From deadlinehollywooddaily.com:
The hot party ticket annually is the “Wrath of Con” party, this year sponsored by IESB.net and TNA wrestling, which put a big 6-sided ring in the middle of the Hard Rock courtyard. Festivities kicked off with the presentation of super-fan awards to Zack Snyder and the writing duo of Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Both got video tributes, but it was notable that while Snyder’s featured actual quotes from the geek blog sites, Orci/Kurtzman’s was full of made-up testimonials, like one from Shia La Beouf saying they almost made it believable he could land a girl like Megan Fox. It also made clear that they’ve written some real clunkers. Eagle Eye? Legend of Zorro? Don’t remind me of those. Seen in attendance: Don Murphy, Kane Hodder, James Duval, Ryan Phillippe, Robert Englund, Kurt Angle. The band Daughtry performed live, and while I’m not a huge fan, it was inoffensive enough jock-rock.
The highlight of the night, though, was a TNA wrestling match between the Motor City Machine Guns – two Detroit high-flyers in Hot Topic-esque shorts – against “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels and Suicide, the latter a favorite of my 7 year-old brother because he wears a full-body black and red suit with a skull mask. Wowing the crowd with fancy double-team moves, and occasionally spilling out into the audience, the match was a hit all around. The MCMGs picked up the win, with all four men slightly breaking character and raising each other’s hands at the end.
