My issue with the advertising is they didn’t say who would be where and with the price I could see it leading people to believe more would be happening there. From what I read when I saw the advertising I got the feeling lots of Legends would be there celebrating 25 years of RAW. I wouldn’t have thought it was basically just watching the show on a screen. If they had marketed as that, I think a lot less people would be complaining. I’m just so relieved I didn’t buy the tickets because I was fooled and really considered buying tickets. Exactly! Wwe did a beyond poor job of advertising what exactly You were walking into. My friend was busting my balls saying what kind of fan are you for missing this big deal show. I told him if I knew what exactly was goin on I would have went. I didn’t know who would be where and wasn’t shelling 800$ to see someone like let’s say Austin and the rock and then end up at the Barclays. Same can be said as I wasn’t spending to go to the barclays when who I wanted to showed up at the Manhattan. It was terrible Advertised all around Also it’s not just the cost of the ticket to consider. If I had gone I would have paid for the ticket, taken a half day off work on Monday to get there in time, taken Tuesday off work to recover from getting home late, paid for a round trip metro north ticket, paid for a subway card, paid for food, and have to deal with the cramped trains. People who drove would have had to sit in traffic and paid for parking. I went to Prichard’s show at Barclays Friday night. So worth it. For $150 I got to sit 10th row from the court for the Nets vs Heat game, meet Bruce and Conrad at half time, get a front row seat to their show after the game which in addition to Bruce and Conrad had Eric Bischoff, JBL, Sam Roberts, Shuli from the Howard Stern Show, and freakin Oscar from Men On a Mission.

While I feel bad forthose who paid on the secondary market, I can'tblame WWE on this. I don't know how it marketed this event, but I know when the Miami Heat had playoff games, during away games, you could pay to watch the game in the arena in some instances or outside. It was more for the atmosphere. I'm thinking this is what happened here. If you were paying 800 for this, that's on you.

Was curious what discussion was going on in the Joe thread and was presently surprised to see growing support for a 6" line. I haven't gotten a Joe figure in years, but I'd be all-in on a Black Series/Marvel Legends style Joe line. It's absolutely my most wanted line of figures right now. Everything I collect is at that scale, I need some Joes to pose along with everyone else! I agree, I am hoping this line doesn’t die and I feel like it’s on its last breathe. TRU doesn’t really carry them anymore and I feel like all I see news about is site specific exclusives I personally feel like the line isn’t doing much because they kinda keep putting out new versions of the same character and kinda starting and stopping lines. I think a 6 inch line would be so different that people would be invested in supporting the line. Especially if it’s in scale with Star Wars Black Series.

They should have given the fans a meet and greet after. Honestly how long would it take to get through that crowd? Especially if they had 3-4 guys there signings and you got one guy TNA used to do that after TV tapings- they still may. (Heck, TNA used to let paying attendees have some catering!) But TNA's "Axxess" events were always more fan-friendly than WWE's. It's a different beast. I went to a couple TNA shows around 2010. Both had meet and greets before the show that I believe were free. I didn’t see anyone at the show I went to at the Hammerstein because I was sick and just wanted to sit down. Cool part was we had balcony seats. We told the security person our tickets just said balcony and didn’t have seat numbers. She was like “Oh yeah. You can just sit in whatever seats you want up here.” During the show Dixie Carter walked around in the crowd saying hi and taking pictures with fans. She didn’t stop by our area but that was cool. The show I went to at the County Center had a much more organized preshow meet and greet. Pretty much the entire roster sat at tables around the place and you went through the line and everyone signed for you. If you bought one of the brown bag things you got a ticket to go on stage and have Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles sign their Jakks 2 pack. We laughed because Jeff had a huge elaborate autograph with a fat marker. AJ was like “Dammit Jeff! Leave me some room to sign! I’m smudgin everyone’s autographs and gettin marker all over my freakin hand!” As for the lack of stuff happening at the Manhattan Center. For the price people paid they should have at least had Legends come out and talk to the crowd when the cameras weren’t on. There were a lot of Legends at Barclays that did nothing but walk out and wave. Send them to MC and have them talk to the crowd about their favorite RAW memories and what it meant to be there.

