WWE RAW Tour in Abu Dhabi




The WWE stands for World Wresting Entertainment for all those who are not fans of wrestling by the way. It is the first time ever that WWE visited the United Arab Emirates. They have 3 day match events that was held at the Zayed Sports Tennis Complex in Abu Dhabi that started 7pm. Tickets were ranged from 300, 600, 1,000, and 1,200 AED. Wrestling is not new to the country, since the TNA (Total Non-stop Action) Wrestling visited 2 years ago. Among the many viewers of this are kids. I meant kids aged 12 years old below. Why kids are watching this? What is in wrestling than watching "Sesame Street" or "Barney"? These are just some of the questions that I thought of while watching one of the events. When the announcer shouted that there is a free autographed by John Cena, one of the famous wrestler and a celebrity, all kids started to run like hell rushing outside just to have the signed merchandise.

Actually, this is my first time to watch a live match of wrestling. One of the reason why I tried to see this live is to tell you what is the difference between watching it live and seeing it on screen. Well, watching live performances is of course fun and enjoying, but still depends on where you are seating (for some events like this). Maybe if you are going to the concerts of Adele, it is fine taking far seats just to hear her voice. If you would go the DJ concerts, maybe anywhere will do just to see some cute and sexy girls and boys dancing. Anyway, seeing this live is awesome and amazing just to see these wrestlers performing their not-so scripted stunts. Anyway, I was seating at the middle part after the ringside area. My seat is not better as the one at the ringside of course, but still it is fine. I can still see them because most of them are big and muscular. Another thing is I have my camcorder, camera, and my "phablet" (phone and tablet) just to capture all these matches. The first match was the Battle Royal or simply a royal rumble style, then came after the Tag Team, and came the single matches and the finale was the table match. Sounds familiar? If not, the royal rumble is a match played by many wrestlers and only one will survive inside the ring, tag team is a 2-man team up, and table match is single match that in order to win is to slam his opponent on the table that was done by John Cena and Kane. Some of the well-known wrestlers who participated were Mason Ryan, Dolph Ziggler, David Otunga, The Miz, Santino Marella, Alex Riley, Epico, Chris Jericho, and Kofi to name a few.
