Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2907728, member: 1969"] Continued from above. In May 1988, after WrestleMania 4, I went to a NIght of Champions Card at the Forum. Randy Savage defended his title against Ted Dibiase, Honky Tonk Man defended his title against Brutus Beefcake, and I forget who Demolition wrestled (perhaps it was Strike Force who they had just beat at WrestleMania 4) I think that was the last time I went to Montreal (about 90 minute drive) to go watch it. Wrestling shows started to happen in Cornwall, a city of 50,000, and close to hometown and of course they were of lesser quality, I went to 3 or 4 of those as well. The first one was a garbage card, where the main event was either Don Muraco vs Bob Orton or Hillbilly Jim vs Killer Khan. How I still remember those matches I don't know -- I suspect its because I would brag to my friends that I would see much better matches in Montreal and would use these as a matter of comparison. The next time they came they had much better matches but they were always notorious for no shows. I remember seeing the Ultimate Warrior vs Frenchy Martin (when Dino Bravo no showed)... or how Richard Chartrand (some Canadian jobber) who filled in for Bam Bam Bigelow against the One Man Gang. Jake Roberts wrestled Rick Rude when their feud was hot, and Rick Rude said "Hit the Music", and the music would not start and you could see guys running around the ring trying to figure it out. After a few minutes Jake saved the moment, by attacking Rude from behind. And perhaps my favourite moment at that first event, was seeing an adult (from my very small hometown) going up to ringside and yapping at the heel. (I forget who the heel was ... I think it was Orton). The heel just called him out, and in two seconds the fan jumped the barricade and was ready to get into the ring before the security pulled him away. Perhaps it was Haku. If it had been Haku, that guy would have been killed -- I heard Haku is the legit toughest guy in the biz. [/QUOTE]
