Proposed Meet-Up Time:

Saturday 6pm

Location:

Norman's Tavern (across the street from the Deauville Beach Resort where Dragon Gate USA will be held that night at 8pm)

This is the current count I have of those who may be going:

djsandman + 1
rvd2kewl
Breakyboy
Perspicacity +2
krae_man +1
ZeroRay
BillRiccio
mechashiva +1?
 
Subscribed. Not sure if I'll make the meet-up as I'm still working out with the two I'm going with which events we want to hit.

Are Axxess and Wrestlereunion worth going to at all?

The location/time is flexible, that is just the best place and time I see for us to do it and catch the most people possible.

Another potential could be somewhere after Mania on Sunday, but then the location on that would be tricky.

Are Axxess and Wrestlereunion worth going to at all?

I went to Axxess in Orlando when it was free and they had it next to the stadium before Mania, I didn't care for it then. Wrestlereunion is worth it if you're interested in the luncheon or in any of the autographs or photo-ops.
 
Do YOU want to party with Kevin Nash, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Shane Helms, The Headbangers and Robbie E?

CD5Kf.jpg

Really conflicted. On the one hand this looks bad in all the right ways, on the other hand it's happening at the same time as Lance Storm in ROH. Also, I like that "Robbie E" is a bigger draw than a former King of the Ring winner and all-around Ass man

I'll always go to wrestling over meet and greet, but this could be a good party. The club might be more full than you think though because it is an 18+ party and 18 - 21 year-olds will go to an 18+ party just because they can get in.

Edit: Actually, I may go to this depending on when the Q&A will be. It's this vs the Jake Roberts Q&A.

I would have to go to this after the DGUSA event though.

Important Event Note:

$5 Wrestling LIVE wristbands will be sold starting Friday at the Wrestlereunion Merchandise Fair.

You might want to get your wrist bands early.

Doing this over DGUSA would be a shame. Can't fault you for ROH but this party is all about dinosaurs. Go watch the future.

Dinosaurs or not, it would still be cool to meet Kevin Nash, but only after DGUSA. Nash's party goes all night long
or until his knees give out.
 
Thanks for the info guys, how was $5 last time Sandman? I like Cabana well enough, but I don't really love the idea of going just to hear commentary (do they sell booze at it? May be a dealbreaker if they don't)

Well we're Calgarians so we may have to go see Lance in ROH (even though I've already seen him wrestle a handful of times over the past year). Also, I seem to be the only one interested in DGUSA of our group.

Good point, maybe we'll hit it after ROH.

$5 Wrestling was great last year. It was Colt and the other guy doing commentary on old matches but they had several guests pop in over the night including but not limited to Chris Hero and Bryce Remsburg (sp?). I'm not sure if they'll have drinks or not at this year since it's in a hotel.

Drag them to Dragon Gate and change their minds with Low Ki vs PAC!

We have a Torontan. I fully understand the Storm appeal. I'm disappointed I won't be seeing him.

Meet up sounds good to me, I'm flexible though if other peeps can't make it. I booked my flight today. So it looks like I'll be hitting up ROH Friday, ROH/DGUSA/$5 wrestling on Saturday, and Wrestle Reunion/Mania on Sunday. Looking forward to partying and enjoying some wrassling with you dudes next month!!!

I'll definitely make the proposed meetup date/time, since I'll be going to the DGUSA show that night.

Just got my RAW ticket. I'm just waiting on the DGUSA/RoH tickets now! :S

Important Event Note:

$5 Wrestling LIVE wristbands will be sold starting Friday at the Wrestlereunion Merchandise Fair.

You might want to get your wrist bands early.

Wait, is the Merchandise Fair free, or do you need a convention ticket to get in? I'm not really planning on doing anything Wrestlereunion related outside of the DGUSA shows and $5 Wrestling.

Edit: Also, I may have one or two people with me depending on if they can get away from work in time.

Also, if someone needs a ride for a show or a meetup, let me know, and I might be able to work something out.

The merch fair is free to the public since all it will be is several merch tables set up. I plan on going and picking up my Wrestlereunion credentials, $5 Wrestling tickets and something to get signed by the Sunday VIPs.

New match updates incoming....

Added Low Ki vs Bobby Fish and CZW talent for the Dragon Gate show on Thursday.

