Similar to the thread I posted in the WWE folder.
 
What do you remember from your first JCP / WCW event? Where was it, when, who wrestled, who won?
 
 
I'll start, though this was admittedly far past WCW's prime.
 
It was WCW Monday Nitro in Phoenix the day after Havoc 99. Lots of matches, lots of backstage segments. The highlights were Chris Benoit vs. Dean Malenko in a last man standing match (the stipulation didn't fit the two men but it was cool just to finally see them live) and Bret Hart beating Goldberg for the US title.

Guess this should be in Mid-Atlantic but here goes:
August, 1980
1) Ron Ritchie p/ Tony Russo
2) S.D. Jones p/ Gene Lewis
3) Paul Jones b/ Dewey Robertson
4) Non-title: Ric Flair p/ Greg Valentine (US champ)

Dorton Arena; July 1987..... Jimmy Valiant & Lazertron beat the Mod Squad, and Ronnie & Jimmy Garvin beat Ivan Koloff & Barbarian in the "double main event". All of the "top stars" were in Maryland that night, I think, but I didn't care. It was my first show and I thought it was so cool that I got to give Ronnie a pat on the back on his way to the dressing room after the match. I was 11.  

 
This is my first live event, October 12, 1978. My Dad took me over to Surry Central High School there in Dobson (our county seat) for this show. I was five years old. Blackjack helped with a drawing they had to give away a shot gun before the show. Boy, how times have changed! He lost to the Baron later in the show.

Mine was Knoxville, Tennessee right after the Clash where the Horsemen kicked Sting out and he ruptured his patella tendon, the Main Event was Ric Flair vs. a still Heel Lex Luger......I also saw Brian Pillman and Z-Man vs. The Freebirds, The R-n-R Express Vs. The Midnight Express, Arn Anderson Vs. Ricky Morton, The Steiners Vs. The Samoan Swat Team, and Norman The Lunatic Vs. Kevin Sullivan.  
 
Goodness all around

-Barbarian/Ivan/Baron vs. Ron Garvin/Sam Houston/Manny Fernandez
-Midnight vs. Rock n Roll
-Mangum vs. Nikita

November 8, 1993 in Lafollette, TN.  I don't remember the card so much as I remember who was there, as well as the fact that both Paul Orndorff and Cactus Jack no-showed.  And they were the ones most prominently featured on the event posters.
 
Wrestling that night were Bobby Eaton, Ron Simmons, Erik Watts, The Colossal Kongs, The Shockmaster (yep, saw in person.  No glitter-covered Stormtropper helmet, though), Saturday Night jobber The Gambler, and more that aren't coming to mind right now.  The main event was a battle royal for a check (I forget how much it was supposed to be for), won by Shockmaster

i agree with you on the destruction of the gma, it was a great building, many memories there.

I have to make a correction here.......
 
Magnum TA won his first match in the Best Of Seven Series against Nikita Koloff on this night. This woukd go on to set the stage as Magnum tied the series and the 2 finished up the deal in Charlotte with Nikita winning the title.  

Wembley Arena, London, August 1994
 
Hogan vs Flair on top
 
plus I THINK Austin vs Steamboat - I can't find any results on line. I'll have to dig out the photos....  
 

NWA at the Asheville, NC Civic Center.  I seem to recall them coming once a month (6 weeks?) to do a show.  This was probably in 88-89?  We had ringside seats.  I do remember Ric Flair facing The Great Muta in one main event.  Also got to see Brian Pillman, Tom Zenk, JYD, Cactus Jack, Lex Luger.  
 
Flair always had his butt exposed.  There was always an old lady at ringside who would shake a pair of panties at the wrestlers (later I learned that apparently every arena had one of these women).  It stuck with my father who in 2004 brought a pair of panties to an APW show in Spartanburg to wave at my cousin and friend - Adam Jaxon and Ken Magnum.  Their tag name was the UnderGround, but they were called the "UnderGarments".

I have a horrid memory.
 
I think my first live WCW event was a house show.  I just remember Rick Steiner defeating Dallas Page.
 
I went to a Thunder not too long after that.  Sting faced Jeff Jarrett in a 2 out of 3 falls match.  
 
Both in Roanoke, VA.

bobbyryates actually just helped me track down results of my first live show a few weeks ago:
 
22 August 1987 Greensboro, NC - Greensboro Coliseum
 
Rocky King b Gladiator # 1; Italian Stallion b Larry Stevens; Ricky Nelson b Colt Steele; Chris Adams & Sting b Terry Taylor & Eddie Gilbert; Kendall Windham b Teijho Khan; Dusty Rhodes b Lex Luger; Rock n Roll Express b Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson; Ric Flair DCOR Ron Garvin

My first event was in August of 1988 at the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Va.
 
Both NWA Pro (with Bob Caudle and Jim Ross) and World Wide (with David Crockett and Tony Schiavone) were doing TV tapings.
 
The non-televised matches were as follows:
 
NWA World Tag Team Title: Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard v/s Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane)....if memory serves me correct, I want to say this ended in a double DQ
 
United States Title: Barry Windham v/s Nikita Koloff (Windham wins)
 
NWA World Title: Ric Flair v/s Lex Luger (Luger wins by DQ following interference from the Horsemen)

RICHMOND COLISEUM NWA 87-88. I was 5 or 6 at the time... I remember we had to move our seats because of a roof leak.... I also recall the SheepHerders involved in a barbwire match. I think Sting fought Flair but I'm not sure. I still have the wrestling program somewhere which had Luger on the cover.
 
Someone once told me, it was a Clash show but I don't think it was...If anyone has any info on this show, please do tell.

My first Live NWA.JCP card was February 2, 1986 at the Omni in Atlanta. I was 11 years old. It was a house how/ taping of the first "Superstars on the Superstation" TBS special.
 
Baron Von Raschke beat the Italian Stallion
the Barbarian vs Ron Bass was a 20 minute draw
Jimmy Valiant beat Arn Anderson by over the top rope DQ
Midnight Express beat Rock n Roll Express for World Tag Title
Road Warrios beat Ivan & Nikita Koloff by DQ
Dusty Rhodes vs Tully Blanchard was a 20 minute draw
Ric Flair beat Ron Garvin
 
I thought that seeing the NWA live was the coolest thing I had ever gotten to do. The next day at school I was telling everybody about the results, and then everybody watched it on TV the following Friday night, and I was like "yeah I was there and it was awesome."      
 
My first live matches were the year before that. They had live matches in my hometown promoted by Ann Gunkel's "All South Championship Wrestling". We got live matches every three weeks that summer and fall. The talent roster was really strong and featured a lot of guys I had seen on TV such as Tommy Rich, Mr. Wrestling #2, Mr. Olympia, Randy Rose, Doug Sommers, Ron Starr, Boris Zhukov, Scott "Hog" Irwin, Chick Donovan, Nick Patrick who wrestled, Nightmare Ted Allen, John Michaels, Porkchop Cash, and others. Randy "Pee Wee" Anderson got his start as a referee on these shows. Rick Stewart, who did colo commentary at Starrcade 86 also started out as the host of their weekly TV shows that was on several Atrlanta and Chattanooga stations. Man those were the days......  

My first WCW live event was the first and only time they had Nitro at the old Capital Center in Landover MD.  It was the Monday before Bash At The Beach 96.  I don't remember much of the matches, The Steiners defeated Harlem Heat, and The Giant defeated John Tenta.  What I remember most was Scott Hall and Kevin Nash coming out thru the crowd to their front row seats.  I was sitting on the aisle.  I was getting ready to get up and go to the restroom when security started coming down towards me, and low and behold, Hall and Nash were there.
