Someone needs a smackdown REALLY bad! 

by Athena   

    You know you are in SERIOUS trouble when you are at a live wrestling event, and you are more interested in the 

goings on between matches than the actual matches themselves. I must say that it's a damn good thing that they 

have four or five hours to choose from when choosing what actually airs on TV. After what I saw Tuesday, 

either the WWF roster needs a break, or I have reached the point where live events no longer excite me.

    I know right now I have a shitload of people who are ready to give me the smackdown, 

and I am sure a few of them were in attendance at the Worcestor Centrum Center this past Tuesday, but if you haven't figured

 out it out yet, I'm not afraid to speak my mind. In fact, I welcome any comments, positive or negative, you have for me. 

So feel free to e-mail me.

    Anyways, back to the taping. I was about 25 or 30 rows back from the ring, which, the way the arena is set up, 

gave me a great view. That was until all the idiots with ten million signs saying ABSOLUTELY NOTHING showed up. I love the 

signs and even took pictures of the ones that I thought were cute or brilliant, but some of these had nothing to do 

with what we were all there to see....

    And what WERE we all there to see?? Well,  I know I was there to see some really intense wrestling and acting 

(YES, I said acting....I do love the storylines for the most part). I guess I was a minority though. Throughout most of 

the event, there was people chanting "we want puppies", and they weren't necessarily chanting it because Debra was out there.

 In fact, I saw more girls ejected for flashing their breasts in that one show, that the past two shows I witnessed live together. 

One guy even had a sign saying "Newborn Puppies" with an arrow pointing to his girlfriend's chest. 

(Honey, I would dump him FAST! He's NOT a good catch)

She stood up and waved the crowd away, letting them know she would NOT be showing her puppies, 

but the couple got ejected anyway. When security let them back in, the attention turned from a good match 

(Mankind vs. Rock), to everyone screaming  and applauding them being allowed back in. The poor girl did flash a 

sign saying "Sorry", but I for one was not sorry she didn't flash. I don't need to see what I already have, and they 

are all natural with no preservatives. It bothered me immensely that so many people were intensely scanning 

the audience, instead of paying attention to the goings on IN the ring. 

    That was not the only thing that disturbed me. I know that we have seen stuff come flying down out of the rafters, 

nearly missing the people that are busting their asses (injured or not; sick or healthy) just for our entertainment. 

Let me tell you, the amount of crap I saw flying through the air made me SICK! People, think for a moment; 

if you step on something wet or slippery, what happens?? Yeah, you are most likely taking a fall on your ass! At the VERY LEAST

 you could twist an ankle or throw out your back, so why do you think it is going to be any different for them? 

And then this occurred to me: the morons that are throwing things PAID TO DO THIS!!! It's a good thing the ring crew and 

referees keep an eye out for things like that and take care to get  out of harms way, or else you would see more

 people getting hurt. In fact, (this got cut from the taping) when Kane was running down the ramp to get involved in X-Pac's match, 

it looked as if he almost slipped or tripped. Well, he IS wearing a mask you say.....Yeah, he does move extremely well for someone 

who has a good portion of his of his field of vision cut off from him. Well, what if someone had whipped a cup with some left over beer (LEFT OVER BEER?! Is there such a

 thing?....Kitty) on to the ramp? The result could have been dangerous for him.

    Listen, all I am saying is this; these people are out on the road over 200 days per year putting on a show for their own benefit.

 NOT! They do it for us, the fans. Whether they have the flu or a migraine (or a torn groin muscle....Kitty), 

or if they are just plain EXHAUSTED, they do it anyway. We need to give them the proper respect for their phenomenal efforts

 (hehehe...you said phenom...Kitty), instead of playing our childish games. I figure at this point you are wondering if 

I will ever go to another live event. Well, look for me in the tenth row of section four, and if I catch you being an asshole

 and throwing stuff, I'll be the one smacking you in the back of your head.