Also added a soon to be announced Wrestlemania match.

So guys, what table should I pick? I'm VIP #5 btw.

The lunch tables for Miami have been set. We’ll contact all VIps individually so they can make their selections. VIP #1 will select first and then VIP #72 will select last (among VIps). After all VIps have chosen tables, non VIPs will choose their seating among remaining choices based upon the date they ordered tickets:

Table 1: Matt Hardy

Table 2: Mickie James

Table 3: Vader

Table 4: Paul Orndorf

Table 5: Fit Finlay

Table 6: Jake Roberts

Table 7: Shane Douglas

Table 8: Tito Santana

Table 9: Molly Holly

Table 10: Leaping Lanny Poffo

Table 11: Road Warrior Animal

Table 12: Colt Cabana and Marty Derosa

Table 13: Honky Tonk Man

Table 14: Harry Smith and Diana Hart

I'm thinking #12, #13 or #3.....leaning toward #12.

There have been changes in Dragon Gate/Dragon Gate USA which will rock the very foundation of the wrestling world!


*Masato Yoshino asked Naruki Doi to reform their legendary tag team and Doi agreed. Their first match together as a team will be on March 25th in Japan. They will announce the name of their stable then. Yoshino had already been teaming with Ricochet. However, Yoshino also asked PAC to join the group and PAC agreed, ending his rivalry with Ricochet (which ended in DGUSA last November). Doi then asked Rich Swann to join. This new, exciting stable has Yoshino, Doi, PAC, Ricochet and Swann.

*Jimmy Susumu, Ryo Saito and Genki Horiguchi are the DGUSA members who have formed the "Jimmy" group in Japan. They currently have the Open The Triangle Gate and Open The Twin Gate Titles.

*The Veteran Army, which is the first class of wrestlers in Dragon Gate, now includes CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, Dragon Kid, Gamma and Stalker Ichikawa.

*Akira Tozawa said Blood Warriors was a stupid name and has renamed the group Mad Blankey. We aren't sure what this means yet either. The stable has Tozawa, BxB Hulk and Uhaa Nation. It is unknown where Brodie Lee stands.

*YAMATO and Shingo Takagi remain isolated as a two man stable.

http://dgusa.tv/newsalerts.htm

So it looks like everything has changed....complete reboot. I like the Yoshino/Doi/PAC/Ricochet/Swann team. PAC and Ricochet on a tag team would be awesome. Where does this leave Johnny Gargano and Chuck Taylor though?

Also.....Mad Blankey? Sounds like a bad translation.
 
Blood Warriors is stupid so we're going with Mad Blankey. That's fantastic <3 Akira Tozawa

Think I'm sticking with ROH, especially now that Chikara is appearing with them

Added Johnny Gargano's title match for March 31st. He's also going to be on March 30th but I don't think they've announced his match yet.

The two CZW death matches have been announced for Thurs March 29.

*DJ Hyde vs Drake Younger
*Danny Havoc vs Lucky tHURTeen

I'm really looking forward to that first one.

It's two weeks and about ten hours till I drive down to Miami. It will also be my first road trip in my new car. I can't wait.

Get hype! Less than a week away from Thrusday night's DGUSA/CZW show! This will be a welcome fun weekend after a hellish start to my work year.

I'm not adding this to the event list since I think I'm the only one coming in on Wed, but if anyone is interested they're doing a world premier of a movie called "Girls Gone Dead" Wed Night at 9:30. The movie features Jerry Lawler among other celebrity cast members.

Tickets:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0D00486FB1CF7852?artistid=1699050&majorcatid=10005&minorcatid=59

“Girls Gone Dead” is a throwback to the 1980's sex-comedy/horror flicks. The plot centers around six beautiful high school friends who reunite for spring break during their freshman year in college - only to find a sadistic killer with a medieval war hammer has targeted them. The cast features Caley Hayes of "Sex Drive"; Penthouse Pet Ryan Keely; Al Sapienza of "The Soprano's"; Jerry Lawler ("WWE Raw"); Sal 'The Stockbroker' Governale of "The Howard Stern Show"; Beetlejuice from "The Howard Stern Show" - plus supporting roles from Shawn C. Phillips; Janessa Brazil (Penthouse Pet); B-Movie icon Joel D. Wynkoop, Ron Jeremy and more.
