I want to see either a Yankees or Mets game while I'm there. Preferrably Yankees but if the Mets host the Cardinals that week, I'd be down for a Mets game.

As someone who has been to both stadiums (and is a biased Mets fan) Citi Field is a far nicer ballpark than New Yankee Stadium. The old Yankee stadium at least had the feeling of a place where so much history happened. New Yankee stadium is cold and lifeless. Citi Field is one of the best ballparks I've been to. Plus there is a good chance the Cards will whoop the Mets anyway.

I've only been in one MLB ballpark want to begin checking more off my bucket list. A Yankees game in NYC is on my list though like I said a Mets game would suffice too. I'd definitely take a Yankees game if it was against the Red Sox, I'd definitely take the Mets game if it was against the Cards.

In that case I can get on board with checking both out. From my experience going to both Yankee stadiums, the old one just had that historic feel like Fenway and Wrigley do. To me the new one was just blah. I'd also recommend to dress for cold weather. Early April games in New York are cold.

May check Wrigley or the White Sox park off my list when I'm in Chicago for All In.

Anyone else hoping for the more modernized grand stage and entrance ramp to be cancelled in favor of the minimal tunnel entrance walkway? Opportunity to sell more tickets and also make this a bit more intimate, while paying homage to the glory days. For those confused, I've attacked images from past major WWE events to show what I'm referring to.

I think this was mentioned on VOW was it not and it was said that when they refurbished it they changed the dynamic of the arena.

Who would be opposed to Omega vs. Okada vs. Tanahashi as the main event?

On the 15th anniversary of MSG's greatest three-way match ever, NJPW has a chance to top it, which will be an easy consensus to make for many due to HHH vs. HBK vs. Benoit being tainted for them. It almost makes me wish that Omega would've re-signed months back and held off on his coronation here.

What if they agree not to wrestle in a Hitman video game outfit?

Just now wondering what draws WWN will have, as it sensing it's the only brand that won't sell out. Should ROH look to sabotage that brand by making sure PAC, Ospreay, and Aries are on G1 Supercard?

WWN isn't a threat to ROH. They should book those guys because they're awesome, not out of a desire to hurt WWN.

Aries? I've never of any recent attempts made by WWN to book him.

Anyways, I actually think a bigger concern for WWN should be who else from the indie scene will WWE sign between now and Mania week.

You’re making my point. The options are lacking compared to the past few years. I’m predicting Aries will be targeted, so therefore book him so WWN can’t have him. This could also be a nice little middle finger for all the years of luring away WWE-aspired talents like Lee, Riddle, and Ciampa.
