WWE Live: Why You Should Attend Live Wrestling Events in Your Area

Attending a WWE live event is worth the price of admission. I recently shelled out $50 to sit 6 rows from the ring in floor level seating. It was not easy to make that purchase, but I am so glad I paid the extra money to sit so close to the action. If you have not taken the opportunity to see WWE live near you, you need to at least try to go.

I have been watching professional wresting since the late 1970s. Pro wrestling has been a source of entertainment and discussion material for friends and family alike. We could always comment on watching AWA, NWA, WCW, WWF, CCW, and any other wrestling organization we happened to find on television or in the pages of wrestling magazines. However, none of those experiences match up to seeing superstar sports entertainers performing live. Why do I say that?

First of all, you are closer to the action than you would ever be unless you were in the ring yourself. Not only can you see all the action "up close and personal" but you also get to do so without television editing, camera angles, and commercials. When WWE Raw breaks for commercial during a grudge match, the action in the ring does not stop. You get to see everything without missing a beat. If you look to the Titantron screen, you can see what the television viewers see. In addition to a different view of the matches from television, you'll also get to see special untelevised "dark matches" just for the local crowd. Sometimes you'll see local talent. Sometimes you'll see up and coming talent about to make a push for the "big time." Other times, you'll see blockbuster matches featuring superstars reserved just for the local card.

Second, you get to hear all the action. When you're watching on television, you hear the ringside announcers and the microphone holding entertainers. Sure, you get to hear some of the stadium noise, but not much. It's way too easy for the production crew to edit out any sounds they don't want the television crowd to hear. When you're there live, you can hear it all. Cheers for the bad guy, chants for other wrestling promotions, and more can be heard easily. Heck, you can join in. As a matter of fact, my section had a fondness for the heel wrestlers the whole night. Our affinity for the baddies was shared by large sections of the crowd, especially booing babyfaces like John Cena.

Lastly, you are in the midst of an electrifying crowd experience. Good action in the ring means high fives and spilled beer. Slow action gets the whole crowd booing or chanting derogatory remarks. You have to be there to believe it, but I can assure you that you will not regret your purchase. In fact, the fans in the nosebleed section were having just as much fun as we were on the floor.

When you're visiting the WWE website (or TNA, I'll mention the "other guy") look to see when they are coming to your area. Maybe you have to drive an hour or so. Make the drive. Get some $15 tickets or brave the floor section. Have a great 3-4 hours of entertainment with some friends. Then you'll be writing about your experience, how you almost got into a fight with that John Cena look alike, and how expensive the food was. No matter what, you'll have stories to tell that you won't soon forget.
