Did anyone else go to the finals yesterday? I went and thought it was a great show. I did a write-up of it here for those interested: bit.ly/1bKAULMAlso, for those who missed the announcements they had yesterday, Beyond will be returning to Fete Music on February 16 and March 16. Also, CZW will be at Fete Music April 27. I'm hoping I can make it to all three shows  |

I really enjoyed the show. I was a bit skeptical about my ability to really get into the 60-minute Ironman match, but it flew by. I could have lived without the intermission after it, but I guess it helped to give the crowd a chance to catch their breath.
I'm glad they're coming back with a couple of shows, but I'm also hoping that they don't overdo it. People will start to feel like they can skip a show since they'll be back shortly anyway. I'm interested in the CZW show, as I've never really seen much of their stuff. Hopefully Fete catches on as a wrestling venue and we get to see an Evolve or DGUSA show there eventually.
If the pic in your avatar is actually you, I'm pretty sure I saw you in the crowd. My family and I were up in the balcony.

I was the guy with the red shirt on wearing a backpack most of the night haha. Yeah, I'm most psyched about the CZW show coming. I've never seen CZW live, but have watched a ton of the promotion so getting a chance to go to a show is a welcomed suprise. I agree with you that it would be cool also if Evolve or DGUSA could run there sometime. Beyond must be doing some good business to be playing Fete so much. Well at any rate, there will be a good three month or so break anyway. |

Alright, cool...I thought that was you, haha. Once I get that spot on the balcony, I try very hard not to move for the rest of the show. Even during intermission, I send the wife to get snacks and drinks. At Americanrana, I was down in the crowd but almost got killed by Steen and Masada. After that, it was the balcony for us. Nice view and my son can sit on the floor. Plus, at last night's show, Masada was right next to us for the first third of the show.
I am not that familiar with CZW, but I am semi-familiar with some of their talent. If tickets aren't too pricey, I'll probably go.
I've heard that attendance was 250 for Americanrana and around 200 for Point of No Return. Not sure how accurate those numbers are, but they seem decent for a room that size.

I wonder if the numbers have been going down since I thought the line seemed a lot shorter for this show than Americanrana. Then again the inside seemed as packed as ever. Yeah, I could get why you would want to be on the balcony too. Too much work to get up front (Since so many people are pushing in) in addition to standing for a five hour show! |

A report I read estimated last night's crowd to be around 300. There did seem to be a lot of people in there. I think the weather might have played a role in the shorter line. They opened doors a few minutes earlier than expected because the rain was miserable at that point. We got there around 2:30 and we were quite soaked by the time we got in.
The balcony is nice too because at some point in the evening, just about all of the guys will be up there. We got to talk to David Starr for a bit at this show and it was Steen at Point of No Return. If I wasn't as shy as I am, I probably could have gotten to talk to most of the guys. I just like to try and let them do their own thing. The guys on the other side of Masada were talking his ear off and asking him all sorts of questions. He seemed really cool about it, but I'm not that sort of guy.

well i remember for the last show they said they sold out the seating area while this show it was less than half full. real good show except for that gross guy who wrestled Corvis. I agree the Iron Man match flew by,i really enjoyed it.
I look forward to possibly Ciampa and Elgin vs. Dickinson and Jaka.
if CZW still has Gulak,AR Fox,Busick and Dunn still in when April rolls around ill probably check it out.

They announced on Facebook that the VIP seats were sold out. I know that some of the people that bought the VIP seating didn't bother taking their seats...they were around the ring the whole night. I think they buy it more for the opportunity for the meet-and-greet that happens pre-show.
Buxx Belmar has a pretty nasty gimmick, but he makes it work. I give him a lot of credit for going with that particular gimmick and REALLY going all out. I feel like he is going to be someone to watch in the future. He has impressed me each of the few times I've seen him now.

Unless any of them get signed by WWE (Biff is rumored to have a tryout) they all should be there ESPECIALLY considering Gulak is CZW champ. You'll probably have Gulak, The Beaver Boys, BLK OUT, Shane Strickland, OI4K, Busick, JT Dunn, David Starr, Nation of Intoxication, The Osirian Portal, Murderer's Row, Matt Tremont and Greg Excellent for sure with some local showcase match |

I'm not sure if Gulak will for positive be champion by the time the show rolls around in April though. Then again MASADA practically held the title forever, so I'd be willing to say Gulak will still be champ. |
