Mexican Damn inator got LAID OUT

Shadrick 10-24-2010 04:50 AM

Update: Got a chance to meet Edge and HBK not too long ago. Both were genuinely cool guys. HBK is super humble (15 years ago, me saying that would have been crazy) as well as Edge. Finally had a conversation with Sheamus and that guy, bar none, is probably one of the smartest in terms of Wrestling IQ and is DEFINITELY one of the most charismatic next to Barrett. Got a chance to have a convo with Barrett too, and if its not already obvious, the guy is a fucking natural. He said, and I quote "The biggest thing with the Nexus angle has yet to happen. Just wait."

I've met Undertaker na few occasions, usually after Mainas.

Met Edge and Lita, and I had to force myself to not stare at her chest. I think I strained a neck muscle.

Met Samoa Joe once, which was really weird. I was at the Las Vegas airport waiting for a friend, and this big dude walked by, and just flopped down in the chair. I glanced over. I looked again. Scratched my head. Pulled out my PSP and did a quick Google Image search to make sure. And before I could look at him again, I hear, 'Hey man, what games you got?' At first, I didn't realize he was talking to me. I turned again, and asked him if he was Samoa Joe, he said, 'Yeah man. What games you got?' But before I could answer, the friend I was waiting on smacked me in the back of the head with his duffel bag.

Me and Cones met quite a few of the TNA guys at house show a couple of weeks ago.

Had a short conversation with Orlando Jordan, he was a really cool guy. He wears these friendship bracelets that fans from around the world have given him. Seems really appreciative of all the fans.

Matt Morgan was kind of a cock, he had some "I'm better than you" attitude while he was signing stuff.

I thought Earl Hebner was kind of a cool guy, had a little hint of an attitude, but nothing major.

The rest of the locker room was kind of just signing stuff, they were all pretty cool, Madison Rayne was really nice. Doug Williams and Jay Lethal were pretty cool, Eric Young, James Storm, Robert Roode seemed to have an attitude that night. Don West was running around all over the place, he was an alright guy.

See, we all make jokes about Lita being the Lance Storm of Botch Wrestling, and having more STD's than a dictionary, but the truth is that she's still hotter than any chick any of us will ever get with.

might go meet the big show at a nearby walmart tomorrow

Bumped (literally) into Kurt Angle at O'Hare airport in 2003, he was a lot more soft-spoken than I thought he would be - he was really nice though.
Met the Undertaker, Farooq, and Val Venis at Old Chicago back in '99. They were all cool, and I bought them a round.

Ha, I just went to a house show last night. Met Joe, Beautiful People, RVD and Jarrett. A bunch of other guys from the show also came out afterwards to sign, but didnt get to say much. I agree about Earl Hebner as he seemed to sign and go.

Ken Shamrock was a San Diegan native when I was in 6th grade. My dad is a mechanic for SDG&E, and used to build hot rod engines on the side. Shamrock knew a coworker of my dad's and wanted to have his 69 Camaro engine rebuilt, and the guy forwarded Shamrock to my dad.

I eventually got to meet Shamrock at his house, got free autographed 8x10s, tickets to a house show, and of course the obligatory photo op. Also got some Lion's Den t shirts and tanktops.

He was a pretty cool guy from what I remember. Real easy going.

Volare 10-26-2010 10:02 AM

Met Matt and Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore at Secret's Cabaret here in Fayetteville. They had their own area marked off, but I got to bs with Matt a little bit and bought him a shot of Jager. Jeff was being a dick and Shannon came over and said what's up. Bout a 5 minute conversation just saying I thought what he did in the ring (2006 btw) was good work and I liked watching him. He appreciated it, and bought me a shot a Jose in return.

Schlomey 10-26-2010 10:13 AM

Volare what would you tell Matt Hardy if that would have happened last night?

Volare 10-26-2010 10:28 AM

Well he wasn't getting slammed like Jeff was the night I met him, so it would depend on how fucked up he would be. Honestly though, since I'm really not a hateful kind of guy, I would wish him luck and hope everything works out for him, and get info on him reopening OMEGA.

Schlomey 10-26-2010 10:31 AM

I'd try and steal his internetz away from him.

I met a few guys from a few years ago when the WWE came to do a survivor series tour in the Uk. Long story short my dad is a coach driver, he took them to their hotel from Manchester airport, we met him there and the wrestlers when they got there, HBK was quiet but signed autographs for us, we was later told that HBK was going cold turkey so was a little stand offish.

Taijiri was there, he bowed for me when i got his case out of the coach for him, and Maria was there. Ric Flair had his own private limo from the airport and didnt travel with the rest so never met him but thought it was awesome he lives that lifestyle. John Cena went straight to the arena from the airport so didnt meet him either. Trevor Murdoch was there with HHH, who i have to say was freakin huge in person.

My dad got to go backstage with the wrestlers but we wasnt allowed authorisation but he only had good things to say about the guys, he became quite friendly with Ric Flair and held his robes for him whilst he was backstage with him. He also told us the wrestlers took hundreds of beers with them in ice boxes, and in fact HHH was completely smashed when he went out that night to wrestle. But he was a good guy on all acounts. My dad also said Viscera was with them, he bought a large vegetarian pizza to himself and he was so huge that he couldn't get on the coach from the front, he needed to get through the emergency exit at the back lol.

