Waaaaay back around 94-95, a friend's brother used to wrestle locally in Winnipeg, and we'd all go to the bar with him afterwards to drink with the other wrestlers. These guys went on to become big stars: Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, Edge, Christian, Lance Storm, and Rhino. My friend's brother did not become a star, lol. All of them were super nice, and Jericho was always still down to Earth when he'd come back home (he even bartended once for fun at a local bar (after winning his first IC title) with the IC belt sitting on the bar.

Edge has been by far the nicest wrestler I have met. Also, The Rock was extremely nice and Chris Jericho was very cool as well. Chris Benoit was probably the rudest the first time I met him, but he was quite nice the second time, must have just been in a bad mood, that's the bad thing about meeting wrestlers (or anyone else) once, you form an opinion of them based on that one meeting, when for all you know, they could be having personal issues or something that contributes to them being in a poor mood, Chris Jericho said the same thing in an interview. Anyway, most have been quite nice, Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio, Torrie Wilson, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, though Matt Hardy sure seemed to be full of his own crap, though he may have just been in V1 character...who knows...

I have to say that Necro Butcher, El Generico and Paul London were the nicest and most talkative, especially London. Christopher Daniels was also right up there too.
Ric Flair was not necessarily a dick, but he didn't really seem like he wanted to be at the signing. Might have been because of all the fans or whatever, but no biggie. That's the worst I can think of and it was not anywhere near bad.

At a TNA show a few years back here in OKC, I met Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley & Jay Lethal. Lethal was great, he talked to me, made eye contact, signed my calender, and even cared enough to ask my name. (Even though he probably won't remember it. Chris Sabin was cool, signed my calender. Alex Shelley wasn't really talking. (Fun fact: I STILL have that Calender in my room.)

I've met Buff Bagwell, Road Dogg, Scott Armstrong, Raven, and Matt Striker. I met Road Dogg years ago when he was a Tag Team Champ with Billy Gunn. He was cool. Got an autograph and a picture with him and the Tag Team title. Buff was cool too. We had a conversation about Polaroid pictures. Haha it was random. Raven was the only one that wasn't that cool. It was at an indy show and my friends and I kept calling him a girl because this was when he was wearing his leather skirt in the ring. And when he got extremely fat. He didn't like us doing that. He kept yelling back at us and then he told the ring announcer to say something to us. The announcer told us we better sit down and not hassle the wrestlers too much. Haha it was fun though.Matt Striker was the coolest I have met. I met him htis past January after a SD taping. It was at the hotel. He started the conversation first. He signed my program and also made fun of me for dragging my fiancee to the show. He was extremely cool. You and your friends are douches.

I met Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, and Madison Rayne a couple of weeks ago at a house show. Angle and Rayne were extremely nice and took the time to talk to me and my friend for a moment. Mick Foley was the complete opposite. He barely even acknowledged our existence. He signed some stuff for us, but when my buddy told him how much he had enjoyed his work over the years, he no sold it and kept moving. I always heard what a nice guy he is, so I was a little disappointed. In his defense, it was after the show and he looked very tired.

Coolest: Edge, HHH, HBK, Flair, Vince McMahon, Kurt Angle, Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes, Chris Masters, Kofi Kingston, Matt Hardy, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, Big Show, Christian, Sheamus, Ted Dibiase,...met plenty of them.....large majority of them are really nice. Rudest: Gail Kim, Val Venis, Kevin Nash (the first time I met him at a signing), Arn Anderson Like mentioned before, must been a bad day. I met her on that same day when I met Layla and I hollared out before the show that I love her in both TNA and WWE and she turned around and gave me a goofy smile and at the end of the show, she signed my auto-graph, she came in with Alicia Fox and Dolph Ziggler and they both were really nice as well. I also met Eve who was a sweet heart too. The Great Khali seemed shy but still signed. To add to my Coolest superstars: Alicia Fox Dolph Ziggler Eve Gail Kim and R-Truth (He told us fans before the show that he will be right back out to sign and my dad took a pic with him. R-Truth came with Jeff Hardy that night. R-Truth kept his word. Rudest: Jeff Hardy (More and more I am loosing my intrest in the Hardyz, not the same like they use to be. Jeff like I said showed up with R-Truth, he could have came out with R-Truth. That was when he was about to start his fued with CM Punk so I guess that was during his downfall.)

Agreed, what the heck would you expect from a guy you just spent the entire time insulting? I'm surprised he didn't get in your face or try to swing at you to be honest.

I'm surprised he didn't get in your face or try to swing at you to be honest. Yeah, it probably was a douchebag thing to do, but we were only 14 years old at the time, and just trying to have a little fun and trying to liven up the place. It was dead.

Ah yes, I remember when I was that age (like it was so long ago ) Well, that would be why he didn't do anything worse then, cause you were younger. Had you been 18 or older... look out.

I have only met The Ultimate Warrior, he was super nice and spent like 5 minutes talking to each fan. I have heard that Alex Shelley and Batista are complete douchebags.

I have only met 2 Batista while he wasn't rude seemed like he could not be bothered to be there but to be fair there was a few hundered people there. he sighned my WM21 poster and I said thank you and left.
I met Bret Hart at a book siging and I have been a Hitman fan since 89 and this meeting a couple of years ago made me even a bigger fan. He looked at me shook my hand asked my name and commented on my t shirt (was wearing a maple leafs shirt) and that was it. Itw as like about 2 minutes but thats all it takes. Real class guy

I heard Hornswoggle is an a-hole. My sister met him and said he came off as a prick.

From the people i met they were all nice [Sting, Tatanka (very nice), Rey, Benoit, Rhino, Benjamin, Raven, Magnus, Terry, Hebner, Herendez, Matt Hardy].
When i met Jericho while he was touring with his band he didn't seem too keen on signing stuff & didn't say anything.

Nicest: Rico, by far! It was after a show and I had a sign for him. He actually approached me to tell me how cool he thought it was that I did that. I kicked my self for not having a pen so I could get an autograph, but the fact that he went out of his way to talk to me was amazing.
George South is a hoot. Barbarian, Ricky Morton, Ivan Kolloff, Dawn Marie, the Hardyz (in 99) and Bobby Eaton were all really nice too. I got yelled at by Eaton, but that was part of the show when I was a ring announcer and was pretty funny.
Rudest- Buff Bagwell... This was also during my time as a Ring announcer and he was the worst person ever. I went up to introduce myself and make sure I didn't need to do anything special for his entrance and without saying high or shaking my hand, he asked me to get him a drink. Then he was late coming out during intermission and when it was time for his match he hadn't even started changing into his gear, so we had to do a second intermission. that was also the day my friend's brother turned my equalizers all the way up and fried my amp, which screwed up the ring announcing for the show. that last part had nothing to do with him, but it was part of my most miserable day in the business.
Jimmy Valliant wasn't that great either... Not really rude, but he's such a shill. He spent the whole time trying to sell me things. At one signing it was just autographs. I bought one, obviously, and he was trying to get more money for a Polaroid. the other time he had random merch, like WWE tapes and magazines. Not really pleasant.
No one else I met was all that rude. Some were less talkative, but they were all pretty nice.
