I pitched Vince buying out THQ and calling it WWE Games. Then he could do what he does with movies and build Video Games around WWE superstars. Homefront 2: STARING JOHN CENA sounds like a dream come true. He doesn't even need to speak a single line of dialog! Pre-Order Darksiders 3 and get the true DEAD MAN. Play as the The Undertaker as you attempt to undo the damage done to earth by the apocalypse. Upgrade to the premium edition and receive a code to download the URN OF POWER, which will aid you on your journey.
See? I could do this shit all day. THQ and WWE should give me a job.
While I hope THQ ends up surviving, EA developing a WWE game with their new UFC team would be pretty good but I dobut they'd be interested. As I understand it, some of the guys who worked on All Stars (and were working on UFC4 at THQ) ended up being hired at EA. Might finally get a fun wrestling game again.

This yeah, I've spent:
- About $143 on viewing parties for WWE and TNA PPVs
- About $50 on Smark Mark Video (Nothing but Chikara MP4 Downloads)
- About $30 on WWNLive (Evolve)
- About $16 on Rudo Reels (AAA, AJPW, WAR)
- $6 on Fire Pro Wrestling Returns
So I've spent about $245 in total on wrestling stuff this year.
As for your little inquisition: I didn't vote for Ultramantis Black last month, but I would have if I could. He's got Kamen Rider 1 colors for some of his ring gear, I can't help myself.
That was definitely one of the most bizarre meltdowns that the thread's had for a long time. So much hate, so much anger.
To give a rough estimate, I spent probably around $1200 in tickets this year, and I'd venture to guess another $200 easily in iPPVs. My hotel in Miami was $2k (stayed a week and had a friend down for a few days to help out a bit so we'll say $1500). Add another $500 for the trip to Miami and incidentals. Oh, another $200 for Wrestlereunion (roughly). We're already near so I'll say I spent near $4k on wrestling and wrestling related travel this year. And half of that was actually on wrestling.
Fuck I need a drink.

4K on wrestling? Holy shit.
You could just call it $2k on actual wrestling related items since my trip to Miami was also a trip to Miami.....but that doesn't help.
I spent $90 on WWE 13 special edition with shipping. Not sure if worth it.
Watched Wrestlemania at a theatre, ticket was $30. Worth it, I enjoyed Mania this year. Still salty about D Bry though.
I randomly found the History of the Intercontinental Title 3 Disc set for $5 this year and picked it up. Awesome matches on there. DEFINITELY worth it.
Waiting for CM Punk and the Attitude Era Blu rays to go down in price.
So about $125 total.
I need to plan a trip to NYC for Final Battle.
Real Talk: I refuse to go to NYC unless it is for a seven day vacation where money is no object.

fuckin' called it, man
No, it does not, lol, but it's your money, man. Enjoy it.
$30 on PPV's
And I went to Wrestlemania this year. Total cost including Flights, Hotel, Tickets and wrestling stuff I bought while there probably totaling somewhere around $2000.

Well I'm not rich but I'm definitely single. I do own my home and have two rent paying roommates which has opened up lots of discretionary funds although that may be coming to an end.
Like I said I turn wrestling trips into trips with friends. Also I live in Oklahoma so I have to fly to see the good stuff live. It's staggering to try to look at the amount but I've had some awesome adventures, great trips, and made some great friends along the way.

Watching the occasional NXT and Superstars here and there also gives me hope for the future. I really think most of the guys they have now can be compelling wrestlers both in and out of the ring with a lot of great ideas for their storylines, characters, and matches. The only thing that really stops all this from coming to fruition are out of touch Vince and his yes men.
I would settle for tweet, but she never responds.
If you went to WM it would be near my total.

I would like to commend the people that have paid for tickets and ippv's. I really don't think you have a right to bitch if you don't pay for the product. Wrestling is on some shaky legs and needs all the help it can get.
I hate people who openly brag about streaming shows.
I also paid $125 to be a special guest ring announcer last January at the Wreslereunion show. I announced colt cabana vs Fit Finlay. Marty Derosa talks over half my announcing so I gave him shit about it when I saw him in Chicago this July.

Not a goddamn cent.
Those days are over, thank God.

I agree with this. Ziggler finally starting to get booked seriously, D-Bryne, Claudio, numerous NXT guys, Shield, Sandow, PTP, Sin Cara has improved a ton since being with Rey, the Bear Rot Garage, plus some guys like Tyson/Gabriel that aren't really being used. Feels like the strongest roster they've had for a few years.

I really wanted to get a Luchador mask for Halloween but couldn't find one here or anywhere that was reasonably priced that shipped to Ireland. I still have my eye out though.
So far I guess I only spend 30 bucks to watch mania.

Probably just generally more interested. Next year will probably be pretty tame comparatively, the only thing I'm strongly considering is trying to do a PWG show during a SoCal trip I'm already planning.

Where does she kiss? And with which lips?
Aside from just not having the time, the main thing is you'd have to put up with allot of bad to mediocre wrestlers just to follow the greats. It just seems like to much effort to me. I'll keep on enjoying the big indie ppv's on occasion, but to really follow Indies? I don't think I ever will.

Well, plenty of mine is Mania, wwe DVDs, and ppv's.
With The Shield coming in, things seem to be on the upswing. The problem is booking and story writing. Lots of guys that I'm excited to see in the ring and making noise for years to come, including Bryan, Punk, Sin Cara, Ziggler, Barrett, Rhodes, and mmmmmaybe Tyson Kidd. Unfortunately for Tyson, he's getting a little long in the tooth to be considered an up-and-comer. He needs to "make it" in the next year or two, or he'll turn out to be another wasted talent like Lance Storm.
That's good stuff! Life's about making memories and sharing experiences.
Damn, dude. I guess Chikara was your favourite promotion this year? And did you buy other NJPW stuff outside of iPPVs?
Honestly, it's not that bad. If you -really- wanted to, you could "find" shows online, and if you decided to only follow one company, you could probably get away with only spending in the 200-dollar range to keep up with everything. For example, if you followed Dragon Gate USA and bought the DVDs once a year, you could easily get 8-10 shows for as little as 120 bucks during the black Friday season.

I took some food to a friend's Summer Slam party. So I've spent about $15 on wrestling this year.
In regard to the video games, I'd love to see EA end up with the WWE license.

There are as many "bad" wrestlers in the indies as there are in the WWE and TNA. I really don't see that much of a difference.

I should also probably mention that wrestling is one of my lesser vices also. I spend much more on booze, gambling (not anymore), women, and music.
Coincidentally I'm off to an Indy show right now, only thing I know so far are that Mike Bennett and Maria will be there. Hoping Lance Storm fights Bennett but they probably would have promoted that if it was the plan.

Not really, my roommate buys them usually and I only play a couple things like Skyrim and Borderlands.
It's funny, but in terms of personal hobbies, wrestling was easily the thing I spent the most money on. Outside of it, I've spent 100+ on videogames that I will play at some point, and the same on comics, and not much else in terms of personal stuff.
