What could possibly be better than seeing a load of grown men in tights slam each other down in a wrestling ring? Well, a lot of things. For those who actually want to watch a cross between ballet and a hustle in the yard, WWE Smackdown Live! (filled with real violence, real tight pants, and real … bad acting) will be in Charlotte the day after Christmas to your satisfaction. The popular men in tights (and fights) include Jeff Hardy taking on Edge for the WWE Championship, Triple H battling against Vladimir Kozlov in an “Anything Goes Street Fight,” and the Undertaker fighting Big Snow in “A Brutal Steel Cage Match.” $15-$50. 7:30 p.m. Time Warner Cable Arena, 333 E. Trade St. 704-688-9000. www.timewarnercablearena.com.
