Dec. 30
If your New Year's celebrations are anything like mine, they usually involve watching sweaty, half-naked beefcakes violently tumbling around until one or both of them pass out. So why not spend New Year's Eve Eve watching the same thing at the professional level? Nothing says holiday spirit quite like staged gore, spandex, and masculinity gone wild x100. Tonight's bill (subject to change, because, you know, the injuries are sometimes for real) includes WWE star Roman Reigns, a member of the Anoa'i wrestling family that includes Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Reigns also looks kind of like Khal Drogo from "Game of Thrones"—a big plus, in my opinion. 7:30 p.m., Royal Farms Arena, 201 W. Baltimore St., (410) 347-2020, royalfarmsarena.com, $20-$105.
