7 Things You Only Learn From Attending WWE Live

5. Most Fans Are Still There To Have A Good Time

Originally, this entry was going to be used as an excuse to bash those fans who deliberately troll others for enjoying themselves and only seem there to treat the product with disdain. They'll jeer the faces, cheer the heels, chant things like, "We Are Awesome" or (and WWE hate this) start a "CM Punk" shout for no reason at all.

Thankfully, they're the minority, and a trip to any WWE live event proves it.

Whilst watching on the Network, yours truly text a friend to say the crowd seemed dead during Survivor Series compared to the previous night's NXT TakeOver. Immediately, that pal replied with a hearty, "What show are you watching?", and said the fans in LA were actually quite lively in his section. WWE's mics must have been placed elsewhere.

This is just one example. When attending in person, it's clear to see that most fans are there to have a good time, not to ridicule what they're seeing, hijack WWE's booking or vilify the main roster for not being NXT. That's refreshing to know in an age when fans feel like part of the show more than they ever have.
