Wrestlemania experiences | WrestleZone Forums

I attended Mania 28 - the once in a lifetime Rock versus Cena - which turned out, of course, to be a load of crap. It was a weird night. I left my house with about 2 hours to spare, thinking it would take me that long to get there. In reality, it took me 15 minutes. Fortunately I had plenty of time, because the line to get into the stadium was long, and then the ushers literally had me walk the entire stadium FOUR times before I lucked out and found my seat myself.

By the time I got seated, I was dehydrated and my sugar levels were super low (I'm diabetic), so I had to go load up on sugar and snacks. I'm a fat dude - was even fatter then, and unfortunately, a fat guy and his girlfriend sat next to me. The seats were all tied together (I was on the floor close to the ring) so I couldn't slide away from them, which sucked not only because two fatties should never sit next to one another, but also because he and his girlfriend fought the whole damned time.

In addition to that, I discovered that night I had vertigo, as I kept almost fainting everytime I looked up at the big monitor. Why would I keep looking at the monitor if I had such great seats you ask? Because people are morons. Here is my advice to you:

1) Leave with plenty of time to get to the arena and be sure to consider the time it takes to stand in line, park, find your seat, grab a drink, go to the restroom early if you need to - stuff like that.

2) f you have inner ear issues like I do - bring some sort of ear plugs. It gets loud and you'll have a difficult time when the crowd goes apeshit everytime something happens.

3) Don't sit next to another fatty.

4) Purchase the headphone things so you can hear the commentators - makes it way better. You can buy them from a vendor.

5) If you sit on the floor and close to the ring, prepare to be pissed off. Unless you are ring side, morons will stand in front of you the entire show. This is because the people in front of them are standing, so from row 3 on back, everyone is standing or - worse - standing on chairs. You are almost better off not sitting on the floor, as you will be watching the action on the big screen.

6) Aside from the medical issue I had because apparently I am an old fat man or something, it was awesome and something I suggest everyone do at least once.

Finally, one thing I would like to say - everyone always says Daniel Bryan got over because of the Shaemus match and being squashed so quickly. Those YES chants began the moment we got to the arena, as I was standing in line - way before the match ever happened. Bryan was super over and it had nothing to do with the match. Ric Flair WOOs were also chanted loudly, and when Roc and Cena came out, you couldn't hear it was so loud.
