Hey all,
I've posted a few bits & pieces about my trip to Bethlehem a few weeks ago, but I was busy with work/snowstorm/etc. & never felt like I gave the event the full service it deserved....
We had a really great time at these tapings! I had never been to the Sands Casino in Bethlehem before & was not sure what to expect - but it's a beautiful, small (intimate) venue, clean, nice, & convenient. One of my new favorite places to see a wrestling show! I was very lucky to score front row seat! Not sure how I did it, I just kept hitting "Refresh" on Ticketmaster & they popped up. I figured "Row A" had to be something good - & quickly scooped up four tickets, for my wife/son/best bud.
I've never been a big fan of sitting through people's dull home movies, so I try to make mine a little bit fun.... here's a 7 minute video I put together today with several of the highlights of our trip to Bethlehem..... there's some stuff with my family at the beginning, but stay with it - closer to the end, you get our TV close-ups, my wife flirting with Matt Hardy at the Food Court, & a cool music video I put together with some of my photos from the event!
Must warn all - there are a couple clips/photos in here from this coming Tuesday's Impact show on POP TV - a few of the items have not aired yet, so they could be considered minor "spoilers".... but nothing crazy. But stop now if you don't want to see anything from the upcoming show.
BTW: There are several shots of us making/carrying our signs in this home video! So you can forget the website that's alleging our signs were planted..... don't believe everything you read online!
We also met a few celebrity "friends" in the crowd..... 1st, WWE "Talking Head" wrestling & pop culture expert Sam Roberts!
On our way down the hall, we ran into Chef Robert Irvine (husband of Gail Kim).... I asked him for a quick photo - "Very quickly!" he said.... no problem!
A screen cap from pretty early in the 1/26 broadcast....
I felt the two shows that they taped back to back were pretty strong episodes! Here are some of my favorite photos from the event!
I believe these shots are from the upcoming 2/2 POP taping:
Overall - this was the best time I've had at any wrestling show in several years, & it really made me a fan of Impact Wrestling. Yeah, they have a little work to do.... could have been a few more "surprises" or whatever - but the shows are solid & they seem like they have some direction. I truly hope if TNA keeps pushing forward..... keeps putting on strong shows..... I really hope they can build up a fan base & become competitive again!
Late last year - I figured I'd probably never make it to a TNA show..... so glad I was wrong!
Thanks for looking!
