2 WWE WrestleMania AXXESS Reports - 4.02.11

I went to my third Axxess session this morning from 8-12. It was a slower start but the place got packed quickly.
Sheamus and Shawn Michaels did in- ring interviews.
There was a wrestler imitation contest in the ring.
Vladimir Kozlov defeated Tyler Reks and after the match was the angle where The Corre jumped Vladimir Kozlov. They hit his arm with the steps. Later on they said that he was "injured" and might not make it to WrestleMania.
Drew McIntyre also defeated Chris Masters.
The talent that I met were: Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez (both really cool), Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust (both very nice), Kane (nice guy), Jim Ross (very personable), Cody Rhodes (awesome guy), and Triple H (really cool dude).
I also got my picture taken with Paul Bearer in The Undertaker's Graveyard attraction. Paul was very friendly.
It was a crazy day so I didn't see everyone but the other talent that I saw signing were: Vickie Guerrero, Laycool, JTG, Great Khali, Ted DiBiase Jr and Sr, Sgt Slaughter, Mark Henry, William Regal, Zack Ryder, Jerry Lawler showed up late. The Diva photo booths had Melina, Alicia Fox, The Bella Twins, and Tamina. Most crazy day yet but still awesome! I have 2 more sessions left tomorrow!

I just got back from the 1 p.m. session, and here are a few highlights.
John Morrison did an in-ring Q&A. One person asked him who his favorite person to wrestle was, and he said "Melina." He laughed and went on to name The Miz, CM Punk, Sheamus, and a few others. He said Snooki had a cheer leading background, and she was going to surprise everyone with her athleticism.
Kevin Nash sat down at the legends table to sign, and everyone started chanting "Diesel." He signed one autograph and they informed him he needed to move to the "Slim Jim" area table, and everyone started booing loudly as he left the area. Harley Race replaced him at the Legends table. I saw Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Ezekiel Jackson, Justin Gabriel, Chavo Guerrero, Ron Simmons, and there may have been a few I missed. Gail Kim, Natalya, and Rosa were taking pictures with fans.
My buddy won the trivia the contest and afterward was interviewed by a Mexican television station, then spotted by the "Tonight Show" w/ Jay Leno, and they interviewed him as well. So apparently there should be segment on Leno next week dedicated to the fans at Axxess, maybe on Tuesday when Rock appears. They were interviewing some pretty scary people too, so who knows how they will portray it.
Great Khali beat Zack Ryder and Chavo Guerrero defeated Heath Slater.
