Miami Meltdown - Part 1

Miami Meltdown – Part 1

Note: Apologies, for grammer and spelling mistakes, I have not had that much time to put this together. 

Howdy folks, so it’s my plan to give you a recap of what’s going down in Miami each day. However, some may be a bit delayed purely due to the fact that it’s so awesome down here, the only time I have for writing at the moment is while my brother is asleep. 

Today’s addition will cover a brief bit about arriving then talk about WWE AXXXES.

Before arriving here I had many the delusional fantasies about just seeing wrestlers everywhere, how sill was I? Well it turns out, not very, for as me and Josh sat down for dinner on Wednesday evening; somebody sat down next to us, that someone being the fortunate son, Ted DiBiase. 

However, with that brief rambling over, let’s move on to the main event (of Today) WWE AXXXES.

Actually, let’s not just yet. I just want to mention Miami South Beach. In short, it’s incredible.  The sun, the sand, the food, everything there just makes you want to stop and watch the world go by. And I hate beach Holiday’s. It’s so good that there is almost no way that I’m going to Holiday in Europe ever again.

OK, now moving on to WWE AXXXES. If you’re like me and you’re a wrestling fan, who has never really been in the place where you’re able to frequently watch wrestling live or meet wrestlers, then AXXXES will be a dream come true. To the WWE’s credit, it’s an event that they do so well. 

We arrived in the South Beach Convention Centre, tired, sore and hungry, however all those feelings immediately disappeared as soon as we stepped into the Axxess zone. We were transfixed by all the pretty colours and pictures of wrestlers. 

Forcing ourselves not to get distracted by the alley of shiny objects, we headed over to our first superstar signing, which so happened to be R Truth. After meeting the man himself (and little Jimmy of course) we then had a wander around the complex. 

And oh my, it’s outstanding. There are pictures of wrestling event ascending from the rafters, there’s a ring where you can climb a ladder and pretend to grab the money in the bank, there’s a podium where you can take a picture with the WWE Championship. You can head down the entrance ramp pretending to be your favourite wrestler. Which, sadly josh didn’t do to Eve’s music, due to time restraints.  

After exploring the vast areas and watching a great little match between Darren Ambrose and Seth Rollins, two of FCW’s biggest stars, we ventured to Undertaker’s Graveyard. Now, I’ve heard that this attraction is a bit samey year after year, but since we’d never seen it before, we loved it. What it essentially a cornered off dark area of the arena, where they have a gravestone for everybody The Undertaker has beat. Pretty cool stuff. 

But, not as cool as what was to come. Hopping in another Superstar line, we were amazed to find out, that the line belonged to none other than Captain Charisma himself, Christian. Unfortunately we had to wait over an hour to see it, but it was dead worth it. 

We finished off the evening by meeting Tony Atlas, who has rapidly became my favourite new person, after he told josh that he looked exactly like Sheamus and Howard Finkle, who was an absolute professional.

Axxess has really set up the days to come and I can’t wait for the rest of the week.

Until next time, enjoy the show.
