I live 20 minutes from the Barclays and contemplated going to Raw, glad I didn't by the sound of how some people were acting, just horrible. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

That's shameful, asshole fans are the worst. Its amazing that it hurts them so much that someone can dare support Roman Reigns, talented wrestler and respected locker-room leader.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH! Going to live events is an expensive hobby. Between Raw, Mania, and the Hall of Fame back in April I spent probably about $450 on tickets, and then there was merch, the hotel (which ran me around $160 thanks to getting a good deal), the rental car (which was about $500), food while down there and at the events, and other things along that line I ended up sinking a serious chunk of change into things myself and that was with not particularly good seats. 3 grand is all four shows, 2 meet and greets, and merch for 4 people. The Raw tickets alone cost about 600 because we were ringsid these weekends are expensive. |

Boo who you hate, Cheer who you like Do not criticize someone for who they like or who they hate Gus Richlen: Ruffian is a huge Reigns fan, Im not gonna call him names or verbally chew him out over it. Just state my own thoughts even if we don't agree. Taking it to that obscene of a degree should make you reconsider your whole stance on wrestling, because you've gone too far. |

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH! Right. How *DARE* someone spend their hard earned money on something they really enjoy! Know why mainstream doesn't respect wrestling fans? Because wrestling fans don't respect wrestling fans This all day. Also really sorry about what happened to the op! That level of disrespect is terrible. |

The beach balls are whatever but I didn't pay something like 500 bucks for these tickets to get harassed for who's shirt I choose to wear and who I choose to cheer for. That's absolutely crossing a line. And it's not just Brooklyn because it's happened at the Sprint Center back home too. My husband was like just stop wearing your Roman gear to wrestling. I don't know anymore some people take hating Roman way to seriously. That's not right. He/she had no right to do that! |

I got called a racial slur for wearing a Roman shirt and screaming for him. I also watched a grown ass man curse at a child for the same thing. Despicable |

I went alone, could very easily see the price skyrocketing all the more having three other people along. |

I'm not gonna be nice like other people, who derided your statement. But you straight up look like an asshole and you should apologize for the level of disrespect you're showing her. ESPECIALLY with what she and her family went through. This board mostly everyone respect each other's opinions. And while this might be your opinion, it was the wrong time to say it. |

That is terrible that it happened. I don't know if I would blame WWE entirely for the issue. It is more of an Event Staff issue. The person should have been kicked out the first time they did something. Does the venue have an anonymous number you can text for unruly fans? A few places I have been to do and it has worked wonders. Either way, you should not have to deal with jerks like that person.

Scumbags. Absolute scumbags.
Wrestling fans are killing wrestling. Its no wonder new fans don't stick around or want to attend live shows.
Oh yeah I'll just spend my hard earned money to enjoy something in person only for some douchebags in Bullet Club shirts to tell me I'm not the right kind of fan. f*** off.
Sorry. Stuff like this gets under my skin.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH! This woman has the right to spend as much on WWE as she damn well likes without being laughed at for doing so. Exactly. One day I would love to travel to the States and attend Wrestlemania plus Access. That's something that would cost a lot of money and if somebody laughs at it, they can go f*** themselves, because I'm enjoying my hobbies. |

I honestly usually expect things like this to happen, but living in KC and going to the sprint center I always see people at wrestling events who I expect that crap from. Luckily with my girlfriends new job they have a suite at the arena so the last Raw I got to sit in a suite and really didn't have to deal with any dumbasses, it was awesome.
It sucks people are like that, but there isn't much you can do about it.

I am all for harmless insulting and joking around with another fan. But using racial slurs and cursing at a child is absolutely crossing the line. I can say I am not a fan of Roman's booking or his character, however, people like what they like and if a kid was attempting to cheer louder than me because I am booing Roman or Cena then good for him. Not going to curse at the child because he is cheering for a wrestler I am not a fan of.
People definitely take it too far at times.

It also depends where you are, like for example in Brooklyn being a Reigns fan gets you that reaction..being in KC if you cheer for heels people look at you like you're beating their child, I've experienced this, so it does swing both ways.

I'm laughing right now cause I live in freaking KC and you are dead on about the Sprint Center. |

Yeah, that Brooklyn crowd is quite vile at times, same goes for Toronto.
Sorry you had to go through that.
I was brave to mark for Jinder despite being in a section of pro-Shinsuke fans. It may be that I don't give a damn most of the time.
It shouldn't sour your experience if you love WWE. Some people are just jerks. Best thing to do is let security know because they have a zero tolerance policy for harassment in many arenas.
