WrestleReunion in Atlanta

StoneColdFan

--WrestleReunion will be running an event on April 2nd in Atlanta, GA. The event will be in the morning and not clash with Wrestlemania 27. Talent has been lined up for the event, and will be officially announced later this week.

They kinda made a mistake with the date since Wrestlemania is on the 3rd..anyways anybody going to go to this? i'll be going to axxess on the sunday morning so i might have to give it a miss

jmolloy

If it's on the Sunday I'll go depending on the line up, if it's the Saturday Morning Madness takes priority

Whole Show

Bloody hell, Thats the morning for HBK VIP which ive purchased. Hope it runs after about 12 so I can make it.

Initium

WCW Themed, I will be there 100%. You can get pics with your favourite wrestlers, not like VIP Axxess where they will be seated in a table and you can't get a good pic with them, just a sign. I still remember Booker T's fanfest @ WM25, was awesome! I meet everyone, including Sting!

mmg200000

Is this on the 2nd or 3rd, and where can I get tickets?

Whole Show

The Booker T convention was awesome, one of the highlights, I definatley want to go to this but hope its still going after 12 when Axxess finishes. Ill substitue the 2nd axxess session for this.

It's being held in the Downtown Marriott - Wrestlemania Sunday, 9am to 5pm - How awesome is that?! If you walk from the Marriott Marquis (where WM package holders are staying) to the Georgia Dome & Philips Arena, you have to walk past this hotel. Definitely worth popping in to see on the way to WM, as Bruno Sammartino is the first name announced, billed as his last ever public signing!

WrestleReunion Hitting the ATL
02 February 2011

After an amazing weekend in Los Angeles at Wrestlereunion 5, we’re sponsoring a one day get together for all fans visiting Atlanta for the biggest wrestling party of the year – Wrestlemania weekend. Information on our next 2 full scale Wrestlereunion weekends will be on display. But its not a party without some guests, right??
We are proud to announce that the legendary Bruno Sammartino has agreed to make this event his last public signing; further details including additional guests and pricing will be announced shortly.
Our signing will be at the Downtown Marriott on Sunday from 9am until 5pm; our guests available for pictures and autographs throughout the day. Also, we will host a small private luncheon with a few of the guests for a more personal interaction with select wrestlers.
No worries, we’ll have things wrapped in time for everybody to head to the Georgia Dome since the hotel is located only 1/3 of a mile from the Marta Peachtree Center Station and 1/2 a mile from the Five Points Marta. Its also a short walk to the Georgia dome.
For more hotel information, check out www.atlantamarriottdowntown.com

Is there no end to the awesomeness of this weekend?!

I could wind up meeting both the WWE champion of today, The Miz, and the WWWF champion from nearly 50 years ago, Bruno Sammartino, all on the same day. How cool is that?

I think so, the first Sunday Axxess session ends at 12/12:30pm (I think).

That should give you a few hours before WM.:)

I know the gates at the Georgia Dome open for WM27 at 4:30pm/start time 6:30pm.

jmolloy

That's a different Mariott to the one been used for the package holders, still looks good though but it's a different Marriott

Just looking at who appeared at wrestlereunion 5 impressive line-if you ignore some of the obvious wwe contracted talent like Mean Gene and Bret might be a similar line up for mania

Appearing at the convention were: Mike Graham, Paul Orndorff, Tito Santana, Mr. Saito, Mr. Fuji, Bob Orton Jr, SoCal Val, Traci Brooks, Ryan Shamrock, Terry Funk, Ken Patera, Tatanka, Savio Vega, Val Venis, Gene Okerlund, Barry Orton, Roddy Piper, Tammy Lynn Sytch, Serena Deeb, Shane Douglas, The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian and The Warlord), Billy Anderson, Torrie Wilson, Nick Mitchell, Billy Graham, Hart Foundation (Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Jimmy Hart, Danny Davis, Vampiro, Christy Hemme, Hurricane Helms, Mr. Águila, Mil Mascaras, Dos Caras, Jake Roberts, Chavo Guerrero, Mando Guerrero, Harley Race

StoneColdFan

So it is...oh well i'll still think about going

StoneColdFan

whoops posted twice.

reytedr

hi guys am going to the Axxess on Sunday AM, just been on the WrestleReunion site, says there will be about 10-12 names and that there is no charge for entry, it's just charges by wrestler, do you know what the prices are likely to be per star if any of you have been events organised by Wrestlereunion

Kane-N-Nite

This is something that sounds cool but unfortunately I have prior arrangements so I'll be missing this one.

jmolloy

confirmed names so far bruno sammartino, cowboy bob orton and winter/katie lea

Kane-N-Nite

I would like to meet Orton...
I guess depending on the rest of my group, we may fit it in.

Nadet

Scott Steiner will be there as well.

mmg200000

Man Sunday is going to be awesome!

