Please note there will be a zero tolerance policy on muppetry. I will have absolutely no problem in closing this thread down again and will have less of a problem in handing out lengthy bans.

I've no bother with Martina facing B Cool, Angel Cruz, Joey Ryan or Chuck Taylor but Pete Dunne?!!!? What's the hook there? Waste of a bruiserweight appearance imo

Found this to be bizarre. Why not get a top class woman in to face her? Why not book one of the many ladies working hard to make themselves known, make a career for themselves.

Surely allowing women to face women, in prominent role is the best way to treat them as equal?

Surprised WWE would let a champion under their name have this bout tbh.

The queue is a mystery to me. Let's say you buy a floor seat, evey floor seat is pretty great. The trade off for queueing for hours to get a front row seat compared to rocking up when doors open and getting a seat in god forbid the third or fourth row seems like a no brainer.

I completely agree with this. The q'ing is off putting alright and it's really the only way to get a good seat. The q'ing now starts from 11 am for doors that open for 6 pm. Standing at shows or q'ing for 5 hours is just not an option for me anymore. Once you push past 35 the legs just aren't able for that as much as they used to be. The atmosphere in the Tivoli is unbeatable tho but yeah I see what you mean by being in the right frame of mind for all the effort required to get in, some people take breaks from shows for this very reason.

I thought the seats were ticketed? If you bought a seat ticket you should not have to queue for six hours.

Tivoli is grand if you're a fit young fella and you can see over people's heads! There is a charm or grittiness to it that's hard to dispute but I agree it can be a bit much sometimes. You have to be in the right form for it and also be kinda lucky with what spot you got. Having said that, I've always had a blast at it but can see why people wouldn't be fond of it.

€6 a pint kinda hinders that after they built a rep on "bag of cans + non-PG wrestling". The show itself is always amazing and looks great on video though.

looking forward to the May show.

Saturdays's show was very good, I particularly enjoyed the Q and A, Speedball and of course the Cage match itself was spectacular.

I thought the venue was a decent choice, due to it's location. The Luas made it very easy to get to, a quick 15 minutes between the venue and Busaris. The beer was good and reasonably priced. Most GAA venues are the same so the only real issue was the toilet situation and a complete lack of food. Next time i'll be bringing a bag with some packed food.

With regards to future venues, I don't think OTT will ever be able to find a venue more suitable than the Tivoli, that place really has a charm that just is not available anywhere else. Dublin doesn't have much choice venues other than really large or small venues.

Tivoli is an awful venue. It was fine in the early days but now, the seats sellout almost instantly and then you're stuck with a crap view standing. It's awful for people who aren't tall and/or can't get a spot close to the ring for a good spot.

Agree that Dublin is short on venues for a small show but the White Collar show in Hangar on December 8th was OK but probably too small for OTT.

Maybe they could try Whelan's but the cost may be too high and the ring would likely take up the bulk of the floor - at the least there'd be the upstairs.

Or the Academy/Spirit....

Angron

Yeah, I think I'll get a ticket for this show.

I've met Minoru a few times and he's super sound out in real life! Will be hitting this for sure!

I am not missing the chance to see Ishii. 141% going. How much are the meet and greets usually?

OTT don't put on bad shows. I never knew Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, Kings of the North, Speedball, Matt Riddle and plenty more before going to a show. I take it as a given that it's gonna be a great time no matter who's there. Not knowing Suzuki or Ishii is only gonna make you be blown away when you see them. Two of the hardest f*ckers you've ever seen. I'd just go I was in your shoes!

When are tickets on sale for Scrappermania?

Not 100% sure if I'm going to go, cause there's not really a name there that massively appeals to me at the moment. No clue who the two Asian guys are....

Saturday was great, really enjoyed it.
Keith Lee Vs. "SpeedBall" Mike Bailey was match of the night, and the cage match was a very close second. I was siting right beside the cage door, so I was very close to the action for the cage match.

noisenotmusic

Looking forward to the VOD, first show I've missed in ages since I couldn't get a ticket.

