Wrestled In All 50 States: Tommy Dreamer

UPDATE: Mr. Dreamer messaged me he's wrestled in all the Canadian Provinces and 111 Countries!

Wrestled In All 50 States: Matt Cardona

Image from Matt Cardona X profile

I was watching GCW HawaiiMania and Dave Prazak was talking about how it was GCW's Hawaii debut and at some point he or Veda Scott commented that this was the Hawaii debut for most of the wrestlers on the card and that after tonight Matt Cardona had now wrestled in all 50 States.

I remember back in 2021 GCW ran Wyoming specifically because Ricky Morton had not wrestled there before and I thought it was so that he would have wrestled in every State.  I started looking into it and I can't find a record of him wrestling in Alaska.

While watching GCW I took to Cage Match to find Matt Cardona's debut match in every state and compiled them in this blog post.  I can't guarantee 100% accuracy but I feel it must be pretty accurate as most of these matches were in the WWE.

WWE SmackDown/ECW House Show - House Show at the Bangor Auditorium

I was at this show! At that time when WWE came to Maine they would run Bangor one night and Portland the next night. I typically went to Portland because it was closer to my home, however on this night my buddy Rood and I went to Bangor because we had never been to the Bangor Auditorium for a WWE show. Also, for some reason the tickets were cheaper in Bangor than Portland.

The Bangor Auditorium opened October 1, 1955 was closed in 2013 when the larger and state of the art Cross Insurance Center opened.
