Nice and jerks

[Guest swan]

I met Superstar Billy Graham at the Tampa airport around 87/88. Nice guy. He moved around about as well as Hogan does these days.

[Guest]

I usually go to Madison Square Garden before the WWF shows and I wait for the wrestlers near the back door. The Nicest wrestler I have ever met was Kanyon he came out of his car with all his bags and like many wrestlers said "Let me put my stuff down and I'll come back." This usually means they aren't coming back, but Kanyon came back talked and took pictures and signed autographs for at least a hundred people he's a really great guy and I can't wait to see him back in the WWF.

 

Test has usually been a guy that doesn't sign, but the worst I've ever met had to be Bubba Ray Dudley, granted it may have been a bad day but he called my friend Rick a "F--king Prick" just because he asked for an autograph, but we still marked out and was like "Yeah, Bubba got pissed at us." So Rick started yelling stuff like "You Suck" but Bubba just walked away so he really can't be that bad.

[Guest]

The only two guys I've ever really talked to were Ric Flair and Arn Anderson.  I have a membership to Gold's Gym (actually, now that I think about it, Lodi goes to the same gym) and I was with my uncle one time.  My uncle is a big guy, maybe 6'10, and AA asked him to try-out for WCW a while back.  Anderson remembers him, and he and Flair both talk to us while we're lifting.  It was really cool.  And just the other week, my friend and I were driving in a shopping center.  We're flying by Harris Teeter, and this man walks out with his grocery cart.  We have to brake really hard to slow down so he can walk pass.  We circled back around, and saw it was ric.  We pulled up to his car (really nice black Explorer) and talked to him for a second.  He had his kids in the car, and was anxious to go, so we didn't stay long.  We just told him we were big fans and he said "Thanks fellas, I appreciate it."  Both guys are very classy.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

I was working out in a gym in Tacoma, and I met both the Rock and the Undertaker (they were there together). There were some other guys there but I mostly chilled with those two.

 

They were really cool, but man I have to say the Rock is kind of creepy.

[Guest Anglesault]

but man I have to say the Rock is kind of creepy.

 

Did he harass your GF?

[Guest]

The only wrestlers Ive have really met in person are Randy Savage (at an autograph signing in '87; he had the Intercontinental Belt with him (and Elizabeth) and was really cool, even if I was only seven. I met Ricky Steamboat that same year too, once again very nice.

  One interesting thing was that in the fall of 2000, Too Cool made an appearance at some indoor flea market near our college (Rutgers University-NJ). Since the football team was at Pitt, we dicided to take a short trip. We were gonna get pics and autographs, but after finding out they were fuckin' $35-40 dollars, we said screw that shit. We were still pretty close to them (no further than 10-15 feet) when I just yelled out "Hey, look, that guy looks like Jerry Lawler's son!!!!!!!!!!!" Scotty 2 Hotty started laughing, and Brain lawler even cracked a smile. I looked real quick and fuckin ran 'cause I thought I was getting ass kicked. They are both pretty big in real life; the other guys must be MONSTERS, cause they look like midgets on TV.

  Since King Of the Ring was in Jersey this year (and there's a Gold's in my hometown of Belleville, NJ, which is 10 minutes outside of the Meadowlands, so any time the WWF is in Jersey, the wrestlers go there), my friends and I went to Gold's real quick to see if there were any wrestlers just coming in or out (we didnt feel like staying). We didnt see anyone except this REALLY FUCKIN' BIG guy...I mean HUGE guy with bushy red hair walk to his car, walk back, give as a quick nod, and go in. We kinda knew who he was, couldnt really place it for a second, then all realized it was Kane. One girl did try to get a pic with him, but he's not allowed to take them without his mask, so she obviously understood. I'll tell you something, words cannot say how HUGE he really is!!!!!!!!!! (tall and muscle-wise). He defines the term "scary-big". Im pretty average (5'11", 170), and you could give me a bat, a gun, and a car, and Kane would still kill me in a fight in about .5 seconds.

