Guest Dickie Hyde Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Something I've been thinking about for sometime. You always here of people going off and living the dream for whatever it may be... A poker player for a year, a football player for a year etc etc, well how about, a wrestling fan for a year?! If you got to a complete point of financial satisfaction, would you ever consider going on the road with the WWE for a year... as a fan. And by that, I simply mean, going to all of the TV tapings, PPV's (with top tickets) and staying in lush hotels. Living on the road for a year... literally. And if your close to home, you can pop back now and again to pick up/sort out things. And even if you wouldn't, dont you think it's a cool idea? I was thinking about it... and was wondering your thoughts, and how expensive you think it would cost if one person was actually considering it? What a year that would be. You might think i'm crazy, but it was a thought I had and wanted to share with you all. :) Cheers, Dickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rawiswar Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I agree, it would be a hell of blast and most probably a very fun time, especially with a group of friends who are also into wrestling. It would be expensive thinking about it though but how great would that be lol! Maybe if someone here in TWO wins a major lottery jackpot then they can treat every TWO member to a full year tour with WWE :P ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ro_y Disco Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It would rule completly and utterly. Especially if you could do it with some mates. So in the world of fantasy, HELL YEAH!!! In reality though: Firstly you've got weekly TV tapings and for arguments sake lets say the old school seperate Raw and SD tapings- so thats 104 a year at a (guessed) £50 a time= 5200 House shows. Two a week? £40= £4160 PPV's 14 of those at £80 avage= 1140 (I think!) 365 days of food and bed= £40 a day on average= £14,600 a year. That comes to a total of (around) £24,920 not including travel and "luxuries". So realistically it'd probably never happen for any of us!!!

Murph 93 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Not to mention the fact you have to eat and drink... EDIT:// Oh, you got that covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dickie Hyde Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I would cut out the house shows, but £5k doesn't really make much difference in this respect! To be comfty... i think you're looking at about £50,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MojoPogo Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 With a bunch of you guys (and gals, and fill!), That would be a total blast! I give you a holla if i win the lottery, cos THATS how much it would cost! Rest assured, id hire one of those big ass tour buses! (after all, its a if money was not object scenario!) TWO on tour!

Guest The Beltster Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) If I could do it from 1987 - 1990 specifically, then yes, it would be awesome! In 2006, I'd prefer not to, as the WWE product is the drizzling shits and isnt worth my time, personally.

Guest MrFill Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Speaking of the travel, if you was willing to travel for the year, presuming US travel only you could rent an RV. Long term rentals would work out at about $15k or so for the year, which is around £9k. Now, why do this? Firstly it cuts down on your hotel costs, secondly you aren't tied to getting to and from the hotel and arena, thirdly your food costs sink as well since you can shop in places like WalMart and buy in bulk. Although, you'd have to pay for petrol (or diesel), so it'd bring the price up a bit. Since the estimated cost has £14,600 for hotel & food, if you take off the RV instead of the hotel, you'd still have £5k left for food, without even thinking about other travel costs. I know some of you will have thought about where to park it - so, here's a little known fact (apart from to RV owners) - you can park you RV in a WalMart car park at any time you want, and they'll be quite happy about it! So, you've got your transport and living all in one tidy package. How's that for an idea? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kanenite Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Personally it would be a real blast and I would have tons of fun, but maybe not a year, there would also be a point where you think hey i've seen that match or hey this house show is the same. So I would love to for a while but not a whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Christof Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Of course if you'd only be looking at TV tapings and PPV's then you could also do casual work as and when in the days inbetween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm sure the fun in being a WWE groupie would die out pretty soon, as would your voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twig Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'd prefer to tour with a jam band for a year... and it's much more feasable, as you could make a good living selling burritos in the parking lot, and at campsites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MartynJ Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 If i had the money i would proberly do it for a few months with some mates as a nice longish holiday/break, but thats about it because if i had enough money to follow the wwe around for a year and all the costs? well i'd find something more wise and senable to spend the cash on, unless i did win the lotto and then thats a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan 188 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'd definatly go, not going on the road with WWE for a whole year would be a serious missed oppertunity, it'd be even better if you had backstage passes for all the shows aswell :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
