I decided to post this up, to keep the other thread positive.
So anybody got any stories of meeting wrestlers who turned out to be grade A jackasses?
Not like catching them on a bad day, or they blew you off or soemthing. but legitimately came off like jerks when you met them.
The only one I can remember, not me, is that story where Ric flair went off on that Uk reporter for using insider terms when asking him questions.

I have heard that Undertaker is a real jerk and stays in character at all times. But thats what Jenna says.

Crash Holly was a real prick to me and two of my friends before a house show about 4 years ago. I mean, I know you shouldn't talk ill of the dead, but that's the only bad experience I've ever had meeting a wrestler.

We all ahve to remember the lives these people lead. They are on the road 300 days or more and are always hurt. We get in a bad mood when we dont get enough sleep, lets give them a break.

After a RAW show I ran into Marty Jannety and Al Snow when they were doing the whole New Rockers thing. I asked Marty for an autograph and he told me he was to sore to sign and then i think Leif Cassidy errrrrrrr Al Snow mumbled " F' off " or something like that. I laughed.
Then recently I ran into Ric Flair at a restaurant before a Raw show and anyone who would get within 5 feet of him he would just throw his hand in the air and just shoe them off.

Wow im glad I havent encountered some of this treatment. Jericho is the man a bunch of us fans spotted him after a RAW show and he treated us great and was pumped up when we started a big jericho chant for him. Everyone was nice to him and he treated us great in return and stayed around instead of just taking off like he could have.
The worst thing I saw that I wasnt a part of (I couldnt get there in time to actually be included) was watching test (still going with stacy at the time) blow off a bunch of fans wanting to see stacy (of course). This was while he was off tv but way before he got fired. Stacy and him were getting in his vehicle and he went as far as to blow through a redlight to ditch the fans. She didnt mind the fans but he got mad. Me and a couple of friends tried to catch up to the crowd (maybe 15 or 20 people) but im glad I didnt.

I didn't actually meet him but I was in a car with my parents and saw Kevin Sullivan walking across the street with some really short and hideous shorts on. Talk about a horror story.

Let's see, what stands out for Hart...
Ah yes, there's the ever popular story of Teddy inviting some fans to ride off with him in a limo after a show. Some fans were dumb enough to believe him, and ended up waiting all night for a limo that never came.

Well I have a "two sides of the coin" story.
Once I met Diamond Dallas Page on a reeeeeeeeeeeally bad day (or at least for him it must have been, it was during his oh so great WWE run). I said something to the effect of "Diamond it sucks you got beat by a chick" and he replied with a nice "F*** off" and something to the effect that I either go or he'd eat me. I'm not making that up.
About...six months ago I ran into him again, and he was the nicest person in the entire world, and even bought me a drink at a bar. I guess he just had a bad day after all.

Honestly, if he did that, I would so answer back "Why the hell are you doing that? I don't know you." f***ing with people who don't want to be f***ed with, even if it means physical injury, is ALWAYS fun. If he just did to people who would accost him, good, but if you pass near him and don't even notice he's there and does it, it's too f***ing funny. |

I met Virgil at a comic-con he tried to charge me 25 bucks for his autograph, after signing the pic and not telling me how much it was. I didn't even want an autoghaph in the 1st place, I just wanted to know where the Million Dollar Belt was. He started telling me, it cost 2,000 dollars to feed his dogs every month.

It wasn't too bad and got everyone a laugh. I was with my dad Jimmy Yangs bro (Who I did martial arts with) Jimmy Yang, his dad and sister.
I asked him if wrasslin was fake and he damn near broke my wrist (I was young and stupid) everyone laughed. It was about a year or so before the death of WCW

He started telling me, it cost 2,000 dollars to feed his dogs every month. *After laughing hard for several minutes* This may sound dumb to some people, and Virgil may have been telling the truth, but seriously, this is the funniest thing I've read in this site so far. |

Teddy Hart is a bad story completely. NOBODY wants this guy. I think I told Dvae in a thread about my Teddy Hart meeting, he made some story about him and Sabu being in a limo outside of a show after he wrestled, my buddy and I knew he said that to all the marks there to get them to leave for all the other matches, so we stayed inside and watched the rest of the show. Anyways we noticed that a ton of people were M.I.A and after the show when we went outside to go home there were like 40-50 people waiting for teddy to show up, and he never did obviously. Quite funny if you were there in person, but I got my pic taken with good ole Ted Hart that show so I had a good time. |

It'd be cool to hear the wrestler's side of the story, I'm sure they've had a couple of minor or major horror stories from fans(especially the divas) I always remember that fan that threw something at Nash (I think it was a rock)during that MTV thing and Nash jumped into the crowd. What a moron, he deserved the beatdown Nash gave him

After a WCW house show, my friends and I were talking to Lance Storm and Mike Awesome (Both super nice guys) when Vampiro came out. None of the people I was with cared cause none of them like Vampiro, but there were probably 4 or 5 kids out there, all around 7 or 8. They started asking for Vampiro's autograph and he said "Let me throw my bags in my car and I PROMISE I will come back and sign for you guys." With that....he went to his car......and drove away. That still pisses me off.
