WWE: 7 Things You Should Know If You Are Attending Your First House Show

2. Don't Bring A Sign

When people go to televised wrestling events they like to bring signs. It's a part of the experience. Since the late 1990s, signs have become really commonplace in WWE. You may see hundreds of them in an arena. Even people sitting in the upper decks will bring signs even though they're sitting so far away they won't be on TV. They don't care. They'll bring a sign anyway. If you're going to a house show, leave the sign at home. You're not going to get on TV. You may get the attention of the wrestler that may notice it, but for the most part all you're doing is annoying the people sitting behind you. Remember, if you're sitting on the floor the seats aren't slanted so you're basically blocking the view of those behind you. Be a considerate fan. It's the best way to be. The only exception to the sign rule would be if you have a child that's under the age of about 12 years old and you're sitting right by the ring. Then it's okay. The picture above is from live event I was at a couple of years ago with this little girl holding up a "you suck" sign at Ziggler. He did a promo about it, then gave her the microphone and she told him he sucked. It was a great moment. Another guy that usually does a good job of interacting with fans with signs is Alberto Del Rio. He tends to rip up a ringside sign at every show he's at. Usually what happens right after is the babyface gives that same kid their shirt to make them feel better. I've seen it at a few times both when Del Rio had Ricardo Rodriguez and when Del Rio was by himself. Kids in the front row can bring a sign. If you're sitting further back, just don't do it.
