I attended the iPlay America Finn Balor & Bayley autograph signing today, here are a few words and photos from the event.This was the first time I
attended a event at iPlay America, it's only a thirty minute drive so I figured
it was worth meeting both Finn & Bayley, iPlay America did a good job with
their security outside the venue, they informed everyone what would be going on
once the doors opened. They had everyone with "VIP" tickets including myself
move to the left so we could enter the building first then general admission
would enter.
The doors opened after 9am and we were giving wristbands and moved
into the larger area where the meet & greet would be taking place. The event
itself started right before 10am, both Finn & Bayley looked extremely happy
and ready to meet all the fans. My only complaint with iPlay America is once you
finally got up to the talent their employees rushed you, I understand they want
everyone to have a chance to meet them but it's very rushed, they had two
different women taking your items to be autographed and bringing it to the
talent, you would have to tell the first woman what color you wanted the item to
be signed and she would then tell the second woman.
Personally I like
interacting with the talent and asking them if they could sign my items in
either black, silver, or gold ink just so I know it doesn't get screwed up. By
the time I got up to the table the second woman already told Finn the wrong
color to sign my Elite figure and he had started to sign it. I was very annoyed
because I preferred him to sign this in sliver not gold. I don't know what this
woman was thinking other then to rush and get everyone moving as fast as
possible.
I told Finn and Bayley what a pleasure it was to meet them for the
first time and I mentioned to Bayley how much I enjoyed her NXT Brooklyn match
with Sasha Banks. She thanked me and gave me a hug after I asked. Finn was down
to earth and very polite, I told him that I looked forward to his debut on the
main roster and that I was a huge fan. They did not allow you to take photos
with the talent on your phone because they had a professional photographer.
After taking the picture they informed us that you would be able to download
your photo online after a few hours.
I would attend another iPlay America event
in the future to give them another chance, my only concern would be how their
event staff handles things once in the room with the talent, they rush you and
that leads to them making mistakes. As a paying customer I don't want my items
getting screwed up because someone is in such a rush.
Thanks David
