A big thanks to all of the help here. Here are some of the answers (a gist of Show's answers, to be fair) to the Qs i could manage to ask him in the 5 minutes i had with him, along with rolling the links + promo for TV.

Asmo Asks:
I remember watching a segment about your daily activities where you made, and ate a toothpaste sandwich. Do you still do and recommend that?
Answer: No, doesn't do it. Wouldn't recommend it. But had to do it since there wasn't any other option at that point in life.

Some random thoughts before / during / after the meet:
- His personal bodyguard is an ex-Army man, who apparently, is MMA-trained. Reminded me of 'Vincent' from Total Divas though.
- Show is HUGE. His fist is bigger than my face. Scary. Though i expected this, meeting him face to face intimidates you no-end.
- That being said, he was extremely humble, down-to-earth, and well, thankful for being able to do what he's doing. Very easy to talk to, and well, loves to talk.
- Prefers to be addressed 'Paul'.
- Saw my replica 'belt' and chastised me for calling it a 'belt'. "You can't ever refer to that (pointing to the WHC replica) as a belt. A belt holds up your pants. If you are a champ, and Vince ever hears you referring to it as a 'belt', it'll be off you within the next week."
- 5 minutes went by in a flash.
Readily agreed to do a promo with me as a tease-in for our show. The segment's called 'Get A Life', and I'm not really an on-air talent. Oh well.
