Thought this might be a fun topic. Share some stories from your trips to live wrestling events. Share anything!
One I always laugh about with my brothers was at the RAW after WrestleMania 29, during the commercial break, the fans were going around the building doing roll calls, they did Michael Cole, JBL, Popcorn Guy, Randy Savage, HBK, Kmart…..then the fans went crazy and started a Benoit chant…and then they started a TNA chant which was quickly boo’d out. Immediately realizing what just took place me and my brother immediately looked at each other laughing and said, “they just chanted for the dude that murdered his family with no problem, BUT THE TNA CHANT WAS TOO MUCH!” That was going too far lol. Only in wrestling. I was hoping it was caught on TV but it was during a commercial.

At a house show, we chanted "you suck" at Heyman. He pointed to a guy in the crowd and said "I learned from your father."

I have lots of stories. One fun one was when we got front row tickets once. At one point, Mark Henry was wrestling I don’t remember who. But my friend yelling “You suck!” and every time Mark looked over, my friend pointed at my brother. Then Mark hit his opponent with the World’s Strongest Slam and won his match. As he was getting up, he pointed at my brother and yelled “That’s what I do!”
Same show, the guy next to us had a huge Mexican flag he wanted to hold up when Del Rio came out. He asked us to help him hold it up and we did. Del Rio saw it and came over to high five us. The floor mat ended a bit before the guard rail and Del Rio tripped and fell forward. He started hugging us and patting our backs to play it off.
Also, that same show, Randy Orton was a baby face and he came around to high five people. He stopped at my friend’s girlfriend and said hi to her and gave her a hug. My friend friend was marking out so much

I love reading stuff like this. I went to a TNA House Show at the Atlanta Tabernacle, funny enough, the intro video for Bound for Glory 2011 that year used footage from that house show, and you can see me sitting in the front row as RVD is getting DDT’d lol.(I busted my brothers balls for years after that saying I was part of Bound for Glory). But anyway, my brother was wearing a bWo shirt to the event and during intermission we went down to the lobby to get autographs from the wrestlers. While we were down there, Simon Diamond who was an agent came over to my brother and said “where did you get that shirt? You’re too young to even know what that is”. So I explained that we grew up in NY and we were both chickens to sleep in the dark so we’d keep the tv on at night and would routinely catch ECW on the Empire Sports Network really late at night. We’d call it “real wrestling”. He was like, oh wow you guys are real fans, not those WWE fans lol. We talked to him for about 15 minutes and only stopped because the show was coming back from intermission and he was like, let me get outa here so you can enjoy the show. He was like, you know who I am!? And I was like, of course! I even know that you probably have a problem haha. You’re Simon Diamond, I can even name your finishing move. Anyway though, who would have thought Simon Diamond would hold a special place in my wrestling life, but it was the only time I really had a real conversation with a wrestler, we were talking like we had known each other for years. Truly a nice guy. V me in the BFG intro 😋 Attachment Deleted

I wouldn’t say these are anything big, just little tidbits from house shows I’ve attended. A 2006 house show had a slightly different set up where the ring was on a raised platform so when you’re leaning on the guard rail, you’re also leaning on the ringside floor. Anywhozel, I was leaning on the rail and as King Booker walked past, his cape brushed through my hand. He saw and must have thought I was trying to grab it because he was either furious or going the extra mile as a heel. “Don’t you dare ing touch me” were his exact words while staring at me for a good ten plus seconds. It also didn’t help that he’s well over six foot and on a raised platform so I felt like a child. At a 2008 house show, CM Punk came over to barrier during his entrance so I told him to do a Pepsi Plunge. He laughed and said he’s not allowed to. At a WWAS PPV, WWAS being World Wrestling All Stars which was the gap between WCW and TNA, Jeff Jarrett hit Sting with a guitar in the main event. The show ended so a couple of guys next to me parted the guard rail and took some of the guitar pieces that were in the ring only to find out they were cardboard.

