I met him shortly before he died at an indy event. He had lost a ton of weight and look pretty good in the ring. Before the show, I ran into him in the hallway. The indy shows I went to brought in a lot of former ECW wrestlers, and every time I met one, I was able to get them to autograph my ECW Tag Title replica. Whn I ran into Bam Bam, I asked him to sign it. At first he said after the show, which I was fine with. He walked away, but came right back over and said, "fuck it, give me a pen" and signed it right there. I would have no problem having waited, but he was nice enough to come right back and do it then. He was a very nice guy when I met him.
