Hey all!
Had the opportunity to attend my first ever NXT Live! show at the Tower Theater in Philly on Thursday night! While I was a bit nervous about driving into Upper Darby on a work/school night, as a friend of mine said to me - "You can sleep when you're dead." And I agree, what's a little lost sleep when there are wrestling shows out there?
When we arrived at Tower Theater, we heard from some of the other fans that Tye Dillinger had been outside handing out free hot chocolate to the freezing fans! We just missed that, but how cool!
Really strange setup at Tower Theatre - the ring is kind of halfway on the stage - the other half sits on top of the orchestra-pit area, which is where I was able to get seats (4th row). Which is kind of strange, as you're sort of looking up at the ring! For that reason, I had a hard time getting action shots, but I was able to get a lot of cool entrance photos....
I also got taken aside by security, who wanted to check my ticket & my ID..... I asked if there was some kind of problem - she replied that there were duplicate tickets for our seats? I told her that I bought them legit from the Ticketmaster website...... she didn't come back, so I assume they figured it out.....
Biggest pops: Shinsuke Nakamura, and Asuka...... Bobby Roode had a lot of heat with the Philly crowd!
Main Event: DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) with Shinsuke Nakamura def. The Authors of Pain (w/o Paul Ellering) & Bobby Roode.... crowd was nuts for this!
Overall, we had a blast, and all agreed as we were walking back to the car that we'd do this again anytime! Can't wait until NXT comes back to Philly! My general impression from the fans in attendance was that everyone was absolutely thrilled to be there & having a wonderful time - there was just a jubilant vibe in the air, which I don't always get at shows in Philadelphia!
Thanks for looking!
