Paid Members Southside crew Posted October 10, 2013 Paid Members Posted October 10, 2013 Hi guys  First of wasn't sure if this should go in events section or normal section so apoligies if I have got this wrong.  16 Carat is between 14th and 16th March next year.  Myself I have already got hotel and booked time of work as last 2 years it has clashed with my own shows, this year I made sure it didn't.  I went to WXW myself in Jan and thought it was a great experience but know from others that Carat is extra special.  Anyway feel free to discuss , might be great if we can all meet up out there  Ben
reychampion Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I went to the 16 Carat last year and plan on going this year, job situation dependent. Last year was the best wrestling weekend I've ever been to so defo want to go again

AJSTYLES Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Did 16 Carat this year. Was really good I defo recommend it! Thinking about doing it again but Ive got Mania booked so might be too big a strain on the wallet  We flew into Weeze airport. Flights were 30 quid return but the transfer from the airport is what bumps the price up.
king_dezeeuw06 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I'm planning on finally going, an insecure job over previous 3 years has stopped me, but I'm keen to try and make it over this time. Also for the CZW weekend later in the year. Â Does anyone know whats happening with the BJW WXW show next year? I heard it's only 1 night but surely they can't be spending the money to fly over all the Japanese guys for one show, it wouldn't make financial sense. If it was a weekend I'd be very tempted to try and go that too but not sure the cost if justifiable for 1 show.

lightningxlock Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I'll be heading over next year after missing it this year. I attended the 2010, 2011 and 2012 tournaments and it's without doubt the highlight of my calendar. If you're thinking about doing it, just go, you wont regret it
reychampion Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Flew from Manchester last year to Dusseldorf, nice and easy train journey from airport to Oberhausen.
Sixteen Degrees Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 As I'm missing Mania this year I plan to go to 16 Karat next year. I last went to WxW back in 08 (could have been 09).
Evolution4life Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I will be there 100%, I skipped this years after going to 2012 and 2011, worst decision I have made in some time! Already set aside spending money and pretty much ready to book a hotel, just got to hold fire due to flights as I might be relocating early next year.

Is it only 3 next year?  While you are speaking, ask about getting some BJW guys over here.  Imagine it...Sekimoto is Southside! Has a nice ring to it.
cruk Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I'm hoping to head out for this - would be my first visit to wXw. What's the ticket situation like generally?

Has a nice ring to it.  The fact that Daisuke Sekimoto has not received a UK booking in the last few years is an absolute crime. His match with El Generico and his brutal wars with Big Van Walter alone have left such an impression in my mind. The guy is a beast and a tremendous wrestler!
Random German Fan Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Regarding January the 18th, Big Japan Pro-Wrestling will have a show at 2pm and at 7pm there will be a wXw show. No more has been announced so I don't know how things will turn out. Maybe there will be Daisuke Sekimoto vs Tommy End for the wXw title in the evening? Â October weekend was 4 days this year because the 3rd was a national holiday, the reunification happened on that day in 1990. The attendance numbers were 288, 242, 291, 229 so I don't know if they want to do a repeat of the concept. I was there every day and I thought there was quite a bit of fluctuation, meaning that a lot of fans skipped one or more shows. DJ Hyde told me that they do plan do have deathmatch shows (18+) again, his goal is even to have two deathmatch shows a year. So while I don't know how things will turn out I can be optimistic about the future.
