met superstars yesterday
Some of you here know that I went to RAW last night. I had great seats - ringside, 10 rows away from the ring, the last row in the section and the row directly in front of the stage area/Titantron. It was the section where Del Rio drove in. I did make a TPWW sign, and several other signs, but unfortunately they didn't get on (a little disappointed about that).
Anyway, I met a few of the wres.... er, superstars, yesterday afternoon as they were pulling into the arena's parking lot and thought I would tell you about them. Jerry Lawler, John Morrison, Vicki Guerrero, Chad Patton and Mike Chioda, and Tony Garea were all super cool and did autographs for all of us who went there to meet them. Vicki is very lady-like in person, and Chad Patton said, "hey guys, thanks for standing out here in the cold for us... it means a lot to us." I think Tony Garea felt good knowing someone there (me) still remembered him. A lot of the fans who went to get autographs had no idea who he was until I told them. But the one I was most impressed with yesterday, was EDGE. See, there was a 10-year-old boy who has cancer and was there in a wheelchair with his mother. The kid really wanted to meet Edge, but Edge hadn't seen him yet. As Edge was taking the time to talk to everyone and signing autographs, proving fame hasn't gone to his head, someone told Edge about the boy in the wheelchair. Edge stopped signing for everyone else, went over to the boy (leaving the secured area and going into the group of fans, with security). He shook the boy's hand, was talking to him, took a picture with him, and then gave him an autograph. I was standing right beside them and witnessed the whole thing and it was very, very cool. I have a whole new respect for Edge, because of this experience. I knew Cena was good with special needs kids, but Edge was the same way yesterday. Jack Swagger was about to come and sign until some fans started jeering him and ruined it for everyone. Then he just turned around and walked away. Arn Anderson, Dean Malenko, Jack Doan (ref), William Regal, Sheamus, Mark Henry, The Uso's, Mason Ryan and Michael McGillicutty just totally ignored all of us and apparently don't realize that if it weren't for the fans they wouldn't be there. Oh well. Overall, a good day in my life. I just wish I had brought my camera with me. Which superstars have you guys met, and how were they in person? |

I met Goldberg a few months back. He was doing a tour of military bases here in the states and I was lucky enought to get an autograph and a pic. I thought it was kinda funny that a woman next to me in line only knew him as "that guy from the apprentice"

I think that is a very nice story about Edge. I've always respected the guy, and based off of some interviews (ie Off the Record on TSN) I've gathered that he seems to be a pretty down-to-earth guy. Its just good to know that he will take the time to do something nice for the fans that see him every week.
Good job! Kudos to you Edge |

Just bought tickets to the Mar 8 Smackdown tapings in Houston. My first live show ever, and my first time to see a WWE superstar as well. Pretty excited, and might well go there a bit early as well. The show says to arrive at 6:30 pm so I figure I will be there around 4 pm or so. Not possible to go earlier than that.
I got section 107, row 11. The ring side tickets got sold almost immediately, probably because the houstonians think Taker and Booker T will be there, and also because it is during the road to wrestlemania as well. |

I have met a lot of wrestlers but most of them have been at conventions or shows. I frequent FCW shows often so it is easy to meet guys there. I guess when it comes down to it, sometimes the guys just have good and bad days like the rest of us. I remember I met Alex Riley once and he seemed like he was in a shitty mood. When I got home I realized that it was the weekend when he got the DUI.
The 2 most memorable meets I had were with Foley and Edge. It was awesome. The Edge one was specially surreal. I was about 12-13 and I was going to Wal-Mart with my dad. Ironically, I was wearing an Edge shirt. As I am walking around a guy walks by and says "cool shirt man" and I am like thanks. It didn't click but it was Edge. I ran back and talked to him. The best part was that ti was during the 5 second pose period and he was buying a hat. I saw him wearing that hat later on. With Foley, doing work at Boston Market, he came in once. We didn't want to be total marks about it so we just played it cool. I think he noticed we were talking about him. When he was getting ready to pay he gave us some fucking glare like shit was about to go down. Then he did the Cactus Jack Bang Bang! deal and talked to use for a little bit. It was bad ass. |

I interviewed the Beautiful People for an interview last November and they were pretty cool. I also interviewed Justin Credible in October 2007. He said that he wanted to go to culinary college to be a chef, so him ending up in Olive Garden wasn't a big surprise to me.

