"wrestlemania 4000?" or "am i really the assh*le

Posted almost 5 years ago
i was just reading the comments on joxley's post about getting glasses and LyricalRevolution mentioned almost losing a pair of glasses when people started playing the game known as "run forward and smash everyone in front of you game". i had my own experience with that game just the other night. it was a monday and i had just gotten off of work. i went to the local bar to see if i could still catch oakland california's noise punk heroes, XBXRX. well, just my luck, i have only missed the first band. i had been waiting 5 years to see XBXRX because somehow i missed them the last time they played tennessee (which may or may not have had something to do with the fact that may or may not have lived in the cleveland ohio area at the time). anyway, after waiting through two other noise bands (which i refuse to comment about here) XBXRX finally takes the stage. these guys explode with pure energy and since there is no real stage at this bar we were at the same level as the band and i was right up front dodging the swinging guitar that was right in my face. all of a sudden i get shoved really hard. i turn around and there are three people wrestling on the floor.i go back to paying attention to the band. out of nowhere i get slammed into again, i look back and wrestlemania has continued. i proceed to try to keep an eye on the band while making sure i dont get dragged into what was by that point a four or five person wrestling match. they knocked over a table, the PA and countless peoples beers. finally i was sick of it so i turned around calmly and faced them. i waited till they rolled around towards me, and i dropped all of my weight onto one of the wrestlers using my knee as the delivering agent. i then proceeded to reach down bounce the guys head off the ground (i did it lightly) and then when he tried to grab me and pull me in i kind of kicked him in the neck, but i swear it wasnt really that hard. after the show i got a lot of dirty looks after the show but my question here is:am i really the asshole in this situation?the guys in the band were really cool even though the guy i dropped the knee on was the guy they were staying with that night.maybe i am the asshole. but really if i am already atempting to enjoy a band without getting hit in the face by the guitar, i dont want to have to worry about what is going on behind me. if i have waited 5 years to see that band i want to see the band.

  1. 1234chainsaw says Sounds like one of those things where you had to be there to make the judgment. (Although, to be anal, saying "the asshole" seems to imply that either you or the wrestlers were assholes, but not both.) I did want to say that in all of its off-kilter glory this was an extremely amusing post. Henry delivers!

  2. Shud33 says HELL NO you are not an asshole. I would have done the same thing. My only question is...Why did you do these things lightly and not hard? :) Good Times!

  4. Anna says What's the point in having a wrestle fight if everyone is not allowed to participate? There is no fun in that. So, no, you were not the asshole. In that particular case. mwuahahha (please don't kick me, I keed 'cause I wuve)

  5. etcvisitor says yes it might have been a multiple asshole situation and i can see the argument for that. i would like to point out that even if i am one of many assholes in this situation i was atleast provoked and given some form of reason (valid or not) to be an asshole. by lightly i mean i wasnt attempting to permenantly mame. i knew i bought that mask when i went to tijajana for a reason. in all honesty i could have participated and so could everyone, but seriously, i had been waiting five years to see that band and i wasnt about to miss it by wrestling. hell i even turned down an invitation to play wiffle ball that night just to see the band.
