I went to SummerSlam, and paid for front row tickets. The trip cost me around $4,00O, most of which were the ringside tickets right by the ECW announce table.

This brings me onto DX... A group that won't be told what to do, what to say, or how to act. The embodiment of DX lives in having a free spirit and doing what you want to do. I held up a sign that stood for what DX means, but by no means was I cheering for them. "Are You 50"
Before DX came out to the ring a security guy came up to me and said he needed my sign. With one motion of his arm retracting with my sign in his hand, my freedom of speech, one of the freedoms our brave men and women of the armed forces has fought and died for, was retracted by a hypocritical corporation.
So go on and keep waving your American flags for ratings, and shill out merchandise that says you're patriotic.
If you wish to assuage an unsatisfied fan I will not settle for any apology short of a copy of The Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior dvd.
I hear ya about the sign thing, regardless of whether or not buying a ticket or tickets to a WWE event constitutes a "contract" between fan and promoter or not. It's one thing to not be able to cheer and boo vocally whoever the hell you please at one of their live events (something which has never happened to me, nor have I been stopped by dirty looks or comments from people around me, I just keep going till I feel like stopping), but it's ridiculous to try and stifle fans' creative, non-vocal support/dislike of a certain superstar who Vince refuses to stop pushing through outer space.

I also find it somewhat hypocritical that WWE allows digital photography at their events but not recording. I realize the fear is that some jerk will try to record the whole thing and burn it onto a bunch of cheap DVD-R's and sell them for big bucks on the streets, but I'd be willing to bet the vast majority, if allowed to shoot video, would simply use it to upload videos to YT and the like, to show others that "Hey, this is what all went down at (show here)..." Completely harmless, except for the one jerk out of every, maybe 100,000 fans or so worldwide.
