A wrestling dream that was almost a reality

[ohiofan1]

My wrestling dream has been to meet Beth Phoenix in person. She has been my favorite Diva/wrestler as a whole since 2007. I've always been attracted to muscular athletic women, and Beth has always been my favorite. Sure, I could pick Natalya or Kaitlyn (see sig), but Beth has always been my #1. She is like an idol to me and she shows that women can be beautiful and have muscles as well. I just love the fact that Beth dares to be different from most people. Plus, she is most attractive Diva imo and a great wrestler as a bonus.

I went to Wrestlemania this year in hopes to meet Beth. I made a mistake by not going to the Wrestlemania Art Show as that is really the best place to meet her, but I didn't want to pay all that money. She was scheduled for two Axxess apperances, both of which I was going to.

The first one, she was participating in the THQ challenge. I had originally planned to meet the Tough Enough trainers first, then go ringside to meet her. Sadly, a friend of mine really wanted Christian's autograph so I was trying to be nice and decided to go in his line to get it. I was lucky to get back in the TE trainers line because I still wanted to meet Booker T and Trish. By the time I was done, she was long gone.

The second session, she was no where to be found. I know there is the "talent subject to change" rule, but I made of list of every person that I wanted to meet at Axxess and I met them at that session.

Fast Foward to today, Raw is in Columbus for Labor Day, so I decided to camp out by the parking lot hoping for wrestlers to come out. I met Nunzio, Charles Robinson, and Justin (the black ref). I even got a picture with Vickie, JTG, Derrick Bateman, and John Morrison. Eventually, Beth showed up and parked her car. We was like 10-20 feet away from her screaming to come to us, but she said sorry as she was in a rush. This was such a downer for me, I nearly wanted to cry because I was inside. While I'm still glad I went, that moment was such a bummer.

I'm going to a houseshow in Youngstown the day before NOC, but I hear stories that the city/venue sucks and is impossible to meet anyone

I'm always scared that since Beth is somewhat the "oldest" Diva, her times in WWE are nearing. I have (and still) been so furious at WM 28 being in Miami because of one man (you know it was). If it was in Toronto, I could have made it and went to the Art Show and meet Beth there. I'm just not sure she will still be in WWE by the time WM 29 happens

Hopefully it will work out for you man.

As long as CM Punk and Beth are dating and she's not a bitch like Melina. Then shes good.

Says who? The almighty internet? The same omnipotent entity that claimed she was demanding $3k plus airfare and a hotel for independent bookings which got debunked?


But Beth will probably be in the company for a long while. It can be quite a chore to try to meet wrestlers sometimes, but don't worry if she leaves WWE before you have a chance to meet her. If she does independent bookings or appearances after leaving WWE (which wouldn't surprise me) you could still meet her. If not, you may want to set up a pilgrimage to the next major wrestling appearance that she's guaranteed to be at. That's all I can think of, at any rate.

Hang in there and don't give up. The guy I wanted to meet more than anyone in the business was Bobby Heenan, and with all the health problems he's had at various points over the years, long periods where he didn't make appearances, and general lack of events I could travel to, I didn't think I'd get the chance.

Last month, I met him.
