User blog:Timebomb192potato/Junkread B-Wrestling discussion: "What's the smallest venue you've seen a house show in?"

Also saw a WWE house show at the Great Plains Coliseum in Lawton, Oklahoma. It was very strange, you'd expect it to be used as a venue by an indie promotion, not the biggest pro wrestling organization in the world.
 * p/The_Whip_72: Once saw a UWF house show in the back of a deli in Tybee Island, Georgia. The deli was still taking orders during the show so you'd randomly hear "meatball sub!" over the PA system. Also some of the wrestlers couldn't go off the top rope for fear of bashing their head or making a hole in the ceiling. I met Rick Shersby after the show. There was a diva match between Joël Harper and Lyndsi Rodriguez, and The Brothers Crunk against Double Bubble for the UWF Tag Team Championship.
 * p/TheEvilCloud: Once saw a CPW house show in the gym of a small Baptist church in upstate New York back when they just got their TBN broadcast deal but were just starting to get noticed. The wrestlers performed for an audience of about 30-50 of us, and the show nearly got cut short after the youth pastor caught Alvin Armstrong preparing to smash a wine bottle over Jay Whiz's head, which he didn't think was appropriate.
 * p/FlorescentOtter56: I've seen WWE house shows at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, which holds like a couple hundred people at most.
 * p/ABanana_412: I saw a CPW house show at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, Illinois back in 2014. The place seats like 830 max. and it doesn't even have any room to put an entrance way. All the guys had to come in via the ramp leading to the backstage area used by the musical theater performers that normally frequent it. Had a weird card, for example Jerry Russell fought Bigg Purple for the CPW Television Championship and a diva match between Lady Quantum and Trisha Foster.
 * p/[delorted!]: I was on the CPW tour crew at the time! It was a very surreal experience. We'd be tearing down the CPW ring and we'd catch a glimpse of the cast and crew for the production of Cats that was going on at the same time waiting for us to finish so they could start rehearsing.
 * p/Vegan_Smasher_9000: Saw a WWF house show at Carwardine Colony in 1999. It was held in that special events "shed" in the back of the park. What I remember most is Frankie Fattoruso pinning Dan Hunt with the One-Way Ride. IIRC Jerry Russell, The Godfather, Kane and Big Show were also on the card.
