WrestleMania Weekend 2015 - Day 2: WWE Axxess

(Apologies for not getting the remaining days of WM weekend out sooner. We've both been engulfed in work and life and attending this stuff, adding in the aforementioned, has left us a bit fatigued...more to come!)

Friday was a little different.

We left work and came rushing over, only to find that the gates hadn't opened yet...and there was a line, about a mile long, to get in, with that classic "zig-zag" format you see in a line at Disneyland.



Luckily, we got in fairly quickly...and immediately got in the first signing line we saw.

It was rumored that Dolph Ziggler was signing at the station we stopped at. There was another rumor going around that Paige was supposed to be here again tonight and that she'd be at the station next door...Danielle really wanted to get her Paige T-shirt signed.

We waited for a few minutes to see who would end up where. When the first Superstars appeared, the crowd cheered...and they were headed for a booth across from us. It was Erick Rowan and Sin Cara.
 
 

Ok...we got Sin Cara yesterday. Rowan isn't totally somebody we want to meet...we decided to stay in our line. Then, more cheers next to us -- and out came Natalya. I was a bit bummed. Then her Dad, Jim, showed up. Man...


I asked Danielle if she wanted to move. She said, "No. Let's see who we get."

Suddenly, our line began to cheer...and out popped...


Dolph Ziggler.

Let me tell you something about Ziggler. The dude was performing for the entire line. Just like Paige, he played to the crowd and toed the line between cocky and incredibly charming. He gets up from his seat and says, "Sorry...I'm done. I have no time for ANY of you. See ya'." He was only kidding: he left to go sign for the disabled guest line. 

At one point, he came back from the empty disabled guest line, stopped to take pictures with the couple of people near the immediate area, signed their stuff real quick, then rolled his eyes at everyone else as they begged him to sign their stuff, too. With a hair flip, he went back to tend to the regular line. 

When we got there, I asked if he would sign for our mutual friend, Tania, who couldn't make it out.



I don't know if it was the volume in the place or if Friday fatigue was hitting me...I spelled her name wrong. Ziggler could have just signed her name, as was spelled to him...but he notices and says, "Wait...T, A, N, A, I?! That's 'Tawn-ay', bro! That's not how you spell that. I don't even know your friend and I know how she spells her name!"


So, we had some laughs and Ziggler says, "Let me spell it again..." So, he writes over the original spelling, then realizes that you can see a "T", followed by some scribbling. He puzzles over it and asks, "I think that looks like 'TANIA'...you think she'd be able to tell? I mean, maybe if I scribble all fancy and professional-looking, she'll think it says, 'TANIA'...right?" And we just laughed. He was just a great guy.


He shook our hands and we got our photo with him.


After this, we grabbed some quick food and drink and headed out to see what else we could see.

Turns out, some pretty good Superstars were signing that night.

Kane...who didn't look happy to be there at all. Kinda strange. Maybe he was trying to be the "Corporate" character...but I took quite a few photos from a few rounds of fans and he didn't smile once.



A strange choice to sign: The Bogeyman...



And he'd actually sign with Hornswoggle:


After that, I checked my WrestleMania App (an attendant told me it would give me signing schedules...huzzah!) and found out that JBL and Jerry Lawler were signing...so we went to take a pic with them.



Danielle and I stopped by the Elimination Chamber to take a couple pictures of Stardust and Miz-dow. One of the funniest things was watching Stardust freak out and shriek before he would hug the person getting into the ring with them.

 


We were just in time to watch a Q&A session with Howard Finkel and Booker T in the NXT ring. NXT was hosting some "house shows" all Axxess weekend, so things like this were awesome to watch.

In the Q&A, Booker praised former manager, Sherri Martel, and said that he misses her each and every day. When a fan asked if Harlem Heat would ever get back together, Booker's response was, "In this business, I always have one response: never say never."

 

We stayed around a bit to do the Gratuitous WrestleMania Sign Point...



We made one last trip to the museum as we'd heard that they had added the Andre trophy...


We visited a couple of our favorite wrestlers...

We invaded a Triple H signing and took some pics of him...


And we closed the night out by watching a really fun match between Heath Slater and Curtis Axel, in which Axel took bump after bump and sold everything Slater had -- then came back like Hulk Hogan. It was truly great, crowd-pleasing stuff that the crowd around us loved.











 


Last, but not least, caught this excellent shot of Goldust being interviewed by our local media...

Stay tuned for Part 3...

Er...that's it.

Comments

  1. Don't know if he meant the middle specifically, I would imagine he's referring to it not being a separate match. Could be totally wrong, though. If that was the question yes, it was even announced as being changed to a triple threat match by Lillian (it is still Lillian, right?). Definitely a nice change, as the "cash in right after the match" is getting so predictable.

