Got a new phone over the weekend. i'm going to pass on the Hamilton Con since i met most of the wrestling guests btw does anyone know how is SMASH Wrestling new venue? i'm so happy they ditched the 227 Lounge since it is such a dump At the Canlan Sportsplex? It was okay, I guess. The thing is, the whole plae is literally about sports. There were section for each individual sport separated by fences. For example, Smash had a section, which was right next to the soccer section, and I think the tennis (?) section as well.

I have know idea who that is lol No idea buddy. I even tried google and came up with nothing. I wonder if he made a mistake. Haku, and the powers of pain would be awesome to meet! I don't see the tonga kid or sonjay Dutt anymore though. Also still seems weird to me that the dr fleas website says absolutely nothing about these signings.

Sorry for the late post. I know some of you guys are mmpr fans. Johnny yong Bosch ( the 2nd black ranger ) is doing a signing in toronto this weekend. I have some family stuff going on tomorrow so not sure if I can go. Also I decided to skip the toy show/ rocky johnson signing this weekend. I already met him and don't really have anything to get signed plus I REALLY need to save for the Hamilton com next weekend. unpluggedexpo.com/power-ranger-celebration/

So I met Rocky Johnson today a Dr. Fleas. In the morning, I called and asked if Rocky Johnson really was going to be there and the person who responded said that they have no idea. Half an hour later, I email them and they replied saying that he will be there from 12 to 3. We got there at 1:15. Traffic was insane! When we found where he was signing, Andrew saw us and joked: "you're fired! You guys are late!" Lol.. We ask him how much autographs are and he asked what I was going to get signed. I showed him my figure and book and he said that Rocky is charging $25 on figures and $15 for the book. He also said that for $10 more, they'll take a picture, print it out and he'll sign it as well. Kinda pricey, so I stopped to think because I also need money for next weekend. He told us that since we go to most of his signings, he'll get Rocky to sign the book, figure and pose for a picture for $40. I thought that was an okay deal so I went with it. There was even a handler there writing down every single thing that was getting signed. Andrew told the handler and Rocky: "these people always go to my signings so I'm going to give them a better deal" When I went up to Rocky, he asked for my name. I gave him my white sharpie and told him my name was Alex. He told me to spell it and so I did. I spelt it twice actually, because he couldn't hear me. He responded: "ohhhh 'Alex!' I thought you said something like 'Alan'!" As he signed my figure he mentioned: "this is a really nice pen!". After he signed it, he joked: "now you can sell this online for $250!" I laughed and he continued "where did you get this from and how much did you pay?" I told him I got it online for $15. (I actually got it in Michigan for $10). He said "oh that's not bad! Now you can sell it for $250!" My dad joined the conversation: "oh c'mon! It has to be at least 300!" Rocky responded: "oh you're right! I was being too cheap! He then signed my encyclopedia. His signature is the 40th one in it. After he signed it, he made the same joke about selling it for a lot of money. I responded by saying, "well it does have 40 autographs in it". After, we then posed for a picture. The Goodwins (Andrew and his wife) were having camera problems. Rocky told me jokingly "they don't know what they're doing!" The camera finally worked and Andrew's wife went to print the picture out. While we waited, we went to check out their booth. They have a list of "Up Coming Appearaces"... I don't think they know how to spell. The list is basically the same as the post on that other forum. My picture was printed and I took it to get signed. (Posted below.. I cropped myself out). As he was signing it, I notice a ring on his finger. It was the wwe hall of fame ring! I ask him about it and he showed it to me. Really cool! It was really fun meeting Rocky! Really nice guy! Of course, I went value villaging after. I picked these up: One location actually had like 4 Mattel figures in one bag for $5. Why didn't I buy them? Because a kid found them before me! I saw the bag of toys in his hand and he saw I had a wrestling shirt on lol.. I looked out for him in case he puts them down, but it looked like he wasn't going to give it up, so I gave up lol

Here's the Up Coming Appearaces poster: They were still advertising Rikishi and Rosey, but it was put on a separate poster.

I remember you mentioning that a while back lol. The funny thing is that before that Value Village, I wanted to go to a Wal-Mart to develop some pictures. If I hadn't done that, then I might have gotten them lol. Oh well, I need the money anyways

^^Looks like you had a great time champ. I'm glad that the signing went ahead as planned. Hopefully this means that the other signings will be taking place.
