Live Event Pet Peeves

Actually, here's a story for you from the London live show back in November.

So it was my birthday on the day I was going. So we got there and everything was awesome, we was on the floor at the back somewhere. But towards the end of the show, 2 'kids' (about 18) appeared behind us, they either came super late or chair hopped. Oh my god, I was 5 seconds away from punching them both, they was dressed in suspenders and stupid crap. But, they was just ruining the show for everyone in my area with stupid chants like 'ref are you blind' and they even told a little girl who couldn't see in her row as she was trying to look in the asile and they told her to sit down and saying 'I only paid £60 for a ticket' and they was just being rude, now I paid that but I'd rather have a little kid enjoy the show than me, if a kid can't see behind me like before at a different show I went too, I would move out the way or offer them to be where I am. They also kept moving chairs from behind us to on our left to near the front and I don't think that's fair that they can take other seats. I just felt bad for the kids who had to listen to their rudeness.

Last year before WM 29 started there was some lady with her husband and kids in the seats in front of us and you could tell the lady was just a nasty and mean person. She kept getting into arguments with her husband and she said "Don't think I wont punch you in the face and make a scene in front of all these people here" THANK GOD they were in the wrong seats though and I confronted them when they were trying not to move and told them where they were supposed to be after I checked her ticket for her.

thats about the worst story I have nothing exciting here haha

There was this 9-10 year old kid in a Cena t-shirt a row behind me to the left at Mania 29. He kept chanting Cena during the whole damn show. Shield comes out, "LETS GO CENA!!" Triple H pedigree's Lesnar on the steps "LET'S GO CENA!!" I wanted to go up and punch his teeth down his throat several times.

A lot of my WrestleMania 29 pics are messed up, because this person kept holding a dumb sign that said "Happy Birthday Fat Cat".

The thing is, they kept holding it up facing the stage.... which, there is pretty much ZERO chance of getting it shown on camera (the camera never faces from the stage into the crowd).

So, I was trying to get pics of the AWESOME stage.... and most of my pics have this stupid "Fat Cat" sign in them.

Here's the Undertaker, posing on the stage after winning his 21st WrestleMania "Streak" victory..... I sure hope "Fat Cat" had a happy birthday.

I've been going to live events since 1998 and I can honestly tell you that 99% of the issues I've seen at these shows have all been sign related.

Signs blocking views, signs in the way, signs, signs, signs!

Back in 2007 at a house show while Randy Orton was wrestling, this redneck chick in front of me yells "Randy Orton gave me crabs." Stay classy WWE Universe.

I was 14 or 15. At a WWF show in NJ, my friend & I made signs. One side of the sign read "Neuter the Junk Yard Dog", and on the back it read "Hulk Homo".

After we got pelted with a few pieces of garbage, his dad made us keep the signs down.

I'd like to apologize for being a d*ck.

A bit of an annoyance that ended on a funny note happened at the Raw in Brooklyn the night after Money in the Bank last year.

They were hyping the premiere of Total Divas, the camera cut to some pretty chick in a neon yellow shirt, white pants, holding a sign that said "Make me a Diva." I noticed later in the show that a couple of dudes rows ahead of me over to the right through the entire night kept chanting at her. "Yellow shirt, white pants," seemed to be the occurring phrase. The girl eventually realized and turned around a few times, and she and her boyfriend both looked peeved.

I didn't pay it much attention, that's until RVD vs. Jericho was going down. We all remember this as an amazing match, and it certainly was, but this assclowns were still chanting this nonsense towards the girl. The guy sitting in front of me got fed up and yelled "What's the matter, never seen a girl before?" I joined in and yelled "Sit down you virgin!" The guy in front of me turned to me and asked "Next time, can you chant that?" and I said "Sure thing, buddy" We continued to watch the match, and as soon as we saw this guy stand up again to chant at the girl, I rose, and without any hesitation, everyone surrounding me joined me in a "Sit down virgin" chant.

The guy eventually heard us and turned around, kinda heeling it up at us. We kept chanting and heckling him. He tried to chant one more time after, and we heckled him again. Not a peep out of him the rest of the night, and we got to watch the rest of that awesome match. You might criticize us for diverting our attention from the match as well, but we did it to shut the guy up, and it worked.

Shortly thereafter, we were all pretty quiet during the final segment. Breaking that silence was the voice of a child, who couldn't have been any older that 5 years old, started to chant "Sit down virgin!" Our section broke out in laughter, me as well. I turned around and apologized to the parent, but he didn't seem to mad about it. He was laughing too.

Usually at shows, I tend to talk to the people around me, whether it be a kid, I keep kayfabe; "who is your favorite?..I like john cena too!" Or a dad who remembers the old days. So I genually get pleasant interactions, however..it does kind of irritate me when a fan is "smart" and has to show it off. (This bugs me for 2 reasons) 1. If you DO know spoilers...DON'T SPOIL IT FOR SOMEONE IN THE CROWD. And 2. Usually they're way wrong, I know they're wrong, but its not worth getting into a discussion about. Example at royal rumble this guy behind me stated: "I heard sting AND kurt angle are going to be in the rumble..watch!
