I haven't posted on here in a long long time, but here's some info that you folks might find interesting. I don't think it's been "officially" announced yet, but TNA is coming to the Chevrolet Theatre (formerly known as The Oakdale) in Wallingford, CT on May 18. Tickets go on sale April 18 through LiveNation.com

I'll believe that when I get confirmation. That is a standard theater, w a stage. Id not figure that to be a good building for wrestling. That said, Id attend if it does come there, most likely.

Here's the official artwork. From what I'm told, the ring will actually be set up on the stage, but the stage will be extended into the seating area to allow for seating all around the ring. We'll see how that works out.

Well, before he answered, I mentioned the building. So, read the post properly first , if you may. He answered my issue, and then posted a mock up of the artwork.

No mention of the New Englanders, and just one New Yorker barely on the bill. Way to cater to your market. No wonder they draw 300 people to their house shows. Thalia Madison Nikki Roxx Homicide from LAX (counting him on the bill) Black Machismo (Elisabeth is close enough to draw) Any of those names would be better draws than Johnny Devine or Brooks (her pic would draw) or Rellik (that's Killer spelt backwards) or Creed (who?) or Morgan or Jackie.

Brooks won the first women's super 8 tournament in Danbury so people in CT knew her long before TNA

Unless I missed some obvious sarcasm, you know that cancellation was a work to get over the VKM "War", yes?

Um, go find the thread on here where everyone was crying that Vince got the show canceled.

The show cancellation was a work? Wow, could have fooled me and my friends who were tossed around CT like a Yo-yo trying to find where they were holding the show after moving to a different arena due to fire code violations...and THEN learning that it was canceled do to more fire code violations when we showed up.

TNA Took a real event and turned it into a storyline. There was no work about it. They where in CT, had former DX members on their roster and decided to go with the flow and make the best out of what they could.

Damn noobs.

A few things.

1. It always smelled to me like a woprk and a real show was never ever intended.

2. Watch who your calling a noob, I've been watching for 20 years.
