It's since I was 7 years old that I have been watching wrestling on TV... Hulk Hogan, Rick Flair, The Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker... It's crazy, fake, what you want, but I wanted do get shot to it too sooner or later... and this was the right time and place.
Well, it's not a METAL gig and it didn't gear me up... at least not as I would expected. But it was a funny experience! I certainly had a chance to see an interesting selection of mankind! I guess you have to leave at home part of your brain to really enjoy this stuff... to take out the sleeping ape that is buried somewhere inside yourself since before civilization, and you will probably be able to enjoy it! Certainly kids do! It was packed with kids...
In any case we got to see ECW and SMACK DOWN one after the other (I didn't know they film them the same day). It was a strange feeling to have in front of you the people you see only on TV, but it was really interesting to get a grip of the giant organization behind the event... cameramen, announcers, etc. We got to see CM Punk, Finley, The Great Khali, the "big red machine" Kane, Edge, Batista...
It a was a bit of a delusion the fact that there is no comment during the show! Yep, the the one you get during TV broadcast... I guess it is to sell the event twice...! Anyway, the matches moved on quite quickly... perhaps too quickly (many dead times filled with screen footage). But highlight events, such as Kane or Batista matches did grab our attention for a while! After all a Batista bomb is always a Batista bomb!
It's once in a life time, though!
Good hot-dogs...!
