Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 WXIX-TV (Fox affiliate) in Cincinnati ran a story Tuesday night about a local 12-year-old wrestling fan afflicted with a rare genetic disorder. With the help of the Make-A-Wish foundation, he will be traveling to Seattle for WrestleMania on March 31st. On Tuesday, he was a guest ring announcer for a local Heartland Wrestling Association event and was visited by Rosey from Three Minute Warning of the WWE. The story talked about his love of wrestling and talked a bit about his disease. To read the related story that's been posted on the station's website, click here: Make A Wish Smack Down. [Thanks to the anonymous PWTorch.com reader for sending the story] From WrestlingObserver.com OK I'm not denying that this was an great gesture for the kid, but..... Rosey???? Why?
Guest bob_barron Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 I would've gone with Jamal personally
Guest Steviekick Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 It's nice to hear that a child with a serious medical condition enjoyed hanging with Rosey. Good for the both of them. I do think that it is very nice that so many wrestlers are involved with children's charities like Make A Wish.
Guest candie45 Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Did he request Rosey? Anyway, that stuff is so nice. We raised $10,000 for Make a Wish back in 2001 at school, and 2 kids got to have their wish granted. One little boy got to meet Austin for his wish. He came back with pictures and stuff... aww, so cute.
Guest Polish_Rifle Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Rosey? Well, I guess to each their own. If you could choose one wrestler to meet who would it be? I guess mine is pretty obvious.
Guest Nevermortal Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 For a kid who's gonna die, he sure has some low standards. Fuck if I could make a wish to meet a wrestler, I'd at least want to meet Rikishi, the higher Samoan on the food chain.
cawthon777 Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 "Well I wanted Stone Cold but ... this is fine ... and you are?" "I'm Rosey from 3 Minute Warning, little man! You know - 'Three minutes and we're outta here...'" "...Oh, so that's you? Hmmm. " Me, I'd want the Hitman.
Guest jimmy no nose Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 I heard about this from someone who saw it on the news and from what he said I think what happened was that his wish was to be able to ring announce and so they let him do the HWA show and the only really recognizable wrestler there was Rosey, so as a nice gesture he went on to go visit him and they gave him the chance to come to Wrestlemania. I don't think Rosey was part of his wish.
Guest CED Ordonez Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 From the sounds of it, going to see Wrestlemania was the big deal in this, and the visit from Jamal was tacked on as a bonus along with guest announcing the HWA event.
Guest Creepy Crawl Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Ive met Stone Cold before so if it was me getting to meet the wrestler ........ it would be Austin again .
Guest jimmy no nose Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Yeah Wrestlemania could have been the wish too, sounds like a better wish to me. Either way his wish wasn't to be visited by Rosey, he just visited him to be nice, probably at the WWE's request.
Guest jester Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 On Tuesday, he was a guest ring announcer for a local Heartland Wrestling Association event and was visited by Rosey from Three Minute Warning of the WWE. Then Bishoff came out to announce that the kid's three minutes were up, and then... Sorry, that was cruel.
Guest Steviekick Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 If it was me, I'd pick either Hitman, Raven, or Jericho.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 I wouldn't mind my dying wish being meeting 3MW. As long as I got to hear their music. I would want to meet Dustin if I was dying. I've already met Regal and Booker and Dustin would complete the triple threat
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 He probably requested Jamal, but couldn't tell them apart so it didn't matter that much.
Guest Choken One Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Interesting...To Answer the question... To have an long convosation with... Jericho, Raven, Dustin and Sean O' Haire (at least his character) To just meet and greet Austin, Flair and RVD To say "Fuck You" to TEST To Stare at Trish Stratus
TheFranchise Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Wouldn't it freak you out if Test was a really cool guy?
Guest NoSelfWorth Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Was Hillbilly Jim not available then ?
Mecha Mummy Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 I'd probably want to meet Raven, Matt Hardy, or Christian...
Guest subliminal_animal Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 More proof Rosey is the nicer one. "Well I wanted Stone Cold but ... this is fine ... and you are?" "I'm Rosey from 3 Minute Warning, little man! You know - 'Three minutes and we're outta here...'" "...Oh, so that's you? Hmmm. " I like how he sings his theme song when people don't recognize him. Then Bishoff came out to announce that the kid's three minutes were up, and then... Sorry, that was cruel. No, it was great. I heard about this from someone who saw it on the news and from what he said I think what happened was that his wish was to be able to ring announce and so they let him do the HWA show and the only really recognizable wrestler there was Rosey, so as a nice gesture he went on to go visit him and they gave him the chance to come to Wrestlemania. I don't think Rosey was part of his wish. I'm sure he was. My question ... why would Rosey be at an HWA show?
Guest eiker_ir Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 good for the little kid i've would've picked Hitman or Jericho or Jamal of courrrse....the last one was a jokeee
Guest Retro Rob Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Rosey was probably learning to wrestle at the HWA show, so he met with the kid. I would want to meet Matt Hardy. He seems like the most down to earth guy out of the whole bunch.
Guest Banky Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Cena, Guerrero, or Jericho would be the ones I'd want to meet. I love Austin, but he seems really dimwitted.
Rob E Dangerously Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Rosey and Jamal wrestled in HWA back before they went to the WWE
