People always wonder what I could like about this "sport" (or should I say, sports entertainment). I think it is the same reason that I love reality television. There is over-the-top drama, twists and turns, and characters to love (or love to hate). While my parents never had a problem with me watching wrestling, they definitely never would take me to a match. I stopped watching wrestling regularly towards the end of high school and now I only occasionally watch it whenever
Still, my childhood love of wrestling is what encourage me to put attending a live WWE event on my 30 by 30 list. And I was beyond excited to cross this one off the list on Monday at Monday Night Raw Supershow. This was actually aired live on Monday night with a return visit from the Rock, who hasn't wrestled in quite some time!
Bret was slightly embarrassed to go with me....but I think he had fun in the end! Here are some more photos from Monday night:

This was definitely a fun item to complete on my 30 by 30 list. I now have finished one-third of my 30 by 30 list. I can't wait to knock a few other items off my list in the next two months before this turns into a 30 while 30 list!

I never would've guessed you were a wrestling fan! I love how excited you are about it in the post. It looks like a lot of fun to see in person. Glad you had such a great time!
I don't even know you anymore! Wrestling?! Michelle, you're always full of surprises. That's why I love you. Xoxo
I was there too!! I was a also a huge wrestling fan growing up and had a blast at Monday Night Raw. I wore a The Miz shirt and was on TV hahaha. The Rock is hot!
Yup, definitely a little surprised ;) I do like the Rock though, but only from his movies.
So awesome! I cannot believe the Rock came back - good for him. I used to totally watch the Royal Rumbles with my brother - I get your love of it!
its great to read about something you are so passionate about! looks like a fun night, you are crankin through that list!
My cousin and I use to paint our faces like the Ultimate Warrior when we would see wrestling up in Glens Falls, NY(also home of Hacksaw Jim Dugan). Good, good times.
That certainly is somethiing I never would have guessed about you! My boyfriend in high school was a huge wrestling fan so I would watch matches with him too. That's when I fell in love with the Rock. :-P
I also love reality television! Real Housewives is my secret guilty pleasure...(all series).
ha, never would've guessed ;) glad you added it to your list though!!
This was definitely surprising! It's fun to have little quirky interests though =)
I used to watch wrestling now and then... haven't in a long time though. I remember thinking Matt Hardy was cute so I considered him my favorite... I don't think I was ever as big a fan as you are though!
I love that you own it! Sounds like fun.
yep I too never would have guessed! One of my best friends growing up was OBSESSED with wrestling and I was supposed to go with her once but never did...I did however go with her to a Monster Truck rally... ;) Yay for crossing another one off the list!
