Smackdown is on Thursday nights at 8:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. on UPN.  It came here to Pittsburgh a lot of times.  In fact it is comming here on March 11, 2002 and I am going.
Raw is on Monday nights at 9:00 P.M. to 11:05 P.M. on TNN.  Raw used to be called RAW IS WAR but in 2000 it is now just called RAW.  Raw came here a couple of times but not as much as Smackdown.

Wrestlemania is the biggest wrestling pay-per-view.  Wrestlemania never came to Pittsburgh because we have too small of a arena.  They always sell out the arenas where they go.  The biggest sell out was in Pontiac, Michigan where there was 90,000 people there!
This is another big pay-per-view.  It is Judgement Day.  Last year (2002) The Undertaker came back from a injury.  That is him in the background of the ad.  Usually at this pay-per-view they have a cage, hell in a cell, or street fight or something that is dangerous.

This is when Wrestlemania came to Cesars Palace.  This was unusuall because is was totally outside and un covered.  If it rained then people would not stay so they took a big risk for the ratings.  Wrestlemania IV (9) is going to be a memorable event due to them having it outside.
Unforgiven in a big PPV too. It came to Pittsburgh as I mentioned on my WWE Tickets page.  Unforgiven seems to have a lot of title matches.  In Pittsburgh 7 out of the 8 matches were title matches, only 2 changed hands.  I whitnessed it in person.

Summerslam is a probably the biggest PPV during the summer.  It is in August and a lot of people don't watch wrestling as much in the summer, but this PPV had more people order it as the PPV during the other seasons.
King of the Ring is a very good PPV.  There are matches that if you lose then you are eliminated.  You wreslte in 3 matches during the night if you never loose.  They had a KOTR here in Pittsbugh in 1998.  Ken Shamrock won it and they also had a Hell in a Cell match too.  This Hell in a Cell match is still talked about today.  It was between The Undertaker and Mankind.  Manking got thrown off the top of the cage which is about 16 feet on to the announcer table.  Then later he got chokeslamed throught the top of the cage down on ring and the ring caved in.  While he went down through the ring a steel chair hit him in his mouth and knocked out his front tooth and they showed him with his tooth comming out his nose!!!
