One time I (Me) went to a WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) Show (Event). I booed (Disapproved) of John Cena and made 2 nearby (close in proximity) girls (Females) Angry (Unhappy)
I don't think (doubt) that my life (time on this earth) was in danger (Peril)

It surely has to be, I haven't read anything so dumb in ages... If true then i have little sympathy you were trying to show off and came off rather silly.

To the OP if I was there I would have cheered that Father on and hoped he would have kicked the crap out of you.

I've had some people give disapproving looks when I was cheering someone who wasn't popular, and a few have screamed at me for chanting stuff. Nothing really threatening physically.
But here's something that bugs me. When did it become verboten to cheer for someone you like? When did we as fans decide to let ourselves get bullied by the mouthbreathers in Batista and Cena gear? Because they've got the numbers? That's not the American way of things. Yeah, the OP was a real jackass for using real names and being aggressively smarky, but when did everyone decide to turn against people that still enjoy wrestling, and not as people who find Hornswoggle's shenanigans funny, but actually enjoy the actual wrestling? I like discussing the wrestling and having fun and joking around? I've seen crowds that just sit there, watch the matches, cheer when they're supposed to, and go home? How is that ENJOYMENT? That's like not laughing at a funny movie because people might miss something.
It burns me up how people are so easy to castigate the smarks for "ruining" things for others and get caught up in things as much as anyone else. And I know I'm gonna get crucified for this, so I'll get off the cross while I have a chance.
And yes, I am being serious. Please throw your tomatoes...now.

I've cheered heels before; that isn't the issue. According to how he wrote his experience (I'm going under the assumption that it was for real), he was being overbearing and loud. He himself said he didn't want to be there, so he was just being unnecessarily obnoxious in trying to show how much "smarter" and "cooler" he is for loudly going against the grain. Also, it's good to know that those of us who happen to find enjoyment in both the wrestling aspect and the stuff just there for a laugh aren't "real" wrestling fans like those of you who look down upon the light-hearted nonsense are. Oh and that anyone who gets enjoyment out of Cena or Batista are, as you so wonderfully put it, "mouthbreathers." Here I was, thinking that because I just sat back, respected and enjoyed what I was watching, that made me an equal fan. Or someone who breathed with their mouth shut.

I find it humorous that you feel the need to give the real names of the performers in parenthesis. Most of us here know their real names. Agreed. He is obviously teh super king smarkness!

No sympathy here, man. (If this is even true!) I probably would have done the same thing the father did! And people wonder why I get insulted by the term "smark"! So you'd threaten to beat up a guy because he cheers for the guy you don't like? That seems reasonable and mature.... Unless I was missing something in the OP post, all he did was cheer for the heels and the father took offense to that. He never told anybody that he was cheering the heels to piss anybody off. I agree with you for not getting any sympathy though, although it has nothign to do with his story, but the fact that he is/was one of the Youtube shooters.

If this is true, you were a big douche and I have absolutely no sympathy.
Though there was this one time I was at a wrestling event at the sporting arena. It was a match featuring John Cena (John Felix Anthony Cena) and Shawn Michaels (Michael Shawn Hickenbottom) and I rooted against that oafish cur, Cena! The fans did not approve of my heinous actions, and one even challenged me to fisticuffs! It was absolutely ludicrous!
We duked using Marquess of Queensberry rules and I stood the victor! I lost a good monocle that day, however. And my top hat was sullied! Sullied, I say!

Sounds to me that the father was the a-hole here. Why would he tell this guy to be quiet when he's cheering for Punk and Richards (Faces)? Then for the man to jump the barracade and attack you for cheering for Mark Henry and Finlay? That guy has some serious mental problem.
I haven't been to a live event in a long time. Only time I might've been in live danger was when Brian Pillman came out and screamed at all of us at ringside "Smurf You, I'll smurfin kill all of you". I was clapping for the guy so was like WTF. He was like 2 feet away from me and I seriously thought he might attack. Dude certainly lived his gimmick.