I've only been to a couple of live shows and both were in the early days of the RA era. I was in the audience for the David Flair vs Undertaker match on what I believe was David's only real match in the company. Midway through the match, I did the Daffney scream. Despite my being in the cheap seats, if you listen closely to the match you can hear it on the TV broadcast. I was much more restrained when I was ringside at RAW a year later. That was at the show where Bischoff stomped the cinder block into JR's head. Highlights from that show... - It was insanely cold in the arena. There was a blizzard so bad going on outside that they mentioned it on the TV broadcast and it caused parts of the show to be re-written as certain superstars were stuck elsewhere. Despite this, the talent was wearing their usual attire and, among other examples, Lilian Garcia was visibly shaking from the cold. I called over to her during a break to ask if she was cold (dumb question but I didn't know what else to ask) and she nodded back at me shouting "I'M FREEZING!" - At one point, HBK was handcuffed to the ring post. He looked was looking over to where I was sitting and asked what to do. We shouted for him to break the ringpost. He actually tried to. (All part of the show but neat moment) EDIT: It should be noted that, while it was creatively edited to downplay it on the show, where the key ended up was clearly a botch and you could see from where I was sitting how angry Shawn was that they had dropped it out of his reach. He managed to recover it anyway but yeah. That key was supposed to drop much closer.
EDIT 2: This was the show where Rodney Mack botched and dropped Al Snow on his head. The crowd was equal parts horrified and infuriated. (Al is an Ohio guy.) They had to get Mack TF out of there fast and Al had to be helped to the back during the commercial. Truly scary stuff.
- The highlight (if harsher in hindsight) of the event was that, sitting at ringside in full Hogan cosplay, was this one super skinny fan who showed up to every event that took place in Ohio. Like, you were at a show in Ohio, the guy was there at ringside. Anyway, he's there in full Hogan gear, torn shirt, boa, and all, and when Triple H was in the ring during a break, he noticed the guy. Hunter got a mic, pointed at the guy, and said "Proof positive that Slim-Fast works!" The guy immediately started posing and everyone cheered. It's harsher in hindsight as, I believe it was later found out the guy had cancer (which was why he was so skinny) and at a different event when Hogan himself was in attendance, they brought him into the ring so he could pose with his hero. I wasn't at that one but saw the photos that a friend took. It was pretty cool. I will say that, sadly, that awesome night had a terrible ending as I accidentally lost my camera at the arena and never got it back and, on top of that, our car ended up in a ditch on the way home. We came dangerously close to freezing to death waiting for the tow truck and, by the time we were rescued, my brain, body, and hands were so numb that I dropped my wallet in the snow and didn't realize it until the next morning. One of the best nights of my life that was also almost the last.

That could have gotten real bad real quick, I’m glad to hear you survived it though! At least you would have gone out happy I guess haha, j/k that was a nice read though man, awesome stuff! Why the hell was it so cold in the arena!? I wonder if the heat went out. They were grooming you for your adventure into the ditch later haha

My favorite story was seeing ol’ Moxley, then Ambrose, after a RAW in ‘15. I guess technically the memory didn’t happen at the live event, but close enough. The show was in Nashville and on the way back a friend and I stopped at a Wendy’s within a gas station in southern KY. Moxley was inside, I walked by and said, “Enjoyed the show,” and he replied, “Thanks bro.” In the Wendy’s line Renee was in front of me, unsatisfied with how slow the line was moving. She looked over at Jon in a frustrated manner and got out of line, leaving with him. Guess they decided to go somewhere else. This was the RAW after SVS ‘15 where Ambrose worked Reigns in the tournament final for the strap and Reigns won, only to lose the title to a cashing-in Sheamus.

I just remembered one from an Indy show years ago. Zelina Vega was mainly working in TNA at the time, but she was on this show (there was actually a lot of TNA talent on it). Anyway, when the intermission started, I decided to go to the bathroom. As I walked down the hall toward the bathroom, Zelina Vega walked by me carrying all her gear. She was heading into the women’s bathroom to change for her match.

I was at a house show in 2003 where La Resistance had just debuted on tv a few weeks prior. They didn't have their official theme music yet so I saw them enter to Ludvig Borga's theme song.

