Going to Raw is always great, Smackdown is, well, Smackdown, and a PPV is pretty much guaranteed to be a good time. Of course, as all of those are televised, chances are you might not think it's worth bothering with a house show when one rolls into town. Honestly, you couldn't be more wrong. It's because these aren't on TV that the wrestlers actually get to have a lot more fun. You'll see matches you would never get on the shows mentioned above (that's apparently very much the case with NXT's recent live tour), while the fact that the wrestlers haven't been micromanaged to death means they have a lot more freedom in the ring. As a result, it's common to go to one of these things and see an A+ match. From personal experience, I can honestly say that the bout I watched between Randy Orton and Seth Rollins back in April was better than any which followed at PPV's like Extreme Rules. If you'd rather stick to going to the big shows - understandable given the fact that WWE Live events obviously don't attract the likes of Brock Lesnar...though they sometimes do; just look at The Rock's surprise appearance in Buffalo earlier this year - that's fair enough, but try one of these out at least once. You may just be surprised!
