10 Live Observations From Attending WWE NXT At Madison Square Garden

1. Wrestling Fans Are Jackasses

Overall, the show was a good one. There were some lousy matches, but the exciting ones more than made up for the boring stuff. Unfortunately, there was one major negative throughout the event - the fans.

To be fair, not all wrestling fans are awful - there are families there looking to have a good time, people who want to watch the matches, and the like. The problem is that you always seem to be sitting near a bunch of guys who are just trying to get themselves over to other guys just like them, and in the process, they end up revealing that they're terrible people and alienating the rest of the audience.

Wednesday's show was no exception, with one particularly vocal section of fans yelling racist and sexist comments and really making the environment hurtful and unpleasant. To anyone out there who thinks that's appropriate behavior or that you're adding to the show in any way, do everyone a favor and just stay home next time.