I ran into Joey Styles at a GNC back in 2008, we talked about how some of the things there are overpriced, and about him not calling anything at the Rumble 08.
Triple H held the door for me at Barnes and Noble, didn't click who it was until I said thanks and got in the store. |

Smoked weed with RVD at my dorm above the Hammerstein (it is a hotel) on the first One Night Stand. It was pretty cool, we didn't really talk wrestling cause he was with two girls and I had two friends over. We was already pretty drunk and blazed. That's probably my best encounter.
Now I wanna smoke with Kid. |

most of you have probably seen my photo album with all the wrestlers, so I'm not going to go crazy here.
Almost did get a picture with Regal a few years ago, he agreed but no one would take the picture, and I didn't do the thing where you take your own picture. It still haunts me. As far as Edge goes... met this guy 3 times. Back in 02, 09 and 10. Back in 02, he was at this restaurant. A total mark who has stubs for arms and legs was there. Edge, Lance Storm, and Hurricane took all kinds of posed pictures with this guy. It looked good, but as I said, this guy was a mark. He totally bought wrestling characters as real- he was a stubby little man, but the dude isn't mentally handicapped, as months later he went on a rant of how bad of a person Lance Storm was for being in the Un Americans. In 2009 I met Edge after his TLC or whatever with Jeff Hardy in Chicago. So we saw him, Christian, Truth, Mysterio, Umaga, Jeff Hardy and maybe others at Giordano's Pizza. EVERYONE was signing and taking pictures. Edge wouldn't take pictures with anyone...saying he felt beat up from the match and didn't wanna look bad in his pics. Some guy took one of him signing his ringside chair, and he just kind of called him an asshole but didn't run after him or anything. Guy was a total dick...after he got Edge and Umaga on the chair he bragged and said "IM SELLING THIS ON EBAY!!!!" Umaga said he'd break his glasses next time he saw him, and Edge said he hopes he got 2 cents for it. And last September I finally got a picture with Edge, who was eating at TGIF with Striker. After the came out they signed and posed for everyone. Its true that these people are really just people, but regardless of what anyone thinks, an encounter with them can make your day, as Providence Peep is aware of. Congrats on your good luck, and I hope they come back when its warmer. |

Probably doesn't belong in this thread, but since we are talking about meeting people and how I mentioned Edge didn't go after the prick selling his stuff, I do have a story about being run down. Not me, but my brother.
We were at the hotel where the Baltimore Orioles stay, and we were waiting for autographs as usual. It was 4th of July weekend, 2007, and someone told us that Devin Hester was walking around. Sweet. Got a picture with him. So then my brother spots at the time Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas. Walking with 2 girls. He asked to take a picture with him, Thomas says no. My brother just snaps a candid shot and Thomas walks up to my brother, asks to see the camera, my brother gives him the camera and he deletes the picture. LOL. Hated that guy since, especially since he sucked. |

Nah, very close to Chicago. WWE doesn't run "In Chicago", they run in Rosemont, which is very close to the city limits, but isn't technically Chicago. I also try to meet them if they are in Hammond or Valparaiso, Indiana. Small, house show venues are good for that.

Met Ted DiBiase and Kennedy at separate DVD signings. Both seemed pretty cool.
Going to Pregame Pandemonium in Philly on Sunday so hopefully I'll be able to meet a few people. |

Ive met quite a few wrestlers, even though most at just regular autograph signings. And most have been really cool including Austin, Angle and Jericho were the best. At a TNA show this past October I did meet Samoa Joe and the BP during. And I actually met RVD afterwards.
I was just standing outside talking to a few people and Rob actually was heading back into the building. He stopped, signed and joked around for a few minutes. So he is probably the only wrestler Ive met actually outside of having doing something on his own time. |

Met Bret Hart once, just days before Owen died, it was at the 1999 Memoiral Cup in Ottawa he was in town to watch his Hitmen and was in what passes for a box seat at the Civic Centre. During an intermission I went over and the security guard went up and said there was someone who wanted to talk to him, he actually came down to talk to me and one other kid, I got the most face time and actually chatted with him for 10 minutes pretty cool, I totally couldn't tell ya what we talked about.
I also Met Rico after a house show once, nice guy not much else to say. |
