Wrestlemania 24 (Spoilers)

skjalg · 11-03-2008 3:56pm

We are arriving late on monday 24, does anyone know when the re-run of RAW is aired? Or is there any re-runs at all? Would like to catch the last action on raw before mania.. can probably download it on my laptop as we have internet access in our rooms as well.

Yikes, gotta see it before that! Guess I`ll have to rely on the internet connection in our room to be fast and stable then!

EdK · 14-03-2008 2:57pm

Ok it's almost tangeable now, a week till I fly out

Does anybody know if that thing where you have to declare your intention to go to America is in effect yet and if so how do you go about it?

Wooo just confirmed my VIP status for the Live Impact, get in there!!!

New to the boards, and am headed to Orlando Monday. Staying 2 weeks, one non wrestling and one wrestling. I am headed to TNA and WM 24 (Platinum package)> Staying at the Doubletree (which is where supposedly the TNA wrestlers stay).

EdK: How long did it take you to get a response for your VIP status? I sent word on the 11th (when I first read about it) and hope I am not too late.

I will be going to the 27th and 28th TNA shows...am also hoping that the 29th is early enough to go see before the HOF. Have to get my Hernandez fix

EdK · 14-03-2008 3:11pm

Well the process was started in November and was only confirmed last week

EdK · 14-03-2008 3:19pm

Well I had asked somebody high up in TNA in November, she said yeah no problem and I emailed her again recently to make sure and was confirmed 5 days later maybe

BTW, are people still on for getting a minibus after WM24 and Raw? I'm leaving on Monday morning and would love to at least have an idea of what people are doing!

krudler · 21-03-2008 9:01pm

Wrestlemania 24 available for pre-order already on silvervision.co.uk:

EdK · 21-03-2008 9:32pm

This is the last time i'll be on as I am off in the morning, hope everyone has a great WM and I might see some of you around look out for the stag haha

krudler · 21-03-2008 9:46pm

anyone know where id get a big irish flag? never dawned on me to try paddys weekend since i avoid town like the plague

killyourtv · 21-03-2008 11:47pm

haven't got a clue how i'm going to get to and from international drive to the citrus bowl. What is everyone doing?

EdK · 22-03-2008 12:38am

Alright ladies and gentlemen see you on the flip side, hope this thread has been alittle helpful to you all, thanks to all the people who shared info, there is no reason why this cant carry on as the post WM thread for pics and stuff aswell

(Arggh the travel bit sucks, but it will be worth it after that, flight at 12pm tomorrow touch down in Orlando 12am tomorrow, ouch!!!)

Enjoy Wrestlemania whether live or on tv, and stay save!

:)

wrestling.guru · 22-03-2008 3:57am

If you're looking for transportation from International Drive to the Citrus Bowl, check out this website: www.golynx.com

They have many stops along International Drive and I think they have a bus that stops at the Amway Arena (Hall of Fame), not sure whether they have one that stops at the Citrus Bowl. I'm probably going to cough up taxi fare since I have been saving by using the I-trolley and Lynx bus service everywhere since I have been in Orlando since Monday.

fatal · 22-03-2008 4:17am

safe journey to anyone heading to Orlando this week(lucky bastards!)
Enjoy the spectacle that is wrestlemania and im looking forward to hearing from you all when its finished.
O and im expecting some good pictures so put the camera's to good use folks.

airport is your best bet, or the many many carrols in town if you are not already gone!

SuperWoody101 · 22-03-2008 2:26pm

I have tickets for Wrestlemania XXIV, the HOF and Bacon, Bagels, & Biceps WWE Brunch. All tickets are Will Call and I just want to know to I pick them all up in the one place? Any help would be great. I ring ticket master about 100 times but all they do is put me on hold.

FutureGuy · 22-03-2008 5:25pm

Ticketmaster are useless. You will probably have to pick them up from the venues. Which is a pain in the arse.

wrestling.guru · 23-03-2008 2:32am

Here I am in Orlando today, outside the Doubletree hotel waiting for a shuttle when Jimmy Hart walks right on by. I ask him how he is and he stops and chats with me for about 5 mins. I tell him I am here for WM (and I am wearing a TNA shirt lol). He tells me that Thursday night he, Hillbilly Jim and Jerry Lawler will be in downtown Orlando having some sort of blockparty. He also kinda mentioned that the wrestlers will be staying at the Marriott. Not sure which one....I know Marriott Fairfield is close by to the Doubletree.....just thought I would pass it along incase anyone wants to stalk..er I mean check it out!

I forgot to try and get one last weekend, so I tried amazon.com yesterday and I am getting one sent to the hotel that I am staying in for $7.50 all in. Can't complain with that!

Brolly · 23-03-2008 3:30pm

Just got VIP tickets for TNA - can't wait. Safe journey to everyone going to Mania. I am staying at the Doubletree Universal so if anyone wants to get together and share a minibus out to Mania, just email me before I leave on Tuesday night. All my details (apart from the mobile number which has changed) can be got on:

www.letterkennyonline.com/lyithelpingothers.htm

I will be using this number in Orlando: 0862019215

FutureGuy · 23-03-2008 4:22pm

Brolly, I'm interested in shairing a minibus. I'm staying close to Universal so I'll be in touch. I'mflying in the morning so I'll be in touch.

It said 60% earlier today and then they updated the website - odds of no rain are looking better!!!:D

Brolly · 23-03-2008 11:23pm

Right - Just in case someone hasn't already got Mania tickets (I doubt it at this stage!)

I have 2 spare tickets worth $217 for the pair. My friends can't go so I'm landed with them. I'd rather see them used than not, so I'm giving them away free!

Section 234, Row GG, Seats 15-16

I'll be going to Orlando on Tuesday night, so if you want them let me know.

HorseRadish · 24-03-2008 12:53am

Enjoy it to all who's going,making me reminisce of my Mania 22 experience

Hope ye have a ball:)

I'm sure you've already left...sorry for the delay in replying. Weather has been low 70's to 80's.today they are announcing 67-68. I have been fine in my shorts, but early morning and nights do get a little chilly. I haven't worn a coat at all though and wore jeans the first day I was here and it was hot!!!

For those looking for transportation to the Citrus Bowl. golynx.com is having free buses to the Citrus Bowl from the Amway Arena. Check out their site, it's on the main page.
Hope to meet some of you over the next week. I'll be the Canadian chick with the Hernandez sign and orange fluffy hat (a la Curry man) at TNA.

Hm, doesn't look like much yet. But I have faith that the place will look AMAZING by Sunday.

HOF on Saturday and WM on Sunday; it's gonna be a fun weekend.
