Watched this Sunday morning at a nice leisurely, slightly hungover pace.  
Even though I don’t watch dynamite, I thoroughly enjoyed every match (missed the womens) and can’t remember feeling that way about a WWE show recently, which has felt stale for the longest time.

Definite soft spot for Page and Cassidy. 
Have tickets for double or nothing and am now excited about the show as well as a trip to Vegas! 

What other shows are folks planning on hitting up outside of WWE? 
seems like I have something scheduled from noon through to midnight every day! 
 

(assuming it isn’t cancelled...Tampa bay confirmed a case of the virus today 😔) 

The first show after mania is at full sail (but that just might be to allow visitors to attendAs it’s on Tuesday )- but after that I’ve definitely heard musings it will be in the road at least half of the time, to tie in with the National house show loop.

its been a blast going but even I am tired of driving to Orlando every week! 
that said, proper marking out for the taping at the performance center March 11. 

I was there and it did feel very subdued, sadly.

potentially only 5 or 6 more shows at full sail if they go on the road post mania. 

Second time I’ve been at a show at this venue and was disappointed with view. Don’t understand why they don’t put anything on the tron, being that it’s live on TNT.

it is an epic venue though. Outdoors but under cover. Very cool! 

2, 7, 17, 21,27 Thankyou kindly.

Super lucky that right now I’m at every nxt full sail show.

If I miss one, I catch the show during the week on tv but I doubt I would do that every week.
 

Saw a few episode highlights of raw/sd during the invasion angle, but other than that haven’t watched unless I was at the show. 

Id like to watch AEW but haven’t found a reliable viewing platform (I know I can prob pay a quid a week or something!).
Catch most ppvs, but tend to watch the older stuff on the network. 

GOBOLTS

is another code Amalie arena tweeted. I used that for mania. 

Yes. Not sure where I saw it- a friend might’ve given it to me.

No harm trying it is there! 

Yes! Tweets is code

Tickets for individual shows on sale Friday 10am est.

presale is Wednesday! 

Yes please! 

horsewomen v horsewomen fills me with dread. That, I could totally get behind.

Noticed the next NXT takeover is in Feb, which I presume means there isnt one on Wrestlemania weekend.

Imagine if they try and put NXT matches on the Mania card now they are officially a third brand.

We'll need 3 weeks to watch it.

As others have said, there will be nxt takeover Tampa Mania weekend  (they’d be mad not to, this is their home!) but I suspect they'll skip takeover the rumble weekend.

So feb will be a standalone ppv like the one in June.

We’re doing pre sale only bc were a big group and would like to all sit together. 
but the best sections don’t appear to be on sale.

I was always sold on Montez Ford (athleticism, photogenic, charisma unmatched by almost no-one else on the current roster and he’s for sharing, as Angelo Dawkins was ‘amateur wrestler 101’ before he came out of his shell and secured his roster spot as part of Street Profits) but that visual of him bonding with the baby, who reacted with a smile will make him (and the tag team, by extension) more relatable to more fans.

This. One of the things I love about SP is their fan interaction. Even at the tiniest Nxt house shows in the dodgiest parts of Florida, they are there dancing through the crowd, hugging babies and redneck grannies and taking time to do selfies. 
That and Tez is a star, obviously!

Are prices for flights likely to come down between now and WrestleMania? My girlfriend's coming with me now, but seats on my flight are double the price they were when I booked.

I take it the mrs wouldn’t be game to take a separate flight to give you more options? 

i think it’s all down to the value of the pound which may change significantLy depending on what happens over the next few weeks...(flights look super cheap to me in $)

For those interested, wrestlecon location has been confirmed- live events will be at the ritz in ybor (which is the same as the  ritz in most northern British towns), whereas the convention will be at George Steinbrenner field - a baseball stadium, right next to raymond James. They’re 5-6 miles apart, so definitely lacks convenience of ones I’ve attended in the past - though you could Uber between them cheaply enough.  Surprised they didn’t use a hotel in downtown Tampa but I’m sure there were reasons.

Have just got back from a wrestling show inside a cave in a quaint little village in the Peak District.
Aesthetically, I would say it's one of the more interesting venues a wrestling show has ever been held in....

Was that at the devils arse in castleton? Go there every year for carol concert! 

Just a hunch. I guess we’ll find out soon enough!

With SmackDown being on the Friday, something (Takeover or Hall of Fame) will be in Tampa on the Thursday, right? I'm trying to plan my trip from Orlando to Tampa and I'm not sure whether to go on the Thursday or Friday.

My hunch is that takeover will be Thursday. Folks will travel for that and the market for local nxt fans to sell out is huge. No ones arriving early for HOF.

Just got back from the show...enjoyed the first hour v much, Keith lee v dijak was heaps of fun and legs to riddle chasing the belt. Didn’t follow much of the second hour though.

was hanging out at the ale house afterwards and triple h stopped in to say hello which was a nice gesture. I believe theres footage on the network and I’ll be signing headshots for $5.

Maybe that's it. The 'best of a bad bunch' scenario.

Although I liked Matt Striker so I probably just don't have much taste in commentators.

I just discovered Matt striker (watched an old rumble last weekend)- I thought he was great! 

For a long journey I absolutely wouldn’t today. For 2 hours, calm down it will be fine! And I say that as a young lady, traveling alone cross country in multiple trips. 

And you’d more like freeze than boil - ac on those things is always insane, I’ve needed a blanket.

that said, for 10$ more Amtrak will be infinitely more pleasant.

Last time I saw Walter he was wearing a trenchcoat with Nazi overtones and looked like a badass.  Now he's wearing his tracky bums with his mates, they look like a National League coaching squad.  Awful look, just awful.

Even worse, he was wearing pumps.

Huge primary-school-PE-lesson-non-marking-soles pumps.

Where he procured them him in his size is anyone’s guess.

No flights between Orlando and Tampa I don’t think. Both stations are right downtown though in less than desirable neighborhoods. 

I would say fly into which ever city you get the cheapest flight to and then bounce between on Amtrak/greyhound. There are certainly more direct options to Orlando.
