It will be a sad day for this Wrestling Geek when the Philadelphia Spectrum is demolished.  I saw my first professional wrestling show there on my 8th birthday.  I don’t remember much from this show.  I do remember standing for the whole Hogan VS Macho Man match and Miss Elizabeth slapping Macho Man at the end of the show.  I also bought a foam 2X4 with Hoooooooo! written on it.  I could have sworn that Andre the Giant was there but I guess I was wrong.

I know my parents were horrified at all of the people there going insane…

Here is the card!