Suveniers i managed to wangle, well we was told due to legelities with the WWE, wrestlers couldnt sign our replica belts unfortunately :( but we had signitures from a few guys, there was plent of beers left behind which i managed to liquidate :) Ric Flair's room key from the hotel he stayed in was left with a dossier folder of the tours details. Two rolls of tape from HHH that he uses to tape his wrists, and my favourite, Kanes black beanie hat lol if he wants it back, im not going to argue lol.

Anyway good time all in all and nothing bad to say about any of them really, just wanted to pass my experience on really

I have met a ton of wrestlers.

I've met most of them at a local restaurant in Chicago, and also arriving at various arenas in the area.

The first time I met any wrestlers was in October 2001, in Valparaiso Indiana. Nothing special, met Billy Gunn and Big Show. They were playing football outside, then they signed and posed for everyone.

June 2002, we met Lance Storm, Hurricane, and Edge- I told the story here before that we saw a guy who looked like Funaki, and it wasn't...

September 2002 same place, we see Lance Storm- and he points out the guy we thought was Funaki. I was shocked he remembered since they are on the road so much. It was also the first time I met my favorite all time wrestler, Christian. They signed everything we had for them. Great guys.

January 2003. Met Maven, Orton, Batista, Rosey and I forgot who else. This was just memorable because we went to the same gas station they did, and Rosey was in there buying condoms. He walked in, asked the cashier for "rubbers" but the cashiers english wasn't great so he was like "condoms man, I need condoms."

April 03. Met a few guys. Rey Mysterio was really drunk. I think I also met Nidia and Dawn Marie hard to keep track of things. I remember Rikishi wasn't friendly at all.

September 2003- The motherload. RAW was in Chicago, Smackdown had a house show in Indiana...so after the show a ton of RAW stars and divas were at this restaurant, and all of a sudden a whole bunch of Smackdown stars were there. So in one day, I got Kurt Angle, John Cena, Randy Orton, Tajiri, Funaki (for real this time), Christian (who main evented in the ladder match with RVD, who I also met this night), and a ton of other wrestlers. Randy Orton and Cena hugged it out a little, good friends in OVW I think.

February 2004- Molly Holly, Trish Stratus all signed. Also Rico. No one special. Although I became a big fan of Molly after this.

April 2004- Molly remembered me! I was a pathetic teenager at the time and sent her a letter and she said "Hello Joe" when she saw me. I made her a poster. Its funny and pathetic. We actually corresponded for a while after this. She was in a wig. Also met Al Snow- he signed his card for himself and "Head".

Afterwards, went to the restaurant- and this night pretty much ended the reign at the restaurant. It was either Lita or Matt Hardy's birthday. They had a cake, and went around the restaurant offering everyone a piece of cake. White cake. Not my favorite, but when is Lita ever going to offer me any other kind of pastry? So I took a piece and saved the candle. Its cool to have a memory like that. But, then Lita and Matt smashed some cake in each others faces and left a huge mess. So that was that.

Also, Stacy Keibler was there. Nice. She had me go up to Randy Orton and call him Randall. So, I did. He didn't care. He just said "Who told you to call me that?" So I narked on Stacy.

I must have met quite a few people between 2005 and now, but the dates get a little mixed up. Met HBK at a book signing. Met Kane quite a few times over the years, great guy. Kofi is a good guy, Matt Striker is very friendly as some other posters on this thread have already said. Met Edge a month ago, posted that pic on a thread. R-Truth is cool. Jeff Hardy was pretty cool- hated the guy until I met him.

Maybe I'll post a ton of pics on the picture message board on here so you all can see...and to keep my memory fresh!

Looks like you photobombed Striker to me. :shifty:

I have met a couple of legends like Piper, Snuka, Animal, Valentine, Steamboat and Dusty at conventions and FCW shows. All super cool guys. Specially Steamboat. Piper is just a fucking riot. Dusty is fun as hell. I went to an FCW show and there was an after party and Dusty stayed to hang out the whole night. Great guy.
I met Chris Jericho back in 2003 after a Fozzy Show. Very cool guy. Very willing to share and discuss things with the fans too. It was actually a metal festival and Jericho stayed around after his band played. He hung out with the audience and watched the show. Real cool.
Met the Undertaker. Can't say much except that he was real nice. There was over 100 people there so i got to talk to him for like 30 seconds.
Rey i met earlier this summer. Another real cool guy. very down to earth. i noticed he was very friendly with the kids. Seems to know they look up to him. Just an overall pleasant guy to be around.
Besides for that, I have met a lot of the current Nexus guys and FCW superstars. Can't say anything negative about any of them.

Photo bombed? Is that photo shopped? Its real...just had to take it myself.

Fignuts 10-27-2010 03:01 AM

Met flair on three seperate occasions, and he was a dick everytime. Didn't even look at me.

J.R., on the otherhand, was the man. He was doing a signing to promote his new BBQ sauce. He was taking time to have a couple words with everyone, and this prick that works for the location standing behind him whispers something about "moving it along faster". J.R. whips around and yells at the guy "These people stood outside in the rain to see me, and I'll take all the damn time I want!" Fucking awesome.

No, no, no... photobombed. http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...rm=photobombed

Looks like Striker was posing in front of the building and at the last moment, you jumped in front of the camera.
