7 Things You Only Learn From Attending WWE Live

4. Upselling Is WWE Law

Anyone purchasing a ticket to a WWE house show might believe they'll be spared the endless Network shills or merchandise plugs. If so, they're in for a big shock. At live events, the promotion go overboard with it and try to sell, sell, sell as much as they possibly can in each unique market.

Of course they do, they're a touring business.

It's not really that big a problem either. They're savvy enough to pick their spots, and it's hardly annoying that the ring announcer would direct everyone's attention to new t-shirts on sale at the merchandise stalls, or offer up discounts for the Network to those willing to participate; to WWE, live events are blatantly a connection tool for consumers they'd like to squeeze as much from as possible.

As a slight caveat to this point, it is rather irritating when wrestlers are asked to jam some Network promotion into their promos, but only because this comes across as too forced. When it's left to the tron, ring announcer or merch workers themselves, upselling is forgiveable.

Just as well, 'cause it's WWE law.
