Do any of u have any wierd connections to wrestlers or wierd ways you've met someone? I have 2 stories I can tell. First, I went to a wrestling clinic coached by Kurt Angles Olympic coach. And second, Chris Sabin stayed in my brothers best friend's house for 4 months when he was 16/17. His(my bros friend'S) dad is the 13-14 football coach in my area (Pinckney, MI) and he coached Sabin who is from here. He also was my coach last summer ;D So I've been to the house he lived in 4 six months repeatedly. Wait, This is Steven Mason, is'nt it? Apparently, me and Kurtista have met before. Sabin was my bro's best friend in High School.

I have a few:
-My middle school French teacher is actually Mike Rotundo's aunt. She knew I liked wrestling and casually mentioned she has a nephew who used to be a pro wrestler. I asked who, thinking it would be some nobody, and she said Mike Rotundo and that he was a champion or something in the 80s. Then I blurt out, "IRS!?!" and she's like, "I don't know." Once I showed her a picture of what the hell I was talking about she remembered and had a good laugh at his tax man getup.
-My mom works at Easton Hospital and knew Chris Kanyon when he worked there as a physical therapist while he was training to be a wrestler and working indies and stuff. I got his autograph before he was ANYBODY and, low and behold, he actually turned into somebody worth mentioning. My mom said he was one of the nicest guys she ever met.
-My high school librarian used to be a ring rat in the 70s. We had this old "Superstars of Wrestling" hardcover book from like 1988 in our library and I was paging through it one day and asked her if there were any more like it and she said no. Then she saw the cover and said, "Oh, I used to know him" and pointed to Ric Flair. We got to talking and she told me all these stories about how she and her best friend used to always go to all the local shows and would hang around the wrestlers and try and get with them. She was pretty embarrassed to tell me, but I got it out of her. Two interesting things: 1. Tony Atlas scared the crap out of her and 2. Ric Flair was the cream of the crop for all the rats back in the day. He was the one all the ladies wanted to be with. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
-My dad was once a bodyguard for The Undertaker and Paul Bearer at a signing he did at a mall in 1994 and I got to hold the urn and say, "ooooooooooooooo yeeeeesssssssssssssssssssss" for the two of them. ;D

Another one I just remembered...
In 1988, my dad was en route to Japan for company business, when the plane had to make a stayover in New Jersey. While there, the plane company gave the people access to the bar and what-not, where my dad met Bam Bam Bigelow. We even have his autograph on a napkin somewhere.

Haha believe this one or not.. After WWE Events my friends and I always go to the restaurant that the wrestlers hang out at.
After a Raw one year a wrestler stood up (can't remember who) and announced it was Tajiri's birthday. My friend stood up and started singing Happy Birthday to him. The whole restaurant joined in. Cool Stuff.
Also, last summer, we were hanging out in the wrestlers' hotel and another buddy of mine brought a video camera with him. John Cena came in (this was a few months after he won the US belt) my friend got the balls to ask him he he could say something for the camera. John busted out 5 minute freestyle (full of F bombs) just for us. Say what you want about that guy, but he definately does anything for fans. That was one of the coolest things ever until...
Last December We all went to an IWA MS show in Highland IN, headlined by New Jack. (this was also the show I met Candido at) ANyway, we all went to Steak N Shake afterwards (our post wrestling tradition) when New Jack and his buddy walk in. He sits at a table next to us and we start talking to him a little bit. Finally he gets up and just sits at the table with us!! We had dinner with New Jack!
Yeah he must be the most frightening guy in wrestling, but he's actually one of the funniest and coolest. Plus he was a total dick to some fat waitress, (he kept calling her the fat waitress so she coukld hear him) Up to this point, my dinner with New Jack rates up there as the coolest thing ever. Almost as cool as the time Uncle Jesse sang with the Beach Boys.

1) I went to school with Jim Neidhart's niece. She looks remarkably like him, of course without the beard. I was wearing a wrestling shirt one day to class and she said her uncle was a wrestler. Her last name was Neidhart, so I don't know why I asked who it was, but there you go.
2) My father works with a close friend of Kane. He got me his autograph. Not the guy's autograph, Kane's.
3) I went to school with a guy who dated Kane's daughter and slept in Kane's bed. Not with Kane, though, ew.
4) Kane lives about a half hour from my house!
5) My brother's ex-girlfriend was Ted DiBiase's neighbor when she was younger and had been to his house and swam in his pool with his children.
6) My father used to work with Henry Godwinn's nephew, who was champion of a Florida federation and once let me borrow his heavyweight title.

1. Johnny Grunge went to my high school. 2. I met Kevin Northcutt (TNA red shirt security) when I lived in New Orleans (he played football in high school with a friend of mine). He was bouncing at a strip club at that time. 3. I met the hurricane (in full hurri-gear) outside MSG during the day before a show. I was walking to get my car from the impounding place on the west side (stupid opposite side of the street NYC parking laws) and my friend spotted him. He was a nice guy. 4. A friend of mine worked at Ninfa's (mexican restaurant) in Baton Rouge and the night after a show, she was Sting and Lex Luger's waitress. She said they each had fajitas--Sting had 2 orders and Luger 3 orders of fajitas (each order is about one pound of meat/chicken--usually enough for 2 people).

When the WWE comes to Boston, after the show they usually go to a restuarant called the Kowloon, this is the same place where Randy Orton was arrested just after he made his debut with the WWE. I have eaten there a few times, I know this story is weak and I have no connection.

OK this doesn't really count and is actually more of a question than anything . . . . When I was first getting into wrestling (think late '97 or early '98) someone had left a copy of WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game for the PlayStation in one of my high school classes. The teacher saw this, picked up and started talking about how the wrestlers had came to the school a few years back. He specifically named Razor Ramon as being one of them. I didn't think too much of this at the time (though the idea of Scott Hall walking the halls of my high school was kind of funny) but now I'm curious as to why they were there? Was the WWF so bad off at the time that they were doing shows in high school gyms?

While people may believe this or not my cousin's current boyfriend has trained at the FWA Academy (the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, Britains premier indy league, BUY TAPES NOW!) and worked matches with guys liek Simmonz, Doug Williams and most interestingly Burchill who signed a WWE developmental deal over the new year.