Kane-N-Nite

Damn right, some HBK, then possible WrestleReunion & the big one!

mmg200000

Add Christy Hemme to the list....All I have to say is DAMN!!!!!!!

jmolloy

starting to become a very attractive option this

Yes. Quite. I'm just worried about timing. Won't rush HBK, but still wanna be early for Mania.

jmolloy

10 minute walk from axxess, anyone who was at the booker t equivalent event how bad were queues etc?

StoneColdFan

Scott Steiner hass been added,wish i could go to this but i have other plans made

Initium

Tommy Dreamer! I'm going to buy my VIP ticket!

Kane-N-Nite

Would be sweet to get Tommy Dreamers signature on my jersey...

For people wanting to be treated like a VIP and obtain pictures/autographs with everybody, we have a VIP option that allows 1 photo op with each of the 10 guests and 1 autograph with each guest on the item of your choice plus a seat at our luncheon for $199. Also included with the VIP is “FAST PASS”, front of the line access to our guests anytime you choose to arrive between 12 and 3pm (you would be behind any VIP that shows up before you, but can move in front of any non VIP).

6 guests announced already going to be 10. seems steep enough tbh

As compared to the 75 bucks to see Taker or HBK I see this as not bad.

Kane-N-Nite

I'd rather pay $96 to see HBK & Taker any day. Seems a bit steep overall to me.

mmg200000

So 150 bucks for two WWE wrestlers where you might get an autograph, and pic. Or spend $50 extra and get to meet 8 more wrestlers or divas, and get a pic and an autograph. Yeah I'm going with the wrestle reunion. Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with HBK or Taker, but I feel the Wrestlr reunion is a better deal.

Kane-N-Nite

No might about it, thats what you get with the VIP. My jersey is almost full of signatures, so Axxess gets priority for me.

The Fly

Hmm well the $75 Axxess tickets includes a standard 35 dollars ticket for everything else at Axxess... so excluding that it's like $40 to meet say HBK? Not a massive amount more than the individual Steiner ticket. If you want to meet them all and go full VIP it's obv better value, but id only ever do that on a single ticket if I went and only if someone i particularly want to meet gets added.

Kane-N-Nite

I agree. Isn't it $15 to meet Christy Hemme & $15 to meet Bob Orton? Just doesn't seem right.

mmg200000

Add in Carlito now.

Initium

Well I think the main difference is you can take a photo with the wrestler of your choice at Wrestlereunion, and VIP AXXESS just an autograph and if you are lucky enough someone behind you will take the pic when he is signing. If it was a REAL photo opp with Undertaker or HBK I'll pay $100 without a doubt.

reytedr

they're going to do a Luncheon for $59 3pm to 430pm, strongly considering it but Mania doors open at 430pm, and show starts at 630pm, what time do you think the traditional battle royal will start?

Out of all the stars most hyped about Bruno,Carlito,Steiner and Hemme appearing

6.30pm must be the dark match ppv's always start on the hour

Kane-N-Nite

I'm leaning towards meeting HBK, then either go to the next Axxess for a little while or go straight to the Dome. Be better if it was held on Monday I think.

jrocko1981

I WISH I had HBK VIP if I did WrestleReunion wouldn't even be a option but see as how I don't I'll probably head over there after my early axxess session.

mmg200000

Mickie James is the 8th guest.

me too. Paid through paypal worked out at 150.79 EUR.Nice addition to the weekend,meeting Mickie James again sealed the deal for me. Only thing is I've been to the AWR show in letterkenny and found all the wrestlers lined up taking the payment as a depressing site, hope they have people selling stuff on their behalf

It's a strange one as I've been to shows where for example the the star of the play will be outside at the venue entrance selling their cd's and it all looks respectable.

However, the sight of one of your childhood idols or even someone you still consider a star going in and out their bumbag looking desperate doesn't really do it for me.

I'm sure people would volunteer to help take in the cash etc, in return they get a free pic and autograph with the stars, and everyone's happy.

The only merchandise vendor will be highspots.com. There will additional wrestlers bringing themselves into the signing, our guess is most of them will be guys that are based/live in the ATL area. So far, Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, and Christopher Daniels have all confirmed as "vendors".

Interesting but probably won't have the extra to pay for them. Gonna buy Mickie's CD at the event as well which will be more outta my spending money but worth it

jmolloy

Anyone considering booking this VIP ticket holders will be given a choice of who who's table they want to sit at at the luncheon. On the downside Mickie isn't staying for the luncheon (shame).Anyway the earlier you book the more likely it is you get your preferred choice of wrestler

mmg200000

And we have Kamala now!

Final Official Wrestlereunion Guests for Atlanta are the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. That's right, the final guest is a tag team!

Awww no Demolition.

EdK

The lineup for this isn't great at all but I've always wanted to meet Scott Steiner so i'll head along just for that seeing as there is no entrance fee

WweAndTnaRules

I think its a great lineup. Can't wait to meet Carlito, Scott Steiner, The Iron Sheik, Mickie James and of course Bruno Sammartino What a Wrestlemania weekend to look forward to
