    People are attempting a #bringnxttoireland hashtag on Twitter.

    I wonder if it is feasible venue wise. The 9,000 or so seater o2 Arena is likely too big and the 1,954 seat National Stadium is probably too small. The Blackpool show is a 1906 seater but the Wrestlers are in the Country already and the show is probably a favour to William Regal. It is an old venue he used to Wrestle in.

    Then you have to factor in could the market sustain a 3rd WWE show this year.


    At this moment in time the Wembley Arena, Sheffield Arena etc are being scaled down for NXT. Seating has been configured to use only half of the arena. This can easily be done for the 3Arena in Dublin. They can make seating configured to be approx 4,000. AFAIK that's what TNA did when they used it a few years back

    Judging by the various different spots in the arena I was able to buy tickets for on the SSE Arena's website, if they are scaling it for half then they're not blocking off almost any significant portion of the building on its own.

    This is the building. I settled on seats in S9 but also had seats in E2, S13, N11 and N5. So unless they're blocking off the seats closest to the ring, I don't get how that would work

    It's simple really. The curtain off half the floor and stands. From what i've read they've had to release more tickets for Wembley so it's likely they'll use the whole arena so from S7 and N7 down to the stage is curtained off. It's nothing new for arenas.

    Sorry for upsetting you Latte, I didn't realise you wanted me to go to NXT with you so badly. I saw £110 mentioned on Twitter and I wrongly assumed that was the basic rate. Oops.

    You didn't upset me at all nor do I want you to go with me to the shows. I was merely pointing out that most tickets aren't crazy expensive.

    I get the concept of curtaining off half the arena. My point is that considering the various different areas where the seats have been sold, that isn't possible. If you have a look on the secondary market, there are tickets sold all over the building. So unless they're putting a giant tarp up to cut off half the arena with fans on both sides of it, it seems like your information might be off or at the very least outdated.

    You didn't read everything I said. I also noted that they had to release more blocks to satisfy demand and it's likely the whole of the Wembley Arena is open. This was not the case when tickets first went on sale this morning.

    You understand?

    I was on looking at these tickets at 09:00 this morning. SO if they changed their mind and decided to open up different areas of the building, they did it inside five minutes.

    So if the tickets aren't crazy expensive, you could stump for a pair for us to go along? It's my birthday today. I thought you were going to surprise me with tickets.

    Thanks.

    Ok so I'm going to say something that I never thought I'd ever say.

    Eva Marie wasn't totally and completely awful this week. Still as slow as a wet day in the ring but I do see a slight improvement.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,100 ✭✭✭The Ayatolla


    I can't understand why she still can't hit the ropes though. It's mind boggling. I assume she's training non-stop given her bull**** on instagram?

    Nope she's still ****.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,952 ✭✭✭Monokne


    She is appreciably better than she was. She is by no means good but she's not particularly bad any more either. Certainly she's no worse than Carmella.

    Baron Corbin is working WWE shows this weekend for the first time. Tyler Breeze is on those shows too:

    Corbin would make a good bodyguard for Tyler

    Emma needs to be pushed for her accent alone...

    WWE talent need to realise that when you delete it's not really deleted from the Internet.

    Best of luck in her future endeavours

    Seth has pretty questionable taste in women.

    She seems like an absolute psycho.

    She's out the door. She's becoming a lightning rod for bad press.
