    Might be a tad premature posting about this, but with the tragic passing of Reid Fliehr today (Ric's son), there might be a question mark over Ric Flair's participation at Axxess, specifically his VIP signing on Thursday night April 4th.

    I really can't see Flair doing appearances at this time, nor should he be expected to.

    R.I.P. Reid Fliehr.

    Does anyone know what the Izod will charge for parking for Axxess and Raw? I note there is free parking at the MetLife to allow access to the WWE superstore, is the Izod walkable from there?

    Thanks

    Hey, I'm in NYC now, staying at the Grand Hyatt (Platinum package hotel). The room keys have cool WM designs.

    I am going to Wrestlecon Saturday so don't need my Axxess tickets for Saturday (2 Kane VIP and 2 GA for the afternoon session).

    I have the GA tickets in hand and will collect Kane VIPs tonight.

    If anyone wants them and can meet at the Hyatt tonight after Axxess or tomorrow morning let me know.
    Looking to sell as pairs. Cost is the same as they would cost from Ticketmaster.

    Thanks.

    Just been to the first axxess session and boi did it suck. Alot of attractions taken away like undertakers graveyard., walking through the costumes etc. It came down to doing a lap of "the Point" and nothing more. There were autograph signings but usual midcard ones. We were in and out in abt 45 mins


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Back from Bret and Shawn signing way oversold and took way longer than advertised but everything happened and finally got to meet HBK so happy days

    Is there any chance of getting a photo with any of them or is it just autographs? Sounds a bit lacklustre alright.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Back from Supercard of Honor good show if not amazing glad for Jay Briscoe after all the years and the amateur look if Kevin Steen annoys me


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,908 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola

    Have a great time, everyone! Fingers crossed that myself and the mister will be going next year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 108 ✭✭kwillcox


    After watching WM on TV this year i think the show was a bit of a let down. The stage looked great, hall of fame class was one of the best groups however the show was average.

    Punk vs Taker match of the night for sure. The other matches just seemed like a raw or smackdown just with more time, no real Holly **** moments.

    So annoyed they cancelled the 8 person tag. I feel so bad for all those 8 individuals, must have been so disappointing to know you were wrestling at Wrestlemania only to find out minutes before your match would be cancelled.

    Planning on going to WM 30 so hopefully it is a better show. Im sure the atmosphere and events in NYC were fun though. I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback for those who went this year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭Hendo9


    Anyone got 2 RAW tickets for sale?

    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 108 ✭✭kwillcox


    Can anyone tell me how the VIP experience where you got to go backstage at RAW and get a pic on the stage was????

    It seemed like a cool thing to do but haven't herd how it actually turned out. Would anyone recommend doing it for next year?


  • Registered Users Posts: 348 ✭✭mikey13


    Just got back! That was the best week of my life :D

    Coming back UNDERTAKER was in the airport and was standing next to us at one point!

    Raw was amazing! the Fandango chants started in the section i was in, there was a few Ipswitch fans next to me and a everton fans behind and all we did was shout random crap :p 'Wade Barrets Barmy Army' even got a 'Maggy Thatcher' chant going :p
