Shadooby · 02-04-2012 2:14am

"let's go Cena" chants louder than "Cena sucks" chants!

Exclamation Marc · 02-04-2012 2:44am

Atmosphere here.... Unreal!!!

Super-Rush · 02-04-2012 3:20am

What q fukin night

Garseys · 02-04-2012 3:40am

Just in the door, Amazing night. Atmosphere was so good coupled with amazing matches.

Leggo, you sir are a legend. Hopefully captains do something next year aswell, best night out in ages!

Charisteas · 02-04-2012 3:49am

Just got home, have to go to work in 2 hours haha.

Just want to say thanks Leggo for all your hard work and effort, great atmosphere and a resounding success all-round.

Handsome Bob · 02-04-2012 4:27am

Quality night, muchos gracias Leggo.

Only beef I'd have is last orders not being announced. :pac::pac::pac:

Aisling(",) · 02-04-2012 4:28am

Despite being slightly hammered managed to bookend the night with pics with the awesome Luke and Duane....deadly lads who didn't mind the very awkward me getting in a pic with them or being an utter nutter .:)

Bandana boy · 02-04-2012 4:29am

Just in

Amazing night ,would never do anything else again for the big show
Atmosphere was amazing,craic was 90 results on the main was positive.

Tonight will go down as one of the top wrassslin nights of all time, I do not post much in PW but i suspect my photo will be in the recollection thread and a free pint next year for who guess's me

jaykhunter · 02-04-2012 4:31am

Excellent meet up lads, so good the gardai came and turfed us out. GREAT atmosphere, i think it turned a 6/10 show into 8.5. Jericho/Punk really did steal the show, not being able to do any of the drama Trips/Taker were allowed

Cianan2 · 02-04-2012 4:37am

Charisteas, i apologise if i repeated myself alot during our conversation... I had 4 or 5 pitchers....

Great night, fantastic atmosphere, though i was on the receiving end of too many knife-edge chops+woo's.

How Soon Is Now · 02-04-2012 6:45am

Good auld laugh enjoyed meself so did me mates. Hopefully wont be last wrestlemania event in Dublin.
Talked to one fella off of here thanks to a lot of drink forget his name!!!! My only problem was the seating and sound. Hopefully soon we will be able to have night like this in a more suited venue I guess at this stage just thankfull it happened!! :-)

Overall great laugh really good crowd whatever about wrestlemania the nite it self didn't let us down!!!

Fair play everyone involved.

but1er · 02-04-2012 10:28am

highlight of the night..

tables beside the statue of liberty had 2 boards guys i believe and one female?

the women was so drunk got thrown out but before this she sat on my mates lap and are whole area started chanting "cj got a bonner"

if anyone can find famous flora in a cm punk top help us out!!

what a nigh!!

leggo · 02-04-2012 11:08am

All I can say after last night is...wow.

Everyone there took the original idea and turned it into something else, something really special. The atmosphere was unreal. Everyone was on top form and just wanted to have a good night, highlighted mainly by the fact that I believe there was no trouble whatsoever.

I apologise for not being able to get the classic matches on all screens, from about 6pm it felt as if things just weren't going our way and a bunch of freak happenings came one after another meaning we had to change plans on the fly. As I was saying "You can have every fine detail planned but you still just have to wing it on the night." You've no idea how relieved I was once the WWE signature came on the screen for the PPV. We'd no reason to believe it wouldn't, just the way every plan had switched to Plan B made it feel like we may have had to come up with another solution. I think we pulled it together well in the end though and it seems like everyone had a great night...so job done thankfully!

Thanks so much for everything guys. Without boards.ie, the night simply wouldn't have happened, plain and simple. It was your enthusiasm at the start that made me determined to find a venue because I knew that people would go for it and I hope you all got as good a night as you hoped for.

And don't worry guys, you won't be stuck for options for 'Mania 29. I'm sure some of you recognised the bouncer from The Woolshed, for example, walking around taking pics to show them what they missed out on. Other places are going to see the success of this and jump all over it. We've all started something very cool here and wrestling fans in Ireland are going to have a lot more choice from now on. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The pics from last night will be available via my Facebook or Captain's page. I hope to have them up in the next day or two.

Now, who's in for Summerslam?

Super-Rush · 02-04-2012 11:09am

Fukin dying.

They did the usual flash the lights on and off when it was last orders!

Also wanted to say that it felt very emotional after the Taker/Hunter match, it was awesome!
Good job Leggo

POSSY · 02-04-2012 11:35am

Getting ****faced and watching Mania... nothing beats it! Besides being so ****faced u wake up the next morning with no memory of watching Mania so you get to relive it a second time!!!

WINNING!

2nd Row Donkey · 02-04-2012 12:04pm

Good lord, what a night.

Paying for it today but it was worth it.

Cannot remember a ting after 3pm but it was awesome up until then.
also, I lost my phone and I think i still might be drunk.

Leggo, you sir are a legend.

CMpunked · 02-04-2012 12:15pm

Excellent night. And I'm not dying. :cool:

Something special happened last night. The place coming alive at every near fall was excellent, especially when HBK

counted a 2 count which sounded like a 3.

I think the awesomeness of the crowd can be summed up in one example. "Press select!"

leggo · 02-04-2012 12:33pm

Still feel hard done by we couldn't do my Sheamus chant btw...

