So I'm making the trip to Buffalo from Rochester this Sunday for Battleground, and I'm bringing my girlfriend with me. This is her first WWE event ever (I got her to start watching it about 5-6 months ago, so she is familiar with the major guys like Bryan, Orton, Punk, etc.) and my first in probably 15 or so years (stopped following the product as intently post-Attitude era, but still kept up via internet and started watching again within the last couple years). Any tips/advice for making the experience extra awesome for both of us? I'm super stoked to finally go to a live event after all the memories from going with my dad and brother in Detroit as a kid, and she is surprisingly excited for it too. Bonus if you have any suggestions for things to do in Buffalo before the show e.g. places to eat/drink (we're both 21+).

Don't be afraid to cheer for who you want. You paid for your ticket and have the right to make your voice heard. To me, that's always the funnest part about live shows. Just...do me a solid and don't engage in the "WHAT?!" chant, ok?  |

Chippewa Street is a quick walk from the arena. There are several cool bars/restaurants in the vicinity.

If any match is boring at all, even for a split second, start screaming RAN-DY SA-VAGE!!!!! as loud as you possibly can.

^Alternatively, you could try chanting A-LEX RI-LEY!!!!!, and see if it catches on.

there will be drunks, as well as families, so expect to see/ignore all types of behaviors

Be vocal; get involved with chants and boo and cheer. Don't spend all your time trying to take pictures with your phone or camera.
That's the most fun thing about live shows in my experience. So many fans around you will want to join in as well, it can be a little embarrassing at first for people but once someone breaks the ice everyone has a great time.

Make sure everyone around you knows that you know the wrestlers previous gimmicks or real names. Even if you have to scream them 20 times per match, this will earn you the respect of not only the fans, but the wrestlers themselves.

I bring a megaphone to all live WWE events I attend and yell the real names of every wrestler I know throughout the show, even if they have nothing to do with what's going on at the moment. It helps to educate the rest of the fans. |

Make a sign that says "which job will get its son back?" and hold it up during the Roades/Shield match.

Let us know how big Lilian's pop is and make sure you tell us afterwards about your friend flipping Justin Gabriel off whilst you were jawjacking with Randy Orton... wait this isn't the SmackDown spoilers thread... damnit! Okay, I know what thread I'm in now. My advice: Make sure you chant for a guillotine leg drop. It's like the coolest move ever so yell for it during every match and, if you get it, roar like you've just won the World Cup. Make sure to chant thank you to whichever wrestler did it just after too. You're welcome  . |

If you have a Chris Benoit shirt, wear it. I promise that you'll be the coolest guy in the building.

Just went to Buffalo recently. Very sorry I didn't schedule my vacation better to be there during the PPV.
For food I recommend checking out Charlie the Butchers for a Beef on Weck, and either the Anchor Bar or Duff's Famous Wings for Buffalo Wings (Anchor Bars wings are slightly better, but they're kinda stingy with the wing sauce so I prefer Duff's). Oh, and some Ice Cream from the nearest Anderson's is a must.
Otherwise just sit back and enjoy the show and don't randomly scream stupid stuff to show how "smart" you are.

I haven't been to an E show in a long time, BUT from my recent foray into dirt cheap indy feds id suggest shouting "HIPTOSS BABY!" at every brief moment of silence during a match. My research and experience suggests that every wrestler and nearby fan will be confused yet somewhat entertained by this.
If sitting behind an overly friendly mark who wants to make friends at every opportunity just make a shocked face and point to the ring.
