I noticed at the FRW show in July, MAV appeared to put all the Hammerites with reserved seating in the same area.

i pretty much know and/or talk to the people on here who go to ROH since thats mostly all i go to these days. know several people from ACW and the older companies or atleast have a guess as to who they are. if you arent a douche ill probably be civil but i have enough friends where i am not gonna pretend to be buddies with you at a show if you act like a turd

I've never had any interaction with forum members at shows as I've only recently learned of the burning hammer. However, My friend's brother is working the AWE Show this weekend in Woburn. He conned me into buying a ticket so i'm going. If anyone is interested in meeting up at the show, I'm going to be there anyways. Let me know.

I also have not met any forum members except for a few kids at the chaotic wrestling shows who's introduced me to TBH. I'm in for the AWE Show.

That's because it's easier to keep track of you that way. It's kind of like house arrest without the electronic monitoring device.

Good thinking MAV. I need to get my fat ass to an FRW show sometime.

How do you guys meet? Should I just show up to a show with a shirt that says "the_truth" on it? Then some guy comes up and introduces himself as enforcer? I think it'd be great to meat some you you guys! (and gals).

A) Name tags (I would pay money to see a "Hello...I'm Hatorade" sticker; I would pay not to see a "Hello...I'm Volture" one though).

B) You could wear your T-shirt that I'm sure you bought in support of this wonderful website (Admin please credit paypal account to compensate me for the plug).

C) On certain shows, you can look for the telltale signs of chocolate chip cookie crumbs or a maelstrom of flying notebooks and chairs.

As a side note...nice of you to come out of the bisexual closet. It's a positive move in society when one can come out and admit they want to "meat" other men and ladies on the board.

Or should I assume we have a syntax discrepancy of some sort?

JD came up to me when i was standing in line and introduced himself...then when we went in somehow we figured out who we each were.

It did make for a fun evening.

There are several people who I recognize at CT wrestling shows. Then after joining the hammer and lurking for a while, I realized who was who over time. I never bothered talking to anyone though at these shows for some reason.

Hey cheap shot. No I don't go to as many shows anymore but I am usually easy to find cause I usually have my table. I've met Ghost, Kaz, Holly and a few others before the hammer and others like Rachel after the hammer and I never have an issue with anyone infact some of the people on here have hung out with me not at shows. Heck one person on here was on my summer bowling team this year. As far as how to meet someone goes some of us post are upcoming shows on our sigs so if you want to meet send a pm or something to that person and wa la the magic of the internet. There's some on here I prob met and never knew it was them cause I always meet a lot of people at shows

No, you're easy to find because you look like a sped and you stick out like a sore thumb.

I don't know if any of you recognize me or anything, but I figure I'll describe myself in case any of you do. I am that guy who is front row at all the CT NEW shows. I always wear an ECW hat that Kurt Adonis always knocks off my head at every show. I also sit front row at all the CT ROH shows.

Hey! I know you!
I've been to shows with and greatly enjoyed the company of Ballard, Holly, Ghost and Rachel, among others. I'm sure I've been to few with a couple of the guys here as well.

I think you'd like the brownies I just made for co-workers tonight. Toffee brownies. Hope they're good - not on my diet so I couldn't try.
