Regardless of which company what was your first live wrestling event? Was it a PPV? House show? etc.
For me it was WrestleMania twenty-five. My buddy had an extra ticket and could not turn it down!

House show to a RAW in 2006. My dad and I went, but we were an hour and a half late because they started it early and didn't bother telling anybody.
The house show the following year with him was on time and pretty fun though. I'll never forget that before Vladimir Kozlov debuted he was on house shows saying that he "loves double double E". Everyone was booing him and in the tense silence afterwards he was like "yeah go Vladimir".

I went to a RAW like very shortly after Eddie passed. Pretty dope.

Seen a Smackdown house show in...2004ish? Got to see Eddie and Benoit as well as Rhyno, among others.

I was an Attitude Era child, and my friend's dad took me and him in 6th? 7th grade to a taping of Raw in 1998. It was the run up to the Summerslam main event where Undertaker fought Stone Cold. We met Undertaker in the parking garage when we left and me and my friend posed with him for a selfie. Biggest dude I had ever seen.

About the same time frame as Downfall, it was a RAW taping at some point in 1998. Thing is...I didn't know shit about wrestling. Friend's family brought me and my brother along and the love was spurred from that very event. I was so clueless. The crowd was chanting "Rocky Sucks" and I remember turning to my friend and asking "why are they saying Bobby sucks?". I remember asking if (if I recall right) one of the D.O.A. guys was Stone Cold.
and, ofcourse, I remember The Undertaker segment being the coolest fkin thing i'd ever seen.
But from that Raw on, I was hooked for the rest of my childhood.

Either a WWF house show sometime in the late 80s, about when Hogan was going on in the middle and leaving during intermission, or an SECW/Continintal arena show at the Mobile Civic Center. It was 30+ years ago so I can't remember which was first.

I was the the Nitro where Jindrak and O'Haire debuted and beat Rey Mysterio and Kidman. As a young Rey mark it was awful.

Only live event Iβve ever been to, was a house show for a small local thing being held in the auditorium of a facility that my youth group happened to book the top floor of for the same night. We all snuck into the nosebleeds above the ground floor auditorium for the last couple matches of the event, which may have had a grand total of about 30 fans in attendance otherwise. I canβt tell you the name of the company, the name of any wrestlers, or even when it was exactly to look up information by- all I remember is that one dude who looked vaguely like Brad Maddox was the reigning champ for the program, and got a main event win thanks to his bodyguard, who was the spitting image of Keith Lee, interfering while the ref had his back turned.

I got some i can recall, I remember this house show card that was ECW/SD! branded in like 2008 or so, and I remember going to a live RAW event at the nosebleed seats around that same period, hell I wanted to go to that Cyber Sunday thing but my dad said no. Then fast forward to 2016, I remember going to a live CMLL kinda show in Mexico with my sister to see some live good lucha thing (jk Lucha Libre).

I went to the Nitro in 2000 after the Great American Bash where Goldberg turned heel. Jesus christ, even for a young wrestling mark that night killed WCW for me. Every other finish that night was a no-contest, over half an hour was dedicated to Ric Flair/Vince Russo drama, it was just bad.

Mine was the night after WM 17 where they failed to capitalize on the double turn between HHH/Austin.
I was 11 so I was just pissed The Hardy Boyz werenβt there.

I was like 9 at a RAW taping in Omaha in 1995. I had never seen wrestling before that night, and I was immediately hooked.
