ROH, Dragon Gate and NOAH live have been unbelievable experiences. TNA was a bit meh live, while WWE pretty boring.

Live wrestling done properly beats watching on TV any day of the week

Agrees i go to all the ROH/TNA/WWE/DRAGON GATE SHOWS here in nyc

out of all roh dragon gate holds the top spot.

tho tna has some great house shows i do admit so i can put them in that spot as well.

the last time wwe has put on a good show here in nyc was one night stand 1 and 2 which i both attended.

Wasn't RAW from MSG just the other week. It was an excellent show on television and appeared to have a great crowd, so I imagine it was even better live.

Why is it that you're incapable of posting without being completely ignorant towards those with a different opinion?

To answer the question- there's nothing like a quality show live and in person. It's just miles apart from watching on TV. But the small screen can mask a pile of weaknesses that can be really obvious and completely kill a poor live show.

I think you should go to a live show. The wrestlers dont go for a cuppa during the add breaks. They have matches before they go live and after the show.

Live is better. Even the atmosphere out in Tallaght for the iwc was great. Been and at a few wrestlemanias and it was way better than tv.

Years ago we used to have wrestling nights for the ppv's with all the crowd round for a few beers. At that point it was great on tv.

yea i went to that raw live

while it was good i do admit,it was not the best raw show i have been to

tho i wish they switched the host around from piper to venture

crowd was great

last match was good i loved it

the swagger match was good

santino was funny as always

great video package etc.

also lillian was there and sang the national anthem not sure if that was on tv.

also black eyed peas was there

ashley massaro was around some where in the crowd

one thing i do hate about live shows is sitting up front is you can always spot the wrestlers talking to each other lol

mostly at roh and dragon gate seeing as the arena is small

same with wwe but you have to have good seats and pay very good attention
