14 Years Ago Today...

[RGM81]

A much younger RGM81 had the amazing pleasure of attending this event:


My best buddy and I had 3rd row seats, right behind the announce table. We were lucky enough to get right up to the barrier a few times, including when Vince & Lawler came out. Jerry had a ridiculous oversized cowboy hat on - priceless stuff. Also got to shake Vince's hand. If only I'd know what he'd do just 4 months later..... LOL

It was a phenomenal night, with easily the loudest arena I've ever been in for a wrestling event. The roof was about to come off the Saddledome when the Hitman came out - it was a real testament to just how loved Bret and the entire Hart family was (and still are) in Calgary. Even old Stu got a rousing ovation!

It's scary to look at some of the pictures I took, and think that so many of those guys are no longer with us. RIP Owen, Davey, Brian, and Hawk.

Thanks! Unfortunately it was from just a cheap disposable, so they're a little grainy. A far, far cry from the technology of 2011. LOL

I remember the first time watching the show on tape - every time that it showed Vince & Lawler we looked for ourselves in the background, and we're in there a few times.
