Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, should I take it. He is wrestling at a charity benefit for Relay for Life this weekend. Should I take the opportunity? I know I shouldn't expect a five star match of the year candidate. But it is a chance to see a star from the past.
Anything I should say to him or ask him any questions?

Go for it. He is a Hall of Famer, after all.

I was young when he was in his prime, so the only thing I knew him from tagging with HTM. When I met him a few years ago, I asked him how HTM was, he rolled his eyes and said "I dont know" there was an ackward silence between us, and I moved on to get Road Warrior Animal's autograph.

It's a charity, so some good will come out of it, too.

Ask him why he looks like an old lesbian version of triple h. ;D

Ask him how Don Fargo is doing. Don Fargo. Wow. IIRC, he had these swastika tattoos? Was that him?

I met him once. He's in his 80s and looks like a dirty, ugly 40. Seemed friendly enough.

Well, I met The Hammer today. Tried to talk to him, whilst I was getting the autograph, he didn't even look up from the table, just asked who to make it out to.

I've heard from people, can't remember if it was fans or someone else from the business, that said Valentine just isn't a very social guy, so it's always awkward for him doing signings. If true, I can understand that, it would be hard for me to do something like that and talk to fans. Still, never a fun experience from the fan's standpoint.

Yeah, my friend met him at a charity show at the neighboring school's high school gym. (Then he apparently went to the neighboring county to see the matches again.) His dad and him were big into the late 80's wrestling scene and they said Valentine was "half a dick" around the kids. If I ever met him, I'd wanna be wearing this shirt. Actually, I need to get one made regardless.

You should say you're proud to meet the man who broke Wahoo's leg or something, just to see if he's surprised that would be what he's remembered by you for.

If I met Valentine I'd tell him I've always liked his face plant better than Flair's. I just found more realistic and cooler looking.
