Times when you have met wrestlers...

[edgehead]

Who all have you met and what were your experiences?

Mine:
Met Thrasher twice. Once I had a sign that said "Thrasher Is My Hero!" and an indy show. He grabbed it and held it up. The whole place started booing. Then the other guy in the ring grabbed it and threw it in the crowd on the other side.

Ron Killings (He was K-Krush in Memphis) -Met him twice. He told me to Shut Up while he was on the mic. The second time he told me that he was about to debut with Road Dogg on WWF. A few weeks later he did.

Jerry Lawler- Got his autograph

Shawn Michaels, Raven, Jerry Lawler, The Kat, Mean Street Posse- Met them at an autograph signing.

Raven (The second time)- Met him after a wrestling show in I-Hop. He was reading a comic book at his table. Cool guy.

There may be more....

Really? That's odd because most of the people I know that have met him say he's a really nice guy.

Buff Bagwell: He worked an OCW show in October. Was extremely friendly. Walked around & conversed with the crowd. Took pictures with people. Shook hands with people. I took a picture with him & he autographed it. Charged $10 but that was ok. My friend talked to him about some movie he was in where he got killed by a monkey with a nailgun or something. Buff was happy to talk about it & laughed about it. Real down to earth guy.

Traci Brooks: She worked a show with OCW in November. I didn't get her autographed but she posed with me in a picture. She put down what she was doing to do so. She talked to me & my friend for a few minutes. She complimented my hat & said she didn't like my friend's hat, which was a WWE beanie. Haha. I hope to meet her again if she comes by again.

Roddy Piper-Super nice,friendly guy, seemed to be as greatful to meet me as I was to meet him, hugged me like i was apart of his family-truly a great man and day

Hillbilly Jim-very nice guy too, talked t him about the Wrestling Album a lil and he signed two autographs for me

Mick Foley-a packed autograph signing after he spoke at a local college, barely had time to talk to him

I'm meeting Mickie James this Saturday!!!!!!!!

[Thread Pirate Roberts]

Taker : f***ing awesome guy i talked with him for about a 1/2 hour at an airport once.
We talked old school wrestling mostly and his knowledge of the past was quite extensive.

Shawn Michaels. This was in '99 during his second "slump". His last match had been the title match at WM14, and oddly enough that's the picture I had him sign. He was only there to get paid, he wasn't very friendly. He wasn't rude, he just wasn't very friendly. He didn't have much to say when I congratulated him on his performance at WM12; "Yeah." was all he could say. :/

Chase Stevens. One-half of The Naturals.....the blonde half. Great guy, great performer. A class act.

Damn, I haven't met many...

[Ben Wyatt]

Cena: At a Redsox game. He was easily the nicest famous person I've ever met. I cant stress what a down to earth person he was

Luger: He was a pretty friendly guy. Took a few min to talk to a few of us

Tim White: Not a wrestler per se, but a very nice guy.

X-pac/1-2-3 Kid/whatever: total assclown

[Deleted]

N&M were making an appearance less than an hour's drive from where I live, but I was completely busy that day. Didn't get to meet them. Damn. Although, there was Mike Jones. He seemed somewhat friendly. A little interested, but a little on the uncharismatic side of things as well. Yeah, he appears here every so often. "VIRGIL: WRESTLING SUPERSTAR." Least it's better than meeting nobody.

[Klutch]

The Harlem Heat and Dave "evad" Sullivan, back in Atlanta in the parking lot of the CNN Center.

funny story some begger came and tried to get some money from Booker and Stevie. All around all 3 guys were really nice. Dave even had his rabbit with him, guess he really wanted to stay in character.

[Doctor Tull-eus S. Venture]

Jeff Hardy - very gracious and friendly

Matt Hardy - Complete asshole.

Warrior, Bagwell, Rodimer and Goldberg were jackassed to me when I met them.

Austin, Taker, the Von Erichs, Trips, HBK, Lawler, Raven, Billy Gunn. Jerry Lynn, RVD, Jim Mitchell, Mikey Whipwreck and, Sandman were awesome.

Jim Ross is a saint. He spent 30 minutes talking to me at the airport one time.

Savage, Hogan and, Nash were all swamped so I couldn't really give a good assessment of them.

Hillybilly Jim was nice but, I was dissapointed he wasn't in overalls. I don't know why.

[willywonka666]

what was that story of a fan who met Rick Rude, but security tried to block them off, and Rude went to meet them anyway... mighta been someone here

[Hemmeorrhage]

Scott "Flash" Norton in the Atlanta airport. Really nice guy. Took time to talk even though he was obviously in a rush to catch a plane.

[heffer111]

i actually met mic foley at epcot a few years back, he was with his kids, really nice as can be, to be honest, i didn't talk to him, i saw him, and then we both locked eyes, and he gave me a head nod, like a "thanks for letting me spend time with my kids", i really honestly believe he'd remember that exact moment, something was really weird about it, how we both just acknowlegded each other

[bobolebowski]

i met batista, shelton benjamin, randy orton, edge, and christian at the airport there were all really cool guys except orton....he was mean as hell

then i met big show at hooters one time

Everyone was real cool.

Sat behind Jake the Snake at a movie theatre in Taunton, MA, in '96 or so. Sadly, the film was KINGPIN (that hideous bowling movie with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray).

True story: during the movie Jake and his friend were laughing loudly. The whole time I was pissed off at him. When we left, my brother ran up to me frantically and said "OMG, DO YOU KNOW WHO WE WERE SITTING BEHIND?!?" We saw Jake exiting, and signing an autograph for a movie attendant. I literally ran out of the theatre. To this day, I don't know why I did that.

My dad met Foley twice, in totally random day-to-day situations, both during times I should have been with him. The first was at a Mets game, where he got Foley's autograph for me (he never told me he had tickets, so I went to a friends house after school and no one bothered to inform me for a few hours), and again at a Thanksgiving parade in Toms River, NJ, where his van pulled up at a light and my dad gave him a pretzel (he's an occasional pretzel vendor) and apologized for making him leave Shea Stadium (becuase after my dad talked to him, people realized, hey, its Mick Foley! so he left). Apparently, he was an awesome guy.

[NIXON]

Used to talk to Hogan on a daily basis when I worked security for the gated community he lived in.Mostly small talk. I was not allowed to speak to him about wrestling or anything or I would be fired(order from my boss, not from Hogan or anything.) Never had any problems with him. Linda was a piece of work though. Met Colt Cabana, Chris Hero and Jack Evans at BOLA and all were very nice guys.
