Have You Ever Seen a WWE Superstar Out in Public?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Just curious and what were they doing? Did you approach them or do the rationale thing and just let them be?

I haven't, but figured what with them being actual people and all plenty must've. The closest I've come was just seeing guys out in public before indie shows, right by the venue though so it probably doesn't count.

One was Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Just hanging in a parking lot by himself. I don't recall anyone around him and as memory best serves he was pretty much just standing there, not smoking or on his cell phone or anything.

Another one was Jimmy Jacobs. That one was pretty awkward. I had arranged to meet up with another indie wrestler before the show, but he was running late. So I was just waiting outside the venue where Jimmy Jacobs was smoking on the concrete stairs of the venue. I didn't want to bother him, but it got pretty awkward as we just sat in silence for like 10, 15, maybe even 20 minutes or more. Mostly just us with the occasional indie guy walking into the venue. I probably should have said at least, "Hi" or something, but after you're sitting with a stranger for like 5 minutes, let alone longer it gets even weirder trying to make small talk. Too bad, I've actually listened to his music video trilogy about a million times (listening to it now actually)

That may've just been a hobo out in his yard with nowhere else to go, man.....

Mr Kennedy was in an airport bitching and moaning about how his carry-on wasn't too large (it totally was, it was almost twice the size they allow). Even if I was a fan i wouldn't have approached him. He was a total asshole to those poor employees.

Ran into Big Show after a live event back in 2000. He was at a truck stop waiting for the cook to finish a special order. He was talking to anybody that approached him and seemed very happy. He bought ice cream for a little girl that was totally flipping out over meeting him. He seemed like the definition of a "down to earth celebrity". One of the reasons I have a hard time baggin' on him even when he's doing stuff I don't like. The dude just seems to "get it".

I've met Chris Masters twice. Both times he's been a perfect gentlemen and so kind. He's a classy guy.

Does the Big O count? He bartends at a bar I can walk to from my house.

This was before he signed with WWE, but I saw Kevin Owens at a house show in Montreal back in early 2012, as I was far enough that it would have been obvious that I was walking over with the sole purpose of talking to him and he was with his family, I decided to do the smart thing and leave them be. Also, wasn't hard to realize it was him as he was rocking a PWG shirt.

It wasn't in public but I went to a Scott Steiner Q & A in March where I saw him spill his beer down himself. It was definitely the must funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

The Kennedy story doesn't surprise me one bit.

Show and Masters seem like nice guys from what I've heard.

About 3 weeks ago, I saw someone in an airport giving me this really nasty, miserable stare. I thought to myself "Who is this asshole and what's his problem?".
I looked closer and it was The Honky Tonk Man.

I saw Tommy Dreamer walking down the street a few years ago when he was in my town for an indy show he was working. I didn't say hi because a) I don't bother celebrities in general when I see them and b) I didn't have the heart to tell him I wouldn't be attending the show because the card was so weak that I'd rather sit at home and watch tv.

I was walking out of the bathroom at Kroger as Davari was walking in. Didn't say anything to him.
A lot of guys live in Spring, TX just north of Houston. I have a friend who delivers pizza and has delivered to Shelton Benjamin, Khali, and MVP.

I saw Tazz wandering the aisles of Home Depot on Long Island while wearing sun glasses indoors . He had an angry expression on his face , I didnt approach he seemed to be very annoyed about something .

My girlfriend ran into Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Del Rio, Baron Corbin, and Charles Robinson at the airport. She got a pic with Becky. They were waiting for planes. Not WWE but one time I sat next to Bobby Dempsey at Chipotle. He was eating a burrito bowl with his gf

I saw Matt Hardy at a Target once. He's surprisingly short.

I walked up to him and couldn't think of what to say, so I said "I just wanted to say I'm a big fan and I really like your finishing move." He was just like "Thanks, man."

While working at Earls Court in London before a Smackdown taping in 2007 I had Elijah Burke walk past me and tell me to watch my head(I'm very tall) as there was a low scaffold. I also saw UK wrestler/promotor Alex Shane at Paddington station in 2006 buying a coffee. He had tons of baggage with him and kind of moved his stuff out of the way when he saw me approaching.

Back when I was still working convenience stores, Steve Blackman and someone I didn't recognize (likely a friend and not a wrestler) came into my store. I only remember they bought a pack of gum. WWF was doing a house show in town (Tyler) that day.

If you're talking off-duty/not working, I met Paige and Seth Rollins on back to back nights in Chicago bars and restaurants last year.

April 12, 2000 at the Ice Palace in Tampa. they had just done a Smackdown taping at the arena the night before. I guess since Big Show is from the area and they didn't have another show for 4-5 days that he stayed in town. It was the night of the KISS Farewell Tour in Tampa. I was in the lobby waiting for the show to start and here comes The Big Show with about 8 people and buys a whole block of tickets for his whole crew.

DDP was buying swim shorts when I worked in a Billabong store. Very friendly. I work in the SNL museum and Charlotte came in, very nice, took time to talk to employees that recognized her and even would look at the name tags to say their names while talking, a little thing, but showed she was interested in talking to fans. I worked at Best Buy a long time ago, Bubba Ray came in, not friendly but not a dick either.

I'm from Long Island, my Dad is a Garbage Man and for 4 years Mick Foley's house was on his route. he was out getting his paper when my dad was working and my Dad asked/begged if me and my brother could come by and meet him. I got to sit and eat an ice cream cone with him and Noelle, he is the most awesome celebrity ever in my opinion.

Oddly enough, Mr.Kenndy and Randy Orton came into the local McDonalds together back in the day. Kennedy was nice, but Orton basically said he wanted his food and to be left alone. Everyone gave him his space when they saw he wasn't into interacting with anyone at the time.
