Thats you told TSC for having an opinion

Don't remember saying he can't have an opinion. I'm just telling you the reaction I've seen to it. Personally I agree with that reaction, to put it in nice, simple terms; "it looks bad."

If it was me, I'd be one of two ways after the pints... All geared up, or panned asleep 5 minutes after sitting down

Now Gerry my good man. I said I'd see. I could be fast asleep on the kitchen table at 1am with the burger going cold.

If I wake up I'll watch it live, but most likely I'll watch at 6am when my stupid brain tends to make me wake up regardless of what I was doing the night before.

Leaked video of Shinsuke Nakamura practising his entrance. I like the new theme (not as much as Subconscious) I'm wrapping this youtube video in Spoiler tags

Anyone wanna take a guess at he ticket prices for the Dublin show? Reckon it will be the same as the main shows? Not sure if I will be able to afford to go with tickets on sale next week

For Ringside, I'd imagine you'd be looking at €50 and upwards.

Yikes that is expensive, then again if ya want the good seats, best part with the cash, not entirely sure what put €50 in my head.. Come hell or high water I will get myself a ticket for this..

Blue_Dabadee

I will go considering it will be a smarky crowd with less kids in attendance than normal WWE shows.

Yeah, usually the price points are €33.50/ €59.15/ €76.00

Now, it being NXT, it'll go one of two ways. "Ok, this is a lesser known roster amoung general masses, so reduce the price" OR "Ok, this is going to draw a hardcore crowd, double the prices!"

:P

Be interesting. Think it will be down round ringside. Given that the main show is coming to Dublin in three weeks, I'd be sure they'll advertise the show there, in hopes of grabbing some casual fans and families. At the same time, usually, they announce the November tour as well round then, so those tickets could be going on sale round then too...

Where are you finding info about the June Dublin show? Ticketmaster has got squat on it.

They announced it on Takeover. 3Arena, tickets on sale April 8th (iirc). prices above are what the main roster usually charges when they visit Dublin at the 3Arena. Date was 9th June, I think.

Pentecost

Do we think they'll fill the 3Arena? NXT is still quite niche really.

Not a chance. Main roster don't fill it.

Ah, is it? I couldn't remember the exact dates. Thanks

Whats ****ing annoying is that I am off to Florida the week after and was planning to try and see them over there. Hoping that it doesn't mean there's nothing happening over there...

Odyssey/SSE in Belfast the night before, Monday 13th. Will definitely go, have never been to a WWE event in my life.

Friend to friend (we're all friends here), do you care about the lack of story and drama behind Nakamura/Zayn after watching them go at it last night?

Palo Alto

No, it was a 5 star match and the atmosphere was incredible.

Will be interesting to see how they transition him into storyline-based feuds going forward.

I'd expect him to be booked in a not dissimilar manner to Asuka. Just do matches and let his personality & charisma do the talking rather than forcing him to do bad English promos.

Did you really think that match was 5 stars, or did you mean that the atmosphere was 5 stars?

Went to a couple of the NXT shows in the UK in December. Prices are low, similar to main roster tickets, and that included the taping in London.

I'm definitely making the trip up from Limerick to see Aries and Nakamura

I rewatched the match, it was a solid 4 stars, his match v AJ at Wrestle Kingdom was 4 1/2 and Tana/Okada was the pushing 5 for me.

I'd say with the atmosphere it was a very special match for sure.

Monokne

Yeah I had it pegged at ***3/4, so 4 is about right.

Atmosphere was incredible.

Palo Alto

I'd legit go to see NXT just for American Alpha, thought of Nakamura/Bálor being there, I honestly can't get my head around it.

I've not been to a show since WCW in '93 so I'm so excited they're coming to Belfast.

Shopzone doing a third off a load of t-shirts this weekend, ordered my AA one, still pricey with shipping but pumped!

WRESTLING IS CLASS

Still need to watch Evolve shows, even on demand they've buffered like hell.

My last wrestling house show was TNA in the M.E.N Arena in Manchester 6 years ago, so definitely going to try and score a ticket for NXT.
