Hey gang;
I thought it'd be fun to jog our memories to see how much we can remember about the first live show that we attended.
I remember a lot of mine, for the most part... Bear in mind that this took place in February of 1988. Geez, nearly 27 years ago. Anyway, this was a house show in Boise, Idaho.
S.D. Jones pinned Luscious Johnny V. Outlaw Ron Bass pinned Brady Boone Dangerous Danny Davis pinned Sam Houston WWF Women's Tag Team Champions Jumping Bomb Angels defeated the Glamour Girls (Kai/Martin) by pinfall... I don't remember who pinned whom, or even the names of either of the Angels. The Ultimate Warrior and Hercules Hernandez fought to a double count-out Ken Patera pinned one of the members of Demolition (either Ax or Smash; memory's a bit fuzzy). Whichever member that did NOT wrestle was on the outside of the ring. Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Ted DiBiase & Virgil (with Andre the Giant) via pinfall. I'm about 90% sure that Hulk pinned Virgil.
What memories do you good folks have?

The three matches I distinctly remember are hogan vs sid, savage vs roberts, and Bret Hart vs the mountie.

My first WWE card ever was this...
WWF @ London, Ontario - London Gardens - November 26, 1994
Duke Drose defeated the Brooklyn Brawler Bob Holly fought the 1-2-3 Kid to a draw The Smoking Gunns defeated the Heavenly Bodies WWF Women's Champion Bull Nakano defeated Alundra Blayze Jim Neidhart defeated Doink the Clown Owen Hart defeated Adam Bomb Lex Luger defeated Tatanka
and the thing that sucks the most, that the same night that I seen that card, this happened...
WWF @ New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden - November 26, 1994 (7,300)
Diesel (sub. for Bret Hart) pinned WWF World Champion Bob Backlund in a No DQ, no count-out, no time-limit match to win the title at the 9-second mark following a boot to the midsection and a powerbomb; Diesel's involvement in the match was not announced until WWF Superstars aired that morning; it was announced on local TV during the Nov. 5-6 weekend that Randy Savage would be the guest referee for the originally scheduled Hart vs. Backlund match but that announcement was never mentioned again
So where as Diesel was one of my favourite wrestlers, I missed out on seeing him win the WWE Title, instead I got to see Lex Luger battle Tatanka haha Oh well

I didn't become a fan until 2000 and didn't get to see a show until 2003.
I saw Brock Lesnar absolutely crush John Cena, Team Angle beat Los Guererros and Booker T beat Big Show.
It was a good show.
Billy Kidman was involved too, I think he may have beaten Paul London.

Do not remember anything from my first show other then the Highway to Hell video package with Austin and Taker.
Greatest video package of all time, its such a shame we'll probably never see it again without being dubbed over.

February 5, 1987. Blackjack Mulligan won a bunkhouse battle royal. Lanny Poffo wore a suit of armor. I still have a Poffo Frisbee.
Main event: Piper pinned Adrian Adonis, w/ Jimmy Hart. I can clearly recall the last minute of this match like it was yesterday.

Mine was a house show in 1987. I have photos and the actual card printout somewhere. Back when you used to get a program for $3, they had the printed card for the local event inside. Macho Man and Honky Tonk with Jimmy Hart teamed up against Steamboat and George The Animal!
