I met one of of childhood heroes, Rob Van Dam at today’s Impact taping in Windsor, Ontario. Rob was doing an exclusive meet & greet. Originally, the meet & greet was one picture with Rob, a personalized 8x10, and 2 additional autographs. A few weeks ago, I asked if I could get more autographs for an extra few, and the owner was super cool with it and I could get 5 more autographs. I get a text saying to meet up with one of the greeters, and he tells me that I’ll be going last in the meet and greet because I have more items for RVD to sign. During the 1st segment of the taping, I get pulled out and the door opens with just RVD standing outside. I shake Rob’s hand and tell him about the stories of me visiting Battle Creek as a kid hoping I’d bump into him there, I talked about One Night Stand 2006, which he deemed as his favourite WWE moment, and I talked about the Ruthless Aggression figure I received by accident on Christmas a few years ago. My Mom originally bought me a CM Punk Basic off of a site, but a Ruthless Aggression RVD came in instead, and I actually liked the RVD Ruthless Aggression figure better, lol. I put notes on the items I wanted signed and what I wanted said on them, Rob was super nice, friendly, and fun to speak with. I asked him to take a video for my YouTube channel, and he was all for it. I got him to sign the following items in the pictures. By far my best experience with a wrestler.

Cool you got to meet him but why are so many of you obsessed with getting stuff signed? It doesn't increase the value, and it's such a weird request

Pretty Awesome! RVD is one of my all time faves. I was so happy when he finally made his way to WWE in 2001

His Jakks TNA figures are some of the most underrated figures to ever come out.

Autograph signings is a huge market and industry. It's just so strange to me. Like a signature has zero value. I'd rather a photo with the celebrity so people know it's actually real. Signatures are for contracts and cheques.

He was super nice when I met him. But for some odd reason when I went up to him, he said "You must be Joe", I was like no sir, I am John. It was like he knew who I was. Signed a bunch of stuff, and was laughing and being awesome to everyone. He was the best meeting I have had as well.
