No announcement yet but the attendance was much the same last year and they came back I'm under the impression they like it here

Yeah the crew seem to love visiting here. Dixie even went on her summer holiday around the country.

If he was promoting a TNA show in Ireland he'd probably try and book Croke Park

They let the only new face in Mania main events the last decade Ciano316 do a meet & greet? DAMN IT!
Was the show any good & on a level of Gracie to Mayweather how bad was that rte presenter?

Still want them to book the o2?

Was the show itself any use? Went a few years ago and it was great so am curious if they are holding up the same standard.

Nice to meet you as well man.

I think TNA would come back here and wrestle in front of 50 people, they seem to just enjoy coming here for the trip anyway. The show was great and the fans are loud and always make it seem like there's more in there than there is.. If someone has a video of when Storm got the place going you'll see what I mean.

Compared to last year as a whole it gets a 10/10 from me.

Double A vs Joe vs Sabin was match of the night for me. Joe makes everything look so realistic. How on earth did TNA drop the ball with him when he was the top guy a few years back. He should be the face of the company similar to the way Cena is with WWE.

I have to say that I love the BroMans. Zema Ion is a great character for a good mid card comedic act.

Kurt Angle looked like he was struggling big time. To me it seems he'll go back to WWE and work a Lesner type schedule and get one final big pay off.

Apparently he wouldnt pass the medical.

He has also said for a while now that he plans to retire this year.

Angle said this week he sees himself going back to the WWE because he feels he has unfinished business and would like to wrestle some of the guys he never got to wrestle.. Bryan Punk and someone else he said..

My first time going...and I loved it! It was such a good night and the meet and greet was excellent! There was a good crowd not packed by any means but definitely 3/4's full I'd say

Thats just anti TNA propaganda it will be full........you'l see.. :pac:

It was an excellent show. They've just announced next year's tour but once again haven't announced Dublin, at least not yet. Lets hope they do cause if it'll be anything like this year, I will want to go again. It was great being able to talk to them, take pictures and the fact there were big names doing so. Also great seeing Dixie continue to do it despite being a heel. Had a nice moment with her, I said ''wooo Team Dixie'' so then she said she loved me and gave me a hug

I'd say about 2,500. Nowhere near 7,000. Most of the upper tier is closed off.

But only a tiny bit of the upper tier is opened?

The upper tier holds 3000,the rest of the arena is jammers.

Ah ha,are you watching it??? if you think thats 3000 people........

Im lost for words TBH

ciano316

That picture isn't doing the attendance justice on TV it looks a lot fuller.

Whosthis

That picture isn't even from the TNA show.

Les Ferdinand

What picture?

The picture I posted isn't of the TNA show. It's to show how big the place is. The vast majority of the tier is closed for TNA tonight

You cant be sure if theres 7000 there, its too hard to tell.

Wait for the official attendance before you start gloating.

Also wait to hear how many attended for free.

A lot looks taped off man

Whosthis

Sections 221 to 238 and 324 to 335 are closed.

Earlier you said there are 3000 in that building....tops!! do you still believe that?

Id say your sickened,were you hoping the place would be dead?

Edit......oh your a wwe fan,yup your sickened.

You were wrong yesterday too, beaker when the official numbers come out tomorrow,i expect a full apology. :cool:

Whosthis

Why would I be sickened? Those sections are all closed off, as in: nobody is sitting in them. That's more than half the capacity of a 12000 seater stadium. Why would I be hoping the place was dead, I have nothing to gain or lose by TNA's success or failure. The only thing I can't wait to see is you being proved wrong with your know it all attitude.

Aside from the sections of the arena that are closed off there is also the floor space being taken by the ring area and entrance way, further reducing the available capacity. Its very easy to show what you want to be seen when using a camera.

I just changed to Challenge to comment on this debate...there are a massive amount of spots in the arena blacked out. It looks like 3,000 people would be the closest number for attendance

Ah hahaha....another wwe fan...its amazing lads i dont think you understand how big that arena is.

Yes the arena is big but more than half of it is closed off. The green and brown area is closed off and from what I've seen a good bit of the yellow isn't being used.

Hashtag_HEEL

I don't mean to be bad but why is there such a b!tc# fest/ slagging match going on in here?
I just switched over for a few minutes and that arena looks blacked out in parts. I'd say there's about 3,500 at most. Has nothing to do with being a fan of WWE or not. Just saying what it looks like. We'll all se when the attendance figures are released!

Um, you're talking to someone that has been to almost every TNA Dublin show and has an unhealthy amount of indie DVDs in his apartment, In hardly just "another WWE fan."

SimonQuinlank

I'm no good at judging the size of crowds Ted, but I'd say there's about seventeen million of them in there.
