House Show Happenings

[Greg U]

Has anyone seen something "special" happen at a house show?

I used to go to a lot of the events in Niagara Falls NY at the Niagara Falls Civic and Convention Centre in the early '90s (I lived in St. Catharines ON so it wasn't that far). I got to see a pre-Tatanka Chris Chavis and Dustin Rhodes in the Goldust gimmick before they had debuted on WWF TV.

Also, On February 20, 1992 I saw a steel cage match between WWF Champion Ric Flair and IC Champ Rowdy Roddy Piper. This watch was advertised and ring -announced as a double title match. Piper won the match and the ref handed him both belts. The ring announcer even declared him as the new WWF Champion, but this title change was never acknowledged. I asked Piper about this when I met him back in '05 and he said he just gave the belt back to Flair (way to legitimize the title Hot Rod). Apparently, the "official" word is that this was retconned to be a non-title match.

i was at the skydome house where edge won his first IC title which i believe he lost a few days later on ppv.

I remember Edge vs Christian in a dark match in Cornwall at the Raw taping two days after the infamous Montreal Screw Job. I believe Edge wrestled under his real name Adam Copeland that night. Also in 1996 me and a few friends saw Summerslam but it was the night after during the Raw in Wheeling West Virgina when at that time they did a month's worth of tapings where I saw The Rock in a dark match where he wrestled under Flex Kavana who knew we were about to see something special in The Rock

I remember several times being at house shows in Maple Leaf Gardens, and the tag titles would always appear to swap, but only for a second referee to come down after, reverse the decision, start it up again and the champs would win & retain the belts.
