Bigger collection of losers? Comic book convention or front rows at Wrestling matches?

RESPONSE FROM KEVIN ECK: I'd say anyone who comments on a wrestling blog under the alias "Don West's hairpiece" is the biggest loser.

But don't bother making a special trip unless you already have tix to the Con. It's 100% sold out this year (for the first time I'm told).

Off topic, but relevant to wrestling. What effect would a new arena have on the WWE coming here more frequently? It seems Philadelphia, which is more WWE territory where Baltimore was more NWA/WCW territory, gets more shows per year. And is it possible, and how big would the arena seating capacity have to be, to get one of smaller "BIG 3" PPVS (Summerslam, Royal Rumble, or Survivor
Series, because I don't think we could get Mania)?

RESPONSE FROM KEVIN ECK: You're right, Baltimore would NEVER get Mania. A newer arena might attrack a SummerSlam, Survivor Series or Royal Rumble if it seated -- and I'm juest guessing here -- around 18,000 or so.

I was at Comic Con but wasn't able to see Stacy or Foley. But I was able to meet Christy Hemme, Gail Kim (who told me Foley was there) and Virgil. Also there, RVD and Mr. Kennedy (didn't see it for myself though). RVD's line was the longest but I didn't see Kennedy or Foley. There was also a huge line to play Smackdown v. Raw 2009 on the Main Floor. I was able to try out the Inferno Match first hand. Bottom Line: Wrestling has as much a place at Comic Con as all the other cult pop fanbases.
