Hi all. I was wondering if anyone here has ever attended the WrestleCon event. I am hoping to go this year and was wondering how it all works. There is an incredible line-up and I have so many people that I want to meet. Is there enough time to meet them? Are all the lines long? Is it easy to find people? Any help and information would be great.
Also, I see that some stars have pre-orders available. Should I pre-order or wait until I see them in person? Is it cheaper to pre-order?
Thank you!

This will be my fifth consecutive wrestlecon. It's a great convention. 200 guests this year and some big headliners. I'm planning on meeting 30 people so far. Lineups are short with the exception of the headliners. From my experience there are lots of walk ups or you wait a few minutes at the most. This also moves a lot faster than axxess since you are paying for each autograph. Great convention but costs do add up.

I was going to ask the same question as it's my first time going too. Great line up can't wait.

Do you advice that I pre-order tickets for meet and greets or just wait to do it all in person?

Do you advice that I pre-order tickets for meet and greets or just wait to do it all in person? Depends. For the bigger names like Egde, HBk etc I would pre order since they only sell a limited amount of tickets. But for the other guests I usually just pay cash. Remember that there are always a few guest who cancel as well and sometimes it's hard to get refunds from the vendors. I'm planning on meeting 20-30 people. I'll pay cash for all. Not going to meet Sting, Flair, or the hardeys since I've met them already.

I've gone a few times & plan to go this year. If you know for a fact you are going, presales are a good idea because some sales are capped. Edge & Christian are only selling 225 tickets & I'm sure they'll sell out.
Lines are typically pretty short & you usually get more time with the talent than you do at Axxess. Plan accordingly, because WC can get very expensive, very fast.

I am excited that Edge is going to be there but pretty disappointed that I won't get the chance to meet him. There is just too many people that are going to be there and I need to leave in time to get to Axxess.

It's not something I have ever done or plan on doing again so I don't mind splurging just this once. There are so many people I want to see. Hopefully I get the chance to meet most of them!

There are some supertickets available. That's a good way to save $$

To make things easier for myself, I created a memo document on my phone. I list every name I want to meet, the day they are appearing, & their price. Not everyone will appear both days, so that's important to check on. Then I usually check the site weekly for updates on pricing. The closer we get, the more pricing info gets released. This way, I have a very solid idea of what I'm spending, if I have to cut down, or have more money to spend.

I'm going to prioritize the names i want to meet and pre order the few people who i think will have long lines.

Go to wrestlecon, I'm still angry I didn't do it the first time I went to Mania. The headliner was Hogan and Warrior co signing, basically the same price as E and C signing.

With wwe the next two years. If I remember correctly wrestlecon contacted hulk about last year but hogan held out hoping to be with WWE. Obviously hat didn't happen. I think if wwe doesn't bring hogan back by mania then wrestlecon will attempt to bring him in. He also lives in Florida so not much travel involved.

Can someone explain one thing for me? I get why Saraya Knight has been added (in addition to being the mother of Paige, she is a wrestler), but why is John Cena Sr. there? Do people like meeting him? He wasn't--to my knowledge--a wrestler.

No disrespect to him either. I just don't get it. It's like someone non famous saying "I'm John Cena's cousin's roomate from high school. Come pay for a photo". I mean there's a more direct connection, but what's the allure?