My younger sister did get to meet Road Dogg in the spring of 1999 (she was 12), and for 10 bucks, got two autographs, a picture, and talked to him for a few minutes. That was pretty cool for her. I made her a replica of the Hardcore title (just out of construction paper), and he loved it. He told her it was the "most original" thing he signed all day. So you can chalk Road Dogg up as being was VERY COOL to meet.

I met three guys and I guarantee none of them will impress anyone, but here goes. I went to a show at the Meadowlands back in 95 and they were having a picture session with Nash and HBK, so I got there early. I got my picture with Nash and held the WWF title(it was pretty heavy) and as I was leaving, Nash held his hand out to give me five. He seemed like a really nice guy and he has a friggen huge hand. Second guy I met was waiting in my seat since I was early, was Mo. Didn't talk much, just got an autograph from him and that was it. The last guy is referee Mike Chiota. Yes, I met Mike Chiota. The reason I mention it is because his family was sitting near us, which is why he was there in the first place and he was just talking to them and people were going over and asking him for autographs; they were being pretty rude, but he seemed cool about it. I didn't go over because I didn't want to bother him... so I guess I didn't actually meet him. Well, those are my big exciting stories...

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Bear in mind im in Ireland

 

I met Earthquake a few years back, and he's a really nice guy.

Ive met tons of british wrestlers aswell

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

*sigh* You guys get to meet all the neat WWF wrestlers. The only guy from the WWF who I've ever seen in person is Vince, and I didn't even say anything to him since he was obviously going somewhere and not just hanging around.

 

This wasn't any real event or anything, I was just walking down a mall of shops in a Las Vegas strip hotel (must have been in town to sign over that hotel they bought some years back, as it was sold shortly after)

 

This little street of shops is all expensive shit, with shirts in the 5 or 6-figure dollar range and the like. He didn't have any bags or anything with him, though.

[Guest]

live events just started comin back to atlantic canada within the last year so i havent met the most guys...but....i'll tell y'all my story anyways.

 

at a january house show while waiting outside we met:

lita (nice, and in spandex )

matt hardy (nice guy)

the big show (FN hilarious, especially talking about Hogan)

hurricane (cool guy to talk to)

THE FINK(probably the nicest of them all)

RVD (a really good guy, a little burnt, but funny....he even got hurricane to stop their car on the way out so he could come back and sign an awesome rvd sign)

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

No Sault he didn't harass my girlfriend...

 

But man, he gave me the wierdest look the whole time, and the only thing I can think of to describe it would be it's like what a pedaphile must look like when he see's some choice meat.

[Guest]

........and

 

i met Kurrgan outside the Sept/01 Halifax Show....he was really cool, and talked with me and my friend for about 5 minutes even though we attracted a mob to him  

 

the only guy who really came across as an asshole was Test who yelled at some little kid for telling him he sucked. I dont blame the guy for bein bitter though, in both house shows i was at nobody seemed to say anything to him except "YOU SUCK!!" lol.

 

ps: to the guy who met Kanyon, Lance & Ivory at the Halifax show, whered you find them????, me and my friend walked around the building for like 3 hours looking for people and got nothing   . id kinda like to know for the house show coming up there:)  thanks

[Guest muzanisa]

Too Cold Scorpio Coming out of the Albert Hall after a WCW show.

I was smoking a joint, he smelled it gave me a thumbs up and disappeared into the night.

[Guest dpac]

[Guest Anglesault]

That's more than he ususally gets...

[Guest bob_barron]

My stories-

Undertaker- He was really cool- I asked him about the urn and he laughed about it.

Benoit- I flashed the 4 Horsemen sign and told him I was 4 Horsemen for life and he was like: Yea!

Rhyno- He was very nice and took time out to talk with everyone. ECW stuff he signed- Rhino

X-Pac- Met him twice, stoned both times.

Justin Credible- He came off like an asshole

Hardyz- Both were very nice. When I met him the jumbotron at WWFNY was showing TLC I.

S2H- Me: Is the Worm Race gonna be in the 2004 Olympics? Him: Maybe the special Olympics

Molly Holly- Very, very nice. Everyone was looking down her dress.

