mom bought me an nWo teddy bear that night and I still have it.

marino13 seems like everyone agrees. Time for a sticky?
