General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

All In was def the best show tho, I just remember certain moments and matches from the TVs I've been too, not really the shows as a whole

 

[Chris]

The ROH Final Battle I was front row for was probably the best single experience I've had at one show, that was the luckiest ticket I've ever gotten, found it the day befor on stubhub for like $200 below market value

 

[Chris]

It had the briscoes vs FTR in the dog collar match

 

[PhantomStar]

Best show I was at was probably Bad Blood 2024. Not a good show quality wise but I was with my buddies and we all had fun. Plus me and my friend got to play DB Sparking Zero early and got some sick shirts and lanyards in return

 

[Chris]

The only WWE show I've actually been to was a January 2005 raw house show in Tyler, Texas lol

 

[Chris]

They ran here for TV so much after I moved to Dallas when I was still watching but it was always just such an inconvenient weeknight drive for me compared to AEW which actually ran in a suburb very close to me most of the time

 

[PhantomStar]

Meh, they're okay nowadays. Nothing too special but theyre fun live. Probably the only time WWE is watchable is if youre actually there and with friends

 

[Chris]

I generally have a good time at any sporting event live regardless of how little I follow the sport so with wrestling that's always a no brainer really, it's mostly just ticket prices that gets me down lmao

 

[PhantomStar]

That's fair. Ticket prices are dismal nowadays. My mom has been talking to me about wanting to take me to see the Eagles vs Titans at Nissan Stadium but the ticket prices are outrageous

 

[Chris]

With WWE shows I worry about the downtime between matches if it's a PLE ngl tho TV and house shows I assume are still fine, I know Netflix is always broadcasting shit international so they still have segments throughout

 

[Chris]

That's fair. Ticket prices are dismal nowadays. My mom has been talking to me about wanting to take me to see the Eagles vs Titans at Nissan Stadium but the ticket prices are outrageous

I was actually looking to splurge on All In and see the new game of thrones play in England as a bachelor trip this year and the tickets were fine enough for not great seats that I would have been happy with but Jesus the flights were absurd I had to kill that idea quick

 

[PhantomStar]

The only WWE house show I went to was fun. It was at the james brown arena in augusta, an old, kinda run down venue that was literally getting demolished the next week. Got a great view of the show and it had some fun matches

 

[Chris]

My problem is I've gotten gluttonous and I don't really wanna go if I'm not like front row or very close bc of the few experiences I've had where I got to do that and it was just so much more fun

 

[Chris]

And even for like NJPW I think I paid over $100 to do that and they only sold 10% of the god damn venue

 

[Chris]

That was a wild time tho bc they basically seated me directly beside the commentators, I was brushing legs with walker Stewart all night and could always hear them which was actually fun af
