I am absolutely on this same line of thinking.

Of all the varied experiences I had with my soon-to-be 19 y/o, it's the pics from a TNA house show that are STILL on his dresser.

Not Disney pics, not concert pics, not PBR World Finals pics, not Monster Jam pics. It's him & AJ, him & Joe, him & EY, not all that far from that age.

And the reason that The New Day having success means more to him than just the characters is being the little guy standing along the security rail talking to (a then-younger & relatively unknown) Austin Creed during a cage malfunction at an NWA-Anarchy show before Creed helped bring down the house in what is still the best cage match I've ever seen in person.

In all his years, I've never once -- not a single time -- regretted taking him to anything. And we've both got a helluva lot of memories to show for the gambles I took.