I’ll never forget the RAW after Mania 29, the fans were doing the fandango theme all throughout the halls of the building on the way out, we get into the parking garage and people are blaring his theme over the speakers of their cars, we get back to the hotel which was basically across the street from MetLife & people are literally opening their windows in their hotel rooms & singing the theme and doing the dance…the next day we’re driving back home, about 2 hours away from MetLife, we pull into a gas station, we’re all wearing our Mania shirts, and some dude pulls up next to us and starts singing the Fandango theme and doing the dance lol. That was one of the greatest weekends, I wish I had it on tape. That song was everywhere, we couldn’t escape it!
While waiting in line for WrestleMania 27, Prime Time Elix Skipper walked past us in line and I yelled out “Prime Time!” and he smiled and nodded and kept walking with his son. The guy in front of me , who had to be foreign, said who da fook is prime time? I said, Elix Skipper! He said, who the fook is Elix skipper? I said, the TNA wrestler! He goes, what da fook is TNA!? and we were just like, oh god dude FORGET IT!! lol, he was laughing though.
One time, we were all sitting outside on the benches waiting to get into an Impact taping and we spotted Ernest Miller just walking around. I was like, hey I think that’s The Cat Ernest Miller! Everybody looked and we were trying to figure out if it was him or not and he got closer and we were certain it was him. We spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out if this was in fact Ernest Miller, and my brother finally goes…”who gives a **** if it is Ernest Miller, does anybody even WANT his autograph!?” And we were all like….you’re right lol. It was definitely him though
I saw Sean O’Hare at the Westchester Mall in 2003. We was sitting on a bench waiting for his girlfriend to come out of a store & we were pretty young then so we went up to him and we’re just like “you’re Sean Ohare!” And he just nodded yes. We asked him something along the lines of “do you have any good advice for becoming a wrestler?l” and he said “don’t get a girlfriend or you’ll be sitting here with me instead of wrestling”. Something along those lines lol.
I’m trying to remember more, I have a million little stories

At Insurrextion 2003 one of the matches was Goldust vs Rico. Rico lost and instead of heading back up the ramp, he made his exit at the right side at the back where the King and JRs commentary table was. A few guys made their exit here instead of the ramp. Anyway, Rico and referee Jack Doan were walking at the same time, Rico goes to go through the curtain and instead steps to the side and holds it open for Jack Doan, Doan walks past to go through the curtain and Rico slaps him on the ass super hard and looks at us and just starts laughing

Lord, have I got a few.
When I was 13 or 14, my mom bought my brother (10 or 11 at the time) and I tickets to a wrestling show that was coming through town. It was a treat, because it was only about 25 minutes away vs. driving into the city where shows usually roll through, and the tickets were cheap because it was at a local ice arena used by area schools and city leagues for their hockey teams.
I don't think she knew was ECW was.
The show was a blast, and we got to see a ton of ECW mainstays like Justin Credible, RVD, Rhino, Mikey Whipwreck, etc. The merch table was selling a bunch of the OSFTM figures, and for like $10 extra you could get an autographed one. I got Mike Awesome, and he got a signed Sandman. The second to last match was a tag match pitting Justin Credible, Danny Daniels, and Rhino against Jerry Lynn, Steve Corino, and HC Loc. Almost immediately, it spilled right into the crowd on our side (we were maybe the 8th to 10th row on the floor) and turned into a typical ECW brawl throughout the arena. Naturally, our seating area got scattered, we chased the match around, and when we got back - yeah, our figures were gone. Dumb kids, and we let them out of our sight. I didn't have enough cash on me to replace mine, but my brother was really upset, so before we left, we headed back up to the table and I ponied up for a second signed Sandman, which I'm fairly certain is still hanging on his wall to this day.
Another one isn't so remarkable for the show itself, but the circumstances that led to it. Up here, we get a week off school in April. I had a license by this time, and my brother and I spent the first day of it kinda meandering around town, not doing much of anything. My dad got home from work around 2:30 that day and basically tore into us for spending the day indoors and declaring that we weren't just going to spend the week lazing about because he's a dxck like that sometimes. I, being the rebellious 17 year old that I was, said (to myself) "fine, fxck him" and got online to see if anything cool was happening around town that afternoon/evening. By this point, I wasn't even really watching wrestling at all anymore, but I saw that Raw was in Boston that night. My brother (who'd also since drifted away from wrestling) wasn't into going, so I contacted a friend on a whim. He was down, so we drove to the Ticketmaster counter at Filene's (remember that?), got a couple of $25 tickets, and drove into Boston. I knew most of the upper card guys still, kinda made my way through the undercard, but the show was fun. I'd never been to a full TV production like that, so it was a blast to see the arena set up and and the pyro and all that. Then, the main event comes up, and it's going to be....Eric Bischoff vs. Trish Stratus.
Really?
My first big production live show, and the main is Bischoff vs. Trish, and if wins (like it looked like he was going to with the help of interference on Jazz's behalf), he'd get to spend the night with Trish. Brilliant.
Now, mind you - I wasn't following at this point. I only vaguely knew who was still employed and who wasn't. I certainly wasn't following the dirt sheets or any of the backstage business, and so when Linda McMahon came down to speak with Bischoff, I didn't know what was up. I knew he was the GM and that that was basically this week's version of the on-screen authority role, and Linda was announcing that she and the board had decided to appoint a co-GM to keep Eric in line. I'm still none the wiser, and honestly, the crowd was quiet enough that I'm not even sure how widely spread the rumors were.
Then the glass shattered. To this day, even now as a fan who is following along, I've never marked out at a live event as hard as I did just casually sauntering into Boston to get away from my dad and happening across the opportunity to see ol' Stone Cold hand out some stunners and down some beers.
EDIT: the moment was too good to not share. I guess the crowd was a bit louder than I remember in the leadup, but god damn, does the glass shattering still give me total nerd chills.
I'm sure I've got more, but those are at least a couple of pre-2013, totally back into wrestling highlights for your reading enjoyment.

