Bischoff for sure. I have this entire set with the exception of Shelton and Benoit. Crazy to here that Bischoff was a shelf warmer for you guys. After I bought mine I never saw it in stores again.

Unless it's a nice looking box and I can put the figure back in it for display, they go straight in the bin.

If someone confuses your accent as Irish or "from London", please don't get offended. If they have a hard time understanding you, try speaking with a bit of an "American" accent. But don't say "Yee-haw" afterwards. Haha don't worry I'm not one of those types. Anyone who gets offended over something like that takes themselves way too seriously. I think I probably will put a slight American twang on my accent ala Drew McIntyre to make it easier for people to understand me. I speak pretty clearly anyway but I imagine it can still be challenging for people across the pond. |

Yeah I'm coming from Scotland. Thanks very much for this post! Very helpful indeed. I don't drink or smoke so that won't be an issue.  No problem. I only mentioned the smoking and drinking thing because I'm a smoker and when I went to Toronto a couple of years back the price for a pack nearly made me wanna quit entirely. And drinking was funny because I was 20 at the time so I could drink in Toronto but not in the US which was mildly amusing. But everything else on that list is key. Regarding the adapter in particular, I don't know what the flight regulations on those things are. Chances are you'll have to buy it here in the US because I imagine Heathrow would only sell adapters for Euro outlets for foreign travelers to use. So when you land, after getting your cash converted that should be the first thing you go about finding because if anywhere is gonna sell those, it'll be an international airport. I think you can buy them from stores over here so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again mate. |

I'm assuming you're coming from the UK, so I'll base what I say off that. First thing is first, as has been stated: call your bank up and make sure it can be used internationally. It's Visa you said so I can't imagine there being a hassle. And right before you leave, call them again and tell them you're coming to the states so they don't lock your card. A good four days notice should do the trick, as it did for me. Second, withdraw a nice bit of cash before you leave and keep your wallet extra safe. I say this because some places in New York will only take cash, some will only take credit. When given the option, use cash. Even if your bank allows usage out of the country, you're gonna see some ugly conversion/extra interest charges coming out of your card every time you use it. Welcome to the world of banks wanting to get rich. So use the card when you HAVE to, but take out a few hundred pounds (large notes if possible) and when you arrive at, I'm assuming JFK or LaGuardia, go to the currency counter and convert at least half of it. You'll still be losing out on some money because of the exchange rate, but I'd rather lose a fiver converting the pound to USD than losing the accrued international fees which will be much larger than a fiver when all is said and done. Next, never ever EVER go ANYWHERE without your passport. EVER. Don't even leave your hotel room to go to the ice machine down the hall without it. Not saying you're gonna get stopped at every damn corner, but when abroad it's better to be safe than sorry. Third, make sure you do your homework on who you can call in the event of an emergency. You'll be in NY/NJ, so you can probably call the United Nations building and get some suit from England's office to help if something happens like if you lose your passport, or if Brock Lesnar's pyro goes off wrong and blasts you in the face (or more realistically, since it'll be winter, if you slip and break something). Fourth, take full advantage of WiFi. Lots of places have it for free. That being said, MAKE SURE YOU BUY A PROPER ADAPTER FOR ANY ELECTRONICS YOU'RE BRINGING. We use different types of outlets in North America so if you try to charge your cell phone without a proper adapter, you're gonna burn the hotel to the ground. Along with the Wi-Fi and cell phone thing, if your bank has a mobile app, download it to keep track of your money and how much you're REALLY spending when you have to use your card, just to be safe. Fifth, if you go to a restaurant or bar, tip. I'm not sure if y'all do that over in the UK, but servers here make below minimum wage because the government says they can live off of less pay with tips. You can tip as you please, if the service sucks then leave what you feel is fair but customarily it's 15-18% of your bill as an appropriate tip. For bars, it's generally a dollar per drink, or two dollars if you only have one drink. Same with just coffee or tea if you're not staying at a place with free breakfast. Other than that, just enjoy yourself. NY is an amazing tourist trap. Do yourself a favor and eat at shady looking corner stores or food carts. You'll find that those little holes in the wall have WAY better food than any normal restaurant. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the US's heart and soul. Check out Times Square. Central Park. Egg Trump Tower for me. Also, just be aware of basic laws. If you wouldn't do it at home, don't do it here. Like, NYC really hounds people for jaywalking. Don't do it. Buy your soda in NJ or not in NYC if you can because soft drinks are taxed to hell in NYC. Not sure how old you are, but know our smoking age is 18 and drinking age is 21 if you plan on being festive, and use your passport if you do get carded for alcohol because it's easier to find the birthday for the bartender. Despite my joke earlier, actually avoid Trump Tower unless you just want a picture because that's the home of our President so getting near it for a photo op would be difficult anyways. Basically, for that last part, live by an old adage. When in Rome, do as the Roman's do. Enjoy. It's really not that bad here...most of the time. Yeah I'm coming from Scotland. Thanks very much for this post! Very helpful indeed. I don't drink or smoke so that won't be an issue. |

