So I finally get to go to a WRESTLEMANIA show after 34 years, with my son... but the product sucks now..im hoping things will get better closer to MANIA for a good show, but part of me thinks, should I sell my ticks?? which cost me ALOT for 2 tickets,cause I wanted to GO BIG and do it right FOR OUR FIRST TIME..Or sit tight ,go to the show and just say screw it,its WRESTLEMANIA!!

Personally, other than Raw, I'd think the product is great. Smackdown is consistently great, NXT is delivering on a weekly basis, 205 Live has been on a roll most of the past year, and NXT UK has been fun.
But even iif you don't care for the current product, it's WrestleMania. There will be enough nostalgia to hold you off. It's a can't miss thing.

I personally don't think that the product has changed so drastically between the on sale date and today that one would consider selling their tickets over it. I feel as though if you're enough of a fan to have generally followed along, even at a distance, for a span of 34 years, then having tickets in hand and not capitalizing on the opportunity to be there is foolish. Every account of past WrestleMania I've happened by describes the experience of simply being there more a value than anything that should come after. If you'd gone deep on something like, say, Backlash, and just couldn't muster enough validity for the product to draw you in, that would be one thing...but it's WrestleMania. Moreover, it's an experience to share with your son. Presumably, he sees the product through a different lens than you. Taking him would be tantamount to bringing him to a concert you're less than enthused to attend - he'll remember the experience forever.
You don't cut out on the opportunity to go to the SuperBowl just 'cause your team doesn't make it. Sometimes, the experience is worth more than what's on display.

Dude, that’s gonna make your sons year. Go for him, his enjoyment will overwhelm your opinion of the product.

I've found that when I just let go of all my ridiculous ideas....... and go to an event with ZERO expectations...... I end up having the BEST time. Just know that you'll be seeing WWE's biggest show of the year...... don't expect to be "SHOCKED" or blown away by anything...... just go & take in the experience. I'll bet you'll have a great time!

Being there live is always different than watching on TV. The energy in the place alone will make it great.

You already bought the tickets, so I'd say go for it and try to enjoy it. I'm sure there'll be a match or two worth watching live.

I went to my first WM last year. Mania really is like the super bowl- no matter the current state of the product, you're going for the experience and to be a part of a truly larger than life spectacle. Go for it!
And if you're more a fan of old school, go to wrestle con

That is one sentiment I don’t get is everyone saying the product sucks....raw sucks...but other than that the wwe is doing well and offering something for everyone. Hopefully raw gets better but smackdown is had a run of some very good shows, both Nxt brands are awesome and 205 is a consistent 45 kin wrestling show. I agree with the mania is mania. You are going to wrestle freaking mania! It will be fun no matter what.

It’s WrestleMania near NYC. The experience alone is worth going regardless of the card.

I am and always will be an old scool fan over the current product but I finally had chance to go to mania 33 from the uk and it was an amazing experience. the atmosphere (both in Orlando the week before and at the event), meeting wwe stars like sheamus and charlotte at golds gym the day before, the meet and greets with Hogan and at wrestlecon, Axxess etc its totally worth it especially if you already have the tickets Go and you and your son will have memory that will be with you forever!

Go to it, you’ll have a blast. There are so many things that make it worth it and fun that never come across on camera. The product is the last thing that you’ll remember from that trip. I remember coming back to my hotel after WM29 and several other wrestling fans were getting out of their cars coming back from the show (this was after we had eaten so some people were already back) and we all starting singing the Fandango song as we walked through the parking lot...fans started opening their hotel room windows and singing the fandango song joining in lol. Stupid stuff like that makes you proud to be a wrestling fan and happy you went. Everybody just has a good time and everywhere you go you’ll be amongst wrestling fans...like IM serious...EVERYWHERE.
There’s a comeradery at shows like wrestlemania amongst wrestling fans that you’ll never forget. I remember going to the bathroom right before the show and somebody walks in and yells...15 minutes until showtime boys, hurry up. Lol, it’s a stupid thing but everybody there is a wrestling fan and having a good time. It’s like wrestling heaven

LOL depends on where your seats are and how young your son is. If he won't be able to see the ring and whatnot it might be boring to him. Maybe he won't get the concept of just enjoying the moment and just being there, ya know? A kid just sitting in a huge mass of people standing around can be overwhelming. Also depends on how much you get if you sell the tickets and whatever else. If it's doable, sell them and take him to Disney world that weekend and then find a place that will have it on PPV and enjoy it that way.
To me, it kinda sounds like you're more excited to go to the event than he is. You did emphasize the "I get to go". Now I'm just looking at it from the kids point of view. I know too many people who had what I wrote happen to them.
