I admit it's been a while since I caught a house show, but the only time I've had a better experience at a live wrestling event was a PPV.
A lot of good points have been covered, but I'll run down my list anyway.
- From a wrestling standpoint, matches are usually far better than on TV -- wrestlers get more time, and are allowed to actually wrestle more. (I left my last house show with a greater appreciation for a few talent's in-ring abilities.)
- Wrestlers have more leeway and can have more fun in the ring. There's also, arguably, more in-ring storytelling and psychology.
- Promos tend to get more leeway too. Last house show I was at one of the heels ran down Seattle for the weather and whatnot, and Flair later cut a promo putting Seattle over by recounting some brief anecdotes and memories about times past in the area.
- There's no big entrance stage and pyro.
- A lot less filler material, no commercial breaks, and obviously no backstage segments.
Now, like I said, it's been a while since I was at a show... so things may have changed... but from the other posts, it doesn't sound like too much is different. I would strongly suggest going, it's pretty cheap and it's usually a lot of fun.