I don't have a huge collection of shoes or anything. But I do love a good pair of Nikes or Adidas. As a kid and growing up my shoes would only last a few months before they were wrecked. Now in my adult life I'm good at keeping them in good condition.
I currently have a pair of black & white Nike SBs, red & white vans, all black vans, white Converse, black nike SBs and a pair of grey Adidas Gazelles. I've had the red vans for over 5 years now. I always clean them as soon as they get a bit dirty because I want to keep them for as long as I possibly can.

I went with Orton. It was my first Randy Orton figure, it was good to finally get one with the short hair scan.

When earphones stop working in one ear. Or in my case, when I put them down and they seemingly deliberately try to commit suicide if there's a glass on the table by dunking themselves into the ing thing! 3 times this has happened to me now! Fast & Furious wannabes who drive overly loud, piece of sh*t cars. ing showoff losers. Shoplifters. Especially the habitual ones. Scum. Lazy people. Loud people. |

Don’t take the tour buses either & don’t buy things from the people who have tables set up with sunglasses, colognes, etc. lol chances are some people will come up to you and if they do, they’re trying to sell you their mixtape. Also if anyone gives you a super sad story about how they need money for their family or to get to their family, it’s all BS lol. The food in food carts may smell good but it’ll give you extreme diarrhea so steer clear. Advice from a New Yorker💪🏼 Yeah I'm aware of the scammers you encounter in the city haha! Handing you a CD, maybe asking your name and signing it first, and then conning you into thinking that it's now officially yours and that you owe them money. Scumbags. Luckily I'm already smart to not giving strangers money or taking anything from anyone. I don't even give the sob story brigade time to finish their monologues, I cut them off mid sentence by telling them that I don't have any change. The story usually abruptly ends at that moment. |

So I'm currently in the middle of saving as I'm going to WrestleMania next year in New York. Only trouble is, I've never been to America before and I'm a little anxious as I don't have a clue when it comes to travelling. I may end up having to go it alone as I'm not banking on my friend saving up enough in time. I'm just looking for details on everything I'll need really. - I'll be getting my new passport this month, so that's easily taken care of. - Buying my package and booking my flights should hopefully be easy enough. - One of my friends seems to think that I need a credit card to go to America, is this true? I've never had a credit card in my life, nor do I want one. My debit card is a Visa, surely I can just use that? Also, what is it exactly I would need it for? - After getting my passport, buying my package and booking my flights, is there anything else I need to do? - Can I just use my bank card in America for paying for things or will I need to get American cash beforehand? - Is there anything else I need to know? Thanks. I'm completely clueless but we all have to start somewhere! If you’re booking a hotel credit card is safer than your bank card. I know a lot of people don’t like having one but you should be able to find a company that will offer you one for 0% interest for the first 2 years so after your trip you can pay it off and get rid of it. If you do pay anything by card and they offer you to pay in £ or $, always pay dollars. For flights keep an eye out for sales, when I booked my flights I got them in a British Airways sale and the price was a lot less than what they were the previous week. Get a week rail card when you go over, let’s you go anywhere in NY and is very cheap. £30 I think but could be wrong. NY is easy to get around by train. I stayed in Brooklyn, went to Manhattan every day. Trains on 24 hours. I went to NY for Summerslam a couple of years back from Scotland so anything else you want to know just message. Much appreciated mate, thank you. |

I apologize on behalf of my country for the rude people and filthy conditions you will encounter here, especially in New York City/New Jersey. I'm sorry. This. So much this. And a word of advice- don't walk around with an "I❤NY" shirt. You will stick out like a sore thumb & are just asking to get messed with.  |

Does it have to be an actual credit card though? Can't I just use my Visa debit card? If I'm unable to do that am I screwed? Also am I able to use my debit card at ATM machines? yes you can use debit cards for hotel. as for the atm, you can use them but there will probably be a fee...Id bring some spare cash just to be on the safe side. Excellent, thank you. Yeah I think I'll do that. The card is so they can take a deposit right? How much do they typically take, about $300? |

Hotels require a credit card when checking in. That’s about it really. As for spending, I’d recommend getting a Travelex card and putting your spending money on that. You may get charged for each transaction when using your own card. Does it have to be an actual credit card though? Can't I just use my Visa debit card? If I'm unable to do that am I screwed? Also am I able to use my debit card at ATM machines? |