    ReplyDelete
  2. HHH's entrance was so abysmal it was almost dream like. Things are absolutely nonsensical, and in a normal state of conscious you'd realize in ten seconds this couldn't be really happening... but you're dreaming so you don't. Are we supposed to believe Arnold is in fact a cyborg? Fuck the nWo, where was Robocop when Sting needed him?

    Cheap shot, and I'm sure I'm not the first though I haven't heard it yet, but so hard to resist...

    ReplyDelete
  3. The fact that the match was as good as it was, and was done the way it was, makes the preceding months all the more frustrating, because there was a REALLY good story leading up to this match that was buried under all the shit they did. Wouldn't have even needed any more appearances from Lesnar. Hell, Lesnar's absence would've added to it. That and the Bryan match were the only things done well, it's his interactions with literally everyone else that went wrong. Roman Reigns is a guy who came into the main roster in very late 2012 and was completely and utterly DOMINANT... as the heavy in a trio that worked impossibly well together. When the trio broke up, they were at the top of the business. Reigns has no reason to think he's anything other than hot shit. He kicks ass all the way until he gets hurt, but he comes back and wins a title shot at THE wrestling event. Wrestle Fucking Mania. A show at which he has NEVER lost. He knows Brock Lesnar is a monster, but he'll out monster the monster while others are quietly devoured. He shatters Big Show's hand (Superman punch colliding with Show's WMD punch, try to tell me that wouldn't be an amazing visual), he spears Kane in half. He has a hard fought match with another great, determined warrior in Daniel Bryan, and still comes out on top. Roman Reigns has, through genuine accomplishment, built himself up in his head as the guy who will take down Brock Lesnar.

    And then he doesn't. Because he's never encountered anyone like Brock Lesnar, because there ISN'T anyone like Brock Lesnar. He assumes because he's taken out giants like Big Show and Kane, that he can take out Brock Lesnar, another giant. But Lesnar isn't just a giant or a monster. Brock Lesnar is a walking extinction event. Reigns has not felt that kind of power, so he didn't know. And that's what did him in. Hell, he could've done a one-man double turn in the past three months. Start out as a face with the Rumble win (booked 100% differently), get cocky in the coming months, JUST enough to get booed against fan favorites like Bryan and Lesnar, and then have Lesnar beat all the cockiness out of him until the serious, ass-kicking warrior that we came to know and love was all that was left, and when THAT Roman Reigns went down fighting, he'd be a hotter face than he'd ever been.

  5. That would be insanely tricky to work right, not to mention having the benefit of hindsight, but it would be super awesome, no doubt. The only real issue would be the superman punch destroying the WMD - making that look right would be super tricky, even if it sounds simple in theory. They'd have one shot at it, and it would likely look unbelievably silly and kill suspension of disbelief. That's a minor point in the grand scheme, though. I'd definitely be down for this story, or one similar, it'd be great!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Not only that but in this one instance, waiting to fight the winner wouldn't have really given Seth an advantage as it looked certain to be Brock who beat him at the Rumble having taken far more punishment then. Sneaking in mid-match meant he became the first guy to beat a tired loser than a tired winner for the belt, which makes Rollins look even more the devious genius he is portrayed as. Well, except for that moronic storyline where he assumed he could trust Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I agree that anything other than doing the Superman/WMD collision spot on perfect would either be a comical whiff or look like a douchey fist-bump, just trying to think of different ways to make someone look badass against Big Show other than being able to pick him up. Any port in a storm, ya know?

  14. If Brock headbutting the ringpost and bleeding WASN'T an accident, then it was the best bladejob I've ever seen. Seriously, he started gushing immediately.

    ReplyDelete
  15. To quote Scott Keith after the hologram ending to Hell in a Cell 2014...

    "... the ending out of left field totally ruined all the good will that the entertaining brawl had built up. Since WWE is all about comparing themselves to other, better, pop culture, this was like if you were watching a dramatic cop movie like Heat and just as the movie is building to the climactic fight between Deniro and Pacino, suddenly the smoke monster from Lost appears and magically knocks out Pacino so that Deniro can shoot him in the head and get away."

    I understand that this wasn't anywhere to stupidness of that event but I'm suprised that more people aren't angry that an awesome world title match ended in such a screwy fashion. It's the main event of Wrestlemania for God's sake - couldn't somebody have actually won the match we've been building up to since January before the inevitable and entirely predictable cash-in?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I enjoyed this show a lot more than I thought I would. Like most, I wasn't a huge fan of the Undertaker vs. Bray match. I thought the Sting/HHH match was a lot of fun. I sort of thought Sting would win going in, but as they kept playing up the WCW vs. WWE angle, I knew there was no chance of it happening. I thought the main event was good. I had really low expectations for it, but it looked like they were just beating each other to death and the "Roman just won't quit" story line was slowly winning me over.

