Booker T's PWA held it's 12th show last night in Beaumont, Texas. The main event was Christian Cage vs. Booker T. And I was front row next to the aisleway.
They had an awesome match, with Christian stalling the for the first few minutes and grabbing the mic and talking some trash to the crowd. Total heelness at it's best.
Booker T won the match after about 15 minutes with the axe kick.
A tradition of every PWA show is for $5 you can purchase a ticket voucher to meet and greet the special guests they bring in, with the $5 going towards the Booker T Fights For Kids Foundation.
I decided to buy a ticket and meet Christian Cage. Extremely nice, down to earth guy. Even took the time to engage in a small conversation with him. He marked out for my Instant Classic TNA shirt (the newer one that looks like an old flyer).
I told him "It's an honor to meet you after all these years, I've been enjoying you since you won the WWF Light Heavyweight Title in your debut match." He seemed to be really appreciative of all the fans. I had him sign my Instant Classic DVD and he asked me what I thought of it and I told him "This is the best DVD TNA has put out, and that's not being biased, I'm looking you right in the eyes and telling you this." He smiled and asked me what I thought of the extra feature of the tour of his house. I told him it was hilarious about the Christian Cage doll with the Kevin Nash voice. I told him I was jealous of his indoor pool and that made him laugh. Before I left I told him I had a quick question to tell him, and he says "Go right ahead, man." I ask him "If you could wrestle anyone you haven't wrestled yet, dead or alive, who would it be?" He thought about it for a second. I thought he'd come with a quick answer just to get me outta there, but after a few seconds he said "If anyone, it'd be Ricky Steamboat, as he was one of my favorites growing up. " I told him "A match between you two would be just like your moniker, an Instant Classic." He then gave me a big smile and we posed for a photo. I did the E & C 5 second pose. He laughed and did his own little pose. I then told him "Thank you for coming to Texas." He replied with "Pleasure's all mine, see ya soon!"
Now I've had my fair share of wrestlers who were nice people to me, but Christian Cage takes the cake.
Thanks to whoever read this all. I didn't even expect this to be this long haha.