Terri- She was an asshole. Note to everyone- Dont mention the York Foundation

Bret Hart- Cost me $20 but it was all worth it just so I could meet greatness

And finally-

 

William Regal- First of all he's my favourite wrestler so I was really excited already. He was two hours late but made it worth the wait. I'm in line and he looks over at me and I just wave like an idiot. He cracks a smile and does the Regal wave so I'm already ecstatic.

 

Then I go up and say: You should let Tajiri go on his own and bring back Sir William! He does a Regal face and just cuts this hilarious promo right there in front of me dissing Sir William as we were both cracking up. He was really nice to everyone and made up for the fact he was late.

 

William Regal- a class act

[Guest]

In 2001, on superbowl sunday, i went to a Jillion's near where i live and to my suprise there was like 10 wcw guys. Actually i was just walking by the bar area and saw Mike Sanders and i was like OH SHIT! Mike Sanders!" Sanders turned around and just kinda smiled and was all like "Hey...thats me." Eventually he took me to the table where Hugh Morrus, Lash leroux, Sean O Haire, Rey Misterio, Konnan, The Wall(BIG MOFO!), Chavo Jr. Yang, Sean Stasiak, and Chuck Palumo. Out of them, they either where really nice to me or just basically ignored me. Sean Stasiak is a legit dick though. Hugh Morrus, Chavo, Chuck Plaumbo, and Sanders hwere kick ass, got to hang with them. All In All a good time. Wierdest part though was Helms and Shannon Moore where there but I didn't recgonize them and they came up and was all like "So who's the best over there" and everything and i was just like "um...i guess Rey Rey...." and they just kinda laughed.

[Guest crandamaniac]

man, the only wrestlers i met was Kwee-Wee (w/ papaya)

And a few of the Nitro girls (who i might add were really hot!)

 

I did go 2 a live nitro and thunder taping, and got 2 shake hands w/ glacier (him doing the hero spoof gimmick)

 

I called Kaz Hayashi "Hong Kong Phooey". He looked at me like i farted

[Guest cabbageboy]

I've been to all sorts of WWF shows and never met anyone.  

 

RVD was stoned off his ass huh?  Somehow that doesn't shock me.

[Guest Sykotic2002]

Some of the people I met:

 

RVD/Fonzie-  Super cool guys.  Met them at an autograph signing last year at Ontario Mills.  Signed anything and everything you would give them.  I was talking to them about their RF Shoot Interviews and they were asking how I liked them.  RVD told me to email him to let him know what I thought of his newest interview.

 

Tatanka/Virgil- They did an autograph signing in Beaumont at a gym.  Just walk through the line and get an autograph and leave.  But, afterwards they were inside the gym and only certain people were allowed inside.  We knew the owners, so they let us in.  Talked to Tatanka for about a half hour.  Super cool guy.  My brother gave him and Indian headdress and he said he would put it in his office at home.  About a year later, there was an article about him at home in WWF magazine.  He's sitting in his office and the headdress was hanging on the wall.  Virgil spent the entire time in the gym talking to some woman, so I didn't bother.  

 

Met Bobby Heenan, Mean Gene, and Macho Man at MGM Grand ticket sale before Halloween Havoc'96.  They were all cool.  Mean Gene thought it was pretty funny that I had my Wrestlemania 12 shirt on.  Was at an Indy show at Spotlight 29 and I met Bushwackers, Honkytonk Man, Iron Shiek, Nikolia Volkoff, and Rico.  Rico was real nice.  Volkoff was kind of a dick.  I was in the restroom taking a piss and the Sheik came in.  Dude can barely walk.  Can't understand shit he says.  Bushwackers were cool.  Seemed very happy to be signing the autograph and wasn't a burden for them.  Honky was cool, but a little pissed about the match he worked.  Was talking to somebody about how his opponent was suppose to fucking do something.

