DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I was supposed to go with some people to a WM party in Michigan, but in my circle of friends, only two of us are actually wrestling fans and only one of us knows the guy in Michigan. Well now Drew_K has decided he no longer wants to live in this city, thus severing the link between me and the casual fans he drags with him to the bar, so the party in Michigan is off and I will most likely have to sit alone at the local bar.

I just think the concept of watching Mania in a theater is cool... Dames It's pretty awesome. It's like going to a live event as usually everyone is making noise. The crowd is usually VERY pro-Benoit so all of his matches get insane heat. It isn't that expensive either and it's a very fun way to spend a Sunday night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I haven't been to Silver City (Famous Players) in almost 3 years, but it was pretty great in 2000. I won a WWF Attitude t-shirt and during Heat employees were running up and down the aisle taking concession orders for you. While Bob classifies it as "not expensive", the main reason I stopped going was the ticket price jumped from $15 to $20, and now it's even more. If you're going on your own, it's less than watching from home, but the second you go with a friend it's getting pricey. Consider this: It costs $150 for a group of 5 to go to see WrestleMania at the movie theatre, $115 more than it is at home. HOWEVER, if you look at it as an arena experience, it's much much less.

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Damn- I wish they did that for us. I got an Unforgiven t-shirt last September but at the last two PPVs I haven't won anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 That sounds fuckin' awesome. When i was in TO last year for Mania, I went to O'Grady's to watch Raw. Got a shit load of T-shirts and stuff you can't get anywhere. I was also exposed to the enchanting elixur of Molson EX. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MARTYEWR Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I've been to O'Grady's...cool place to watch wrestling. Hey Bob or anyone else currently in Canada...how is Famous Players? I just think the concept of watching Mania in a theater is cool... Dames O'Grady's is a cool place in general. I've only been to Silvercity for one show: Summerslam 2002. The crowd in the theatre was EXTREMELY hot for the whole show. Wouldn't go there all the time due to the cost, but it was fun. Everyone marked out for Shawn Michaels' kip-up spot against HHH, and EVERYONE booed the Rock out of the theatre. If he was ever there, of course. Very enjoyable, if you can afford it.

The Dames 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Well, considering I don't pay for PPV's, even going to a bar is more expensive. But, if I were to ever go anywhere, I'd like to go to some theater like Famous Players. O'Gradys was cool and so was chillin with Dan Lovranski...although the guy is NOT someone you want to look at all the time. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I like that they dont mind you cursing your head off. When HBK came back and got Jericho eliminated I let the profanity fly. I've always wanted to go to O'Gradys but I don't think I'm allowed enough. The guys on the LAW are pretty cool- I got to call in last night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Lovranski kept insisting that I looked like Tazz. Bugged the hell out of me. We exchanged emails after that, but lost contact after a few months. The food is pretty good there too. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evilhomer Report post Posted March 24, 2003 You remind me of that world renowned internet columnist - The Dames I've been to famous players once for an event and it was pretty cool to have that many people around, but last time I checked it was $35 for a ticket, too rich for my blood. O'Grady's gets a pretty good wrestling crowd, which is a nice switch from my usual bar which is filled with hoss marks. So do I go to O'grady's where I'd have better atmosphere but won't be able to drink, or go to my usual bar where I can get sloshed and walk home. Based on the lineup, I'd say the latter is the best choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted March 24, 2003 I'll just go to a Bar as usual....Maybe I might even stay home and just have some of my friends come over but then I'll wind up spending not only 40 for Mania.....Then I'll pay 25 to feed their asses... So I will just go to the bar and spend 15 bucks max on Wings and Beer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest candie45 Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Probably the sports bar as usual, but part of me wants to make my dad buy it from home. We'll see. At least at the bar I get food, and who knows, maybe Matt will be there again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Imarkout4chrisdaniels Report post Posted March 25, 2003 Yeah, I'll be there live, as well. I have always wanted to go to Wrestlemania, and I went through hell to get there this year. Ticketmaster cancelled my floor seat tickets due to a misunderstanding, and I had to buy them for a LOT more off e-Bay. That, and flying across the country put a dent in the ol' wallet.

Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted March 25, 2003 I'll be ordering it at home. I usually buy the weekly NWA PPVs, but I haven't ordered it the last couple weeks to save for Mania so the 40 bucks isn't a big deal. I don't care what anyone says, Wrestlemania still has that "big-must see" feeling, and the card itself sounds better than last year's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
