That'd be a refreshing change from the status quo.

We'll see what we can do (you should join us)!

I bookmarked the page. I'm going to seriously consider it.

I am still hoping that I can get the Combo package, but with my recent money and job troubles it might be a bit tough. If I dont get the combo I am not going to worry about it, at least I can get the VIP Autograph Ticket.

It was announced today that Ring of Honor will indeed be returning to WrestleReunion 5 next January!

Just like this year at WrestleReunion 4, Ring of Honor's show will take place as the Friday night wrestling show.

The Saturday night wrestling show is still TBA (but more than likely PWG once again since PWG is local, PWG includes lots of ROH wrestlers who will already be in town anyway for the Friday night show, and PWG drew over 1,100 for this year's show at WrestleReunion!) taking place on the Saturday night.

[Vegas]

It was also announced that the Friday 10AM- Noon Q&A VIP Exclusive Session will be with Ring of Honor. I know I'll definitely want to go to that.

I'm planning on taking one of my Flex/personal days off at work for that Friday and fly in to Los Angeles and check into my room at the LAX Hilton that Thursday night.

Mr. Fuji was just announced this morning for WrestleReunion 5 where he'll be signing autographs and taking photo ops together with Mr. Saito!

Although Highspots (the main vendor for WrestleReunion) had already leaked it, it's now been officially announced- PWG will be reappearing at WrestleReunion 5 in January where they once again will be the Saturday night wrestling show!

Tickets for this PWG show go on sale October 1st and, although they're far more expensive than for your typical PWG show, I might still get first or second row. I have over a month to think about it.

As part of this upcoming PWG show, WrestleReunion will be presenting a battle royal (a California tradition) with 16 of the wrsetling guests at WrestleReunion 5.

State of the WrestlereUNION Address!

First, we want to thank everybody that purchased VIP Photo Tickets before the deadline on Sept 15th. We know that its a leap of faith to buy a ticket when not even half of the lineup has been announced, and we will not dissapoint you when we announce the second half of our lineup! The number of people that purchased VIP Photo Op Tickets were 3 more than the number we felt we could logically accomodate, so it would have been a sellout on Sept 15th or very shortly thereafter without a strict deadline.

Talent updates are at the end of this, so please continue reading..

First, keep in mind that there has to be a certain limit to autograph tickets sold to accomodate a 3 hour time block, its not an unlimited number and asking the talent to just “stay longer” doesn’t always work when you are dealing with things like airline flights and a planned schedule throughout the day. Quite honestly, ticket sales for this upcoming year is WAY AHEAD of last year’s pace and we expect to sell out of VIP Autograph Tickets well before the show date. We definitely have a cut off number in mind, and if we get close to that number, we’ll give fair warning, but if you’re certain you want to attend this year, buy early and get yourself a better VIP number. The VIP number controls EVERYTHING. We will have several things that are very limited and your VIP number will ultimately decide whether you’re in/out.

We have already had people that missed the VIP photo deadline ask if they could be squeezed onto it now. Let me repeat, VIP Photo Tickets are SOLD OUT. Our highest priority is making sure everybody that buys a ticket has a positive experience, we’re not interested in overselling tickets to the point where we cannot accomodate what we have promised.

However, just because a person missed out on VIP Photo tickets doesn’t mean you cannot have a great time. Last year, we didn’t have anything like a VIP Photo Ticket and everybody had a great time. You can still obtain and meet every one of our WRestlereunion guests by purchasing the VIP Autograph Ticket and you are allowed to take pictures the entire weekend. The VIP Photo Ticket just allowed people to take posed pictures with their own cameras of all the guests prior to the Autograph Sessions. For those of you that still want posed pictures, we’re offering them “ala carte” for most WR guests as Deluxe Photo Ops at designated time periods well before their autograph sessions.

Next thing, the tickets for the Saturday night event are going on sale Friday, October 1st to VIPs and we’ll make Saturday night event tickets available to the general public a month later. Therefore, VIPs will have a month to choose their seats before competing with any non VIP, your only competition will be with other VIPs!. Amber will individually contact VIPs and assist them in seat selection. The show will have a PWG meet/greet before the show featuring most of the talent that wouldn’t be able to be obtained under the VIP Autograph line. PWG will have at least 2 shows before Wrestlereunion so don’t expect alot of matches to be announced for it until after their last show before WM has happened.

Now, onto the fun stuff….. talent announcements. We’re likely going to have at least 10 more talent announcements between now and the end of October. We’re pushing extremely hard to get more people signed that will be appearing in the battle royal. This battle royal isn’t going to just be a throw away match, we’re treating this as its the climax of the entire weekend and will be a very memorable event.

As always, we announcing talent as soon as we can, we don’t play games and drag it out. We’ve targetting alot of people that just cannot make a commitment this far in advance which is the only reason this doesn’t get wrapped up sooner. Your voices and opinions on talent have been heard loud and clear!

I plan on taking advantage of my VIP status to buy tickets (for myself and probably cman and perhaps toasterboy too if he can stay for the show that night) to the Saturday night PWG show as soon as they're available on October 1st one month prior before they're available to anyone else.

Although we're sitting general admission for the ROH show the night before, for the PWG show I plan on sitting at least 2nd row (general admission is OK for most PWG shows in Reseda, but at the LAX Hilton you can be pretty far away from the ring with a general admission ticket and it will be cool to see those legends flying over the top ropes right in front of us in that legends battle royal as part of the PWG show.)

If you can go with us and want to sit with us for the PWG show, PM me and I'll get your ticket too (2nd row that night is $50) when they go on sale for VIPs in 2 weeks and you can just pay me back at WrestleReunion 5 in January.

this afternoon the deluxe photo ops and the video promos went on sale. They also released the schedule for all the deluxe photo ops and video promos (Vampiro is doing his deluxe photo op at 11:59 PM on Friday night after the ROH show ;D)

So far today I bought these deluxe photo ops:

Powers of Pain (inside the ring on Saturday night before the PWG show)

Traci Brooks (by the LAX Hilton pool- she will be wearing a bikini

Rowdy Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff, and Bob Orton Jr, the Wrestlemania I main event heels (inside the ring on Saturday night before the PWG show)

after I get paid on Friday, I'll pobably buy some more deluxe photo ops too such as the Hart Foundation one

but I don't think I am going to do any of the video promos this year

the choices for the video promos are Hurricane, Terry Funk, Gene Okerlund, Jimmy Hart with Jim Niedhart, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Tracy Brooks with SoCal Val.

but since the video promos cost between $40 and $70 for 30 seconds I think I would prefer to spend that money on memorabilia from the vendors there or something.

I purchased Hart Foundation (of course) and Piper's Pit. Will be doing videos. Hard to choose. Piper for sure. Okerlund is tempting and, of course, there's Jimmy. I'm spending my money on these as opposed to the wrestling shows.

that's cool,

for me I guess I am happier spending the money on the ROH and PWG shows etc

I thought it would be really cool to do a video promo with someone in LOW for an angle they are involved in with my fed, but none of the wrestlers doing the video promos are in the game so that won't work.

Toasterboy, I think I might have an extra ticket (for you it's free) to the ROH show on that Friday night if you want it .
