From Ryan Rider: Just to clarify an earlier report, I was wearing a TNA Sting shirt the entire time and had no problem at all. I was even given some free stuff such as 2 dvds, postcards, a Wrestlemania t-shirt, a Wrestlemania hat, and a keychain. The people dressed up as Sting were actually from TNA (the people in charge of the “TNA U” program) and were most likely trying to start a commotion at the event or are just plainly making it up (they were the same people in charge of the small TNA booth the following day). From what I saw, there were no problems in that regard and for the most part the Fan Access was an enjoyable event.
