For the past few weeks my brother and I have been debating. Looking into finances, time off work etc. But with hogan hosting, sting possibly being there and warrior going into the hof we couldn't pass it up. Just ordered our tickets for the hall of fame, axxess, wrestlecon and wrestlemania 30 in New Orleans!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man. I agree the card SO FAR isn't too strong. But the experience is awesome!! Also I don't know how many manias the dead man has left in him. Lol. Which manias did you go to? 18 obviously. What were the other two?

I've been to 3 WrestleMania's as well. 6, 18, and 23. Probably one of the few members on here that actually attended a WrestleMania when it had single digits, lol. I wasn't even 10 at that point yet when WrestleMania VI went down on April 1st, 1990. Should give you guys an idea of how old Mr. Old School really is, haha.

I watched 6 at the old Memorial Stadium here in St. John's. They had four giant screens from the floor to the ceiling in a square down at centre ice. I remember all they were selling at the merch stand were white tees with Hogan and Warrior on them.

^ detroit was a solid one.. my buddy and i got some package that WWE had that gave us train and then bus from union station to ford field and a 100 level ticket.. i remember it was like around $220.. not too bad to get train and bus ride there and back, 100 level seats, some lootbag with the program and some other stuff.. very good deal..was a crazy day weekend for me there..it was tax time so my weekend went like this.. Friday worked 8am till 8pm.. went out with co-workers for drinks.. got home around 1am... back downtown for 9am saturday for work till 5pm and home.. went out with buddies till about 2am... had to get up at 6am and get downtown to union station by 7:30am for our train at around 9am... got back to union station around 4:30-5am... and since i worked right downtown.. i basically stayed up until i started work the next day at 8am till about 8pm... so from friday at 7am till monday around 11pm, i had a total of about 10 hrs of sleep lol.... couldnt sleep on the train as they wouldnt turn off the lights!!!
as for WM6.. i really have no idea why we didnt go.. i was almost 6..brother was 11..we both hardcore into wrestling and so was mad dad.. maybe we couldnt afford it... or just didnt go.. we didnt go to ANY WWF shows at maple leaf gardens either, which i always got mad about...i guess the 80s and early 90s was hard times raising 3 kids, etc... my brother and dad went to Big Event in 1986 and thats it (conflicting stories on whether my dad took me as a 2.5 year old)...and then my first ever show was a house show in my home down in 1995 and then the 10th anniversary big event in 1996...from that show until 2011, i went to ever WWF/WWE show held in Toronto at skydome or ACC..stopped when they switched to Ricoh for the first time

^^^^ Asparagus- awesome signs. Lol. Yeetman, mr old school - I still can't understand why I didn't attend mania 6. I was also really young. About six years old but my two older brothers were in their teens so it blows my mind that at least they didn't attend. Since then I attended 18,and 29. 30 will be my third mania. 29 was by far the best wrestling experience I've had. 18 was also cool. I didn't do axxess last year but planning to attend this time. I think toronto is long overdue for another mania in my opinion but it looks like wwe is only interested in running those huge football stadiums.

I hope we get a Mattel figure of that attire! Yup it's pretty awesome. But I wouldn't rush buying it. The 1st series never sold out and are now on clearance. Also I got the difference on the 3 elites I got last week from tru because of this weeks sale. I got 17 bucks back. Ended up getting Bruno for about 6 dollars extra. Brock road still has a ridiculous amount of elite 25 figures. At least 60 to 70 figures in stock.

Hey guys.. here is a video I made of my WWF LJN Poster collection... Sorry if the quality is bad and the size. First time using my phone to make a video that i actually upload to my computer and to the internet lol. Made it and it was like 900mb.. had to compress it and then rotate it and it leaves it with all that black on each side...not sure how to fix for my next videos.. I will be doing more videos over time of my collection. Hope you all enjoy! If its sideways, click it again to open it properly!
