SummerSlam

Oh wow.

Our first PPV event ever, and we were on row two behind Michael Cole and Tazz. There are reports about the event all over the net, and it will be on DVD in couple of months time so I won't waste you time telling you about the matches. I say this much though: it was a huge experience, and the crowd in Toronto is unlike anywhere else in the world. Pro wrestling is a battle between good and evil, and all wrestlers potray either a good guy (called babyface or just a face) or a bad guy (called heel), and you're supposed to cheer for the good guy and boo for the bad guy. Not in Toronto. Torontonians cheer for the guys they like, even if they are heels, and boo for the guys they don't like, even if they are faces - in any audience there are always people who do that anyway, but nowhere else does the whole crowd have such different opinions.

But also, being there such close to the action and seeing everything happening right in front of you - it was something else. The whole event took over three hours but it just seemed like couple of blinks and it was over. As we had ringside seats we got to take our souvenier chairs with us - sturdy nice folding chairs with the SummerSlam poster on them. I'm stubborn - I paid for my ticket and for my chair so I wanted to bring it with me home, even though I knew it might be logistically difficult - but Chu though it too much work and gave her chair to a girl she had met on the previous day and who'd had a really lousy evening (she'd hurt her foot and couldn't stand up or walk properly and some idiot kicked her by accident).
