    Main Event Night 2 set so; Punk Vs Reigns. The battle of the youngsters. Pretty Underwhelming.

    The rumored Drew Vs Cody Vs Fatu for the other belt on Night 1 seems equally as underwhelming.

    The lifeboat has set sail

    'New ERA' as announced by Triple H

    Can see Rocky sticking his beak in again in some capacity

    Kind of want this Mania to be over so can be happy with my choice of going in 2025 😆

    If the rumours are true that Reigns is taking time off(again) until Survivor Series then that pretty much confirms Punk retains, the other match I wouldnt be one bit surprised if they put the belt back on Cody although I think giving Fatu a short reign until a MITB cash in would be decent.

    MITB been September this year makes it a bit tricky for a short reign

    Fatu been inserted and winning the world title would be great. Massive pop for him last year winning the US title

    I would love to see Drew retain at Mania and get the credit he deserves.

    Punk v Roman doesnt really do anything for me either. They will overbook the hell out of it to keep it interesting.

    Anyone thinking one of the women's matches will close out night 1 ?

    Obviously Punk vs Roman is the night 2 closer

    Drew vs Orton if it stays one on one is a little meh

    Wondering if it'll become Rhodes vs Orton by then but McIntyre/Orton opening would night one would make sense.

    Rumours of it been a multi man match

    How they'll justify it storyline wise will be intresting

    I thought it could be Cody v Drew v Fatu night one and then the winner v Orton night two.

    Hotel, flights and tickets booked!

    Have gotten into WWE since it dropped on Netflix (suppose their plan of getting an audience worked on me anyway!)

    Anyone have tips, tricks for Mania in Vegas?

    Have ordered my Danhausen tshirt :)

    You'll have a blast, went last year

    Shop in the likes of Walgreens, avoid hotel stores

    Bring plenty of cash for tipping

    Make sure you read up on public transport etc because places look closer together than they actually are

    Be prepared to spent

    ABC stores for soda, water, beer etc

    Find out what group your hotel is attached to, get a players card and eat drink and gamble on that groups property, charging everything to your room, when you check out do it in person and ask if you've earned anything, you could get anything from food and beverage credits to resort fees waived to a comped night. Worst they can say is no, they hear the question 100 times a day.

    Spend a night on Freemont Street, better value than the strip and 3 stages with bands.

    Hydrate and wear sunscreen, that desert heat and 24h partying will destroy you.

    if Oba doesnt win.. we riot !!!

    They cannot have Brock win here.. they will literally cut off their own hands and kill any momentum they have with Oba Femi.. the guy is connecting with audiences and looks amazing so far..

    I booked the flight and hotel for the week through Love Holidays for €700. Expecting an extra bit for Resort Fees though.

    I booked in the Gods for both nights for $300. On Monday they had a 3:16 sale with 31.6% off. I asked on TM chat for an upgrade for equal value using that code. Got alot closer (from section 400 to 200) for an extra $30 in handling fees.

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124312284#Comment_124312284

    Yes - got tickets for both nights. Never been to a Mania either. Was only considering going for the Sunday and going to a Watch Party onthe Saturday, but they had the watchban on before I booked tickets. Figured its a trip for my 40 years - may as well make the most of it.

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124312326#Comment_124312326

    There have been nonstop announcments of wrestlers - the whole place should be a vibe!

    Thanks for the tips guys - am getting excited.

    Booked a day trip to the Grand Canyon - suppose gotta do something somewhat educational/good for the brain for the week.

    And booked the Wizard of Oz in the Sphere. $100 to go to the cinema seems like the biggest scam going.

    Brother was in the Sphere last year for The Eagles and raved about it. I think he talked about it more than his actual wedding!

    If you get a chance you should check out some of the Indy shows happening they are great value for money and have some amazing talent and the atmosphere is always great.

    Real life wrestling fans are the best in the world and there is no tribalism there with them.

    Why do the Mania graphics seem to have 2 different styles this year with one being futuristic and the other post apocalyptic? I doubt they have a theme for each night, considering how long it takes to build the set.
