Umm, I'm Andrew. I live in Southern California and I've been playing video games since I was old enough to hold a controller. I watch way too much Pro Wrestling (yeah I know it's "fake"), and I have turned Rock Band Drums into serious business.
I also have a reputation for doing stupid things on Stickam when the YAY! M&M's! room is up.

And failed...kinda.
I went to Monday Night Raw a couple weeks ago when they were at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I was bored the night before, so I made an incredibly half-assed D-Toid sign because I figured it would be the easiest thing to spot if it got on TV, and of course because I love the Toid. I did manage to get on TV, but the sign didn't come across very well, hence the "kinda fail" thing. (its my blog so I don't care if this stretches your screen) 
Yeah, turns out silver sharpie doesn't really work on TV. Here's a regular picture of the sign so you can all mock my artistic ineptitude. 
Like I said, incredibly half-assed. I didn't even have a green sign, I just used a bunch of green masking tape I had laying around. But never fear! I've got second row seats on the camera side for the next RAW show they do in So-Cal. February 18th at the Honda Center, keep an eye out for it my fellow WWE-watching D-Toiders. And I'm gonna make a better sign for it. A real green sign, red reflective tape for the eyes, tin foil for the silver parts, the whole works. So bring forth the "You fail for going to wrestling shows" comments. Because we all know you are so much better for watching your completely non-homo sports. Sports like football, with a bunch of beefed up dudes wearing spandex pants. And that whole part where one guy bends over, and another guy stands directly behind him with his hands between his legs while waiting to grab a ball. Yeah...totally hetero.

As for making that sign and showing it off, Awesome! Sure, the sign is kind of a fail, but you got the point across and next time you'll do better, wont you?
The attempt is still awesome, even if the sign is kinda fail. :)
I will do better, I stated that near the end.
And yes I know that wrestling is corny and the results are predetermined, but I still find it fun to watch. It's like an action movie, you know it's all fake but you suspend your disbelief and let it entertain you for a couple hours.
Plus over the years I've kind of gained a weird respect for wrestlers. They go out there and bust their asses year round for a fake championship and way less money than any other "Professional" athlete. Yet they never complain like all those prima donna Major League players who pitch little bitch fits in the media when a team won't give them a raise on their 10 million dollar a year salary.
When the WWE came to Brisbane the Entertainment Centre that hosted them banned signs, but I snuck in a "I can't see me" one anyway. Bunch of kill-joys.
And I'll say it again, wrestling (at it's best) is a goddamn artform similar to Kabuki and No theatre through their shared use of highly stylized characters, looks and movements. Break down your favourite wrestler and their moves into what you like about them and you will see what I mean.
Kobewan, I, Archangel, pledge to deliver unto you my finisher, a modified samoan drop to piledriver I call the "Fall from Grace", then you will understand the coolness of wrestling.
And I'll definitely be posting a blog with pictures after the event. As long as I get the sign in the arena, I guarantee it will show up on TV and be seen by about 5 million people (according to the Nielsen ratings).
Awesome, man! *Virtual High-five*

That's pretty cool, but must be dissapointing to do all that work and not get it the message out clearly.
Still, I think it's awesome. You won't see Joystiq or Kotaku signs at a wrestling show.
you sir are my hero
I'm now going to look for you in that match :D
AWESOME.
Wrestling = LAYME LAYME LAYME
Good job on the first time too.