    ReplyDelete
  17. After Shawn came in, I was hoping the Flair would run down to help Sting and turn on him one last time for old times sake.

    ReplyDelete
  18. So Sports Center tweeted out the results of the main event last night. Is wrestling doing better in mainstream than we realize? Brock was all over ESPN the past week and now with Rousey getting involved....

  21. HOLY SHIT what a WrestleMania.


    Ladder Match was good fun. Rollins/Orton was really good with a legendary finish, I liked the hooplah with Rusev and Cena. Match was *** like Scott said. The Rock segment would have been classic on Raw but went a little long with a bit of a lame payoff.


    I probably liked Taker/Bray more than most but was disappointed in the finish. Sting/HHH was precisely 8,000 times better than it had any right to be. I was loving the whole match. Disappointed Sting lost but they gave a hell of a show.


    And the main event. Roman earned my respect in that match. ***** match and I will fight you Ron Burgundy style if you disagree. They had me rooting for Roman by the end. The finish was inventive and fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I just saw highlights of the main event on Sportscenter and it wasn't played for laughs...

  23. No I'm totally fine with the finish. I loved it.

  24. To enjoy any of that entire spectacle you pretty much had to put any sense of logic on hold (even more so than usual). I had it at -* wrestlecrap.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I honestly couldn't see it ending any other way. Reigns wins and we get a face with the belt booed out of the ring. Lesnar wins and we had a mostly one sided main event with no real drama.

  31. I actually think the over the top silliness of NWO vs DX was the right way to go. They're all old, way past their prime. It was two old gangs getting together to mix it up one last time. I'm fine with it.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Fuck him, he can't work

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think the legitimacy of ESPN has fallen to the level of WWE more than anything good WWE has done or is doing

    ReplyDelete
  34. Also the main event is an example of when blood can be highly beneficial in wrestling. Brock hitting the post and bleeding gave so much more impact to the moment where Brock was FINALLY staggered just a little bit. And Roman had managed to take a pound of flesh from the monster.

  38. Dragged in the middle, but a really enjoyable show with an all time great ending. The only thing that really pissed me off all night was the Big Show, everything else was fine. Perhaps I should have more faith in WWE pulling things off in the future!

  39. Burt! Where were you in the live thread!

    ReplyDelete
  40. They kept selling the surprising fact that Big Show had never won a battle royal, so I was fine with it (eye-rolling "Wrestlemania moment" fabricating with the trophy notwithstanding).

    ReplyDelete
  41. I hate live threads lol but I couldn't watch the show live anyways and watched the repeat showing.

  42. Just keeping it warm for Cena. He will have it back by summerslam.

  43. Yeah, this. They were booked into the ultimate corner.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The show needed more dancing negroes.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Mizdow looks like such a stupid asshole for refusing to cooperate with The Miz and than trying to fight Show anyway. Miz would be totally justified firing him.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Rename truth and Kofi to step and fetchit and you've got something. They can play the knockout game on unsuspecting white wrestlers.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Absolutely. It might have worked better if they got some WCW guys like DDP, Flair and Booker T out instead of the nWo, but I could understand them wanting to go with a DX/nWo showdown since they always paint them as the 2 biggest opposing forces in the MNW.

    ReplyDelete
  48. He totally should have ganged up on Show then turned on Miz

    ReplyDelete
  49. I know it's probably been said before, and answered. But I was always under the impression you COULDN'T cash in during a match.

    ReplyDelete
  50. If they dump Show and Mizdow refused to eliminate himself that's great.

    Miz looks like the logical good guy the way they did it.

    Still it was the preshow so whatever.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think it's just never been mentioned. I can't ever recall them saying you can't do it. I don't think I've ever heard any restrictions on it, it's just you wouldn't expect anyone to do it. Really, Seth should have waited until one man was completely out of it to cash in, it was somewhat of an unneccessary risk.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm not questioning Rollins cashing-in, although I do find it to be a fairly overused and cheap booking tool. I just think that he should have cashed on on the winner of the match rather than having the match become a triple threat.

    ReplyDelete
  53. "As long as you are an American who votes Republican..." except for the full Barack Obama quote and the FDR spot.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Aye, it doesn't count. When we rewatch all the shows nobody bothers with the preshows as well

    ReplyDelete
  55. As far as complaining, Mizdow's a stupid hill to die on.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Who is the best WCW wrestler to never wtestle in WWE?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Aye. The main show more than delivered, and not just in a better than low expectations kinda way. Big thumbs up!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Does AJ Styles count?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Tully Blanchard. Wrestled in WWF not WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Already watched that main event 3 times. So great. It was tremendous before the cash-in. Add in the cash-in and Rollins comes out looking like the weaseliest rat fuck in the world. Also has 3 instant challengers.

