I'd say Snake will be good this year, seeing as he's cleaned up his act!

I met him last year at wrestlereunion and he was in good form but looked old and tired. Looks like DDP is doing some good work with him though.

Kevin Nash, Lita, Rob Van Dam, Beth Phoenix all added to WrestleCon

EdK

Hogan just added pricey enough though

Yahoooooo for HOGAN!!!!

It's a proper Meet & Greet so if you love Hogan it be worth it considering your there for a wrestling trip!!

It really is getting better and better. Can't wait.

If I could have gotten a photo with him at TNA a few weeks ago £30 would have been a bargain

Ah right, I met Hogan at the fan interaction in Manchester. That's not a meet and greet. Getting shouted at for trying to take photos is ridiculous. This will be proper. 5-10 into a room and then you spend you few mins with Hogan and get your autographs and stuff. I'm defo in

Whole Show

Got my Hogan tickets yesterday, anyone else going.

Think this year ill be spending most of my time at The Con rather than Axxess.

Gonna take my Enclopedia to get signed, will look pretty good with Hogan, Warrior, HBK and Bret in.

I have my Hogan, Warrior & Bret tickets for WrestleCon. Ill be doing 2 Axxess and both days of Con. Doing VIP Axxess at 8am on the Sunday and then taxi to Con for Warior. Loads of others I want to meet at it as well.

EdK

Opted in on Hogan in the end going out with a bang after six consecutive Wrestlemania's I don't think i'll be going again for a while spent the last year getting my health in order next part of that is going back to college and getting my **** together,It's so hard to stop going though with these quality events nearly every day

Whole Show

Same with me Ed, I always said id stop at 30 but I reckon this is the last one for me for a few years, but the price of these holidays goes up and up every year. This year has been insanley exspensive.

Went to 25, Looking back this was losse change to what ive paid lately ha ha.

Saved up two years to go to 27, Was not gonna go last year but had some unexpected cash so that paid for that and Ive always wanted to go to NYC so I could not go this year.

However The package prices were scandalous this year(im sure they will rise again this year), You get less stuff than ever, Im not patient enough to go through every event through TM, so I always do the package. The whole VIP axxess mess really put a downer on me this year, An absolute joke.

Im pretty much skipping axxess this year to do the con, the list of guys at the convention is amazing.

BTW Kurt Angle has just been added.

ciano316

WrestleCon is looking like it will be 100 times better than Axxess! Some unreal guests! Need something good for Warrior, Hogan, Bret & Angle to sign. Met Nash & HBK last year and bought the Winged Eagle belt before going up to HBK so had both of them sign it but don't feel like carrying it all the way back over.

EdK

Bobby Heenan added and while he's a legend I don't think I could meet him as it would be to upsetting IMO

Still gonna meet him just to say I did. The man is a legend!

Kurt Angle will be only signing from 10-2 on the Sunday now due to TNA commitments on the Saturday.

The WWE have given William Regal to replace Bruno Sammartino at WrestleCon.

I was lucky enough to meet him last year in Miami and had my photo taken with him. I understand your fears, but he's a great guy to meet.

His wife is always with him. He can't talk at all, but he can understand your words. His wife can kind of understand him or at least understand his needs.

I had my photo taken with him round the other side of the table he was sat at, so I was very close to him. I said to him how I was from England and how much I enjoyed his work growing up and how he was a legend etc. He grasped my hand, and shook it very firmly and was really grateful for the compliment. I was so glad I met him. It really was one of the highlights of my trip to Wrestlemania last year.:)

Ric Flair added to the Sunday.

ClassicsGuy

Ric Flair now claiming on his Facebook that he ISN'T coming to Wrestlecon:

"Heard I'm being advertised to appear at WrestleCon on Sun., April 7th. I haven't talked to those guys about this event and neither have my managers. Sorry kids but I will NOT be attending. If something changes, I'll let you all know. I WILL however by signing autographs in Manhattan with Big Time Wrestling onFrieday, April 5th. I'll post all the details shortly."

WrestleReunion founder Sal Corrente said

If you want to know the full details of this Ric Flair debacle the version on PWINSIDER is ACCURATE. This version was also confirmed by the lady who made the arrangements on behalf of Ric Flair at his request, that lady is Wendy "Fifi" Barlow. I am a credible person with a reputation for paying everyone. My company rarely gives out deposits. A deposit when given to a performer is supposed to be held basically in Escrow until the job is complete. I can assure you 90% or MORE of all wrestlers who ask for a deposit and get it spend it like it was already earned. I was in no way shape or form willing to take that risk with Ric Flair. The other thing that I don't believe in is CHANGING THE DEAL and that's what was attempting to be done. I can tell you that Ric Flair lost $15,000.00 he would have made that was guaranteed and another potential $5,000.00 in additional signings that were lined up for him that same day. This was WrestleReunions one and only chance to work with Ric Flair like anyone else who has disappointed my customers they will not be welcome working for me or my company again. There are various rumours (that I can't confirm) that other individuals influenced Ric Flair in the decisions that he made relating to this appearance. If they did I hope that all are planning to chip in and give him $20,000.00. What I can confirm is no representative of Ric Flairs ever attempted to contact me about this appearance at any time. It is sad that anyone would even try to imply that Wendy Barlow a very credible lady lied in booking this appearance. We believed in her credibility that's why we went forward with a high risk appearance.

Thank you
