So I was thinking...

Sounds like a good idea. I've probably been to something like 40 live shows over the years, ranging from local promotions such as Heartland Wrestling Association to WWE PPVs (InVasion (Stone Cold joins the Alliance) and Backlash 2006 (God's wrestling debut)). I almost always have a good time.

Tips? Hmm. Well, I wouldn't bother with signs, if I were you. They seem like a fun idea to maybe get on TV for half a second, but they usually end up becoming a pain in the ass to carry around. Also, there's the chance you put any sort of effort into one and it gets confiscated at the gate. A friend of mine (a girl, mind you) got her sign taken at Backlash. It was when Carlito had that shirt that asked "DO YOU SPIT OR SWALLOW?". Her sign said "HEY CARLITO, I SWALLOW". Clever, I thought. Not so much to them. I had a sign that said "CENA DOESN'T SUCK...THAT BAD". He definitely stopped and stared at it during his entrance, looking very confused.

What else...ah, seats!

Your first inclination (if you're willing to pay for it) is going to be to get floor seats. Floor seats are great if you can get somewhere within the first five rows or so, but anything beyond that, your best bet is going to be the very first level above the floor. The floor gets muddled, and it can be hard to see if people are annoying with their signs. Back in the day, kids on the floor used to run up to the barricade at the beginning and end of every match to try and slap hands with their favorite superstars, but that behavior seems to have been quelled today. The first level up will give you a nice view of everything, and it's stadium seating, so you don't have to worry about some tall dickhead with a big hat or something being in front of you.

I'm going to keep going here...

Don't be reserved. You may feel like a big nerd for cheering or booing, but the fact of the matter is that you're already there, so you may as well make the most of it. I've noticed that the more I get into the show, the more inclined the people next to me are to do the same thing. It's just more fun that way. Especially when you're a Cena fan sitting next to a Punk fan (or any other example you can think of). Getting drunk may aid you here. Be mindful of your surroundings though, because a lot of today's audience will be kids, so you probably shouldn't yell things like "FUCK ZACK RYDER" around them. You probably already knew that much.
