Day 1 of NFCC in the books and day 2 coming up. Feels like a wasted con in some respects but nice to be on vacation. I'll be there all day tomorrow. Can't wait to meet King Kong Bundy.

TRU Winnpieg has Defining Moments Razor Ramon, and the new(er) Wrestlemania heritage 2-packs. They had an even split of 3 Daniel Bryan/Mysterio and 3 HHH/Roman Reigns.
Razor was $29.99 and the 2-packs were $27.99

Bundy was awesome. He asked about my WWE 50 book. Asked who had signed it. Impressed by the handful of autographs, I pulled out my flag and he said "I will pay YOU to sign this". Found him a spot and I asked how much, he said no charge. Iron Sheik will not be making the show this year.

Iron Sheik will not be making the show this year. Wow. That's awesome. I'm really looking forward to seeing him tomorrow. Too bad sheik cancelled. I also read that Manu Benett from Arrow cancelled as well. My brother sent me this snapshot regarding hamilton comic con. Flair, the powers of pain and more. Looks awesome so far.

Just discovered that.
My recommendation. Go early. Line ups were slightly crazy for Hoff, Linda Blair and a few others. Linda is such a nice lady.
Undecided if I'm going to swing by tomorrow and if I do, it may not be for long.

I have to meet 12-13 people but I'm anticipating big lines for 2 or 3. I'm hoping that since it's the last day, everyone is there on time and signs right away.

I attended the Smash Wrestling show in Etobicoke tonight to meet Samoa Joe. I got there right when the doors opened, but Joe was not signing yet, so I had to wait until intermission. The show was GREAT. Lots of fun spots/matches, so the wait wasn't too bad. At intermission, they had a deal where you could take a picture in front of the stage with Joe for $10. I got in line for that, since I did want a picture, and I figured I'd ask him to sign after the picture. When it was my turn, he was happy to do so. I had given him a silver marker (which didn't turn out too well), and he started signing away at my items. I first had a program out with some DVD covers as bookmarks. He signed the program, and DVD covers really quick. Because of that, he didn't press the marker hard enough (which was expected considering we were standing), and he ended up partially signing over Sabin's autograph on one of the DVD covers. After he signed those, I brought out some magazines, which he started signing. Both Joe and the photographer said that there was a long line they had to go through, but Joe still smiled and signed. Meanwhile, you could hear some people in the audience yelling "that's awesome! he came prepared!". That comment was towards me which I thought was pretty funny. After he finished signing, I made sure to thank him, and I left. As I left, people were clapping and smiling at me.. some people even said "good job, man!". I thought that was really funny.. and no, those comments were not sarcastic lol I ended up getting 8 items signed, and a picture with Joe for $10, plus $20 admission. Not too bad.. The flash on the camera made it hard to see the autographs, but they look better in person.

Awesome autographs Champ! If anyone wants to see my Joe autographs from a few years ago they are in the autograph thread.
Chris Hero is doing a 3 hour match in Waterloo today.

Not wrestling figure related, but does anyone here collect Amiibo by any chance?
