Animal: I went to Niagara on Saturday and encountered Animal first. Went up to him, shook his hand and spoke to him about the autographs I wanted ($40 each). I purchased three combos worth ($60 each) and asked him about him & Hawk’s 2003 Raw return. Animal said that Vince would’ve been smart to have put the World Tag Team Championships on them that night because of the pop they received. Animal also said that the AWA and NWA were his favourite places to work. I asked him to use the red and blue paint markers, and he was cool with using them. I had a photo with the legendary shoulder pads as well. Killer Bees: Brian was late (lol), Jim was very talkative, (spoke to him for about 30 minutes and was really nice). Brian seemed a little annoyed to sign my mask and said it was a knock off. Jim told me before Brian showed up about Brian’s disdain for signing masks, but Jim told Brian to sign it for me lol. Sgt. Slaughter: Super cool to talk to! I had him sign my 1985 magazine and VHS. I also asked to to write “You’re a maggot” on my items as well. Then, he told me it was “Cobra Clutch day”, and posed for a picture. Amazing time meeting Slaughter. Paul Orndorff: Really didn’t talk much. I had to spell my name a few times for him (lol). Very quiet, however, very polite and nice. He looked very frail, and I hope he’s healthy. Undertaker: No personalization, which sucked for the autographs. Only three autographs as well. So me and my step-dad went together. I got to tell him he was my hero and the greatest of all time, and he thanked me for that. Very quiet, but very polite. Also, I think ‘Taker has the best signature in the business. Then, I had the photo op, which I got to do a face-to-face pose, and he held my custom championship. My goal was achieved: meet The Undertaker. Who knows if he’ll be in Ontario again Note: I also picked up an Unmatched Fury for Undertaker to sign, a Killer Bees mask, a 1977 program for “Big Time Wrestling” with Bruiser Brody on the cover, and I also picked up a February 2006 WWE magazine of Rob Van Dam (for when he comes to BCW in July). BCW stated to me that he would be doing a meet + greet, so I bought it.

Very cool stuff especially with the marker choices matching their attires. Also really good photo ops with you and the guys being "into it" I don't believe Paul Orndorff is doing too well but I'm really glad he can still make the conventions. I hope he enjoys them and knows how much he means to us fans and I hope if he is going through some bad times that still being out there at these shows brings him some joy. I'm glad Animal said he enjoyed AWA and NWA the most because outside of the first few months of each of his WWF runs, LOD really didn't do too much for me. But I would partly blame that on Hawk having his issues. I've met Animal and though he's usually pretty quiet he appears to be a genuine good guy though I'm sure he would like it more if Hawk were with him.

I originally wasn't going to get a photo with Paul, but to your point, I don't know how much longer he'll be doing them, so I said the heck with it and got the photo. I wish hawk was alive as well.
