HBK signed some mat's (this is back before they had 8x10's on hand) the week before he won the world championship in the elimination chamber way back when. The guy looked jacked in person. He is my kid brother's favorite. Back then, my brother was like 16 or so. My brother, (who solicited hugs from Dawn Marie and Tori Wilson at previous autograph signings) was in complete awe of the showstopper. HBK was very cool and when my brother asked him "Are you going to win the belt in the chamber?" The icon said, I don't know kid, but I'm sure gonna try. He then signed two for me because I asked him to sign one for my kid sister who was too young to be waiting in line for tickets. (this was a house show ticket sales event...no idea why they sent HBK, he was way to big a player for the venue).
Watching how he tried to give my brother some confidence and genuinely appreciated my brother's fanboy nervousness, I found a lot of admiration in HBK that day. He instantly became one of my favorites. A true class act.
Dawn Marie was smoking hot in person (totally different signing event). I found Torie Wilson to be rather homely. TV and make up do wonders. Not sure what the hell Jeter is on. He could probably fetch better.
I have a friend who's wife is related to somebody who is very close to the McMahon family. My friend, being an awesome guy, knows my daughters and I love WWE. He actually got my kids and I each an autographed 8x10 of Stephanie, HHH, and John Cena. True class acts for them to take the time to do that considering how busy all three must be. They were personalized autographs which made it all the more meaningful. Nobody can ever tell me that Stephanie McMahon, HHH, John Cena, or HBK are anything but class acts.
My kid brother also got me autographs from WWE New York (back when it was open) Trish Stratus, Chris Benoit, and Val Venis. I still have those somewhere up in the attic. Can't say my family has ever had a bad interaction with a WWE superstar.

I have done many signings at this point. Can't remember any that just made me hate anyone but here are some of my best and worst stories. *Million Dollar Man. Me and my brother waited in line for an hour and a half to get an old WWE magazine signed. When my brother asked him to do the laugh he just kept his head down and shook his head no. Rude *went to a huge signing with all kinds of wrestlers. Waited all day for Scott Hall who cancelled! But it was made a little better by Kevin Nash coming out and apologizing for him *Jake the snake kept mooning everyone. * I went to an NWO reunion only to get Eric Bischof as I already had all the other guys. The line for Bischof goes by X-pack table. He starts talking to me and reaches over the table and shakes my hand and asks my name. He then sits back down and starts rummaging through a backpack. Then it's my turn to go to Bischof so I get my stuff signed and start to leave when I hear my name screamed at me. I turn around and there's X-pac with a signed photo with my name and he hands it to me free of charge and tells me enjoy the rest of the show. *When me and my brother were young we were at a show. Raven walks up and slaps my brother in the chest so hard he has an asthma attack and says "hey how bout a picture". I will never forget this cuz our mom was with us and she cussed Raven out it was sooooo funny seeing that larger then life extreme icon shrink and apologize. *few years back me and my brother had a chance to meet The Ultimate Warrior. It was really amazing. It was one of his last signings as two years later he passed . We waited in line forever but then stepped behind the curtain. Just us him and the photographer. He was in full make up and happy as could be. He talked to us for half an hour telling us stories. Got right in our faces to show us how intense him and macho man got. *me and my brother are both younger dudes compared to what you normally see at signing. I'm 26 now and he's 21 so a few years back when we met Lex Luger we got up to him and he looks at us and says "wait you kids know who I am?" In a joking way. He was shocked when we started rattling off all the different stuff he's done. *I met the Bella and had my niece with me. She was 5 at the time and they went on and on about how beautiful she was and asked me to take a picture of them with her with their phones and mine. They even came and found her after they finished signing and started talking to her and asked her who her favorites were and Nikki looked amazed when they asked who her favorites were and she said Alicia, Bella twins, natty Bret hart's niece, AJ, Dusty Rhodes and kaitlyn.

Never had a bad experience. But notably nice guys were..
- Mason Ryan. Awesome dude, really nice.
- John Morrison was really nice, too.
- James Storm was one of my favourites. He was really happy and funny. I felt like I'd know him my whole life.
- Magnus was really cool.
- David Otunga was a nice guy, he also gave me bodybuilding tips, lol.

I went to my first signing about a week ago and it was great. Met Bret Hart and he signed my WMXXX elite. He was really nice and signed in pink for me when I asked if he would mind. Also met Gangrel and Matt Hardy. I didn't get an autos from them as I didn't want to pay but they were awesome especially Gangrel. I told him I was a big fan of his and always liked darker characters. He smiled and said they are fun to play and thanked me for coming out. I talked UNC basketball with Matt for a few minutes. I can also confirm with many others that Brodus Clay/Monstrous BC/Tyrus is a douche. He stopped stuffing his face long enough to fist bump but wouldn't make eye contact or give anymore than a one or two word answer to any questions while also keeping his headphones on the whole time. Eh, I wasn't there to see him anyway I want to see the Hitman and Gangrel and they didn't disapoint

I got autographs from the Rock and Owen Hart at a free RAW ticket selling event thing, maybe 98. Owen Hart was nice but seemed really tired/worn out. The Rock didn't pay any attention, thought he was a dick. Met Shane McMahon before a Raw around the same time, he was insanely nice talked to me and my friend for a while. Met Norman Smiley before a Nitro in 99, he was also insanely nice and talkative. As a whole a lot of nice experiences, I was a kid so maybe that is why they were nice. I can't believe dudes can be dicks when you are paying for an autograph, all the guys I met were nice and I wasn't paying a dime.
