TNA No Surrender VIP Experience

looks good, but man, the other side of the impact zone looks Boring man, i couldnt take the show seriously live, id feel like im on set, which is what tna kind of is, violent soap opera,
but ive been live (first uk tour, brentwod) and was 5th from front, was tremendous, loved it, but looking at that o_0 do they really need all that production space? man, haha
and i too met the gunz, but never had breakfast with them was it fun with the gunz? i got they're autographs on a tna postcard =D

Unfortunately, I have family stuff later today so I drove home and won't be making the tappings tonight. I wish I was going though because the meet and greet with Beer Money is tonight after the tappings. Otherwise I would have been happy to take more pictures.

Excellent photo of Rayne, can't argue with an arse like that.

Thanks, haha its strange that Shelley didn't smile because he was a super nice guy. Both he and Sabin seem like pretty up-beat guys and it was a great experience meeting them. I met Sabin in 2004 in Nashville and that is how I ended up becoming a Chris Sabin super fan because he was so cool. It wasn't any different the second time around.


As much as I love being able to go to PPVs whenever I want I would rather see TNA get out of that building and go somewhere else or on the road to really get a guage on what they are doing. The regulars just cheer for everyone, boo when they are supposed to and cheer when they are supposed to and the company can't improve when that happens. Not to mention, a handful of the regulars walk around like they own the place which isn't good for anyone.

I remember when I went to Turning Point in 2009 and it was by far the best live event I have ever been to in the 40 or so wrestling shows I have attended. When I went on Sunday it felt like the company was back at the fairgrounds in Nashville all over again. The merchandise stand was a train wreck, the audience was similar to those times, and it just all felt cheap to me. Almost like TNA doesn't take themselves seriously anymore. I just felt when I went in 2009 it was a small, yet professional, company working towards something. Sunday didn't give me that feeling.

Awesome stuff. Good to hear Shelley was cool, he was cool the first time I met him but have read reports of him being a a-hole.

You'll be fine, the house shows have the best set-up.

The merch area in the Impact Zone is a disaster. They have boxes on a table filled with old shirts and people ravage through them and no one with TNA cares to straighten them back up after that happens. They don't have any of the new shirts for sale (Guns, Hardy, EV2, etc.) which struck me as really odd and unless you want a Hogan bandana or a 2009 Program then you might as well save your money.

I wanted the new Guns shirt but I just waited because I figured I would just get it at No Surrender as opposed to having them ship it to me. Now I have to order it and pay for shipping since its the only thing I want off shoptna. Which to this point I haven't done because I was annoyed. I would guess SG is right though and you should be fine for a house show where they probably push all the new stuff. They seem to have their crap together at house shows.
