Me and my husband are both military and he is deployed so for Christmas decided surprise my son, whom loves wrestling but has never attended alive event, with tickets for me, him and my husband's son to go to first live event. Thought it would be something exciting being we had spend all the holidays without my husband, thanksgiving and Christmas along with birthdays, and I being military stay busy and rarely get to take them places. Was I so wrong... I just attended tonight in Waco, TX and experience wasn't great. So the staff there was so rude you couldn't even talk to them and attempt to be nice. They announced that you can't take video but could pictures. There were people with older phones, including my son, that takes while to zoom in to get a good pic, they were being harassed and accused of taking videos because held their phone up longer than just quick snap. My son even got threatened in front of me by one of the staff members. Guess because he looks older and me young they thought we all were teens not realizing I was his mother. Instead of looking to verify it wasn't a video just him and others phones took longer to take pics cause of being older phones they just quickly jumped on them. There is nicer ways of handling it besides threatening. Me being military don't threaten enemies in other countries we handle things in calm manner. Most have some kind of appreciation at shows for military, not this one even alot of military and family traveled over hour from different bases to come watch. The seats on the floor around ring looked like the small hard plastic seats I set in when attending grade school and were horrible, if you were over weight you barely could fit on them. The wrestlers didn't care about fans at all. During show only just to put on a fake show for camera. After their match they were quick to just up and leave the arena. After last match with Seth Rollins and Roman Raines and other wrestlers, lots of fans stood in cold around back just to meet and say hey and take pics. They came out hid vehicles behind a big truck and heard fans chanting their names but ignored them and was quickly trying load bags and get in SUV to get out of there. Usually at events most care about fans and come to meet them. You have little kids that look up to you as idols and role models and parents spend lots of money to buy tickets and travel and on merchandise, least you could do is try to be nice and social and a simple hello or picture. I was totally disappointed and if it wasn't my kids Christmas present and exciting thing to do to try make teens happy with father being deployed I probably wouldn't have stayed whole show. I will NEVER support WWE again nor attempt to go to another event. I don't care if I'm setting in Afghanistan getting shot at and they make their appearance to visit us troops. The NFL players and NBA players would be much more exciting to see because they actually do show they care about soldiers and fans.
