Im sure many have been to a live show so I was wondering which one stuck out the most in your mind or had the best entertaining matches. The one that stands out the most for me was Starrcade 86.
1986 Starrcade 1986: Night of the Skywalkers took place on November 27, 1986 from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina and The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tim Horner and Nelson Royal defeated Don and Rocky Kernodle Hector Guerrero and Baron Von Raschke defeated Shaska Whatley and The Barbarian Wahoo McDaniel defeated Rick Rude (w/Paul Jones) in an Indian Strap Match Jimmy Valiant (w/Big Mama) defeated Paul Jones in a Hair vs. Hair Match with Manny Fernandez locked in a Cage Tully Blanchard (w/James J. Dillon) defeated Dusty Rhodes in a First Blood match to win the NWA World Television Championship The Rock 'n' Roll Express defeated Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson in a Steel cage match to retain the NWA World Tag Team Championship Brad Armstrong fought Jimmy Garvin (w/Precious) to a draw Krusher Khruschev and Ivan Koloff defeated Bobby Jaggers and Dutch Mantel to retain the NWA United States Tag Team Championship Sam Houston defeated Bill Dundee by DQ to retain the NWA Central States Heavyweight Championship Big Bubba Rogers (w/Jim Cornette) defeated Ron Garvin in a Street Fight The Road Warriors (w/Paul Ellering) defeated The Midnight Express (w/Jim Cornette and Big Bubba Rogers) in a Scaffold Match NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and NWA United States Champion Nikita Koloff wrestled to a double DQ.

My first live show definitely has had the most impact on me. I don't think I'll ever forget the date. It was November 17, 2003 in Beaumont, TX, Monday Night RAW the day after Survivor Series. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. The crowd was electric. The lights and pyrotechnics... the energy was amazing and when those guys came out... wow. I really hadn't imagined it to be quite so... just wow.
I had Booker T point to me and my friend and Kane stare us down. I've never actually met a WWE Superstar and at that point I'd never met anybody famous for that matter. So that was pretty big for me. We were seated directly across from the ramp about 10-15 from where the commentator booth used to be, so we were eye level with them while they were walking down it. Me and my friend had been cheering like crazy for Booker T during his match and after and I guess he was just showing his thanks. If I recall correctly, you can see him point to someone right before they went to commercial. That was us. That was the first match of the night. Later on, after the last match which was Evolution vs. Goldberg in a handicap match that Kane interupted and left Goldberg laid out in the ring (as if he wasn't going to be already), Kane comes back up the ramp and my friend and our dads are yelling, "You suck!!" Kane stopped in front of us and just stared. With those eyes. I moved closer to the guy on the other side of me like I wasn't with them cause yeah, he was scary, lol. He stood like that for almost a minute. It seemed like forever to me though. What the television audience didn't see however was Kane getting drug back to the ring and jackhammered and speared by Goldberg. That was pretty cool.
Lots of things happened that night. Trish and Jericho had their first kiss. Matt Hardy made his big return and dumped Lita. Lita got fired. Christian got her job back... Flair had a title match with RVD for the IC Championship that Randy Orton interupted and got Flair disqualified in. It was a turning point for him because I think that night he decided that he wanted the gold. I remember him picking up the belt after the match and just looking at it. I knew he'd have it before long. And he did.
At the time Stone Cold was my favorite wrestler. I was disappointed because he had just been fired. Randy Orton had pinned HBK in their Survivor Series match the night before. HBK, another one of my favorites didn't wrestle either. Bischoff told him to go home and look in the mirror to see the person that cost Stone Cold his job. Which he didn't really. There was a big to-do with that though. The first thing you saw as RAW came on the air was two beer cans in the center of the ring. It was really sad and I didn't know if he'd come back or not at that point.
It was a great show and a great night that I'll never forget.

The first live show I've seen was the best ever--the Main event was Ric Flair (with Mr. Perfect in his corner) vs. Randy Savage for the WWF title. Imagine the talent in the WWF in 1992. Yes, those were the days.