CMpunked · 02-04-2012 12:36pm

It probably would have only been

chanted once seeing as the match was 18 seconds! :pac:

jaykhunter · 02-04-2012 12:37pm

between that and the US army guys getting boo'ed i didn't know what to think! Sheamo getting heat too

Great stuff, had a blast; met @CM_Punked Charisteas and Denny at the show. Reading posts/tweets from last night, our own crowd reaction made the show. Mental for the closing sequences of the big match

Leggo you're a legend! Hope we can get this again either for S'Slam (card depending!) or Rumble

Angron · 02-04-2012 12:51pm

Thought it was brilliant, it was nice to meet a few of the boardsies too. The crowd in Captain's certainly made the night a lot better, probably the most fun I've had watching a PPV ever!

leggo · 02-04-2012 12:53pm

Nail on the head there, I'd happily do it again and Rumble is almost a cert in my mind but SummerSlam is really down to what WWE give us and if the interest is there. If it is, it's happening. Captain's loved it too (well except for the staff who probably had to stay til 5-6am cleaning up) so they'll go for it if I decide to.

Shadooby · 02-04-2012 1:04pm

I'm glad me and my mates got there early enough to get seats in the Live section, started getting a bit crowded in there.
I am still on a buzz, was so much fun, even with everyone singing along to the themes before Mania started

Exclamation Marc · 02-04-2012 1:07pm

Unbelievably good night! Thanks to captain a's but especially Leggo, organised a cracking night!

Beefy78 · 02-04-2012 1:10pm

I feel horrific today.

Thanks for organising an insanely good night, leggo. The banter was amazing, especially in the main event. Brilliant, brilliant night.

jaykhunter · 02-04-2012 1:43pm

Ha ha, yeah people singing along to Sexy Boy was awesome!

Beefy78 · 02-04-2012 1:45pm

My voice had almost gone by the end what with all the singing. Couldn't do any 'WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's after about 1am.

CENA SUCKS!

D.Q · 02-04-2012 1:55pm

we were by the entrance. Got a bit of slagging for my Daniel Bryan Tshirt, especially after that travesty.

What a night though. Started a load of chants, voice gone.

gerrybbadd · 02-04-2012 2:16pm

An absolutely brilliant night. Fair play to Leggo for organising this, and to everyone else involved. Captains was cool, nice food, cheap beer! I think the boardsies drank them dry almost!

The atmosphere was electric, especially for the hell in the cell match.

ironictoaster · 02-04-2012 2:17pm

How was that not done years ago is the real question! Especially with that type of turn out.

It took me 3 hours to realise I was sitting beside the great chinholio and flojo!

Beefy78 · 02-04-2012 2:35pm

Didn't get to meet anyone from here as I was with friends. I was the big guy in the middle of the place in the 'Layeth The Smacketh Down' t-shirt.

Cianan2 · 02-04-2012 2:45pm

I was the guy in the DX top, my throat is killing me today after all the singing and chanting! Looking forward to being able to do that again sometime!

I remember the girl in the punk tshirt getting kicked out, was dissapointing to see coz she had a lovely bum

I was the bloke to your left in just a normal blue t-shirt... The one who kept going TWOOOOOO for everything

. The one who was borderline crying when Cody lost as well :P Good craic with Piper as well at the end of the night who I think is on here.

Brilliant stuff though, great work Leggo. Only thing that ruined the night was the Cody Rhodes loss. But I guess that's not your fault :P. Poor Captains looked like it was running out of drink

She is going to wake up and look at her camera and realise their is a photo of me, just smiling and thumbs up to the camera

. She asked me to take a photo of her and my mates so I just turned it to me :P.

She had a whopper arse alright.

Shadooby · 02-04-2012 3:53pm

I've just remembered The Cell having its own entrance music as it was being lowered Bahahaha!
Also, Taker kinda looks like an older Randy Orton lol

cian68 · 02-04-2012 3:59pm

Unreal. Pretty glad I am unemployed today though, had to have a few drinks before unleashing my t-shirt that is just one giant picture of undertaker.

Flojo · 02-04-2012 4:07pm

What an awesome night, from the bits I remember! Need to watch it again because I don't remember anything after Sheamus face planting Bryan. Fair play to you Leggo. You legend. I'm definitely going to your other PPV parties!

Sorry if I wrecked anyone's head last night. I was haaaaaammered! Those pitchers are evil!

Cheers for the compliments lads.

Found it! 2nd Row Donkey to the rescue, ledgebag! Won't be able to see the pictures until I get it off him though. Will upload a few here. Got an awesome video as well of everyone going nuts for Sheamus. What an atmosphere! Ye're all class.

did you tell me you liked my squirtile t-shirt? last night?

Professey Chin · 02-04-2012 5:27pm

That squirtle tshirt was indeed awesome

jaykhunter · 02-04-2012 5:43pm

Loved the "YES! YES! YES!" chants that permeated the entire show. Brilliant with wrestling fans, that everyone in the bar loves wrestling; unlike football where everyone's one or the other.

Who was the huge Rock mark that was standing and posing during the main event? It was hilarious :pac:

Also when the Divas match came on, holy God the place cleared out to the toilet/smoke break/bar! Still hoarse/knackered from last night.......worth it
