Not sure, but I don't really rate Arkady Aura as Collisions ring announcer.

Kenny Omega in Tokyo just casually returning to the ring after over a year and showing he's the best to ever do it.

Absolutely ridiculous. Go and watch Omega vs Kidd right now.

fire up the Japanese feed!

 

[Cleavy]

Oh, you know what? I was going to re-watch it, I'm 100% going to watch it with the Japanese commentary!

you should always watch it with the Japanese commentary. I know we want English on these shows, but **** them!

 

[Cleavy]

Ugh... Dammit. You can't re-watch it while the shows up.

It's probably for the best. I need a ****ing cigarette after that match, I've got heart palpitations at how good it was.

huh!

I can rewind on the illegal stream. lol

 

[Mostyn]

Anyone got a link they can recommend to see wrestle dynasty?

Watch wrestling, youku etc

It's the most hilarious thing...

I spend over $2k to attend a show next month, and I'm apparently not allowed to criticise the complete lack of build to it, or even allusion to it, without being called out.

Meanwhile those blind supporters with salt in their vag imply they'd like a free stream, ignore the post that tells them where you can support the companies for 15 friggen dollars, and likes the post with the free stream?

What gross, hilarious, hypocrisy.

Don't ever tell me what I can and can't, or should and shouldn't criticise ever again Mostyn

Settle down, FFS.

I meant to like both posts that replied to me. I haven't watched the free stream or what you suggested. I've NEVER watched a free stream before, because the pop up ads and everything make it unwatchable (though I have torrented some wrestling in my time - so shoot me). I know others had mentioned paying for a full month on NJPW being cheaper than just getting the PPVs separately on Triller (which is what I normally do), so I was asking around to see what people did.

You can say whatever you like about the AEW Brisbane event, but people have every right to point out if they believe it's nonsense.

Stop being so self absorbed.

 

[Quivorir]

****ing hell you need to relax Nobby. The hypocrisy of the below post made me audibly laugh.

and we should accept less because you've got salt in your vag about people criticising AEW? Grow up

 

[Mostyn]

****ing hell you need to relax Nobby. The hypocrisy of the below post made me audibly laugh.

Ah, look - I didn't realise that the guy with all the t-shirts was the same guy I had disagreed with.

You're passionate, Nobby - that's good to see. I don't think the fact that Tony Khan hasn't announced matches yet or vigorously promoted a Brisbane live event to his American audiences will impact on whether it's a good event or not. They're normally pretty good at delivering on special events.

I don't really want to sign up to a new service or buy a whole PPV to see one match, though maybe I'll have to. I don't want to deal with free streams as the ads and everything are a bit too painful to deal with.

 

[Mostyn]

I'm not sure you know what hypocrisy means (based on that example anyway).

Nor "relax" for that matter, I'm very relaxed. Too relaxed in fact, I have paralysis in my leg after an injection gone wrong this morning

Well, that sucks. I hope it doesn't stay that way for long.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

I'm gutted. I'm having the worst day. I didn't realise how much I cared.

I spoke to the venue last week, and they'd given me some comfort around the accessibility of my seat, and it being a low, but still raised seat - perfect, a little elevated, but not having to climb stairs, on an aisle, so I can stretch my back after every match (cos I literally can't sit for more than 30 minutes at a time).

So I started to feel good about going, started thinking about t-shirts, started trying to reconcile the likelihood of it being a house show.

They've called me back today, and everything they told me last week is wrong. It's not accessible. Ticketek didn't mark my booking as an accessible booking. So there's nowhere to move me. Doesn't appear like I can just upgrade or downgrade. And there's no one to even yell at, cos it's not the BEC's fault, and Ticketek - who don't give a shit about their own incompetence at the best of times - wash their hands of accessible bookings where the venue handles them in house.

It's not on an aisle. It's barely elevated, because the section of grandstand they have me in has every 2nd row on the same level as the one in front of it. So I'm half as elevated as I thought, and I'm staring at the back of someone's head. And being on the first level of rows would be great if you could enter through the ground level... but that's not the door my ticket allows me to enter through, and they would have to put a special note on my ticket for me to access the ****ing seat.

They've gone away to try and find some options and come back to me tomorrow. Which was for the best, I was about to lose it. I know it's not the BEC's fault, but given the day I've had today - I'm still dragging a dead leg behind me - I was about to yell at them for their repeated attempts to suggest that the dogshit they were offering me is just as good as what I have now (positionally, not from an accessibility perspective.)

Imagine if, after everything over the last week, I end up cancelling and Kenny ends up coming. Cos at the moment they haven't got a seat they can give me that is accessible, and they haven't got a seat that I think is equivalent to what I have now/had at Suncorp/is worth $315.

I know "card (and venue in this case) is subject to change", but it shouldn't be this ****ing hard.

edit: looking at the map, and at what's still available - there's nothing on there that I would accept for what I've paid. Unless they can find me an accessible seat that's reserved/not publicly accessible, I might be out after all.

What a shit of a day! Fingers crossed tomorrow fixes both issues.

I wonder how many people that have asked for accessible seats that have been screwed over by the venue change.

I used to work at a venue, albeit a different one. I think you need to speak to the manager of whomever is in charge of ticketing services, as there will always be house seats that are held back for various reasons (staff, sponsors, media, VIP allocation and so forth). The people on the front line usually don’t have the authority to give them out this far out from an event, but they will exist.

Whatever you do - don’t yell or be aggressive at the staff as they will mark your account with a keyword and the manager will nicely tell you to GAGF even if they have a house seat for your needs. If you are nice and explain the situation, you might end up with a suite ticket that doesn’t look like it will be used.

 

[Mostyn]

Can you let us know how you go?

I work in the music industry here in Brisbane, and we have some business connections both with BEC and Ticketek - I think it's really important issues like this get solved to ensure our venues are as accessible as possible.

It sucks that you have to go through these issues.

[Ry009]

Haha that's gold.

She could pull off an Office style regular VLOG. Not surprised a lot of people in that tweet thought the same.

 

[Mostyn]

BEC are claiming that they've spoken to the promoter, and they still don't have anything to offer me.

And now I am really getting upset at BEC despite it not being originally their fault, cos I'm explaining my needs and telling them why their proposals are either unworkable or a massive downgrade, and they're just trying to insist to me that it'll be fine, it'll be better than Suncorp.

I don't need them selling me bullshit that is only going to make me get upset with them, I just need them to solve the problem.

I don't know why you have to get audibly upset and remind people of accessibility obligations before they'll do anything to help.

----

In other news, BEC says that the promoter aren't doing refunds for the change of venue.

My response? "Yeah, we'll see."

I'm not above making complaints to disability discrimination commissioners in Victoria and Queensland.

So, where did they leave it? Are they still pursuing options?

If you need to make a complaint, then go for it.

I find it pretty staggering that they haven’t been able to help you. They have plenty of seats left for sale and with rows and rows of empty seats, if accessible seating is all taken, there should be a procedure or process in place where some of the unused plastic seats are taken off sale, unscrewed and extra accessible seating created in its place.

Wait... is she going to win it and get back to the main event already?

I know I've been critical of them not announcing stuff, but Toni Storm seems like one where they should've used all the time they had.
