View Full Version : Going to my first WWE event Tuesday...

...though not nearly as excited about it as I would have been 10 or even 5 years ago. :-\

I mean even WWE outside of storylines has taken away my excitement...I'm not allowed to have a camera on me, I'm not allowed to have a sign that doesn't fit WWE storylines, and I'm not allowed to make rude gestures to wrestlers I don't like (not like a top wrestler gave the middle finger 5 times a show).

On top of that, this is for a Smackdown taping...a program I haven't watched regularly since Brock Lesnar was the WWE Champion. I mean the show doesn't seem as bad as it did those years ago, but it falls on a night I'm not home anymore and on a network I never watch. Hell, until a friend gave me a call earlier tonight, I had forgotten I was even going to this.

If you're wondering why I'm going...I guess it's a mixture of unfulfilled dreams as a kid, and the pushing of friends to go with them. Otherwise, I'm fairly unexcited.

IDK, this was my wrestling thought of the moment...I felt to share this with you all.

<font color=goldenrod>I went to a Smackdown/ECW taping a few weeks back. You won't regret it, live events are always fun even when the product is down. I went to Raw live a few years ago that I thought was awesome in person only to come home and find that everyone watching on TV thought it sucked...the atmosphere makes it.

Also, not sure why you don't think you can have a camera on you...I took a ton of pics.</font>

More or less because this is the only camera I have...

It primarily a video camera, but it's the best thing I have when it comes to a photocamera as well. If I could have just threw it in my pocket and take it out for some snap shots later on, that would be awesome...but I'm being told I'm getting patted down on my way in, and fear it will be confiscated.

<font color=goldenrod>They'll let you bring it in, cameras are always allowed for pictures. :y:

However, if you are caught recording a video, that's when you'll be warned...and even at that, some security guys don't give a fuck. I recorded like 939484 vids on my camera phone.</font> :o

You'll have a good time. Being there live makes the show a lot better.

Just don't watch it on TV or you'll be wondering how you had such a good time.

Don't worry about the camera. They always say that on the tickets. Load of bollocks really.

A live show is nothing like watching on TV. You'll have a good time :y: Even stuff like the set, the pyro and the noise just makes it an awesome experience.

Try to get a S A G chant going.

Actually starting to get a little more into it now...keep forgetting about people telling me that the show in person is so much different than watching it on tv. Hoping to have a good time. :)

Also going to try to get a "Melt that Belt" chant started when Hardy comes out. :y:

Its amusing how regular people aren't allowed to record video, but any celebrity in the front row can be armed with a video camera and fuck all is said to them. :mad:
