Spike Huber
Thanks to http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com I have found the house show results of a NWA show I went to in 1988. I was 11. I was probably also wearing Sting face paint and a British Bulldog t-shirt and ate a WWF ice cream bar before the show.

Thank you so much for reminding of of what this web address was. I remember going to it a couple years ago and saw the results of the first house show I went to at the Assembly Hall in Champaign where the Bulldogs losts to Demolition. I was probably 8 years old and I struck up a coversation with a guy probably in his late teens or early 20s. I remember not understanding why he liked a lot of the bad guys, but we agreed that we both liked the Bulldogs.
What was the date of the Assembly Hall show? I went to a show in Champaign when I was a kid so there’s a chance it was the same one. Sounds like you talked to an early smart mark. Probably read the Wrestling Observer. 🙂 And who didn’t like the Bulldogs? Dynamite was a bad ass.
November 5, 1988 was the date.
I have no recollection of the Brain Busters vs. Young Stallions, and I could’ve sworn Hogan vs. Bossman was a cage match but maybe that was another Assembly Hall house show.
I remember also starting a “baldie” chant for Ron Bass as it was during his angle with Beefers after he got his head shaved.
I just heard an interview on the Heroes of World Class DVD that Spike Huber is Dick the Bruiser’s son-in-law. How about that?
