I don't remember Mongo being there last yr but I could be wrong. Everyone else has been there multiple times.

mongo wasn't there the last couple years I know that for sure. From what I've seen he doesn't do very many signings at all.

I'm really excited to see who we have a table set up to next year. This year was Dan Severn and he was the nicest dude ever. Made me a mark for him.

Severn is a class act. Couldn't say enough good about him.

I'm hoping to save enough to go to my first Mania this year. Will probably use the travel package since it's my first time and for the convenience. What is the cost of WrestleCon usually run? a lot. Lol It depends on how many people you wanna meet. Admission is only like $40 a day, but you pay per autograph/photo. I probably spent close to 2 grand at wrestlecon last year. a lot. Lol It depends on how many people you wanna meet. Admission is only like $40 a day, but you pay per autograph/photo. I probably spent close to 2 grand at wrestlecon last year. Yeah. From what I can remember I spent a little over 500 and only met 9 people. Maria Kanellis,Lauren Van Ness, Luger, Johnny B. Badd, Brooke Adams, Jeff Jarrett, Nash, Hall, Shockmaster. And two of those were only photos. I think I was right around $250-300, which included admission and autographs from Ryback, Wade Barrett, JJ Dillon, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Teddy Long, Drew Galloway, & Barry Windham.

Yeah, my price included admission. I did autos and photos for most. They're usually about 40-50 a combo. I vaguely remember Barbie Blank being like 80 for a combo though. Or maybe 60 or 70. But it was more than I was willing to spend. Point is, some charge a lot too.

I am having mild thoughts about going to WM this year, last time I went was 29. Are NXT stars signing stuff? During 29 all they did was wrestle during Axxess, which wasn't bad but I wanna get Ruby Riot to sign on all our wedding papers before that weekend is over so all that is set and done.

Yes NXT stars are at the Axxess signings as well. If you reach out to them on twitter, a lot of them will tell you their signing schedule. Wait until the week before or of Mania.

Are the lines gonna be 4 hours though? Or have they been in the past for NXT guys?

The promoter who brought her, Candice Michelle, Velvet Sky and Michelle McCool charged alot especially for McCool who was close to $100 for a combo.

The only NXT people i met were the Revival and they line wasn't to long but it moved kinda slow.

I know the Shield's line at 29 was so ing long they had to close it after like 20 minutes after Axxess started. Ruby, don't become Shield famous. Johnny Wrestling, don't become Shield famous. I think I'll atleast get to meet someone if I plan it correctly. We'll see.

There's going to be 1 NXT booth but sometimes NXT talent will sign somewhere else, it just depends on who's there which day.

I think what I'm going to do as of now (UNLESS RINGSIDE FINALLY REVEALS WHEN AND WHO ARE GOING TO BE AT RINGSIDEFEST 2k17 and ALEXA happens to be a guest) is just put my focus on Axxess. I'll buy VIP tix for each day, and only use the ones I absolutely need (i.e., unless Bliss is a VIP, I'll be going with the specific intent of meeting her as I took care of all my other must haves already and but for some crotchety old lady who wouldn't let me back in line after I had to relieve my bladder thus leading my to miss her). I'll then just sell the rest of the VIPs at cost.
I'm thinking of just buying some regular seats for Mania at this point unless something changes between now and when tickets go on sale.
did we establish what month we think these might go on sale?

I'd needed an autograph of his for a while and had been scouting his pricing before the HOF announcement, which was $10-15. I got it, but wasn't happy about it.

A few people wern't happy when he raised his prices.

Just putting it out there for everyone:
Friend and I agreed to do this Mania as our second mania in a row! We've agreed on the silver package but will be looking to unload HOF tickets, AXXESS tickets and the hotel. We want to be at the Wrestlecon hotel this year for health reasons (he can't stand too long and will need to rest every so often; last year's package placed us too far away to drive back and forth so it was a rough experience for him). Regardless though, hoping to see you all again and meet members who I didn't get a chance to meet last year. Going from Thursday to Monday morning.
BTW, what do people think are the odds Taker will be the HOF Headliner and if he'll be the one doing Axxess? I feel like all of the HOF headliners in the last few years save for Ultimate Warrior did axxess PVIPs (or maybe warrior did too). He's a guy I'd like to meet.
