Congrats to him. Also really nice to read that he's been a legit favorite of people in the business. Always thought the wrestlers recognised and really liked him too. Not just the Piper segment, but I do recall Sid, for example, going to interact with him anytime he saw him. I have this recollection that he gave Vladimir a fist bump at SurSer '96 (when Sid beat HBK for the belt)...

If I were wealthy like him, I'd do the same thing. I've never gone to a live WWE event in my life despite being an on/off fan for over 30 years.

Vladimir also got a shout out in WWF Magazine once. I think it was a Informer column. I recall they said his name and how you’d recognize him from being in the crowd at every show. That's where I learnt about him. I can't remember if it was Informer or Vic Venom. I remember a picture of him fist bumping Sid accompanying the article. That’s it. Might have been Venom too, I honestly couldn’t remember which either and picked one.

There needs to be a campaign to place him in the HOF. The super fans hall of fame, first class. Vladimir, Hat Guy, Miz Girl, Sheamus Guy. Don't forget this guy

I met Vladmir in Orlando also Todd the super fan(great guy as well) Vladmir is legit such a nice guy and does not draw attention to himself, like red hat guy does. He is just a guy who likes wrestling who always poses with people who remember him. Class act and very happy for him

Class act and very happy for him To be completely honest, Vlad is the one guy I've ever found myself in close-quarters with and too star-struck to put words together to talk to. Always loved seeing him as a fan all these years. We were in the same stairwell after a TNA show in NYC in 2014, and I couldn't find a right way to say "Hey, I like watching you watch all those matches I watch." Glad to hear he's a good dude, if the mood is appropriate I'll approach him next time.

I saw the Green Lantern fan front row at a show that had Scott Hall vs Marty Jannetty on it years ago. He held up this big photo from the Razor / Michaels ladder match. This got Hall’s attention, so Hall got out of the ring and went over to him. The crowd loudly booed this. They were upset this guy was interrupting the show which he’s been known to do. The Green Lantern fan started patting Hall on the stomach. Hall had put on some weight at the time. This got Hall pissed. Hall grabbed him by the back of the head with one hand and pulled down the front of his trunks with the other. I turned away at that moment but some guy yelled out, “I seen it!” Hall cussed him and got back in the ring. The Green Lantern fan was quiet the rest of the night. People should never touch the wrestlers and I was surprised he didn’t know better. I spoke to him once after that at a show. I kept hearing how people say he thinks all the wrestlers are his friends, just because he goes to tons of shows, so I asked him who his friends were from the wrestling business. Just to see what kind of answer I’d get. Surprisingly, he said no one really. He talks to Teddy Hart now and then but that was it. Ok, I tried to read this 3 times to see if I am missing something, but are you saying Scott Hall sodomized Green Lantern Fan?

I think it was more of a gesture to humiliate him.
