If you can't get 2/3 rows from the front on the floor get a mid row, first tier seat. I went to one a few weeks ago and was like 1st row tiered and couldn't really see when the floor was standing.

My first WWE live thingie was a floor seat at a house show and it totally ruled. There's nothing like being able to really hear everything, especially the poo poo little kids scream at the ring and heels arguing back at them.

The crowd was super into Sandow when Raw was in Minneapolis last week. Just more proof that Minnesota should leave the US and join Canada.

This is just what happens when a company approved doctor with a book called "The Spine" performs surgery. Worse, if he really was hiding his injury and pain for that long before getting the work done, there's the risk that he might decide he needs to hide how badly he is doing from WWE and still try to do matches before he's actually recovered.
No the doctor they got was pretty legit and we have him to thank partially why Bruno got back with the WWE. Its not like he was the doctor who hosed up Rey's knees constantly.

Just caught smackdown, and man Wyatt/Ambrose was a cool match with a load of crisp-looking offense. Finally excited and looking forward to seeing Bray wrestle again after months of Cena purgatory. Also face Ambrose being just as weird and vicious as heel Bray was a fun dynamic. Those two have great chemistry

To anyone having a problem with the current product, I would also recommend watching NXT. It's fantastic and a product that TNA should have been. It's a raw wrestling show with a lot of good characters and storylines. And the plus side, its only an hour long. Just avoid the spoilers and enjoy wrestling. You are guaranteed one Honorable Mentioned wrestling match every week. To be honest, I wish Triple H would just make NXT his own federation separate from the WWE but that will NEVER happen.

Don't ever get floor seats. They suck. You only get one side of the ring to view. Stadium's much, it gives you the ability to look down upon the ring.

I can tell you that floor seats, while being closer to the ring, can generally suck depending on how your stadium is laid out. I say this because there's going to be X many rows of people in front of you and you'd be surprised and how many rows of heads block a lot of action. Everyone stands when wrestledudes enter anyway, so you basically can't see them coming down the aisle way at all. A low row in stadium seating is better always IMO because they are tiered so you can see the action while sitting down.

I think Andrews is more well known for specializing in muscle/ligament tears. He's most certainly the go-to guy for Tommy John surgeries on baseball players, and HHH saw him for his quad injuries.

Dr. Andrews is the go-to guy for elbow and occasionally shoulder work, he's not a neurologist or a head / neck specialist. Dr. Maroon is a board-certified neurosurgeon and I believe he's been associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers (who are notably cautious about neck injuries and concussions) for more than 20 years.

He pretty much is the go-to guy in all sports. He's operated basketball players (Jordan, Barkley), footballers (Aikman, Brady), baseballers (Clemens), wrestlers obiously, and even golfers (Jack Nicklaus). Back some 10 years or so ago he was practically in every single surgery video from the WWE, at least on the German version of their shows.

I've seen that video and a bunch of others of wrestlers making calls being heard on TV tons of times now. The first time I watched it it opened my eyes to seeing when it happened and now I feel like I'm pretty good and seeing when wrestlers do it (also because now there are more wrestlers with short hair) and I think one of the reasons why I really don't like Cena is the fact that he makes calls all the time facing cameras that are right on him like he doesn't even care. Every Cena match is easy to spot when he's making calls. Way to ruin my suspension of disbelief in wrestling, Cena :argh:

I know wrestling lingo is sometimes bad enough as it is, but I don't understand why there isn't some sort of system for calling spots. Watching botchamania, you'll see something like:

"Clothesline"
"Huh?"
"Give me a clothesline"
"Okay"

There's got to be something better than that? It reminded me of the curling at the Winter Olympics. Teams would try to shout tactics, not be able to hear each other, then give up and walk out to the middle of the field to talk to each other all the time.