  66. The match told such a great story and was booked so well that I was totally rooting for Roman by the end. I stood up when he slammed Brock into the post and drew blood.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Either end game jobber or end game developmental I think

    ReplyDelete
  68. Nothing new. He looked like a stupid asshole being the only MitB holder to get pinned after cashing in.

  70. Crikey Mate Down Under AussieMarch 30, 2015 at 6:44 AM

    That's what i thought originally, but if Rollins knows he can't beat Lesnar, then his next best option is to pin Lesnar's opponent mid-match.

    ReplyDelete
  71. God dammit, where are all the backstage stories already? Did they deliberately work the Main Event stiff? When was the decision to put the title on Rollins made? Was the Rock segment overlong to ensure it got dark? Or am I looking at the wrong news sites?

  78. I thought JBL was pretty funny last night. When he yelled 'dammit they are human beings' at Orton for DDTing the two bozos that come out with Rollins and then 'you two can be witnesses when I call the police' over RR attacking Stephanie.

  79. I'm proud to have been openly cheering for him in the live thread!

  80. Late addition: Stephanie was making those same eyes at Rock and had been making them at Sting last week.

    So I'm guessing she cashed in and made that a Triple Threat.

  88. The crowd definitely needs to do the baseball "K" thing with Brock's suplexes except using Brock faces. It would have been epic seeing 16 or so of those hanging off a barricade when he pummeled Cena.

    ReplyDelete
  89. What was the final count for Roman? He had to have taken nearly 16.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Slept on it and my opinion still stands, if you didn't like this show you're nuts. If it were 3 hours we're looking at one of the best wrestling shows ever, however I have to dock a few points for an hour of fluff but still this is exactly the kind of show we've been crying for them to deliver for 8-9 months now. Great stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  93. This show was way better than I thought it would be, but maybe that's because I went in with such low expectations. However, if the main event and cash in didn't deliver, I think we'd be looking at this show a lot less positively.


    Pros:
    1) Putting the US and IC titles on two of your biggest names might finally mean they're serious about building these titles back up.
    2) The Curbstomp into the RKO was such a good finish. Orton going over didn't make sense at first, but now with Rollins as champ Orton is now one of 3 viable challengers for the title which is great.
    3) Rusev's entrance was glorious and I fully support whatever push he gets going forward.
    4) While nothing special compared to other matches, the ladder match delivered.
    5) HHH-Sting was just nostalgic overbooked fun and the finish doesn't really matter either way
    6) That main event - if the plan was to get the crowd to respect Reigns by having him take a serious beating then I'd say it worked, and they also got out of the corner they booked themselves into. Well done.


    Cons:
    1) The women's tag accomplished nothing and was still pretty lousy compared to the women's matches in NXT
    2) Undertaker looked much better and the match was fine, but what the hell do you do with Wyatt now? Might be time for him to take a few months as that character is DOA.
    3) With all the concern over head shots and safety, the ladder match would have been fine without an unprotected powerbomb onto a ladder, no matter how gimmicked the ladder was.
    4) Big Show again? Really?? What the fuck? I know it was just a jobber battle royal but why are they so concerned with booking him so strong in 2015? Also, the Miz/Sandow booking was all wrong. Miz looked like a courageous face ready to charge at Big Show but Sandow pussed out.
    5) Again, Steph is the strongest heel in the company not named Lesnar. If you can't have Ronda do an actual spot, then don't book Steph to act like such a badass. Or have an actual full timer be the one to take Steph out. At least HHH is willing to show some ass. That whole segment didn't do much for me.

    ReplyDelete
  94. You know what trick was missed? Someone didn't have a giant sign of the black guy from Wrestlemania XXX with his eyes popping out after Undertaker's loss. Would have been good to hold it up for the shock result at the end. Unless I missed it in the crowd?

    ReplyDelete
  95. Yeah but Daleks wouldn't have been able to get up the ring steps

  99. I just think it was an opportunity missed in terms of the story of the match. Reigns shows guts but ultimately gets killed by the most dominant champion ever. Reigns gets destroyed but ultimately fights back to win against the odds.

    THEN Rollins cashes in and we tune in to Raw to see what happens next.

    I suppose I don't understand this "booking themselves in to corner" line of thinking. What exactly is Reigns being protected for? This is the biggest show of the year! I think it's ok if somebody loses in the main event.

    Ultimately in sports, which pro-wrestling seeks to simulate, guys winning/losing is what matters most. This match was great because it really did feel like a big time sports match with so much on the line. I just don't think that was a good pay off for the whole attraction.

  107. Haha...I just noticed you standing next to the DB cutout and I thought Paige was standing on one of those phone books they used to get Andre to stand on so he looked that much bigger than Vince.
