I met Mason Ryan & Drew Mcintyre when they were working in ASW over here, because my friends was training to be a wrestler & I was gonna manage him.
I also played Call of Duty with Tyler Black. At least, I think it was him. It sounded like him & had his name as a GT.

Met John Legend before a show without realizing it was him. He was playing a concert at a casino here in KC and me and my bro were there just to play at the arcade and catch a movie. Shook his hand, said hi, he asked how I was doing ("good"), and I asked him ("fine, doin fine"), and that was it. Then my brother let me in on who it was.
My older bro used to work airline security years ago and met Hulk Hogan. Got his autograph on a piece of TP even. No joke. He met a bunch of those guys, but all he can recall was him and Big Show.
He also met George Brett and got told to f*** off when he asked for an autograph.
This is a lesser wrestling star but Moondog Spike always came in to the grocery store I used to work at. I'd talk to him only passively, never really had a conversation with him.
And I know this is more a local Kansas City thing (though she is now doing stuff in Vegas too) but Holly Starr's mom used to be a teacher at my high school. I met her before she got into television, and even hung at their house (cast party after a school play).

When I was 19 I was living in a teen transitional housing program & I clicked with one of the counselors so much that she wanted to adopt me. Of course she wasn't much older then me so all the other residents & counselors thought we were sleeping together. We weren't but to this day I wonder if she actually did have feelings for me since she was physically(hugs,kisses,etc) affectionate to me.
Anyway,I got sidetracked. Her cousin is Queen Latifah.

I forgot a couple. Me and my ex around week 2 of the NFL season went to a charity dinner as part of the press and did some interviews with some Kansas City Chiefs players for our radio station on-campus. I even met Mike Tirico from ESPN there.
Also, (and this is doubted by EVERYONE but she sticks to this) my old Elementary School counselor, Mrs. Lincoln, is a descendant of Abraham Lincoln. Apparently it's been researched and double-checked and referenced every which way. She has a verified copy of her family tree that shows the connections through generations and everything.

I'm actually a very close cousin to David Hasselhoff. 'Course, I've never met him per se, but who pays attention to those kind of details anyways.

talked to Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal of guns n' roses quite a bit in 2006 he always was really quick to respond to whatever you typed. he gave me some guitar advice and some stuff to learn. really cool guy.
had lunch with former cubs pitcher Fergie Jenkins at harry carry's. he was doing an autograph signing there later on that day, and i decided to have lunch there. his table was near mine, and we started talking about canadian football. and then he invited me over to his table to eat. it was a nice conversation. we took a pic with the bust of harry thats in the place.
got to walk around wrigleyville with Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman in 2008 and just talk about random things.
got to be a roadie for Doyle of the Misfits new band Gorgeous Frankenstein at a show they did at Pop's in St. Louis. and got to talk to Doyle for a little bit. Dr. Chud was more open though and really really talkative. Goolsby was really cool as well. it was a fun 6 hours before they opened the doors to the public hangin with the band.
got fed by Jerry Only at a misfits show i showed up 5 hours early for. he was grilling some burgers at the back of the venu. i talked to Dez more then Jerry as he was busy cooking/fixing his bass. Dez was super cool though, talked about old horror movies and football. he told me when im in canada next that HMV sells a box set of all of the hitchcock films as well as every ed wood film.

I met Jerry Lawler at the Foot Locker at the mall at State College before a Raw show. I shook his hand and got his autograph.
One of my best friends lives in NYC and knows the Hilfigers. He also knows the guy who sang Billy & Chuck's theme either through them or vice-versa fairly well, he actually fixed up a laptop for him. He's met an ass ton of celebrities over the past couple of years from Lynyrd Sknyrd to Alice Cooper to Christian Slater.

I go to college with Denzel Washington's daughter and Bono's daughter. Also at school, I met Haley Joel Osment. He has gotten chubby to say the least. Jesse Eisenberg was my camp counselor when I was little, and his sister Haley (the Pepsi girl) went to high school with me.
Angela Lansbury came up to my school to give a talk about her life. Numerous questions about Beauty and the Beast were to be had.
My dad is supposedly good friends with Chazz Palmintieri, but my dad tends to overexaggerate the people he knew when he lived in Brooklyn (he said he went to school with Scott Baio...)

Rick Nielsen (of Cheap Trick fame) used to regularly shop at the comic store I used to work at. Rob Van Dam once stopped in there too, but I had already left for the WWE show that night. That sucked to know that the next day.

When Creed disbanded and the other guys formed Alter Bridge, I jumped on board with creating the first fansite for them. For our troubles, Mark Tremonti's brother (who also works for the band as a "fan liason") was in pretty solid contact with me for a while, keeping me up to date on news and stuff while they got the first album ready to go. He even called me one day just to play a few of the tracks to me over the phone I'm possibly related in some way to Jim and John Harbaugh (the NFL coaches). That was my Grandma's maiden name, and they're from Ohio where some of our relatives came from. It's kind of a long shot, but it's our little family running joke that they might be our cousins or something whenever we see them on TV.
