A couple of BAD Wembley shows i was in the seats in the stand, one i was on the pitch, the pitch pretty much meant every man for himself and go where you want (if you could move). closest i got was about 30yards from the front! 
Still all good though. The BAD tour only cost £15 a ticket at Wembley, times have changed. [Edited 2/20/09 15:03pm] I'm mad only one person thought to videotape it  . Was regulations strict and camcorders weren't allowed?
I'm looking at the Bad Tour section on The Michael Jackson Archives and all of this fascinates me
 Wow these stories are very interesting! | |

[Edited 2/20/09 15:03pm] Though I've never went to a MJ concert, I used to go to WWF (now WWE) events at MSG. If I get a bad seat, I used to try and sneak up, but security would tell me to go back. They're more strict there. What I would do is when they announce it, maybe the first day, I would go to ticketmaster and buy it earlier, instead of the last minute. I did get good Prince seats back in the day. [Edited 2/20/09 17:21pm] | |

My mom's co-worker spent nearly $3,000 to go to Wrestlemania in L.A back in 2007. If they ever have Wrestlemania out here, I WILL be going "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them.

If they ever have Wrestlemania out here, I WILL be going Same here, lol. It's rare when they bring in big-time events in NC, lol. And usually when it does, my connection (my cousin) doesn't get the tickets on time but when he does, it's on. We went to a local TNA wrestling event here in my hometown just a few weeks ago.  Booker T was there. | |

I think Chyna left because of Stephanie McMahon, I am not sure. Vince McMahon was stiffing a lot of wrestlers and steroid use was killing some of them. | |

He's said several times, and in a way, I don't think many fans want him back. Alot of fans felt disrespected how he basically walked away. No retirement match, no goodbye speech, nothing. Dude got his second #1 movie and that was it Now Stone Cold, if he was in better shape, I could see him coming back. Wrestling was his LIFE and he still appreciates the fans Chyna's releasing another sex tape.....I think I just threw up in my mouth a lil bit "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them.

Well, a wrestlers occupation is short, and I wondered how Hulk Hogan and Shawn Micheals stayed in the game for so long. [Edited 2/20/09 19:21pm] | |

[Edited 2/20/09 19:21pm] Hogan, in many peoples' opinion, is an attention whore He thrives on the spotlight, and many people in the business don't like him
Shawn had been wrestling for 12 years when he retired back in 1998. He had suffered back, neck, and knee injuries several times. He was also dealing with drug and alcohol problems. Dude was heavy into pills and booze especially during 1995-1998. I've heard stories about Triple H and Chyna carrying him out of an arena because he was so doped out. If you watch some old footage from the 1997-1999 period, it was obvious he wasn't in the right frame of mind. I'm gonna be doing a wrestling thread in GD and I'm gonna post this match from King of the Ring 1997 where you tell he was FUCKED UP He got off the pills, found God, and he's just as great as he was before "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Shawn was definitely high during 1997-99, I didn't know WHAT was going on with him at the time but something was indeed not right with him, now I see why. 
As for Austin, I don't think he wants to wrestle, he's tired of it, he'll agree to show up sometimes when they have special referee matches and he happens to be chosen by fans. | |

Marrk said: WaterInYourBath said: I know. It's just a cute joke, LOL.Well, i believe he's done something with Diana (possibly lost his virginity), i saw those specials with her commenting on his sex appeal and MJ looking all bashful but recipracating, Him doing 'Upside Down' at a Diana gig, i'm telling ya, Diana had something for Michael too. Body language, twinkle in her eye. All there. We'll never know. But i think i do. Between 'The Wiz' and 'Eaten Alive', that's an eight year window.  Well, yeah, it looks that there might have been something going on between them. Just look at them: The way he´s looking at her. He´s like hypnotized by her. I was also wondering why he said in Moonwalker that she was among other things his "lover". Now what did he mean? He could have said "big love" or something. We´ll never know I guess. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Yeah, she looked like she couldn't move her head in case the crown-hat thing fell off. I read she said he was a good kisser, though.
