Anyone still dying?

Who'd have thought beer + wrestling don't go together as well as I expected.

Starting to remember bits of stuff now after reading the last 3-4 pages. Thanks for filling in the gaps!

Who was the guy who decided to adjust the TV cables and volume.. I thought he was gonna get lynched at one stage

The chanting was awesome. Too many to mention but everyone singing 'sexy boy' stands out. And 'CJ's got a boner' deserves mentioning for originality.

Great stuff, had a blast; met @CM_Punked Charisteas and Denny at the show. Reading posts/tweets from last night, our own crowd reaction made the show.

Was the table you were sat at the official Boards table? By the time I arrived it was standing room only, my feet were killing me by the end!

Noticed about 20 MSW guys front row where the big-screen was, they must have got there dead early to secure great spots.

My voice is gone.

Charisteas, i apologise if i repeated myself alot during our conversation... I had 4 or 5 pitchers....

Great night, fantastic atmosphere, though i was on the receiving end of too many knife-edge chops+woo's.

Haha surprised you were still standing by 4am! Great to see you again though man, hope the chest isn't too red.

Charisteas

Lads I have an idea...........




Lets all go back tonight and watch Raw live


Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!

Nah there wasn't any boards table, Chris/Denny was nice enough to scoot over & chat with us during the night. CM says that those seats were taken by like 8:05pm!!

most tables were taken by 7.45pm, we got food then noticed none were free, either way I was happy with the corner I was in

Shadooby

The MSW guys just grabbed some chairs and made their way to the front with them, they werent there that early!
I got there about 7, noticed some people in there already at the Live section.
I got some food before heading over there later, got decent seats, good view of the big screen and the flat screen. I was happy, and full

duuuaaaane

Had a great night, thanks for those who put up with us while trying to get my guitar to work! Thanks to Rick for having us.

Watching HIAC in that environment made it extra special. Was really a great event!

Saw a good few people with their camera out during our performance, anybody care to upload anything they shot? Cheers

Loved the "YES! YES! YES!" chants that permeated the entire show. Brilliant with wrestling fans, that everyone in the bar loves wrestling; unlike football where everyone's one or the other.

Who was the huge Rock mark that was standing and posing during the main event? It was hilarious :pac:

Also when the Divas match came on, holy God the place cleared out to the toilet/smoke break/bar! Still hoarse/knackered from last night.......worth it

That was possibly either myself, or the two of mates by the big screen...

I was possibly the biggest CM Punk mark there though, standing on seats, not giving a flying fk! Lol.

Thank you so much for last night, will never have better memories watching a PPV.

Cianan2

Did many people take videos last night? Id love to see some stuff again, like Sheamus because that was immense fun!

G-Money

Sounds like you's all had a great night. Glad to hear it went so well.

Super-Rush

This is the only video i took last night.

Hopefully someone has something better than this.

I was the bloke to your left in just a normal blue t-shirt... The one who kept going TWOOOOOO for everything . The one who was borderline crying when Cody lost as well :P Good craic with Piper as well at the end of the night who I think is on here.

Brilliant stuff though, great work Leggo. Only thing that ruined the night was the Cody Rhodes loss. But I guess that's not your fault :P. Poor Captains looked like it was running out of drink

I certainly am Had a great laugh with ya at the end alright... TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-AAAAH. The Piper kilt went down very well in there, but as soon as I left Captains everyone looked at me as if I was a proper mental case! Was actually the most enjoyable night I've watched any wrestling, just being surrounded by people all out to enjoy the night. Would do it over again in a flash!

I was thinking that, 200 people in various wrestling related tops and attire locked decending down Grafton St. Say it was brilliant to look at

A credit to the wrestling fans as well, that with the copious amounts of alcohol drank and testosterone flowing after watching the fights all night, their wasnt an ounce of trouble that I saw. So credit to everyone the fact that everyone was chatting with everyone at some point as well shows how well everyone seemed to get on.

Thats a really fantastic point. I've never been to a football/rugby/american football match anything where everybody could and was freely talking to everybody and anybody. The sense of community was fantastic. A real credit to everyone who was there.

+1. Completely agree. Even during Cena/Rock, where opinions were split 50-50, it was all just banter and added to the night. You would have aggro in a similar situation if it was a football match. Keep in mind, too, that some had been drinking since 7pm (that's 8 hours!!) when the match started!

Mr.Nice Guy

Great work, leggo. Sounds like everybody there did Irish wrestling fans proud.

jaykhunter

Unstickying this thread. Here's hoping to another PPV meetup sooner than later!

7pm? Some of us had been drinking since midday.

Which goes some way to explaining why I still feel ill 24 hours later.

I'm pretty sure I hugged you at the end of the Rock/Cena match. I was so happy.

Might be another reason to have this real soon again after that RAW

I just came in to post this!! Forgot to ask. :cool:

Just to say, I'm not a wrestling fan, but went because my friend was going and I had a great time. So much fun and everyone was in great form. I'd definitely go again!

Jaysus. There was a bit of talent

Pics look like a laugh was had all round anyway.

Great pics!! They really capture the atmosphere of the night. Is that all of them? I remember one been taken of our table. It must not have turned out well.

Nope there's still a few more to go! :-)

connemara man

Love the pics i am jealous as at the moment glad it went well

Beefy78

It's only from seeing those photos that I've remembered that I took my baseball cap up there. I'll add that to the increasing list of things I lost in Captains on Sunday which also includes my cardigan and my dignity.

Just the 1 and it was early. This is a win :pac:

How can I see the photos without registering a facebook account?

I think this (apart from the ones from when rock was celebrating) is the best one:

irish_stevo815

Love that one myself, think she caught exactly what a near fall is like for people watching.

The Live area looks insane. I didn't feel at the time like we were missing out by not sitting in there, but the pictures make me wonder.
