Wrestlers You've Met

[bane]

I don't have the stories that you guys do that's for sure.

Hulk Hogan He was filming No holds barred near my house. He signed my WWF magazine and said "here brother" Wish I still had it.

Iron Sheik, Big Bully Busick, Sting, Lex Lugar, Sid vicious They were all working out at my gym. WWF must've been in town. This was in 92.

Chris... Cannot remember this guy's name. Was HUGE. He also worked out at my gym. My father and I asked him how to get big like him. He laughed and said you have to eat when you are full. He was featured in WWF magazine a few times. I am having a mental fart as to his last name though. I will do a search right now...Ok..My computer sucks.

Buff Bagwell Saw him coming out of another gym.

I see NOTHING in Mexico now...Wish someone would accidently do a show here and walk into my cafe...

Sadly none. However, at the ROH shows I went to I've worked my way down to the entrance ramp, just to give Colt Cabana a high five. And, Colt's working some Indy shows around me, that I'm very excited for.

I met many wrestlers through the years and all have come off as being nice and down to earth except for Shane Douglas who came off as a total jerk. The first time I met him he was on the phone the whole time during a WCW signing and then the next time I met him he was more concerned with talking to Axl Rotten than talking to the fans and would not sign my picture of him as Dean Douglas, which I figured I would get since I already had a picture signed of him as Shane.

Ric Flair:
Met him a few times, the last on my 38th Bday. When he asked what I was doing today I told him I'd come to see The Naitch on my 38th and he said "well I'm meeting you going on 4 years old brother, so god bless you". He was in great form and was typical Nature Boy.

HBK:
Met him in Long island at one of Ted Dibiase Sr's cards which as hel in a church, strangely enough. He was very quiet and polite and then I found out he had ben up24 hours straight and was leaving in 2 hours to catch an inetrnational flight for the WWE.

Chris Jericho:
Met him in upstate NY and I was wearing a Transformers Decepticon Hockey Jersey that he liked and we began talking about the new movie. I asked him when he was coming to WWE and joked that "someone needed to teach Cena to wrestle" and he laughed and said "Hey man, I've tried!"

Ultimate Warrior:
Met him at Ringfest and watched him schmooze the crowd. Later I found out he did some extremely unprofessional things to the promoter of the vent while he was a "bathroom break" that legitimize all of the negatives you hear about him. He came back out for the second half of the show and the crowd was none the wiser as to the antics he had just pulled back stage.

John Cena:
Met him just as he was turning face and told him" I really am starting to like your character more now than you were rapping everything as the heel, you're really doing a great job." he says "what you see is what you get, that's me, there is character, love it or hate it.." OOOk.

Kane & Marlena:
Bumped into them in Hartsfield Airport. Looked up and there was Isaac Yankem (at that time) and Marlena in these hideous faded acid washed jeans with rips lol.

Kurt Angle:
Quiet, calm & professional.

Mick Foley:
Ean inot him at a Taco Bell in Middletown NY prior to an ECW show...this was before he started writing books and coming out as a friendly guy. I was amazed at how cool he was.

Christian:
Met him in this dump of a roller skating rink at a signing. The photographr lost the film and markers so I sat against the ring with him for 10 mins just shooting the breeze. he had just come to TNA.

Christopher Daniels:
Met him at a small NJ TNA show..he was amazingly down to earth and cool.

Batista:
Quiet, seemed bored, but tried to be polite.

Randy Orton:
This was during the Evolution days. he was really cool, posed for photos and was awesome.

Buddy Roberts:
He choked me up as he was genuinely happy to talk wrestling and marked over us giving him the Freebird pound handshake LOL. Than, we walked him to the bar.

Arn Anderson:
As emotional for me as meting Flair. I told him I thought the wrong guy had inductd Flair into the HoF and he said, "No the right man did it, I'm cool with it, Ric knows how I feel about him, so no worries."

Tully Blanchard & JJ Dillon:
Amazing. Have met both several times. It's hard to believe Tully has changed so much. Both were cool but JJ was one of the best I've ever met.

Hulk Hogan:
Not much time at this sighting, he & I are both Freemasons and I said something to him that only we would recognize and he smiled. he looked to be hurting badly.

Jeff Jarrett:
Polite and seemed surprised about explaining how important it was for me to have sign my big gold belt.

R truth:
Met him at a high school gym waaay before he went back to WWE. he was such a down to earth guy that I have been ever since.

Goldberg:
He was really cool and friendly. Stopped to sign for kids in the hallway and was very talkative.

Tommy Rich:
Wow..old school, friendly, down to earth. Fun to talk to.

Stan Hansen:
He is one of my all time favs and I was in awe to see him so calm LOL. He said he doesn't watch wrestling anymore and wasn't as wild as he used to be.

Harley Race:
True professional and a great guy.

Ricky Steamboat:
see Harley. What an amazing person.

The Missing Link:
Met at a signing prior to his death, in character. he comes up to me and starts punching me in the stomach kidding with me and pounding my chest. One of the coolest experiences ever, all while in character.

Kamala:
This was before he was signed to his Legends deal with WWE. he had no clue about the wrestling toy line so we spoke about it for a good twenty minutes and he was thankful and surprised that people wanted a Kamala toy LOL.

Scott Steiner:
Cool guy


This is all for now..I collect signatures on the back of my big gold belt. I would kill to met Muta one day.
