Wrestlers We've Met (+ my experience at RAW)

**Marc the Smark** · 03-01-2005, 12:10 PM

Well before RAW last night I met Molly Holly, The Fink, and Rhyno. They all signed autographs, and seemed to be nice people. Both Molly and Rhyno were kind of soft-spoken, and seemed really humble. Molly is MUCH prettier in person than she is on tv, and also looks much thinner. Some kid in the crowd tried to impersonate The Fink, and Finkle was like, "not quite" but then a friendly smile and chuckle. Really cool time. When I met Rhyno, I thanked him several times and told him he was one of the few that came over to the fans. He said "no problem" and said something like, "hey we need you guys, you know?" That was fucking awesome.

Now, when Kane drove in, he rolled down his car window to talk to one of the security people. We were all calling his name and he didn't even look at us. Chris Jericho came over and signed only a couple of autographs, then said he had to go. The Coach did the same as well, though I think he signed more than Jericho. Ricky Steamboat, Arn Anderson, and Dean Malenko rode in together, and about 15 young guys ran up to them. If they hadn't had done that, they probably would have signed. They said they couldn't, because they had a meeting, but I wonder if that was true.

Who else? Oh, Dave, Earl, and Brian Hebner. None of them looked at the fans, so then a whole bunch of people chanted YOU SCREWED BRET. Yeah, like that will get us autographs. Are people THAT stupid?

Benoit came in with Tomko, and Benoit waved to the fans. That was it for them.

Shawn Michaels had a driver, but they flew past all the fans and went directly into the building.

I'm probably forgetting things, but if I am I'll add them later.

All I can say is, if you're standing outside an arena waiting to meet the wrestlers, get there early (they started coming around 10), and DON'T charge toward them like you're some kind of savage animal. I mean, there were fans running up to cars, and when the guys didn't sign the people were pissed. It was their own fault! Yeah, it's fine to call them over and stuff, but if you start to charge toward them they're NOT going to come. Trust me on that.

Oh yeah, Simon Dean stayed in character (refusing to sign autographs) and Shelton Benjamin's a PRICK.
