    For me, Flair vs Savage from WM 8 hasto be shown, and hopefully with Flairs after match promo because its just pure brilliance! My favourite match ever.

    Others id like to watch would be: Hbk vs Taker from WM 25, Austin vs Hitman from WM 13, Rock vs Austin from WM 17, and Angle vs Lesnar from WM 19... There are plenty of others I'd like to see obviously, but they'd be up there with my favourite matches!

    Only problem i have with watching matches beforehand is
    1) It'll no doubt outshine this year's mania - you're hand-picking the best of previous manias & by comparison the reason we're all therewill be a let down

    and

    2) would rather chat than watch TV, we'll get enough of that come midnight!

    in any case, good times :) looking forward to hearing wrestling music outside my earphones/apartment lol

    I'm actually pretty excited about this! I can't explain it but I think it's to do with the fact that I'll be around some great people who live wrestling as much as I do! In a way it feels like being at Mania!
    I cannot stress how much I appreciate what Leggo has done for everyone and thank him for all his hard work!

    HBK vs Bret from Wm 12
    HBK vs Razor Ladder Match WM 10
    Bret vs Owen WM 10
    Savage Vs Steamboat WM3 (surely!)
    HBK vs Jericho WM 19.

    Leggo, your blog is fantastic - the Mania preview makes brilliant reading. Well done Sir!

    I think Leggo said the classic matches will be muted with music on over it, so it won't be everybody must sit down shut up and watch the screens!

    I think it will be Raven whining about his time in WWF. It's a test to see who can leave the fastest you see after 4am.

    They released 50 tickets at 12 noon today according to the face book message I got.

    I'd doubt they'd be sold out just yet but I wouldn't leave it too much longer.

    Yeah I was hoping it wouldn't be overcrowded to the point where you can't move or breathe, should still be some awesome atmosphere though.

    I intend getting my ass there before 9 to ensure I get a decent vantage point.Now of course,this will likely mean come 4 am I will be stupendously drunk but feck it,has to be done.

    Leggo,whats the story with the tickets reserved through yourself?Do I just go along,give my real name and pay the 5 bucks?

    Good question. What's to stop someone going into CA at 7pm. Taking a seat and ordering food, then staying there for the night....

    What I was told is that the bar has our names. We pay them a 5er and get the ticket.

    As for somebody sneaking in on the sly I presume they would be checking for tickets when 8 rolls around.

    Yep if tickets have been ordered through myself then Captain's will have your name, just tell them and pay there and then. They'll check ID though so everyone make sure you have it.

    Still to finalise crowd control plans but we're already putting measures in place, that's the last minute bits 'n' bobs to sort out. It's a priority though so don't worry it'll be taken care of. :)

    Was just up there tonight to finalise technical plans for the night. Was actually surprised when I saw the full scale of it with the Live area included (have obviously been before, but 'twas ages back before I was even thinking about this, and only been popping in and out during the day up to this point). Loads of space for everyone and plenty of screens too. Was also assured that the volume of the show will be good for everyone. They were telling me that the Gardai popped in during Superbowl night and asked them to turn it down, as the TV volume was so loud you could hear it clearly on Grafton St (keep in mind you can barely hear a band playing there out on the street). So I think we'll be fine somehow. :D I actually feel more organised than I'd anticipated to be after chatting to their tech guy.

    All set and good to go for Sunday. :)

    MULTIPLE SCREENS???????



    I legit thought it would be one big screen at most. Nice work leggo. Did they have any issues with Sky box office?


  • #479

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,061 ✭✭✭leggo


    There's one big screen but a few different flat screens placed around the venue. I reckon most will watch the main show on the big screen at the top but the flat screens will be great for beforehand with the classic matches while everyone chills out and if anyone has viewing difficulty during the show in the event that they get stuck standing behind a 7' giant.

    Loads of mini heart attacks during the week, which is standard for an event like this, but any problems we thought we ran into were solved pretty quickly. Can't say enough about the professionalism of all involved with Captain's. They have their **** together. So all that can stop us now is the extremely unlikely event of a power cut or act of god.

    Did...did I just jinx it? Balls...

    We'll have classic Mania matches on display, I'll be performing a WWE-themed DJ set, there'll be a special LIVE performance from 'The Luke & Duane Show' as they sing their 'Just Take Care, Spike Your Hair' track (as seen on Zack Ryder's YouTube show), and we'll have a late bar serving booze and food all night! Oh, and there might just be a special guest cameo from a WWE superstar on the night!

    Contact Captain America's directly - (Grafton St)
    They put 50 on sale the other day.. might be 1 or 2 left.

    also Captain America;s in Tallaght are running the same gig, I dont think they sold tickets - you just turn up on the night.

    Something just occurred to me, I'm kicking myself I didn't think of this sooner. Tshirts for the event - Captains Wrestlemania party, I was there! Kinda thing. I can see this being a big thing next year, and into the future, so it'd be cool to say you were at the very first mania party.

    Tshirts based around the ticket designs would have been class!
