First WWE Live Event!

Dear Benjamin,

Yesterday you went with Daddy, Uncle Steve, and Grandpa Kevin to your first WWE Live Event! You've been getting into wrestling alot more lately and up until yesterday Daddy would assume you liked it so much because Daddy likes it so much, but last night you went crazy for it. Cheering, throwing your arm towards the ring and screaming at the top of your lungs. It was awesome!


It was awesome to see you get so into it, and when the show first started and you were sitting in your seat watching the action in the ring Daddy felt himself tear up just because of how happy he was. Daddy has liked wrestling since he was very young and now this is an experience he gets to share with you, and someday soon with your brother. Jonathan couldn't join us this time because he's still a little young, but he had a great night with Mommy and Auntie Sara. He'll be ready to go soon though!

On the way to the show we stopped at McDonalds to get something to eat. When you saw where we were you asked where Sheamus was. This would be the first time of many that you would ask where Sheamus was. Daddy asked you if you wanted nuggets or a cheeseburger and you picked a cheeseburger. However! When Daddy gave you the cheeseburger to eat you said you only wanted to take one bite of it. Just one bite! After we finished we headed straight to the show!

Once we got inside the building Grandpa walked with you to our section, but you were so excited that he had to stop and take you inside one of the rows to show you the ring. We then made our way over to our seats and once we were there you asked again where Sheamus was. Sheamus and John Cena. As luck would have it that night the villians The Shield would take on both Sheamus and John Cena with their partner Ryback. So, you only had to wait until the main event to see your two favorite superstars!

You were a very good boy during the show. You watched with wide eyes and kept turning back to Daddy to smile. You clapped your hands when people clapped their hands, and then when Daddy was chanting "Y2J! Y2J! Y2J" you started chanting for "Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!". The moment couldn't have been any better! Mommy's favorite Vickie Guerrero came out and yelled "Excuse Me!" with that voice that goes right through your head, and you yelled back "Excuse me!" It was great to see you get so into it!

When it was time for the Divas to wrestle Daddy decided to take you over to the merchandise stand. Once we got there you had a field day with the items you wanted. "Daddy I want the John Cena hand. Daddy I want the John Cena light stick! Daddy I want the John Cena head band! Daddy I want the Sheamus necklace!" Good thing Daddy brought money... due to Daddy's feelings for the night getting the best of him you walked away with all the things you wanted. We even got Jonathan a Zack Ryder headband because that's one of his favorite guys. Woo woo woo. You know it!

The Sheamus necklace is much too big for you to wear around your neck, but you insisted on doing it. You wore the John Cena foam hand, and waved around the John Cena light baton that on it's highest setting could probably cause someone to have a seizure. Daddy is going to put the foam hand away for when you're bigger. Something to remember your first WWE show by!

You took turns sitting between Daddy and Grandpa, and then you said you wanted to sit near Uncle Steve so you switched seats with Daddy. It was Uncle Steve's idea to bring you to the show and it's probably the best idea he's ever had!

Finally the moment had arrived. Sheamus would be making his way to the ring! As soon as his music hit the speakers you started going crazy and screaming his name. Uncle Steve says when you yelled you actually got some spit in his face. Better him than a stranger! Once Sheamus was in the ring there was a moment of silence. Then... John Cena's music hit! You were already going crazy for Sheamus so when John Cena's music went off it sent you right over the edge. You were throwing your Cena foam hand high into the air and screaming "JOHN CENAAAAAA!" it was hilarious and Daddy wishes he recorded it. There's always next time! When we were walking out of the arena you looked at Daddy and said "Daddy, can you believe what we just saw?"

The only downfall of the night was when we were leaving the parking garage. We were stuck on the highest level for about a half an hour without any movement. You kept saying "Daddy go! Daddy go!" because "I want to go home and see my Mommy now." We finally made it out and you fell asleep on the way home. When we got there Jonathan and Mommy were wide awake and Jonathan was running around playing with his new toys that Auntie Sara got for him. She got you some too!

Daddy is very proud of how good you were. It shows that you weren't too young to be there and that you loved every second of it, but there's no way you loved it more than Daddy. Daddy has loved wrestling for as long as he can remember, but last night wasn't about Daddy loving wrestling. It was about Daddy loving you and the special bond that we share with each other. I love you so very much... even if you like John Cena. Daddy can't wait until we go again, and we can bring Jonathan with us. My future tag team champions!

Seriously though... John Cena?
Ah well.... love always,  
Dad
