The Cost of Being A Wrestling Fan: September 2024

Here are the September monies spend on my beloved pro wrestling, and to be honest I'm a bit embarrassed at the total, even though I have no regrets!

Wrestling cards were a big chunk of the month spending $323.39 on various cards.  They ranged from signed NWA Wonderama cards to a new indie card set so I can get Gabby Forza to sign her rookie card.

I bought a few wrestling tickets for shows not in this month which totaled $221,  An indie show in Maine in October, AEW November 6th in Manchester, NH and NJWP November 8th in Lowell, Mass.  Locally I spent $40 on a Limitless Ticket and spent $19.58 on Gas and Food.  

On the 20th I went to Worcester, MA for Big Time Wrestling featuring STING!  My buddy Jay and I tried for years to go see Sting and something seemed to always happen to prevent us going or it was cancelled.  I met Sting at WrestleCon this past April, however Jay still hadn't so I went with him and Mikey came with us.  Gas, Food, Tolls, and Parking was $87.34.  I did go ahead in buy the Sting meet and greet for $205 to finish out my Sting signed card collection, I now have NWA, WCW, TNA, WWE, & AEW Cards signed.  This was also a much better experience than WrestleCon because we got a good couple minutes with Sting rather than the 10 seconds in Philly.

Streaming services were $37.23 and the AEW All In / All Out PPV package was $34.99, the final $56 went towards two custom wrestling VHS tapes and they are bad ass.  FTR vs. Briscoes feud and Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka in ECW.  

Drove a combined 476 miles for wrestling shows this month.

The Cost of Being A Wrestling Fan: August 2024

Here we go with August's monies spent on the Rasslins!!

August is my second lightest month after June, but I'm making up for it in September!? 

I attended 1 wrestling event the 2024 Limitless Wrestling Vacationland Cup, the ticket was a bit more this time because they were sold through the Colisee where the event took place, so with the fees $45.  1,254 fans attended the VLC, one of the highest attended wrestling shows in Maine.  

$39.27 was gas and food at and snacks after the event, Lewiston and Yarmouth are about equal distance, but I picked up Jay & Mikey on the way and dropped them off after extended my drive, not big deal on that.  I bought a couple DVD's from Troy Nelson, and FMW and a WAR, Japanese promotions with shows from the mid 1990's for $10.  I spend $20 on Anthony Greene's new t-shirt featuring him and Jack Morris as the NOAH GHC Tag Team Champions.

I supported another Maine wrestling promotion, and my old stomping grounds in the EWA: Eastern Wrestling Alliance dropping $30 on a retro NES Pro Wrestling game inspired shirt.

I gave Caleb $7 for a trading card from the TJPW set, and the rest of the expenses when towards the monthly streaming services to watch my Pro Wrestling.
