Attended a DOUBLE WCW Thunder taping in college. I defy ANYONE to be able to sit through that. Well at least we know the bookers beat the traffic that night.

Once, but I was there for work, it was probably four hours into the show, and while it wasn't that good, I had other plans for that night.

I HAVE walked out right after the main event match ends, so i dont see many post-match shenanigans.

If not for the the post-show dark matches they do with the more fan-friendly stuff, I could easily see myself leaving a WWE show before its over. Instead I stick around just to see what they won't show on TV.

I left a show early, but it was by mutual agreement with my wife. I only spent $10 on the wrestling show to begin with for 2 tickets, then the wife and I went to see Mean Girls. (We agreed on that for "Date Night".) It was a show where Bobby Heenan made a personal appearance and that was the only reason I went anyway. (Yes, I missed out on two future WWE superstars: CM Punk & Matt Sydal.) Was it this show? www.smartmarkvideo.com/IWA-Mid-South-DVD-Meeting-of-the-Minds-May-8-2004-Highland-IN

I always leave during the dark matches to beat traffic because
1. I've seen everybody live before 2. Title matches always end in a DQ if there is a heel champion. 3. They are usually short and pointless just to fill in local advertising commitments.

I walked out when Cena's match started....does that count?
Seriously, I did walk out of many house shows when Cena wrestled. It was just too boring.
The only time I didn't walk out early was a few years back when half the roster got suspended for wellness violations. The card that was advertised made up most of the guys that was wellnessed lol. It was so funny, they had guys work multiple matches just fill the card. Shelton (who I came to see) wrestled twice. Good times.

I use to go to GCW shows in Phenix City, AL a lot. But sometimes the card was just terrible. One time I stayed just for a Sonny Siaki vs. Johnny Swinger match, then left right after it when the show still have like three matches left.

I went to an indy show once and the promotion was using some TNA wrestlers. The main event was supposed to be their champion against AJ Styles...but Styles had just injured his ankle. Everyone was trying to figure out who the replacement would be. Since we were in Minnesota, we thought maybe X-Pac. When the DX music went off we figured we were right. Out walks Kip James...so we walked out too. Indy shows can use WWE music? I don't care how bad the card is, I payed money for it and I'm getting my money's worth. I know that's right!

btw, aren't dark matches BEFORE the televised shows, not after??? WWE always does that 5 minute untelevised match after a TV Taping. When ROH did PPV tapings, they'd have their dark matches after the PPV so that their crowd was hot on PPV.

My older sister made me leave an ECW TV Taping (from before ECW was on TNN), just after the main eventers made it to the ring, but before the match actually started (RVD/Sabu vs. Shane Douglas/Bam Bam Bigelow).
Had to leave CHIKARA's Tag World Gran Prix 2005 Night 3 during the main event because it was a 4-hour drive to get back home, and the roads were getting terrible from snow (we did wind up in a minor accident, but nobody got hurt). Anyway, on the way out, I picked up a Chris Hero t-shirt then got home and found out the next day that Hero turned heel after I left!
Walked out on the very last match of a CZW show so I could get to an ROH show in another part of town (the CZW show was "An Afternoon of Main Events" the ROH show was "Hell Freezes Over").
One time in college, we had a local indy fed bring their show to us during a day full of events. Admission was free. I helped set up bleachers and chairs and met my favorite wrestler from the fed (showed him my sign, and he shook my hand). I watched the opening battle royal, left to go see a Head Automatica performance, then got back to see the main event. I heard the rest of the show was awful, by the way.

Nope. There was one really awful indy show that I wanted to leave, but I was a ringside photographer and the other two guys left half-way through the show. I had to finish the whole thing, and there ended up being like 14 f***ing matches...

Indy shows can use WWE music? Probably not. But I wasn't going to call Jerry McDevitt to harass these poor nobodies.

Yes. I walked out of WWF Unforgiven in 1999. I won free tickets to the PPV from a local radio station. Since I gave one of the tickets to a friend, he agreed to drive to the event. The "Kennel From Hell" debacle with Al Snow and Bossman is what really curbed our enthusiasm for the show. Even casual fans seated nearby booed it. My friend wanted to leave immediately afterwards, but I talked him into staying for the Jericho/X-pac match. We left during the entrances for the 6-pack Challenge main event. That's the only time I've walked out though. And this is coming from a guy who has sat through several NWA indy shows.
