EARLY WWE AXXESS NOTES

WWE held the first Wrestlemania AXXESS Session Thursday evening at the IZOD Center.

Legends brought in to sign were Jimmy Snuka, Howard Finkel, Pat Patterson, Jimmy Hart, Dusty Rhodes, Ron Simmons, Jimmy Snuka, Diamond Dallas Page and Ricky Steamboat.
Current WWE talents who signed were Antonio Cesaro, Sin Cara, Epico, Primo, Camacho, Hunico, Vickie Guerrero, Brad Maddox, mark Henry, Alex Riley, Great Khali, Teddy Long and AJ Lee.
CM Punk and The Undertaker signed for VIP Ticketholders.
Rosa Mendes, The Prime Time Players, 3MB and The Usos took part in photo sessions with fans.
The lone complaint we've heard is that the set-up in the Arena forces fans to wait far longer than they traditionally had to in order to get autographs. Unlike the past where they had stations set up with winding lines that went back and forth (as you would see in amusement parks), due to the IZOD Center's space, fans are lining up in sections of the Arena's permanent seating and being brought up, row by row, to the talent, stationed at the top of that section. One person, who's attended AXXESS in the past, said that in the time it used to take him to get 4-5 talents' signatures in the past, he only was able to get through two lines for autographs.
The flipside to the waiting was that while you were in the seats, fans could watch WWE NXT matches that were taking place inside the IZOD Center. So, while the wait was longer, you could watch some live wrestling.