Probably the best OTT show I been too. Had the "VIP" tickets. We got there at 5 and it was first in to grab the best seats. The Q&A started. It was Jordan, Martina, Keith Lee and Joe/Luther Ward. It was light-hearted chat and good fun. Interesting to hear from Joe that this venue has two chances to make it work, maybe working with the U.K. companies for VS. OTT type show and how hard it was to run shows outside of Dublin.

We had an hour wait after the Q&A before the show started. The venue is not great. It's your typical run-down GAA hall. No food, cold, not many toilets, the bar only had two lads working behind and were completely overwhelmed by the crowd.

My bad luck happened again. As sat behind were a pack of Trump's. Non-stop talking throughout the matches about whatever "shoot" youtube video they just watched and what's wrong with the WWE. They only stop to shout random stuff out as loud as they could to get some attention. When it didn't work they would shout out it again but louder. Despite no one ever getting in on their chants or laughing at their "Jokes", it won't stop them from just doing it again and again.

Not going through the whole card in detail, but wasn't a bad match. Trent Seven was great and LJ Clearly was good fun on the Mic at the start of the match. A great way to start the show.
Mark Hawkins Vs. Adam Brooks & even Zack Saber Jnr Vs. Travis Banks felt like really good exhibition matches but lack something to get your teeth into.
Felt this was the same problem for Jordan match with Timothy Thatcher. But all good matches and Jordon is super over.

The four-way with Chucky T, Angel Cruz, B-Cool & Martina was so much fun. Again the P.ricks behind took some of the fun out it. Shouting stuff at Martina that was more suited in a 90's crowd. Shows the level of class we were dealing with.

The best match was Keith Lee Vs. "SpeedBall" Mike Bailey. A video beforehand, set up the winner would get a spot on the big show in May. There was a big "Scrapper-Mania" sign in the arena over a basketball stand. Sadly none of the wrestlers pointed to it after they won. The match was insane and just giving that little storyline reason think helped get it out of just exhibition match feel.

The Main event was the cage match. It took them 15 minutes to get it up and it looked like it could fall over any minute. Held together by cable ties and the ring crew sweat. It was still cool and fair play to the OTT team for doing it.
The match rules were, that the match only started when all six men were in the ring and you won when all three members of the team escaped.
They started by fighting outside. After a while, Bonesaw got into the cage and all three of the Rapture got in and locked the door. Beat down on Bonesaw while the other Kings of the North tried to get in but were stopped by the Rapture every time. The Kings (Wearing army camouflage) got a ladder. Climbed it and jumped off the top of the cage. Can't go into the whole match as it was insane, but the Rapture got the win. The whole crowd was deflated. Except for the idiots behind me who thought it was great.

Much shorter than the previous shows. It would have been over earlier wasn't for the delay getting the cage up, which you could forgive that as they never had a cage before and the match was worth the wait.

Jerichoholic

You had me at Ishii.

Looks like an opportune time to make my OTT debut I reckon. In the crowd, lest there be any confusion.

Scrappermania 4 = Minoro Suzuki, that alone is enough reason to get a ticket for the show

montyrebel

Saw on twitter that all deals are now signed for the next scrappermania, no word yet on any names though

showpony1

the women's show is on a bank holiday Sunday.
though people may not want to pay for back to back nights of sports entertainment - especially when the night before already is Martina focused.

I imagine though tickets will sell nearer the time as there is this sat to pay for, and the march 3rd show going on sale Monday too.

It'll be interesting to see the turnout for the all women OTT show.

The only reason I won't be going is that it's on a Sunday.

Edit: As of 7:05 pm floor and stage seats still available. These typically sell out within minutes. Not a good sign.

I was at three of those shows. I think they just grew too big for Dolan's. There's no way they were making a profit from such a small venue, considering the talent they were bringing down here. It must make more sense to do big numbers in Dublin and Belfast instead. I'm trying to think of other suitable venues around Limerick but nothing really comes to mind.

Big Top maybe?
