Since you all were talking about Stone Cold I've got to drop what is my probably biggest wrestling flex. The first live wrestling show I got to see in person was KOTR 96 where Austin won and cut the first Austin 3:16 promo. I was 11 and did yard work to make money and buy two tickets at $15 a pop for my dad and I to go.
Wouldn't have been my first, but my cousin got us tickets to KOTR 98 in Pittsburgh. I got in trouble for something or other and got grounded to my room for my entire summer vacation, so the PPV (and the $70 I had saved for the ticket) was out. That was, of course, the night that Taker threw Mankind off the cell. Its one of the things I still haven't forgiven my father for.
Wait actually I just realized you have a connection to that moment too. 96 KOTR had the match where Mankind actually beat Taker for the first time iirc. That was one of the matches that really put Mankind over as a threat and made everyone stick their fingers in their mouth and try to paralyze themselves.
So weird how there was those little threads of what would become one of the biggest boom periods in wrestling mixed in with like the body donna's vs the new rockers. Fun fact - two of the guys you saw that night, Goldust and Billy Gunn, are still actively wrestling at a high level in AEW. Billy's sons (the ass boys) are one of the up and coming tag teams in the promotion and he's heavily involved in their storyline. Dustin (Goldust) just pops up from time to time, has an incredible match, then goes back to running his wrestling school.
