Met Sammi Callihan by accident going to a Sports Bar in King of Prussia. Complimented him on a match he had a week earlier, and bet him I could out eat him when it came to wings. That was a blast.
Drake Younger is probably the nicest man you'll ever meet.
As for worst? Noel Harlow had a very high opinion of herself.

I don't care what age you were when this happened, that's just incredibly douchey. Watch your step getting off that high horse. Most of the wrestlers thought it was hilarious and were cracking up because it was obviously all in good fun. In fact about half way through a bunch of other fans had gathered around and were laughing along as well. Good thing you didn't show up and kill the mood. I guess I'm mostly just upset for Foley. He's like Mr. Rogers to me, you don't mess with him.

Absolute best was Bret Hart. I once volunteered at a walk for a kids help phone line in 2004 and he was there as a guest to sign autographs for kids. When the walk itself started, he was sitting in the VIP room by himself, sipping on a can of coke. I walked in and introduced myself, and asked how he was feeling due to his stroke. He started talking about his health, and everything he had been through, so I grabbed a water and sat across from him in a chair, and we ended up having a 45 minute conversation about so his health, the stroke, his family, Life, reflection, Calgary, Vince McMahon, his book, Earl Hebner, Stone Cold, and Goldberg. It was amazing. For the autograph session for the kids, he’d brought his own photos, and personalized all items (including multiple items for fans who wanted them for friends or family), talking and shaking hands with everyone, and getting pictures taken. And, as he was leaving (and I was walking him to his car), a fan from afar in a park said hello and asked how he was doing. He let her know he was doing better, and she mentioned her brother-in-law was a huge fan. He asked her his name, and, without the fan asking, he quickly signed over an autograph for him. Nicest guy ever.
Other wrestlers that I’ve met that were great were: - RVD (very talkative and signed for everyone outside before a show) - Eddie Guerrero (stood outside after a show for over 20 minutes and took pictures with everyone) - Matt Hardy (in his V1 days, signed and chatted with a ton of people before a show) - Chris Jericho (hilarious at an autograph signing, was having a ton of fun) - John Cena (at an autograph signing, very talkative, and super nice to kids, especially one in a wheelchair) - Rey Mysterio (awesome at an autograph signing) - Funaki (he stood outside before a house show for an hour and signed something for everyone) - Tony Chimel (this guy is hilarious. I got to sit first row at a house show a few years back and we were cracking each other up the whole show. After, he was helping load the ring and gear in trucks, saw us, and called us over for some more chatting, calling us “my guys”)
Worst experiences were only with Billy Gunn (a fan told him he was his favourite and Gunn responded “who gives a f***” and he was a face at the time…the good old The One Billy Gunn days).

I went to Beyond Wrestling's Point of No Return show tonight in Providence. My son and I bumped into kevin Steen on our way to the restroom. He complimented me on my Package Piledrive Everyone shirt and asked my son if he was having a good time. On our way back to where we'd been standing, we stopped at his merch table and talked for a couple of minutes. He was very appreciative of us being there and being supportive of his career. He seemed very genuine and grateful. I really can't say enough nice things about him.
