Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2016 They run til 10 or so I think. I didn't bother when I realised I'd be waiting in a fucking queue from 3pm or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 Glad I didn't bother - from what I'm hearing it sounds like there's a lot of people that queued for 3+ hours and still didn't get in, even some with 'priority' tickets. I get that it's a studio taping for a TV show rather than 'a wrestling event', but it sounds like a lot of hassle for a Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 The logistics sounded like a mess from the beginning so it doesn't surprise me. Had to smile at the 'I won't be watching it on TV' line though. That'll show em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 I remember saying the other day "ah, if you wear a black t-shirt I'm sure they'll let you in anyway." Some people had tickets and they wouldnt let them in. What a shit show this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Carr_92 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I remember reading there was quite a lot of people at the Robot Wars tapings earlier this year being put into a tent to watch a live feed of the taping on a flatscreen TV. And that was taped in Renfrew in Febuary. Make of that what you will. So far, off to a bit of a clusterfuck. Yes, TV tapings overallocate. But in the probably thousands is crazy. Anyone got any idea of what it's like in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 I've checked twitter and it seems the only person who has taken a picture of the tapings is the UKFF's resident good man Benno. So I'm sure he's going to spill beans when he gets back. Unless he sells out like Tatanka and praises the tapings, just because they let him see Kelly Brook's knockers in the other studio.

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 Our own PRINCE2356 made it inside too, so we might get another report there (unless he was kicked out for clapping too loud...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Carr_92 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just seen an idea of the non priority queue. Goodness me. https://twitter.com/iainmhepburn/status/793505642862485504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 I think one thing to remember is that the audience tonight, to ITV at least, is no different to a load of people going to watch The Chase. It's a TV show, not a touring wrestling promotion so I don't think they give a shit whether wrestling fans had a nightmare trying to watch this live. Their audience is the potential millions at home, not a few hundred in their tv studio. Not saying it's right, but I don't think they're going to be bothered.

WyattSheepMask Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Sounds like it's been a right clusterfuck, which I think a lot of us predicted it was going to be from the very beginning. I do look forward to hearing what Benno and PRINCE2356 made of it, but a quick browse on social media does seem like it's been a right ballache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiWri Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The queuing was a bit of a mess. They didn't seem to know where the cut off should be so hundreds of people were queuing for a long time with no hope of getting in. I just about made it in (about 5 people followed me then that was it) having queued for 3 hours or so. Â The show itself was fine, some decent matches and a few videos about the WOS days gone by. It was very stage managed though, Joel Ross (I think it was him) was the "host" and was forever asking the audience to cheer, and boo at one point, so they could edit it in later. They were giving out sweets for cheering and gave away a couple of beers, to be drunk after the show, for people really going for it cheering and chanting. He specifically asked people not to do the "one fall!" chant which was ignored for the first match but didn't happen again after he reiterated it. Â It was an experience but was more like being at X Factor or other crowd-involvement TV show than a wrestling show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
