So, for those who are not aware, I'm a huge fan of WWE (professional wrestling). I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I would like others to respect that I like it (regardless of how "fake" or "childish" some people find it). Anyways, I haven't really posted a WWE-related post in a while, so I wanted to make that one clear. I haven't been to a WWE events since October of 2017. It's not because I didn't want to go, or because they didn't come around, but because the finances and/or timing wasn't right. However, I've been dying to go to a WWE Smackdown event, as most of my top favorites are on that show. They came here last May but I didn't have the money to spare. Since they split the rosters between Raw (the Monday show) and Smackdown (the Tuesday show) in 2016, May was actually the first time that WWE Smackdown has come to Baltimore since the last time the rosters were split. Welp, my best friend got us tickets for Christmas, and the show is tomorrow night! Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio are advertised, and they just recently added John Cena to the show, so I'm super excited to see them. I know the talent and card are always a subject to change though, so hopefully it doesn't change for my show. I haven't seen Randy and John since 2015, and it's been even longer since I've seen Rey. I saw Jeff last year, but I'm excited to see him again. I'm assuming Shane McMahon won't be there since his role is more of a television thing, and this is a non-televised event. Anywho, we're sitting in section 116 for the show. I've been in that section before, and those are great seats. :) I'm planning to wear my Hardy Boyz shirt, Randy Orton jacket/hat and John Cena accessories, and I'll see what I have of Rey besides my "Silly Bandz" (which are just colored bracelets in the shape of the wrestlers, but you can't tell when you're wearing them). I haven't gotten any of that together yet, so I'll do that when I get offline. I also need to find the charger to my battery camera. I've been taking my phone only to WWE events and NKOTB concerts because I thought it'd be easier, but I'd rather take my digital camera again too. I have the camera and the battery, but the battery is dead and I misplaced both chargers (it's been a while since I've used the camera) so I need to find one of them. Other than that, I need to pack a smaller purse (larger purses are prohibited inside the arena), and I guess I'm good to go for tomorrow. Needless to say, I'm excited. :D I don't know if I'll be on MyLot before the event, so if not, I'll probably be back in a few days. I need to speed up my posts/interactions here if I want to make payout for January, BUT, if I'm busy then I'm busy. I'll do my best though. I don't go to the arena the morning of the events anymore, but I do need to walk to the store for some snacks and flavor packets for my water, as it's payday for me. We're not leaving until after 5pm, but who knows what else I'll be up to. There's always a chance I'll go through my notifications, but I doubt I'm gonna post anything. Anyways, whether you celebrate the holidays or not, I hope the week has been good to you all. I also hope you all have a fun New Year's Eve and a great New Year. Take care, everyone. :) Photo Credit: My friend snapped this picture of me at WWE SummerSlam 2015, which was a fun event of course. :)

What do you enjoy about WWE? I used to be a wrestler, so I find it kind of silly, but I admire the athleticism of the guys (and gals) doing it. I'd pull a muscle if I jumped off of those ropes now. If I went to a "match," I'd probably get tipsy and pretend to be into it, with lots of boos and cheers.

I just find it entertaining, the matches and segments. I grew up with it, and it can be an "escape" for me, as movies are for others. I'm not athletic enough to ever wrestle, I'll just stick with being a fan lol.

@tammys85 Did you think it was "real" when you were young? My only misgiving about WWE etc. is that some parents let their tiny kids watch it, and some littlies don't have the body control not to hurt little sister when they use the moves on her that they see on TV. By the way, I'm a baseball fan, and I know that baseball can be deathly BORING to those who didn't grow up with it.

@TheHorse I didn't think it was "real" for long, as I didn't start watching it full time until I was 11. My Dad pretty much told us if we do the moves on each other or anyone else, we were done watching it, so that was nipped in the bud. I also told my nieces and nephew here the same when they were smaller. WWE does tell them "don't try this at home" but parents also need to let them know it's not okay to do the moves. Oh I know wrestling can be boring to those who aren't into it. I've just had other people question as to "how fans can watch it" - not in a curious way, but more like "I don't like it, why do you" way.

Thank you so much! I had a great time seeing my favorites! My Mom helped me and we found the charger shortly after making this post. It even had the spare battery in it. :) I have it in a better spot, with my camera, now.

Awesome! Who are some of your favorites? Yeah, it seems like even the cheaper seats are getting higher in price. This was my first event since October of 2017. I skipped a house show in January of 2018 and a Smackdown in May of 2018 because of the prices. I did have fun, thank you!

@MissNikki Oh we have a few in common lol! My all-time favorite is Shawn Michaels, and I also like the Undertaker, Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, John Cena, Matt Hardy, Shane McMahon, Cody Rhodes, Braun Strowman, Elias, New Day, Lita, Trish, Becky Lynch, Naomi, The Shield, etc. And Roddy Piper (R.I.P.), Road Dogg, the rest of DX, Edge, Christian, Stone Cold, Ted DiBiase Jr., etc. I think I cheer more than I boo, except Brock Lesnar. I've NEVER been a fan, not even in 2002 or whenever he was there the first time. He's always rubbed me the wrong way. But Shawn.... Shawn will always be my number one. I was Lita for Halloween when I was 15yrs old, and John Cena a few years ago when another costume of mine fell through. I wanted to try a Mad Hatter thing, but the hat was in bad shape, so I pulled out my John Cena jersey, hat and accessories. I also dressed up as a "cowgirl" sort of one yet, with my HBK cowboy hat.

@tammys85 Well, I have a lot of favorites, but the very first ones to come to mind are ... Bayley (I dressed up as her for Hallowe'en, will have to show you a pic sometime), Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Ember Moon, and I'm starting to love Nikki Cross who just came over from NXT. As for the guys, I love Braun Strowman, Dean Ambrose (even though I don't like the character development at the moment, still love him), Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns (I was so sad when I heard about his battle with leukemia), Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, Finn Balor, John Cena, New Day ... I really kinda like something about almost all of them at this point LoL

You're very lucky to even meet your favorite wrestlers. Sorry but I'm not into the recent ones.

Thank you. I won't be meeting any of them tomorrow, just seeing them. Sometimes you can meet them outside the arena before an event, if they want to stop and sign (they're not obligated), but I've opted not to go downtown early tomorrow.
