We went to WWE Backlash

3 May 2009 5 Comments

Here is a quick video blog of the WWE Backlash event we went to last week.

Fred has a friend that facebooked him and asked if he wanted front row WWE tickets. We were supposed to be at the venue at 6 sharp because we supposedly had great seats and were going in the back. Around 7:30 everyone had already filled the venue and we were still outside. Someone from the WWE came out and told us what the deal was.

In reality, we were “seat fillers”. We had “home base seats” (which were last row on the floor so we couldn’t see anything. Easily the worst seats in the whole place.) that we sat in until someone told us to move and we would go and fill in seats that were empty. WWE doesn’t want any empty seats shown on TV, so they have people jump around and fill seats and exchange they get in for free. When the real owners of the seats come back, you go back to your home base seats. Luckily we didn’t get called on to move around, but Fred lost some major points on this one. The only upside is we will have ammo against Fred for years to come.

    i just became a hardcore mma fan about a year ago and have been trying to catch up on the history of mma. banged out the entire season of tuf 4 this past weekend and I just wanted to say that the maturity that you displayed is well beyond your years. Your definitely one of the guys the ufc should be promoting as an example of what a mixed martial artist is. Good luck with your recovery dude. Hope to see you back in the octagon as soon as possible.
