GREAT NIGHT IN BEAUMONT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well my wife figured it was time to let me out of the house, and WWE was in Beaumont Saturday, so off we went on a 100 mile drive. When I got to the arena the security guard was talking to a WWE agent on a walkie-talkie to see if I could go in the wrestler's entrance. The agent asked if I was a big guy with a beard. The guard said no. I told him I just shaved it off today, which he repeated to the agent.(A likely story, right?) I pulled out my id and then they knew it was me. Yes, I finally shaved my hair and beard off. I haven't been without at least a moustache, since high school. Feels wierd, but it was starting to go now.
The first person we saw was Ric Flair, and he immediately came over to hug me and ask how I was doing. Next was HHH, Kane,Chris Benoit,Christian,William Regal, Val Venis, Steven Richards and of course the Hebners,Steve Kiern, and Arn Anderson. The young guys that didn't know who I was with the different look, all came up and introduced themselves, like Randy Orton,Shelton Benjamin,Batista, Rob Conway, Sylvian Grenier, Eugene, Chuck Palumbo, and Coach.
Everyone was of course so concerned for me, but this was one of those "Memory-making" days for my family, so HHH sent the agents to put my family in some good close seats, while I stayed in the back. HHH got a HHH t-shirt for my son, and a Lita t-shirt for my daughter, along with 2 programs, which I ran all over getting everyone to sign.
Chris Benoit was awesome to my son. He gave my daughter a t-shirt, but to my son, get this, he gave a pair of his ring-worn tights! Then he thought my son would want to just "play" wrestler in them, but no, my son got him to sign them because he wants to display them. My son was so honored.
So they watched most of the show, but unfortunately it was getting a bit too much for me physically, so we left before the semi, amd main events. Everyone was just so good to us, I couldn't thank them enough, I know they'd do it for any of the boys, but still to see the excitement, and happiness in my kids' eyes it's like......priceless. Don't tell anyone but I think my daughter likes Randy Orton.(Shhhh) HHH assured me that a letter to Vince would be personally delivered so everything went great.

That's just class. As much as we might want to bash some of the wrestlers, to be so respectful and caring is just awesome to hear. Although frankly, if I met John Tenta without his beard, I'd be a little confused too! :lol:

Anyway, I'm glad he had such a great experience and wish him further luck in his fight. Hopefully, he can prove the doctors wrong.