I take pride in getting to see Austin vs Taker live in 99 at my first house show, then seeing Austin live twice more after that. The pops for him are always killer. Wrestlemania 32 was what it was...but being born and raised in Dallas, it was pretty bada** seeing Austin come out with a Dallas 3:16 shirt.

The Sandman figure story is a truly nice thing. I have brothers myself and I know just how special what you did was. Good man. That was 2 great stories though, I had a similar experience at WrestleMania 27 when The Rock hosted. I hadn’t watched wrestling regularly since around WrestleMania 24, so it was a few years. I didn’t really wanna go to Mania but it was in town and my brother was like, cmon let’s go, when will we have the chance again? So we went and I knew Rocky was at the show but I didn’t anticipate just how overwhelmed I would get hearing that music and seeing The Rock in person. It was something I too will never forget, same goes for WrestleMania 30 and seeing Warrior come out on stage for the HOF class, hearing Finkle say “theeeeee UUUUUUUUULTIMATE WAARRIOR!”. Man, I felt like I was 6 again hearing that. It’s an incredible feeling, I know what you mean. I enjoyed that first Mania so much though we went to the next 3 and I started watching wrestling regularly again. Nice stories guys, I’m loving the reads

I witnessed one of Austin's last house show loops. Even after he was done as RAW GM they still had him doing special referee spots on the European Tours. During the main event, Cena defeated JBL & Kurt Angle in a three way. After the bell Austin stunned both the heels & celebrated with Cena over a few beers. A memory that sticks out from that show was hearing Austins music continuing to play on loop as I was walking away from the stadium. Must have played for 12 minutes straight.

I was at an ECW show at Bodyslams Arena in Reading, PA. The Dudley Boys (Buh-Buh Ray & D-Von with Dances With Dudley at ringside) fought the Pitbulls. Some kid yelled "D-Von, you f*cking suck!" Dances With Dudley turns & says "Hey, that's a swear word. Don't say that." It made me laugh more than it should. It was just so unexpected.

Here's one from my very first house show:
Picture it: February of 1988 in Boise, Idaho. My dad thought I was old enough to go to a live show, and I was beyond stoked.
The semi-main event was Hercules Hernandez VS. the Ultimate Warrior.
At one point, Herc was hammering on the Warrior in the corner turnbuckle that was closest to me. Warrior reversed positions, and started pounding on Herc in the corner. As I watched, starry-eyed, I noticed something dangling from Warrior's face. It was a long snot hanging from his nose. Not surprising, considering it was late winter in Idaho.
Once UW noticed it, he wiped his face with the back on his hand, and attempted to fling it off outside the ring. He flung it too hard, as it went over the ringside area and into the crowd.
People in the crowd jumped for it, in an attempt to catch it. Not sure if they thought he was throwing an arm-band, or whatever.
