Wait, isn’t that a Saturday? The same day as wrestlemania night 1? I was wondering how they were going to do it this year and didn’t notice the date until Tony D’Angelo just said it.
And it’s not like some access show, it’s nxt back on the road in front of a full crowd.
Two ppv quality shows on the same day from the same company? That’ll be like a 7 hour night from just wwe

Okay I’ve been out of the loop, as I stopped watching wwe for a couple of weeks, so I did some googling and
This show is at 12 pm/9 am in the morning?
Who goes to a wrestling show that early in the day?

I can not imagine doing anything related to wrestling the day of WrestleMania, speaking as someone who has gone to two. Like, sure the days before and after I was going to shows. But the night of WrestleMania? Nah I'm only gonna sit through seven hours. You could not pay me to go to two separate venues, pay for parking twice, and go between the two with the fatigue of BOTH shows.

Full crowd? Nope. They're going to set up the arena for like 5k (rumored). NXT 2.0 can't attract 12k people lmao

Having a show a month out with no on sale date for tickets is a choice.

Someone remind me what's the point of keeping this name now that we can't have the option of Adam and the Ants William Regal anymore?

This show is absoloutley being set up for failure.
Same day as Mania Want people to get up early in the morning to get to a wrestling show before they go to a longer wrestling show later. Then there is the logistics of parking etc

Don't people go to indie shows on Wrestlemania weekend as well as the actual Mania show? I see this as WWE's "indie show" for the weekend.

In past years, some of the indie shows would take place at the same time as Stand and Deliver would be. So, people have been known to be up and about attending shows that early. Now, most of those early shows would be taking place in buildings hosting multiple shows all day long, almost up to WrestleMania bell time. But that's another discussion.

I'm in the watching NXT 2.0 for mostly the remaining B&G people and some matches here and there. Whether I feel like getting up and watching a 3-4 hour show when I have two night's of 3-4 hour shows back to back with the current product will depend on the card. The upside is the 'supercard' episodes generally have a mix of tenured and more experienced newer talents on the card, thus resulting in better episodes at least in-ring wise. I suspect S&D will be the same...or least hope so.
Whether they are able to get a large crowd...even enough to fill up rumored scaled down/tarp arena remains to be seen. If there are a lot of indy shows the same day in town, will the fans who once would have gone to a Takeover event feel like checking out the event put on by the company who changed the brand they loved or go to the shows where a lot of the released wrestlers are working that weekend?
I do feel bad for the NXT talents who have been working toward this if this turns out to be a flop. No tickets have gone on sale which makes me wonder if they announce them soon or else decide to offer comp tickets to people who bought for other events and see where it goes. The best option might have been just to do a World's Collide type event: NXT vs NXT UK. Get more experienced people on the card and perhaps draw in fans who have wanted to see Bate, Meiko, Dragunov, etc live but couldn't these past few years.

That whole weekend feels like a mess schedule wise between the HoF right after Smackdown, and just everything. I feel like I need to sit down with paper and sort out times just to make it make sense in my mind.

12pm/9am is a sucky time slot for fans in Detroit for Mania and US fans in general but for us UK fans it’s great as it works out at around 5/6pm, perfect aperitif for Night One starting around 11pm with the pre show

I'd go. Why not? I mean now way good tickets go more than $30. After I'd take a nap or chill. Get up, eat and go to Mania.