 

Harvey Wimpleman was a very nice guy.  Met him at Axcess before Wrestlemania 2000.  He was just standing there and I went up and got a pic and autograph.  Was very happy to sign and take the pic.  Earl Hebner and Tim White were cool.  Debra was nice.  Met Brisco and Patterson.  Brisco was nice, but Patterson was in a pissed off mood.  Al Snow and Steve Blackman were cool.  My mom almost blinded Blackman taking his pic.  Lilian Garcia and Marissa(Shane's wife) were really sweet.  Crash and Funaki were getting ready to go on for a mtach and signed for us right before they went on.  Howard Finkel was nice.  Jonathan Coachmen was real cool.  He was standing their talking to a couple fans and I walked over.  Real cool guy.  

 

I went to a wrestling school in San Bernardino and Frankie Kazarian was their helping us train.  Real cool guy.  Gavce us good tips on ot being nervous and just letting it flow.  Suicide Kid Mike Henderson was just cocky.  He's a dick.  Said he couldn't work out a match because no one there was good enough to wrestle him.  Kept bragging about how he was going to be on Nitro a couple weeks later.  Never saw him on there.

[Guest HartFan86]

I really enjoyed reading these stories. Here's mine:

 

Thrasher (Nice Guy, talked to for about 2 minutes, it was an autograph session.)

 

Mosh (See above)

 

Dave Hebner (Very Nice Guy, talked to him in line druring the autograph session for about 20 minutes.)

 

Doug Dellinger (Nice Guy, talked to him for about 5 minutes during an intermission at a WCW show, he signed.)

 

Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (Nice Guy, was in a rush, but took time to take a picture and sign.)

 

Lance Storm (Kinda Rude Guy, Everyone was over at Jericho outside of the parking lot of a resturant after Smackdown in July of 2001. I was the only one who noticed him coming out and I ran over to him, asked him for an autograph and he just blew me off and left in his car. I couldn't have been nicer, but I dunno if he felt bad cause no one wanted to see him or what.)

 

Chris Jericho (Very Nice Guy, very shy, but he signed for everyone who mobbed him.)

 

Chuck Palumbo (Really Nice Guy, talked to him for about 5 minutes, signed and took pics with everyone.)

 

Sean O’Haire (See above. One kid didn't have anyone to take the picture and he did it for the kid.)

 

Paul Vachon (Really Nice Guy, met him in a Flea Market and talked to him for at least 3 hours. Awesome guy and we talked about the Hart Family for most of the time.)

 

Rick Fuller (Nice Guy, met him at an Indy show, he signed.)

 

Chris Hammrick (Nice Guy, met him at an Indy show, talked to him for at least 30 minutes, signed for everyone.)

 

Stacy Keibler (Nice Girl, met her in an autograph session. The security was very rude to her telling her to move it and stupid stuff like that. I felt bad for her.)

 

Howard Finkel (Kinda Nice Guy, signed, but didn't talk as he was in the parking lot.)

 

Shane Helms (Really Nice Guy, met him before a show, talked to him for about 3 minutes, signed with everyone took pictures.)

 

Nicest = O'Haire, Vachon, and Helms

 

Rudest = Storm

[Guest AM The Kid]

I LIVE in Calgary but I dont meet many guys. Saw Bret Hart in his car, my brother met Bulldog in the gym and while pissing at a urinal he also met Bret Hart in a bar.

 

Back in 1997 I went to a Bret Hart autograph session but got there late and me and my dad were fairly far back in the line...and guess what?! The prick running the line cut it off right in front of us because Bret had to do the first kick at the football game later; which we were also going to and sitting in expensive corprate box seats, so we left right then, picked up my mom and went to the game. I was REALLY pissed off at this point and we got to the football game and I cringed when Bret was on the field wishing I got to meet him. I started to cool off and then about an hour into the game...two seats away Bret Hart sits down with his son Dallas. I'm freaking out, but waaaayyyy too shy to go over to him so my mom stands up and talks to him and she talks to him for awhile and points to me. My mom sat down and I walked over to Bret(who had his back turned for a second ordering a hot dog) and tapped him on the shoulder. I shook his hand and talked for awhile and ended up searching for about 2 minutes for a pen and got an autograph. Bret was really nice and smiling the whole time. I went back to my seat, he ate his hotdog and as suddenly as he arrived he left again.

 

Thats my best story, I have others but pretty boring.

