What arena you talking about...scope center? I ask because I live in Richmond. I've been to that and the Hampton coliseum.

Small world. I grew up in Richmond and Chesterfield.

Same, I went to Bethel High School in Hampton, VA. I've been to the Scope, and the Hampton/Richmond Coliseum. The scope is ok, the Hampton Coliseum is bearable, I didn't enjoy my experience watching Wrestling at the Richmond Coliseum.

That being said, pretty coool lots of locals on here.

Nope, completely random to try to boost ratings.

Nice. Indeed it is. I imagine you used to go watch the Richmond Renegades? I used to be a season ticket holder. Plus grew up playing hockey all over the state which as you know wasn't easy in VA. Hockey has come a long way in this area but 25 years ago, it was much harder to find organized league play.

I remember going to a house show at the Richmond Coliseum and was on the second row. Stacy Keibler did her patented ring apron bend over right in front of me. You talk about eyes popping out of your head.

Never been much of a hockey fan, but I used to watch the Braves play at the Diamond. I once watched a game there with some of my relatives from Atlanta, and they said the Diamond was nicer than Fulton-County Stadium.

My brother still lives there and he's been to a lot of wrestling events. He saw an Inferno match at the Coliseum. This was about 10(ish) years ago. He won tickets by calling in and answering a trivia question on XL102.

Yep went to that ppv. I've been to four different ppvs in other states including WrestleMania 24 in Orlando. Which had Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair in Flair's retirement match.

Even though it was the last ppv I went to, I remember that show like yesterday. People complained about the lighting and WWE offered free tickets to Raw the next night in Orlando. Then at the end of the show a pyro spiraled into the crowd. Never did hear if anything came of that.
