WWE Raw at the O2 Arena
…was pretty good
Yesterday marked the 10th time I’ve seen WWE wrestling live. Pro wrestling is my guilty pleasure, though at least I’m not convinced it’s real unlike the moron sat behind me last night. Also, I noted a surprising amount of suited-and-booted Wharfers enjoying the show sans children.
In case you’re wondering, which you probably aren’t, these are the shows I’ve seen. Note that there is no Wrestlemania on this list. One day…

What is it about WWE that is so cool. I remember when i was a teenager all the boys that i liked, used to watch it, so i would endure the pain of it , well because that is what you do to get a boy’s attention. But my now husband who is 33 also loves it, he thinks it is some kind of ART. I think it is insane and not to mention dangerous. Hang on a minute, i forgot, it is all fake and pretend. You Guys might as well watch Bob The Builder, at least he is a bit more exciting and he can even make things. LOL
