wXw 16 Carat Gold 2011 announced!

[lightningxlock]

It's that time again! The best tournament in Europe has just been announced for the 11th-13th March 2011. I figured i'd post this on here to give UK fans an early heads up as I imagine some UKFF'ers will or will want to go to this. I went this year and it was 3 of the best nights of wrestling i've ever seen and it looks like im going again with the missus next year. Reckon im gonna' book the flights in afew weeks in order to get the best deal.

 

Any takers?

[fye]

hmm, maybe, I havent been to wXw in 6 years and it was an experience I will never forget, maybe this is the right time to return

[lightningxlock]

Wow, what show was that at? I attended the Chikara Tag World Grand Prix and this years 16 Carat and they're some of the most awesome experiences i've had

[dazkeatz]

hmmm this sounds good were is it? do they usually bring imports?

[Philo_Vance]

Considered it this year and didn't go for various reasons.Might have to get my arse in gear and make the trip next March.

hmmm this sounds good were is it? do they usually bring imports?

 

Sorry, forgot to mention that. All 3 nights are at the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany. And yes, they do indeed have imports. It's usually a solid mix of German, English, American and Japanese guys

Can anyone give any extra info..

 

Flights..expensive?

 

Hotels etc..

 

Why it's worth going, value for money, prices?

 

This is something I would consider.

[lightningxlock]

Mate, it's TOTALLY worth considering! wXw are one of (if not the) best companies in the whole of Europe. As I said, I went this year and it was so so worth it. 3 of the best shows i've ever seen in my life and i've been to TPI, NOAH, Dragon Gate, WWE etc etc. Plus Germany is practically around the corner.

 

Flights (location depending) are very cheap if you book them a good few months in advance. Otherwise they do shoot up abit. For example, i'll be flying from Manchester to Dusselfdorf and thats looking like

[WestCoastPop619]

Wow thanks for the heads up. And as far as cost seems really reasonable. How much you looking at tickets for the 3 days?

[lightningxlock]

That's something I really cant remember. I think it was in the region of

[WestCoastPop619]

Cool. Something defiantly worth researching. Do they raw decent crowds?

[lightningxlock]

For bigger shows like 16 Carat yeh. I think Night 2 this year had 550 fans, and it's a raucous atmosphere

[reychampion]

I'd be up for it, sounds like a very good tournament to see and three nights of wrestling in a row is never a bad thing

[fye]

you will probably never experience an atmosphere like it at wrestling, I have been to Tyne/Wear derby matches and even those aren't as intense as the wXw crowds I experienced and there's less chance of getting a bottle thrown at you at wXw too!

 

I went in late 2004 and saw Stevie Douglas v Super Dragon and Iceman v GTS had an absolute bloodbath of a match (the reason I went). Saw the likes of Murat Bosporus, Emil Sitoci and Claudio Castagnoli for the first time and the card was superb from top to bottom

 

the prices for flights etc are usually cheaper than driving across the UK for a show, I would definitely recommend it and I am seriously considering heading out for this

[BitCrusherr]

Wow! This sounds really good! I'm gonna make the trip for this methinks...
