I get what you're saying. Security seems to have somethng stuck up their asses for some reason. I dont get it. I also definitely see your POV that it should be up to the wrestler. But in case of the after show photo, I understand why TNA says no autos. Yeah, it was kind of circumstantial too, im not usually like that. Like if it had been Hardy, i may have listened cuz he's not like my favorite and i could do with out an auto, but this could have been the absolutely only chance i ever had to meet Angle so i had to take a chance And like you said the tables were bad for autos, if would have been ok if it they each had their own table, but they were seated 3 at a table, and the line was rolling, didnt hardly have anytime to ask for pics. And like somebody said above me, that they got a pic with Flair and the security said, sorry it wont happen again. I mean WTF is up with that. But all the wrestlers were totally gracious and laid back, security said only TNA merch can be signed, and i had my program i just bought, but a lot of people had other stuff from WWE, and the wrestlers didnt care at all. It was during the signing at the merch booth before the show when flair was signing that i got the pic at the VIP before i didn't have a chance.I got in line and got the "ok hurry up have what you want to sign ready" and he signed it and i asked if i could get a picture with him and he didn't really say anything so i hop up on the table and took the picture,thanked him and left and as i was walking off i heard the security say to him "sorry ric it won't happen again" i understand that it takes longer to do autographs AND pics but you think at least during the VIP pre-show it wouldn't be a problem which it wasn't for any of the other wrestlers but as soon as you got to flair he was at the end and by 2-3 guards and immediately rushed out.I think it's crap and maybe they should lower the VIP tickets so it's not as rushed so there is more time instead of making it feel like it's some big inconveniece we are and we need to hurry and leave. Did you do the backstage meet and greet during intermission?

Did you do the backstage meet and greet during intermission? No i didnt do the backstage pass, $50 was a little too much for me. But yeah i was the same with Flair, those 2 security guard on the end were ridiculous. I got my program signed, had no shot at a pic, and i kind of stood off to the side because i had to wait for my cousin to get his auto. And they were like "go to your seats lets go lets go" And i was like watever im waiting on someone u know. I wasnt like in the way or anything i was just like standing back against the wall lol. Did u get a chance to meet Jarrett? After i met Angle their was still a huge line of people, i had to wait about 25 minutes to meet him, but after that i noticed Jarrett still at the table with maybe about 5 people in his line so i grabbed his too. The ref Andrew Thomas was also up at the merch booth just hanging out. By the time i met Angle the arena was almost completely empty except for Angle line. I barely met Madison during intermission, Beer Money's music hit when there was about 6 people left infront of me so i had to wait lol, if id of been further back id of went back to my seat. She said something im guessing "Thank you" but i couldnt hear anything with "YOU GOT UR MONNEYYYYY, AND YOU ALLLCOHOLLL" blaring over the speakers ha ha

Yea a guy that was in front of us in line who drove up from dallas that we talked to with while we were waiting found us before intermission and asked if we hadn't to go back with him,can't beat it for free,it was rough though maybe 5 minutes we were back there and rushed the whole time,no lines no nothin just couple wrestlers standing around with crowds of people around them,they couldn't even get the lights to come on so the only lights that were on were coming from the arena,i was able to get jarretts pic/autograph then and he signed his dvd "king of the mountain" for me

Yeah i planned on meeting Angle for $20 since i heard that they usually have the main face in the ring after the show, so i was kind of bummed about the $50 passes. My cousin really wasnt up to going $25/$25 or it may have been decent, but from your description there im glad we didnt lol. So after the show when they said you could then meet Angle for $20 without the backstage passes i was pumped. Only thing is, no one really asked me for my $20, i had to ask the guy with a TNA shirt on at the gate where i pay, and he just took it lol. Im positive he was the one that was supposed to be taking the money, but i think he thought id already handed him money or something because i think i could have snuck around him, but oh well even though IMO $20 is a rip it was still right to pay i guess. I knew wat i was getting lol I think if its going to be just a photo then it should be like $10, the price was another reason i pushed to ask Kurt for an auto, i feel with the pic and auto that it was worth it, but id of felt jipped with just a photo. Any chance your going to the live SD! next week at the Ford Center?

I went with nickcageismyhero. He didn't mention it, but we also got to meet Billy Corgan. Totally glad we didn't pay for the backstage experience. It was horrible. I would have been pissed if I had to pay for it.

Me and my friend were the 2nd people in line for both the meet and greet and the backstage thing so we had the advantage of not getting rushed by security as much as the others. lol. But they did eventually get the lights turned on.

Yeah im not a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, but during intermission i went to meet Madison Rayne and my cousin stayed in his seat, and when i got back he was like "There's Billy Corgan" I was like watever lol, and he was like "Yeah fro real people were getting pictures and stuff with him" ha ha. Pretty neat.
