What in the world of wrestling is your city known for?
 
Well altough the don't announce him from here Hassan is from Syracuse NY

AND POSSIBLY THE GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN IN WRESTLING

--David Arquette Diamond Dallas Page Syracuse, NY 04-25-00--

I was excited it happened because hey new champ in our hometown. How ever I still wanted to throw stuff at bishoff when he came out..

McLegend 06-06-2005 12:44 PM

ECW

Loose Cannon 06-06-2005 12:48 PM

well New Rochelle, NY is known for nothing

But it's 15 minutes from NYC, so the begginning of Wrestlemania I guess.

I live right outside of Charlotte now and that's Flair country.

Disturbed316 06-06-2005 12:49 PM

Closest thing to Brighton in the wrestling world would be William Regal or British Bulldog coming from places near by (or at least from the same country).

Extreme Angle 06-06-2005 12:51 PM

Marcyo 06-06-2005 02:08 PM

Oh yeah, Montreal was also the place were Chris Benoit was born, I think.

There was also that other thing which I won't even mention that happened here in '97.

Lamuella 06-06-2005 02:18 PM

Home of Ric Flair. Home of Crockett's promotion.

Need I say a word more?

James Steele 06-06-2005 02:30 PM

The south was the place back in the day.

Supermark101 06-06-2005 02:44 PM

Wichita, KS the city Bulldog Bob Brown made famous. :D
Wichita is where Big Show went to College, Bam Bam Bigelow made his WCW debut here, and had a nitro when wcw was almost dead. That Nitro had a hotter crowd then any WWF/WWE show here. :wtf:

Nowhere Man 06-06-2005 03:10 PM

Huntsville, AL.

Hometown of Bobby Eaton, one of the greatest tag-team wrestlers ever.

Also the birthplace of the X-Division Title, when AJ Styles beat Jerry Lynn, Low-Ki, and Psicosis in a round-robin double elimination match to be crowned the first X-Div. Champion.

Scootie Stankers 06-06-2005 03:17 PM

EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING (enough said)

WrestleMania XV (Stone Cold def. The Rock)

ROH

Summerslam 90, KOTR 1995, Mind Games, Unforgiven 2000, Royal Rumble 2004

and......

WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin (with one arm tied behind his back) vs Mr. McMahon (RAW 1998)

Plus a whole lot more

Evil Vito 06-06-2005 03:18 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Danbury, CT

Well, the biggest wrestling-related thing to happen in this city was that ECW held a PPV (I think it was Living Dangerously 2000), at the O'Neill Center here. This just goes to show how far in the shitter ECW were starting to go by this point.....I'm quite certain that all watching the PPV were probably thinking "where the crap is Danbury, Connecticut?"

Pretty sure that's the show where New Jack and Vic Grimes were on scaffolding and Jack walked off of it backwards, sending Grimes with him flipping, and Grimes ended up landing on (and breaking) both of New Jack's knees</font>

Well, I'm from New York, come up with any number of things that happened in wrestling here.

Karlsberg 06-06-2005 06:20 PM

British Bulldog and William Regal were from England and One Night Only was held here

Xero 06-06-2005 06:44 PM

Dawn Marie is from here. Big fucking whoop.

Also, we have many indy shows around here. I never go, but I know that they have at least one a month.

Altar of Helmsley 06-06-2005 06:47 PM

Went to Insurrextion 2001 here (London, England) saw Angle Vs Benoit in 2 out of 3 falls. It wasn't the best match they ever had but it was worth it just to see them wrestle each other live :drool: and seeing the undertaker was unreal.

Highlight of the nite was steph being hit by a plastic bottle (Well several plasic bottles) and it being all over the net for a few days.

It was strange seeing as they checked us for bottles when we came in.

btw: (i don't wish any harm on steph) :shifty:

Other than that we've had Summerslam 92 (Bulldog Vs Bret) and and few other live events, thats about it really.
