Citi Field: Legends of Wrestling Review

WRESTLING RING

When I first heard of this event months ago, I thought it was going to be a horror show. @citifield which is The Metropolitan Hospitality twitter account was teasing that they had a “big” wrestling announcement to make. This was at the time when SummerSlam was forced to move out of the now closed Izod Center in the Meadowlands. Speculation was that maybe the “big”announcement was SS was going to be brought to Flushing. Nope. The announcement was that the Legends of Wrestling was coming to CitiField. Some fans were happy about the announcement, some not so much…

There was mentioning of who was appearing for Q and A sessions and for the panels and not any of the actual matches. I was skeptical to say the least. There wasn’t any matches talked about until I would say last week were there were hints here and there of who was working the show.

I heard from a couple of my friends that it was slow to get into the stadium yesterday(I was credentialed so I didn’t have to wait), so I can speak of the lines myself.

 

They also had a photo op ring set up near the7Line kiosk.ax/smash

Ax and Smash of Demolition

 

 

The panel of Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Tommy Dreamer, Matt Sydal, Brodus Clay AKA Tyrus was moderated by Matt Striker. Typical panel of road stories and fav matches. Before this panel there was another panel of Mets Fan, Brian Myers FKA Curt Hawkins, Amy Dumas FKA Lita, Scott Steiner, and The Nasty Boys. I was shocked how organized the Q and A’s were. I kind of expected it to be chaos, but it wasn’t. Metropolitan Hospitality had it worked out really well. Now onto the actual matches.

The preliminary matches had a lot of indie wrestlers. Some I had no idea who they even were at all. I didn’t really pay attention to these matches. The cool thing though is that they did do a video feed into the Ceaser’s Club so fans who were attending the panel’s could see what was going on in the ring.

 
Now for the Face move of the Day. Brian Myers, lifelong Mets fan, member of the7line army, was led to the ring by none other then……MRS. MET…That’s right. Mrs.Met came down to the ring with The former Curt Hawkins.

Also in action were RVD, Tommy Dreamer, The Nasty Boys, Ken Anderson, Doc Gallows, Wes Briscoe, and Scott Steiner. These are the “name” guys you would know.
Overall…Well run event, not what I had thought was going to happen with it and hopefully this is a test run for a bigger promotion to come in and run a show. If you looked at the crowd yesterday there were about 2600-3000 fans in attendance. Which isn’t bad considering TNA drew about 5000 at the MCU Park a few years ago.
Oh wait…and I can’t forget to mention one last tag team….
The FLacka Seagulls.

 METS WEAR ORANGE FOR NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY
 
 FLUSHING, N.Y., June 2, 2015 – The New York Mets today announced their participation in the first annual National Gun Violence Awareness Day by wearing orange.
 
 To show our support of the Wear Orange campaign (www.wearorange.org), two separate photos are attached that include the entire Mets team and one of the Mets staff all donning the orange shirts.
 
 “We are proud to be a part of such an important campaign that is a prevalent issue in our society today,” said Mets COO Jeff Wilpon. “We hope this increased awareness can bring about some ideas and actions to address this problem.”
 
 The Mets became the first pro sports franchise to participate and join more than 200 organizations, cultural influencers and elected officials that all are participating. The “Wear Orange” campaign was inspired by a group of Chicago teens that asked classmates to commemorate the life of their friend — 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed one week after marching in President Obama’s second inaugural parade — by wearing orange, a color that hunters use to protect themselves in the woods. What started in their high school has grown into a national movement, elevating orange as a symbol for the value of human life — and a way to visibly honor the 88 Americans lives cut short by gun violence every day, plus the countless survivors forever altered by shootings each year.
 
 Today in Chicago, the Wear Orange campaign is hosting “Party for Peace,” a community event to honor the lives of those affected by gun violence and elevate gun violence prevention efforts nationwide. Anyone who believes we can do more to save American lives from gun violence is encouraged to join the Wear Orange campaign today by wearing one piece of orange clothing, taking a photo of themselves and sharing it on social media with the hashtag #wearingorange.
 
 Further, supporters are encouraged to visit wearorange.org and use the website’s pledge tool to change their social media profile picture orange or share why they are #wearingorange on the first-ever National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
