I have made plenty of trips to professional wrestling shows over
the years. I have been to four pay-per-views, two live Raw shows, five house shows, and
multiple independent events. Each time has been a different experience for me.
Plus, I am attending Heroes and Legends Wrestling inaugural event on
March 23 so this will help prepare me for the day.
First of all, do
not take your children if they are too young. This focuses primarily on the
pay-per-views. I attended WrestleMania
23 when I was 14 years old, and I loved going. However, whenever I
look back at that day, I realize I made so many mistakes. I chose poor moments
to use the restroom; I focused more on taking pictures of the
"TitanTron" than watching the in-ring action. The worse thing about
the night was the younger kids who sat behind us. They left midway through the
show. I'm assuming to prevent the children from staying up too late on a school
night. Don't take young people to big wrestling shows. It will be a waste of
money.
Attending shows with
friends follows not taking children. Whether or not they watch wrestling on a
regular basis, taking a few friends to tag along makes for a great time. From
my experiences, those who do not watch regularly have a good time which has
made them want to watch more often. Wrestling shows allow anyone to be loud and
obnoxious without judgment coming from anyone.

Along with
attending with your friends, make sure you buy tickets that allow your group to
sit with each other. When I attended Raw this
past June, my friends and I decided to sit in the front few rows. We also
wanted to pay for them separately. The only problem that occurred was not
finding seats next to each other. We ended up with three tickets that were in
three different rows. Luckily (somewhat), one of my friends could not attend so
we had to sell his ticket. This allowed my other friend and me to sit two rows
from each other rather than on the opposite side of the arena. The show
entertained us, but we both would have enjoyed it more sitting side by side.
