    As much as I enjoyed the Tna shows I went to,its hard to get excited about this.Never been to a Wwe show but i'd imagine its just Rest Holds,Posing & phoning it in.I'd love to go to a Dragon Gate show as they'd be fair different from the Boring WWE/TNA booking format.I don't see myself paying money to see The Miz,Jack Swagger,Rob Terry & Ken Kennedy or whatever he's called.They're just Boring,Bland & Talentless.

    I went to the 1st show in the NS and really enjoyed it and it seemed that all the wrestlers were putting a lot of effort into each match especially the ME with Aj Vs Angle and also Borash getting the crowd hyped up and the whole Backstage thing was great

    Well ive been to about 6 WWE shows now and i have to say that i really enjoyed every one of them, Sure we didnt get any ground breaking matches but i never saw any really bad ones either and the crowd interaction is always great, Plus if you think that Miz & Kennedy are boring & talentless then you must not watch a lot of their work.

    Besides the Cage match he was carried through by the Absolutely Outstanding Kurt Angle i'd struggle to find a good match Kennedy had,the whole Assholes thing is scraping the bottom the barrel for character ideas.As for the Miz his match with R-Truth at a ppv a few months back was so boring I fell asleep watching it.I don't think either will ever worry Triple H or AJ Styles to top they're in ring work.Which is surely what people pay for going to House shows.I remember meeting Angle after a House Show in Liverpool & couldn't help feeling dissapointed I didn't see him wrestle that nite.

    I think the fact that TNA are not on the road as much as wwe is helps to get some decent matches


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Considering that the show in the O2 was at the end of a long tour and the crowd was poor numbers wise it was an excellent show,The wrestlers really put in the effort after being spurred on by the crowd

    What were the prices for that show again? I think if they would have had them at the price they are for the upcoming show it could have sold well

    They were expensive but that comes with the cost of renting the O2 aswell, I suppose since they had sold out the National Stadium (2,000 people per night) two nights in a row the year before,they thought they could get maybe 5,000 to the O2 but due to the high ticket prices and relatively poor advertising (as usual,although MCD weren't exactly excellent) is didn't work out as they would have wanted.

    Although I commend them for coming and performing as they could have easily cancelled the show and as far as i remember the promoter wanted them to

    Yea AFAIK to rent out the O2 its 85,000 per night and yea i never seen much advertisement for the show. I also heard that i think MCD wanted to pull the show due to low sales but TNA wanted to still do the show

    I never even heard it was on in the O2 it was by chance I was at ticket master and the person in front of me was getting tickets so I bought some.
    Was a great show despite the turn out though I did get to see Kasarian with his Suicide costume on which ruined that storyline for me

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭smilerf


    Sting was over here with WWA in 2002.

    I don't think Hogan has ever appeared at an event over here.

    i thought kennedy had a pretty good match with michaels a few years ago

    Michaels,Shawn Michaels who couldn't have a good match with him.No-one made the past it Flair look as good in the last decade as Hbk did.Thats a testement to his work.I just doubt Kennedy will ever be able to get a good match with a oppenent who isn't a Wrestler the Calibre of a AJ Styles,Samoa Joe or Kurt Angle.

    No details avaiable on ticketmaster ... whats the deal going to get vip tickets or what ever there called !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭*tripsi*


    How many meet and greet tickets will there be??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    From anyone who has gotten meet and greet ticket/package thing before, what's the restriction like on signing stuff?

    For example, I have an ECW ons jersey from 2005 and had a small plan years ago to try and get as many original ecw stars on it.
    So far I have RVD, raven, balls, sabu, foley and kid kash. And I'm salivating at team 3D, or even just one of them getting on it.
    I know it'd be taking a chance expecting them, where it's likely to be Wolfe, aj and more tna talent.

    So basically my question is there much restriction to what you can get signed?
    I know.. I'm taking a chance bringing any kind of wwe merch into the place. :p
    May as well stroll in with a cena shirt.

    TNA have no kind of anti WWE policy so you could bring in what you want to have signed assuming there will be any ex ECW guys there

    Ticketmaster says-

    Ticket prices - €34.00 - €75.00

    VIP tickets at €75 which includes entry at 6pm, free programme and pre show meet and greet.


    Doesn't mention if the 75 includes ring-side seats or standard

    Well i think that if you get on there early in the morning and pay the €75 you'll get ringside.

    So im guessing Ticketmaster putting up 2 dates is a mistake? because they haven't put anything on the website about it.
