My excursion into the world of pro wrestling...
...or more aptly titled, how I answered, "Sure, why not?" when asked if I wanted to go. And it was a damn fun time.
Jeremy is VERY into wrestling, and I'm down for doing pretty much anything and respond very well to the words "let's go". I figured it'd be an experience, if nothing else. So I made myself a big sign that said "I have a sign!" and away we went to Monday Night Raw. I used to be into it when I was kid and had gone once with my parents, but we were up in the rafters so it was nothing like this. For THIS the two of us were sitting 4 rows from the ring, and only a few seats away from the aisle they walk down. And seeing as how we were in the expensive seats, everybody around us was quite hardcore and my initial reaction was "oh god, what have I gotten myself into". But with everybody around you screaming and adrenaline pumping music blasting and crazy lights and pyrotechnics it's very easy to get swept up into the spirit of the moment...only since I had seriously zero idea what was going on, for me it was more like "YAAAA! Beat that other guy!!!!".
I had a blast, I would totally go again any time they're in DC.
I wish I'd taken pictures. I wasn't entirely sure if cameras were allowed or not so I decided to err on the side of caution. I dvred it though, so here's my sign on tv. lol.
