I've been to a few house shows over the years, a couple in the mid 90's and some recently and a couple RAW shows aswell and they have been good for the most part. But nothing can compare with having floor seats at Wrestlemania 18, I have never been in a place with an atmosphere like that. The fukking ground was shaking during that Rock vs Hogan match it was insane.

I've been so many times I've forgotten.

But, IMO, getting ringside seats or within the first several rows is the ONLY way to go. When you sit far away you don't really feel like part of the show.

But al in all, depending upon what's going on it can be great or very average.

These days I wouldnt go to a house show at all. But when Austin was around, and Rock was around or before that, Hogan....I'd definitely go to a house show. However the one cool thing about house shows is that the wrestlers do break character a bit more often and interact w/ the crowd since it's not on TV.
I'm gone have to go and get up close seats. I've been like three times total but only had so so seats and would've preferred watching from home. It did fukk me up how small the ring looks in person.

Sadly my favorite event I've been too was the TNA where they had every match in a cage at St. Louis. They had some laughably bad stuff on there but some sick shyt too. I actually loved that one.

Still mad I missed kicking it with all the TNA wrestlers. They were all staying in the same hotel and the bachelor party I was in town for all hung with them all night in the hotel bar while I had bounced early to hit a family event.

I've been to countless shows through out my life.. like probably 30-40 different ones including SummerSlam 1995, King of the Ring 1998, No Way Out 2005, Bragging Rights 2009 and Royal Rumble 2014.

They're always fun.. well most of the time they are. I've been to a few RAW events the past few years where the show was so shytty It kind of hindered the experience, but back in the mid 90's to early 2000's they were always a blast.

Definitely the closer you are the better. I payed $150 for my ticket to the Rumble and I was three rows off of the floor. Totally worth it, even if the show was lackluster. The crowd experience and proximity from the ring made up for it.

House Shows used to be a blast too.. better than RAW or SD tapings.. now I have no clue what they'd be like.

This. Once I sat ringside, it raised the bar tenfold. Just a completely different experience. If I can't get floor seats from ticketmaster, I just pay extra on the secondary market, it's worth it.

I've never had a bad time at a show.

I went to 3 WWE events. 2 live untelivised events in Madison Square garden, and in Orlando for Wrestlemania 24,

I had a better time watching at Madison square garden, Wrestlemania 24 felt too distracting with that large stadium, it was better watching it on tv

Ive only been once and it was the RR when it was in boston a couple years ago. I wasnt even really watching it on tv like that at the time (i got the tix as a gift) but it was dope to be there and see it in person.

Duuuuuvaaaaal!!
I've only been to three wrestling events. All ecw shows at the old ecw arena during the height of their run. It was pure pandemonium each time. I stanned out when I got the chance to get beer'd up by Sandman. So I've been really spoiled. :obama:

I been to a few house shows and a raw back in the 90s. think I might've gone to a smackdown too. used to go with my dad and brother and the old guy that lives next door. once I got old enough to go myself I had lost interest and my friends weren't into it. I could've gone to wrestlemania 28 but had a falling out with my friend that likes wrestling and went himself. we on better terms tho so might hit him up if a televised event comes down here again. glad I didn't go to hiac since Daniel Bryan didn't win. anyways it's pretty cool seeing it live. as a kid I was in awe of how big the superstars were.
