5 cities where the WWE created new records

World Wrestling Entertainment is a global phenomenon that has created its fan base across the globe. One of the major reasons for its expanding viewership is the company's decision to organize and hold events in various countries and different cities across the world. This gives the WWE Universe to watch various live shows and matches in their own cities. Audiences from nearby places also get a chance to interact with their heroes and watch them perform in front of their eyes.

Since different cities get to host WWE shows and PPV's, these cities have witnessed several professional records created by wrestlers and WWE which are remembered and cherished by the world forever. These records set the legacy that is carried forward by future generations of wrestlers and the WWE management.

Let us have a look at five such cities which gave birth to several such records.

#5 Raw 1st episode - January 11, 1993, Manhattan Center

Shawn Michaels defeated Max Moon

WWE's Monday Night RAW is the longest running weekly episode of television history. A couple of years ago, it celebrated its 1000 episodes and in January 2018 RAW completed its 25 years on Television. It all started in 1993, in Manhattan when RAW's 1st episode took place. It was just the beginning of something historic and today it is the most watched show on pro-wrestling on TV.

On the 1st episode of RAW, we saw the phenom, Undertaker competing and defeating Damien Demento and 25 years later, he still appeared on RAW. Though globally, many arenas have hosted RAW, the nostalgia attached to Manhattan Center will be adored forever.

Though RAW will happen every Monday and many more legends and histories will be created Manhattan will forever be recognized as the place where it all started.

#4 Montreal ScrewJob - Survivor Series 1997, in Montreal, Canada

The infamous incident took place in Montreal, Canada

Although the WWE holds a lot of good history, which the fans love, it also has a couple of incidents which gave the company a bad image. Out of many such cases, the Montreal incident gave the company a lot of negative vibes. It tarnished the reputation of the brand globally.

At the Survivor Series PPV in 1997 held in Montreal, Canada, the main event comprised of a match between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. The story-line was that Bret Hart was the WWF Champion then.

However, he signed a contract with WCW (the rival group of WWE) and was determined to leave the WWF. However, Mr McMahon was unhappy with the decision and he didn't want Hart to leave along with the Championship. Bret Hart was also not willing to lose the Championship to Shawn with whom he had both on-screen and off-screen issues.

The match ended in a controversy as Vince McMahon forced the referee to ring the bell when Shawn locked a submission move on Bret Hart to which Bret did not submit. The title was forcefully changed and this damaged the reputation of the company forever. In the end, Bret spat on Vince's face and left the company. This was perhaps the most notorious decision on the part of WWE, which took place in Montreal, Canada.

#3 First Money in the Bank match - WrestleMania 21, at Los Angeles, California

Edge won the first ever Money in the Bank Ladder match in WWE

Even though WWE has witnessed a lot of ladder matches previously, it created history in Los Angeles, California when it hosted the Money in the Bank match for the first time at WrestleMania 21. The idea of this matched sparked in Chris Jericho's head and he soon pitched it to the then general manager of RAW Eric Bischoff. Eric took his idea and soon made the match at WrestleMania.

In Los Angeles, California the WWE Universe was gifted a special match by the WWE where six men competed to grab the fortune at stake. The reward for the winner was a World Championship contract which the winner can utilize on any champion at any time when he desires to cash it. The participants in the match where Chris Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, Kane, Christian, Chris Benoit and Edge.

The match was brutal and violent as the wrestlers used the ladders to annihilate one another. In the end, Edge won the contract and later cashed it upon John Cena and won the WWE Champion. Thus Los Angeles witnessed a match for the first time, which became a legacy and now a separate PPV is held by WWE with the same name featuring Money in the Bank matches apart from other matches.

#2 First WrestleMania - Madison Square Garden, in New York

The first ever WrestleMania

For the WWE enthusiasts, WrestleMania is no less than a festival, as the excitement, thrills and enjoyment are always at the peak. WrestleMania is the grandest stage of all the PPV's and the wrestlers and the management put a lot of effort to make it the best event of the year.

Every year, many classic matches take place at WrestleMania and various records get created. Various story-lines, feuds, heel turns, face turns and other rivalries either started or ended over here. However, all of this started at Madison Square Garden, New York, where the first-ever WrestleMania took place.

There was a total of nine matches and some great legends competed in those fights. Some of them are Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Ricky Steamboat and several others. These players started something then which today is a worldwide phenomenon.

The fans in New York witnessed the beginning of perhaps the biggest PPV in the world. WrestleMania will keep coming every year, but the first WrestleMania ever will forever be cherished and remembered.

#1 The Undertaker's streak conquered - WrestleMania 30 at New Orleans, Louisiana

Brock Lesnar conquered the undefeated streak of the Undertaker

The Undertaker is perhaps the greatest WWE superstar of all times. Throughout his career, he owned dozens of championships and loads of records. But, his accomplishments at WrestleMania provided him with the stature of a living legend.

Undertaker had an unbeatable record at WrestleMania. He won 21 back to back matches against various opponents every year at WrestleMania. For twenty-one years he remained unconquered and thus he developed a streak of 21-0. Every year some player or the other tried, but none could vanquish him until he faced Brock Lesnar.

Brock is a beast and is the most dominant champion ever in WWE. He defeated the Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 and thus made the streak look 21-1. This was a very sad moment witnessed by the fans in New Orleans, as the Undertaker's streak finally got over. Louisiana thus hosted a WWE moment, which can never be forgotten by the WWE Universe ever.
