kiphouse funny about Roode. I had a VIP backstage ticket for a TNa show in Oshawa about 5 years ago. I spootted him in the hallway and asked for a pic. He did but seemed annoyed at me for asking. Oh well. The other guys I met like AJ and Joe were awesome. Went to Fanexpo today. The volunteers there don't know a damn thing. Not their fault completely I guess, as they only do what they're told. But wow. Lined up since 9am then went to Shatner' line. Waited for an hour. Was then Told that his flight doesn't get in until 4pm. He will sign close to 6pm. I was so annoyed that I just left. Then went to Mark Hamills line. Was told that they don't know when he's signing. Then another volunteer said unless you have a VIP ticket you can't meet him until tomorrow. All the time this took, I ended up being there until noon and couldn't go to meet Goldberg. Not a huge loss as I've met Goldberg before, but I'm pissed about wasting the rest of my day. Ended up cutting my losses and coming home to recharge. I'll head there again tomorrow and hopefully will have better luck. As much as I like fanexpo, I'm starting to have less fun each year I attend. It's become unorganized and a cash grab. Also booked the 22nd off for NXT but will go to the takeover event. I had 2nd row for the 22nd so I'm a bit annoyed but I'll use that cash and get takeover tickets instead. Don't think I'll do raw since I have to save for mania as well. That's my rant for the day guys ...  My buddy went today to Fan expo as well and said it was a bust. He had the same luck as you did. He left pissed off and very disappointed. Fan expo is the biggest cash grab ever. Good luck tomorrow. The crowds will be INSANE!! I've attended on a Saturday before and it was a  in nightmare. Won't ever go on a Saturday again. Constantly bumping into people because it was too jammed. Just an awful experience. As I said, good luck with the crowds. I think it'll be over capacity and people will be turned away. Let us know how it goes. |

We literally almost got trampled there on a Saturday once That does not surprise me at all. Saturday is the absolute worst day to go to Fan expo on. I feel sorry for those attending tomorrow. It will be JAMMED. |

One of my friends is actually a volunteer at the South Building information booth, so that made things easier if I got lost lol. It was definitely crowded too, but it was manageable. |

I hope smash or santino line up a show during survivor series weekend. That'd be awesome if someone decided to capitalize on the excitement.

I think they will, They both usually run on sunday's but if their smart they can run on friday November 18th since that's wide open. JR talked about possibly running a show during Survivor Series weekend. |

It was a great show, JR is an excellent story teller. I got a regular ticket since i wanted to save my money for ROH the next night, i ended up spending alot since i thought the NJPW guys would only be there one time, i was wrong about that lol. If he does another show here i'll get a VIP ticket since i wanna meet him. |
