met superstars yesterday

[Providence Peep]

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?
