When i hear that it's someone's first time attending a show; I'm all. "Let me tell you something, bud..." i get just as excited talking to them about it as well.
Literally every show I’m on somebody will swing by merch and be like “wow this is so fun, this is my first show, I had no idea this was happening down the road.”
I know too many people who will only attend WWE/AEW events but when they finally come to an indie, it exceeds expectation.
There’s so much going on worldwide at an independent level, give it a chance.
