Who here has seen a pay-per-view in person?
The WWF had one in Vancouver BC that I tried to get tickets for but they were sold out by the time I got through :(

Wrestling rarely comes to our area at all. I'm in Northern California, 3 hours north of the Bay Area in Redding.
I saw a local indie show that SUCKED. There was maybe 3 rows back worth of people there only. They didn't even sell beer or concessions of any sort. And the main attraction was the Honkey Tonk Man...in the 2000s. They were called "Big Time Wrestling". What was really funny, is that they were selling WCW and WWE merchandise (and this was after WCW was long gone) rather than their own.
WWE did come to our town once for a house show. And it was pretty good. Obviously nothing big happened since it wasn't aired on T.V. But we still got to see stars like Cena, HHH, and Christy Hemme in action. (I REALLY saw Christy Hemme in action when she bent over in front of me in a short skirt so she could give the microphone to some kid in the audience ;) )

This guy. When I was in college a friend of mine's wife won tickets on the radio. So, we saw The Undertaker fight Brock Lesner in a Hell in the Cell match in Little Rock. I wasn't into wrestling at the time, so I can't remember much other than that. It was fun though.
*edit* It was No Mercy in 2002. I had to google it. I couldn't remember.

That's awesome. That was closer to the time when wrestling was awesome.
