NOT EVERYONE HAPPY WITH WRESTLING REUNION V
I decided to attend the WR5 because there were several wrestlers I wanted to meet for the first time. I arrived between 12:30 PM and 1:00 PM and saw a line outside the building 3/4 of the buildings length. I thought this is good and I got inline waiting to get in, but by 2:00 o'clock I was about 10 feet from the door and I hear you're all getting in free and blah, blah, then Carteret's Finest show up and tell us the place is shutdown due to over capacity and we had to leave, now. Well myself and approximately 100 other people were screwed out of the Reunion by a greedy promoter over booking too many wrestlers and renting venue with low capacity. I looked through the doors while in line and I could see what amounted to a hodgepodge of disorganization. I had heard stories of people being ripped off and screwed over by Wrestling Reunion, but I decided to give them a chance and they blew it!!! Wrestling Reunion will never get my $ or anything else and I'll discourage anyone from going to Wrestling Reunion's conventions.
In closing, Wrestling Reunion will not even try to make amends or offer any kind of compensation, because that opportunity to meet those particular wrestlers is lost forever.
Wrestling Reunion broke the one cardinal rule!!! Don't screw the fans.
Btw: I don't blame the wrestlers, they didn't screw the fans. The promoter did!!!

I arrived at the signing about 9:45 and did not get in the door until 11:30. We waited in line for over an hour maybe closer to 2 hours. The event to me seemed to be run rather poorly but I did manage to get the pictures and signatures that I wanted.
The vendors were good but getting autographs was not. I was very happy to get Sid's autograph and all the wrestlers were very nice. No matter if you were there for one or all of the wrestlers you still had to wait in the same line which was very upsetting. The wrestlers not in the main stage were very easy to get. I had a good time at the event but lots of people were forced to wait outside and some didn't get in the building until after 2. Very poorly run but the wrestlers themselves were all very cool.

Hi Georgie I attended WrestleReunion V this morning as well. I arrived at about 8:45 as the doors were opening at 10:00. The doors opened promptly at 10 and we quickly got in. The vendor guests started signing early most were there at 10, others showed up by 11, Pedro by a little after noon. The wrestlereunion guests started closer to noon.
The place was overcrowded, no airconditioning, and the wrestle reunion line was unorganized at not moving at all.
However regardless if the other people got in or not, I dont think they would have gotten their autographs. I left at around 2:15 and there was still aline. So if the 100 or so people who got turned away came in Im not sure if they would have gotten to meet the other wrestlers.