Have we determined if this is real or not? No? Okay, well anyway...
I've never felt threatened by anyone. Closest I ever came to that was sporting a "BATISTA WISHES HE WAS THE ULTRA MAN" poster at a local indy show, and some fan threatened to tear it up. I ended up just sitting with some other fans, all Batista fans ironically, who thought the poster was hilarious and offered to stick up for me.

I had a 6 or 7 year old kick ask me if I wanted a piece of him for cheering a heel at a local indy show. I thought it was hilarious.

Pro wrestling is one of the few entertainment mediums that can bring all classes (from affulent to poor), all walks of life and all sorts of people of varying intelligence together into one vast arena. While the thought of fans getting along like "one big, happy family" is a pleasant thought to entertain, there's always one bad apple (or black sheep) in the bunch that looks to disrupt the good vibrations and create a hostile environment. This thread shall serve as an outlet for every smark who ever felt threatened at a pro wrestling event. Share your tales of dispair, your close calls and the nightmares you've been unable to shake. I'll go first... Last fall I attended the Smackdown/ECW taping in Minneapolis, shortly after CM Punk (Phil Brooks) had won the ECW Championship. Being fairly critical of the mainstream American wrestling product at the time, a family friend had fallen ill and offered his second deck seat to me, which I begrudgingly accepted. As I settled into my seat near the top of the Target Center, I happened to notice a father and his pre-teen age son sitting a few rows in front of me stare me and my ROH t-shirt down. Not paying any mind to them, I sat through what seemed like the longest 45 minutes of my life until the ECW Main event. When Punk and Stevie Richards (Michael Manna) came out, I stood and marked out...hard. The aforementioned father (rocking a faded Stone Cold University t-shirt) and son (sporting a mall-variety Batista t-shirt) combo, glanced back at me and told me to quiet down. Somebody obviously wasn't familiar with the greatness that was CM Punk - ROH Edition. I soon started smarking off to no one in particular (I was alone), calling Phil and Michael's opponents by their former gimmicks (Kevin Thorne was Mordecai and I kept shouting towards Elijah Burke that he should've taken that spot with the Spirit Squad). Being within earshot of me, it was quite apparent dad and his son had no idea what I was talking about. When the ECW taping had concluded (complete with a Phil and Michael tag team victory), I contemplated leaving before Smackdown would start. But knowing my mom had dinner plans with my stepdad until 8 PM that night, I decided I'd gut the taping out, but not without having a little bit of fun at the expense of my new friends. Or so I thought. Still smarking, I decided to go into anti-mark mode and cheer for all the heels. This did not sit well with the father and son, who were behind every face that stepped into the ring that night, regardless of who they were. Tensions first begin to rise when I mark out for Mark Henry, who at the time was in a program with The Undertaker (Mark Calloway). I got a few choice words from dad, as sonny boy began throwing trash upwards towards me (and others). I opted to ignore them and continued to be a smark. Things start getting out of hand during the Dave Finlay and Kane (Glen Jacobs) Irish Street Fight, as I vehemently marked for Fit, angering the father to the point of climbing over empty seats to get in my face and to tell me to "quit acting like a jackass". I'm understandably a little startled at this point, but I think to myself, "Would Kobashi let himself be bullied like this?" Of course not. The turning point in my evening came during the main event, which featured The Great Khali (Dalip Singh) and Dave Bautista (shudder). I began marking out so incredibly hard when Khali locked Batista in the Cranium Crush when I noticed the dad making a beeline back up over the seats. And boy was he furious. I hurriedly grabbed my coat and started rushing towards the aisle and down the stairs. He grabbed me by the arm and tried pulling me back towards him. People in the crowd began to notice what was going on and called for security. As soon as Atlas Security began making their way up the stairs, the man let go of me and I continued to rush towards the exit. I was so scared. There was no telling what that mark dad and his mark son would've done to me. It's been my lone brush with danger thus far in my life and I've vowed to never attend another WWE event again (as I mentioned in one of my YouTube shoot videos before YouTube banned my account). Feel free to tell your story now. if this is real your sig tells something about you
