Anyone interested in a Royal Rumble pool? Haven't thought of any details yet, but it'll be $10 per entry and that buys you a number in the men's and the women's Rumble. More to come once I gauge interest (I'm sure my brother and a few of his friends would be interested as well. [Only registered users can see links.] )

[Wildcats82]

yes.

Also RIP Mean Gene

I'm currently in queue attempting to purchase AEW "Double or Nothing" tickets, but no luck yet. It's still ongoing though, so hopefully I get lucky.

Nice, any luck?

I just bought SmackDown tickets for 3/5 when they're here, got two seats on the aisle right next to the entrance ramp toward the stage. Looking forward to that.

I was luckily enough to purchase a pair . Section 202 (nosebleeds) at the MGM Grand, but at least i'm in the door, right?

That's awesome about Smackdown. Its a much better show than Raw (The C show). I wouldn't mind going to a Smackdown again soon. I want Wrestlemania and NXT tickets for Mania weekend, but I don't think I can afford this all

[ThememanXX]

Yeah I wanted to go to WM but my brother and his friend bought tickets and never invited me, haha. I went to two Manias with him a few years ago. Ah well, I’ll watch it on the network and not freeze my balls off at MetLife in April!

I was thinking about going to Mania this year but decided not to. I went the last time at MetLife and I have no desire to sit in the upper deck of a football stadium cold as shit for 6 hours with a terrible view. And I’m not splurging for good seats. I’ll jist get drunk and watch at home

I've never been to one, so I will one day. I'll get decent but not floor seats, and do the whole weekend. But part of the problem is that I had my first Mania get together for Wrestlemania 3. One of those guys is still one of the three others that gets together at my house every year to watch. So I'll only go if those guys go, too. Haven't been able to make that happen yet.

Yea that’s definitely the right mind set. If you’re going to do it, go all out. That’s my one disappointment in general about my WM29 experience. Aside from it being kind of a lame Mania, I only went to the big show and drove there that morning and back home after the show, so I didn’t really get that feeling of doing the whole big event. Just felt like going to any show close by but obviously bigger. I’d like to go fly and spend the weekend somewhere cool if I do it again.

When I went it wasn't quite the spectacle it is now. I went to WM 23 and the ROH show the night before. AXXESS was literally a hallway with a few things set up and Chavo Jr signing autographs. I'd love to go now because I'd want to go to Mania, Takeover, some of the indy shows, and the real axxess.

But I'll never be able to afford it

Yeah, I think my days of doing a 4-day pro wrestling related trip where I spend over a grand have long passed me by; don't feel so bad.

[Wildcats82]

See like I said it wasn't as big of a spectacle when I went. I sat WAYYYY up but my ticket I think was $75. I don't feel like digging it up. My hotel room in downtown Detroit was $50 a night. Not the nicest hotel but it had a bed and a TV. And it was about 2 blocks from Ford Field. The ROH show was like $30. So it was pretty easy to afford.

[ThememanXX]

I did 28 & 29. Both times we only did the actual WM PPV event, no HOF, no RAW, no residual stuff. Fun, but not exactly worth doing it more than once.

[Wildcats82]

As silly as it sounds, I actually found myself yelling "CMON KOFI!!!!" during his match with Daniel Bryan tonight. That was a freaking great match and an awesome moment.

Also, I love that Daniel Bryan is such a great heel that the Mania crowd was booing him. Hell I was practically booing him. he is the best.

[mja271]

Kofi/Bryan was amazing and the highlight of the show. Nothing else came close. Overall I thought most of the outcomes were good but the show is so obnoxiously long that it actively detracts from my enjoyment. It’s impossible to ask a crowd to sustain energy for 7 hours and it shows in the back end of the event. They never recovered from the Kofi moment.

[drh424s]

I rhought miz and shane was good as well, surprising outcome too

[celluloid hero]

I had a fun night and enjoyed the show, even if I think it's impossible to have heat on a main event 7.5 hours into a show. Nothing was bad, even if some was short and didn't have the heat. I just love Mania despite any flaws.
