Not me, but one of my good friends had breakfast at IHOP with Necro Butcher and always talks about what a friendly, down-to-earth guy he is.

I met New Jack at a local show here and he was very friendly, funny, and cool. Me and a friend shook his hand welcomed him to our city and basically just expressed gratitude for his presence at such a small event. As we were having the usual friendly, tepid chat that you usually have with semi-famous people, this awkward, kinda' dopey kid walked up and interrupted our chat asking New Jack "Sooooooo, what can we expect you diving off of tonight? I want to know where not to sit!!!" New Jack gave this kid about a 15 second stare that could qualify as the facial embodiment of Jeffrey Dahmer if looks could kill. After staring at this poor kid for what seemed like an eternity, New Jack blurts out, "MAN, I AINT JUMPIN' OFF SHIT!!" Me and my bud busted out laughing and Jack walked away shaking his head and proceeded to go to the Dairy Queen drive-thru window across the street saying god only knows to the poor Dairy Queen employee who was probably telling him that the window isn't intended for people walking on their feet.

I met Nigel and Daniels in the bathroom right before their match at GBH V they were cool as hell. the arena was in some kids sports venue thats where the wrestlers were and the ring itself was about 40 feet out under a tent. it was cool I got to meet a lot of guys. Marufuji, Morishima, Joe, it was before WWE/TNA really swooped in and picked everyone up.

Well, I once met Mason Ryan when he was still BARRI back in training. I said Hi in passing, he didn't even acknowledge me Mind you, I was only there to see a friend and be nosy. So that's worst. Best, I got some of Gangrel's blood spit on me when I went to one of the shows for the same company, so that was pretty cool.

A gentleman wrestler from Iowa sends my 15 year old sister dirty Facebook messages quite frequently. Not too thrilled about that. And a random mention that not many people will know: Knight Wagner is a really cool guy. Funny as hell and really friendly. There is an indy wrestler in the state I live in that is well known for sending perverted PMs to many females on social networking sites. So far it has always been females 18 or older. But still it is very creepy. One lady I know blocked him under his ring name. So he started sending messages to her from an account with his real name.

So is this guy just a pervert or is it some kind of wildly idiotic attempt at a 21st century gimmick to get himself over. If it is the latter than hopefully someone takes on a Chris Hanson gimmick.

My best and worst happened on the same show, late 90s, around the time Michael Hayes was managing the Hardyz.
It was one of those Superstars of Wrestling shows that Chris Adams and some others promoted throughout Texas at the time. The worst happened before the show started; we were all milling about in the gymnasium and I was taking pictures for a website. A guy named LA Steele (most famous for being in Beyond the Mat for two seconds while Jake puts a snake on him) was walking around pre-show and was only in half-gear. I snapped a couple of pics and next thing I knew he was heading straight for me threatening to kick my ass if I didn't stop taking pictures before the show started. He was most definitely not being in-character.
The best came later in the show. One of my idols in wrestling is Skandar Akbar, but outside of one show the previous year I'd never seen him live in-person (and that one was from far away up in the arena). As the shows going, I see a head peek out from behind the curtain to see how the show is going. It's Ak. At 20+ years old, my face lit up like a kid on Christmas to finally be just a couple dozen feet away from one of my favorites. Dude saw me marking out and winked before disappearing. That little gesture is hands-down the greatest moment of me attending a live show ever.

Best: Talking to Human Tornado about the pros & cons of intercourse with a pregnant woman.
Worst: Trying to have a conversation with Roderick Strong. He's not a dick or anything, far from it, just an awkward dude to attempt conversation with.

Super duper pervert. Supposedly been doing stuff like this for years now. Also rumored the the only shows he works are the ones where he pays for the building and ring rental. Then sometimes has to pay the promoter to be on the show.

The first time I spotted him, I was standing near the bar and glanced down at the escalator. There was Ak and Kamala, both in full gimmick, riding the escalator. I marked out a bit and had to wonder what the non-convention guests at the Hilton thought about it. I also got to have dinner with him at the Hall of Heroes ceremony that weekend. For some reason, there was no picture taken at the table as there usually is. I really wish I had a photo of that. I

Count me in with the group that's never had a bad experience.
I will say that if you have a chance to meet Dasher Hatfield, go for it. What a great guy.

Eddie Kingston is the worst...Seriously asked me for my pack and said he'd sign something for me...I told him he could have 2 but i didn't think his autograph was worth the price of my cancer...boom 3 shots from the briscoes laughing their false teeth out

Like, if you were to google the guy, would you get any pictures of him or his work?

Dude made at least three trips from the locker room to his car just for his luggage. Also, Jack Evans asking for directions to his hotel, even though I didn't know much about East Windsor.

Every person at Chikara/Wrestling is... show. I swear they make sure every person is nice and interacts with fans. The Batiri were funny and would make fun of fans, ThunderFrog was great with any kids that showed up, Jervis Cottenbelly is super nice (He and Dansher I swear have a secret contest on who can be the most polite) its great.
Never had a bad experience

If I said his name and people googled him pictures,stories and youtube matches would show up.
