Monster Jam is as good as wrestling
by Pookie16 on 2011-02-06Rexall Place - EdmontonRating: 4 out of 5As someone older than 10, I eventually realized that the event was staged. My 6 year old companion thought it was great. Take earplugs, or perhaps those earmuff things for children since it seems foam earplugs are designed to not fall out of adult ears. There was entertainment in seeing the big trucks. The drama may have been pre-planned, but cars got smashed and expensive machines flew through the air all the same. At 1/5th the price of a hockey ticket, I thought it was good value. Truckasaurus did not come to our venue, which would have worth seeing. The quad races had fist fights and the home team winning after losing the first heat to come from behind. The away team did have to stop a few times to let them catch up and pass to assure their win and giving the fans what they paid for (a home team win). This is not the Met Opera nor the Superbowl. It is like more like cirque de soliel or professional wrestling. I am glad I went.