I haven’t seen really any details on his release so this is just pure speculation on my part, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was ok with being released. I could see him finally giving up on dealing with the stress of the celebrity spotlight on him. I could see him leaving the business all together and trying to live a normal life, regardless of the outcome.

Cedric keeps missing his title shots. Throw a little battle royal on Sunday’s preshow instead on the match Cedric and Enzo were supposed to have. Or just replace Enzo in the match with Gulak.

I said to my friend last night that people who went to the Manhattan Center basically paid about $400 to watch TV which they could have done at home for free.

I really can't stand the Enzo Amore character and if this turns out to be true he deserves to be punished as far as the law will allow. If it turns out to be false then the woman deserves punished because while not being able to stand the TV character no one deserves to be falsely accused. Not to mention what it does to hurt the cause of women who truly have been abused and are seeking justice. If she’s lying, it just gives real abusers a chance to more easily cast doubt on the credibility of their accusers.

Looks good. I found that this figure was super easy to do a torso crack on. When I cracked mine, I dipped it in the water a few minutes and it practically popped open itself. I tend to also have that kind of luck with Bulldog torsos. What shoulders work best for RHyno?? I think most people have been using Rusev or similar size.

Wow. The moment I read that this happened in Arizona I got really worried. My best friend lives out there and she’s told me stories about comic cons and stuff she’s gone to where celebrities try to get her to go out with them. Usually now we go together because celebrities just assume we are together. They try to flirt a bit but no more than that.

What about Sid asking to restart a promo on live TV? Epic moments with Sid, interviewer(can’t remember who it was atm), camera and microphone. Don't remember exactly, but I think it was JR. When Sid said "Let's start again" I kind remember JR going "We're live pal." BTW, It would also be fun to get a "War Tony" JR figure.

Sid with a leg snapping feature would be cool. I’d also buy a Nash cosplaying as Sid figure or NWO cosplaying as the Horsemen. What about Sid asking to restart a promo on live TV?

I haven't done a torso crack in almost 5 years, I was always terrible at it, but this time around I took my time, and I think it came out pretty good. Looks so much better now. Looks good. I found that this figure was super easy to do a torso crack on. When I cracked mine, I dipped it in the water a few minutes and it practically popped open itself. I tend to also have that kind of luck with Bulldog torsos.

This was way better than I expected it to be. I thought Stephanie would make me cringe, but she was good. Triple H stole the show.
New Day was great and I thought this was an awesome opportunity for them. It gave them a great chance to really showcase their personality and charisma.

Can you PM a link PJ ? I can't seem to find anything. linkThese look amazing. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the leaked pics, but these look badass. Hope QC holds up and this isn’t a line that’s gets done away with quickly.

I kinda feel like the match may have ended sooner than it was supposed to and they just had nothing to fill those couple minutes before going off air.
I was kinda concerned Finn might have a concussion. He had a nasty mark on his head and looked really glassy eyed. But Finn kinda naturally looks like that so I don’t know.

If he still lives in Florida, a 20+ hour road trip to NY would probably be even worse for his knees. I didn’t say him, I said someone Regardless of who is driving, he would still be in the car for a really long time.

I’m sure we’ll see him get more TV time and a figure once Maria is ready to come back.
I still feel like the pregnancy and rehab stint are the luckiest things that could have happened to him. Their gimmick was dead on arrival. Now they have a clean slate to just start fresh.

I would guess the trap a lot of these people fall into is thinking “I’d rather not leave the rental here over night. I’m ok to drive anyway.” Then they probably figure they can use their celebrity status to get them out of trouble. It’s dumb no matter who you are, but it’s especially dumb when you work for WWE and have a spotlight shining on you at all times. That’s what I think also. Maybe they were on a couple hour road trip. Then Uber isn’t really a choice Ehhh. I think Uber is still a choice. Granted we don’t know all the details, but my guess is if they were hitting the road they would want to head out as soon as possible. If they were out drinking they were likely spending the night at a hotel. My guess is the bar they were at was probably right by the arena. So rather than bring the car to the hotel and get an Uber back, they just went straight to the bar. Funny story, when the Usos had their first PPV match years ago, they were driving in the lane next to us at the tolls. They were in the first EZ Pass lane and I was in the last cash lane. Tons of traffic. Jey put down the window to ask if I could let them in ahead of us because they had been trying to get into the cash lane and no one was letting them in.
