Okay, so the three day Fanfest affair has come and gone and I had a fucking blast. Definately worth the VIP passes I got. Just wanted to share a little about the event and my journey through it. I'll break it down by Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Day 1: Friday.
So I had to work all day Friday. lol. Fanfest started around 12:00. Now my internship that I was doing is selling advertising to all the local busineses for the UNC Charlotte Campus Directory. So I was out and about all day and wasn't in an office or anything. So that meant that I was going to be spending part of my time working and the other half at Fanfest.
So I got there at like 9 in the morning right after the morning work meeting to pick up my passes for VIP. This guy in front of me going down the escalator had to stop for a second to tie his shoes and I jumped in front of him. Why does that matter? You'll see later on. One of the first guys I see waiting on the line for my shit was that faggot Rob Feinstein. Some dude smacked his chest and he went WOOOOOOOO. I just shook my head and thought that if Rob Harvey was here he would of probably punched him. :lol:
So, They gave you a bracelet you had to wear to get into the VIP stuff and a VIP neckchain. They also gave me a program. Inside the program was a a few pictures of NWA guys and an autograph page for your autographs throughout Fanfest. Also, there was a number inside of it. Every program had a number in it and on Sat they would draw 2 numbers and if yours was the one they drew, you get to have lunch with Bret Hart. My number was 1108 Remember that number.
So after getting my shit, I went back to work until 2:00, the first autograph session. Now this was the first time I was actually walking into the Fanfest. There was two rooms. One was an exhibit room with all kinds of wrestking memorabilia all over the place; tapes, DVD's, Belts, Figures, Masks, Molly and Ivory taking photos and signing shit for thier company. Molly is really really hot in person and Ivory's boobs were falling out of her top. Highspots, RF Video and those guys were there.
In the other room was where the ring was for the matches on Sat, the autograph stage and the stage for the Q & A sessions. When I got there I went to the ehibit room first and just took everything in. There was TV's with wrestling footage playing all over the place and I was checking it out. Then as I was walking around the room, someone bumps into me from behind and it felt like a fucking brick wall just hit my shoulder. I was like "WTF" in my head and I turn and see who did that and it's OX Baxter. lol. Now if you've seen Ox before, you know I wasn't about to say shit cause he's one scarey Mother F'er. But he's a really nice guy in person and he's a great promo boy. He got on the stage and really got the crowd going. His voice will light up the room. The wresters do promos before they do polaroids with the fans, so that's why he did that.
After getting bum rushed by Ox, I went to get some autographs. The lineup was, Oliver Humperdink, Paul Jones, Mr. Wrestling 2, Ole, JJ, and OX. Only got a few cause I had to leave again for work. But it was awesome just going up there and seeing these guys up close. Met this cool guy while waiting to go up and we hung out a lot for the rest of the 3 days. He has a great Funk story to tell now, but that will be in my Sat. part and our adventures looking for Bret Hart Saturday night I will tell too.
After work ended, I went back for the three 1hr+ Q & A segments with Dillon, Funk and Cornette. I will post about the 3 sessions and my meeting Ole and Jones in the lobby that night later on tonight.
So, to be cont......