[Guest Vyce]

Only guys I ever met were Raven / Saturn way back after a WCW Thunder taping.  Both were pretty cool, but I didn't get to talk long, as they were about to get mobbed by fans.

 

I tried to get Charles "Lil Naitch" Robinson's autograph, but this was before the show, and he had to go take care o' business.

 

We're flying by Harris Teeter, and this man walks out with his grocery cart.  We have to brake really hard to slow down so he can walk pass.  We circled back around, and saw it was ric.

 

Whoa, Ric WHOO, BY GAWD Flair grocery shops at Harris Teeter???

 

Why not - it is a quality supermarket store!

[Guest scratch]

I like this thread a lot.  Here goes the list:

 

HBK and Diesel - Meadowlands 1995 - They were doing a meet and greet in the lobby before the show.  Nash was super cool, let me hold the belt, and he signed my gloves.  HBK was kind of a dick, gave an impression he'd rather be somewhere else.

 

King Kong Bundy, Afa, Iron Sheik, Bobcat and Samu - Indy show at my high school in '99.  Each one of these guys was awesome, talked with Bundy for a while about what it was like to headline Wrestlemania, etc, etc..

 

Mikey Whipwreck and Steve Corino - March 2000 ISPW show.  Mikey sat in the bleachers with my friends and I for half the show, and left to go get ready before intermission. Super cool guy.  Corino I met as he was getting in the building.  He ran over my foot with his suitcase, apologized and took a pic with me and my buddies.  Really nice, sat with his son during the show.

 

Mick Foley- booksigning, 2000- Really nice, personalized my book, shook my hand and took a pic, even though he really wasn't supposed to.  

 

Jimmy Snuka, Brutus Beefcake and Nicole Bass - Indy show

All three were hands down the rudest people I have ever met.  Snuka was coked out of his mind and went crazy on my friend when he asked if he could take a Polaroid.   Bass is just scary.

 

Tommy Fierro - Met him through a friend.  Not as bad a guy as people think, he is really nice.  I talk with him a lot at Indy shows, he is really really cool.

 

Haku, Bob Backlund, Lord Alfred Hayes, Essa Rios, K-Kwik, Taka, Funaki, Bobby Heenan, Mean Gene, Nikolai Volkoff, D'lo Brown and Billy Gunn- WWF Axxess 2001 - EVERYONE of these guys was AWESOME, took pics, and chatted briefly.  Haku was the nicest though.  He got up to take pics with EVERYONE in line that wanted one and took time to learn names.

 

Crash Holly, Molly Holly, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and Chyna - at the airport in Houston the day after WM 17.  Chyna was really nice, Jericho was in a rush, Crash and Molly were AWESOME, talked to them each for a few minutes, and Angle was really cordial to us.  

 

Grandmasta Sexay- Biggest.  Dick.  Ever..  wouldn't sign a shirt for a retarded kid at an Indy show.  He told him that he doesn't sign WWF products.  Then I asked him how he was doing and he goes, "You gonna tell your friends on the Internet that I'm a coked out loser on the Indy scene??"-- I kinda got freaked out and left him with my poster that he was about to sign.

 

That's my list of wrestlers, I'm sure there is more but I am tired and need some sleep.  Peace

[Guest godthedog]

does anybody have any stories of meeting austin?  i've never heard a single one, i know there must be some floating out there.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

oh yeah, austin.

 

i've meet him. talked to him a couple of minutes, really nice, but he had to go and get ready for his match.

[Guest Dmann2000]

I heard this story 2nd hand, there was a Sunday Night Heat live broadcast (yes the show actually used to go out LIVE) and some guys were talking about being there since early in the morning and they said they were waiting outside when all a sudden Vince McMahon comes out into the parking lot.  These guys were all like "Hey Vince" and Vince sees them and is kinda shocked that these guys were out at like 9am, 10 hours before the show, he smiled and waved an walked back in.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Thanks for telling your friends on the internet that Brian Christopher is a cokehead.

[Guest]

I wish I could meet wrestlers.....I've only really ever had the chance once and it just wasn't a time option...closest I got was seeing Christian and Test get into a car after Smackdown in Edmonton last May.  Damn living in small towns.
