Matt Young Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 I was at E3 again today. WWE Diva Stacy Keibler was set to sign autographs at noon. I was more intered in meeting fellow WWE star Edge, of whom I've been a fan since he was wrestling as Sexton Hardcastle in the Canadian independents. I got in line, and I ended up meeting Stacy. They were rushing people through the line, so everyone got a simple, "Hello/Thank you" and an autographed photo. Whatever. I got in line for Edge, around 12:30, half an hour before he was set to sign. I spent a while talking about wrestling and Star Wars: Episode III with some folks from Boston before an usher informed us that, due to her arriving late and Edge not showing up yet, Stacy would pose for quick pictures with people. Of course, I had to get one of those. After the photo-op, I circled the THQ booth in order to reclaim my place in line to meet Adam Copeland, AKA Edge. On the way back, I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned around... and there was Edge with a couple escorts! I greeted him and he responded, and I walked down the hallway next to him, although he was talking over something with his guys. Once I got in there and got to shake Edge's hand, he was very friendly. A true class act toward the fans, regardless of his treatment of his friends. I got to shake the hand that fingered Lita. Now I've got herpes. Thanks, Adam. Just kidding. He signed and personalized my copy of his autobiography and threw in a signed photo on top of that. We posed for a pic, and I look like crap because my eyes were closed. The reason why is because Edge made me laugh. Here's how it went down: Edge: "You know, now I can tell all the boys on Monday that I got to meet a TV star at E3." Me: "What do you mean?" Edge: "Hasn't anyone ever told you that you bear a striking resemblance to Bud Bundy?" So I guess that makes it official, since Edge said it. I do look like Bud Bundy from Married With Children. Pictures should be uploaded by tomorrow.
Dobbs 3K Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Did you ask him what it was like banging Lita? (Hey, someone was going to ask, I might as well be first).
TheFranchise Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Invader, you beat me, and the rest, to it I bet he was too starstuck.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Now Edge is cheating on Lita? Wow.
Black Lushus Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Matt is to talking about looking like Bud Bundy as Damaramu is to talking about how big he is...now I love ya, Matt, but it's true...
Matt Young Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Posted May 20, 2005 Matt is to talking about looking like Bud Bundy as Damaramu is to talking about how big he is...now I love ya, Matt, but it's true... It's how people identify me here. This is where the comparisons started. That's why I mentioned Edge saying it. I'm not as bad as Dama, but I see your point. Now.... off to day 3!
Guest DVD Spree Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 So I guess that makes it official, since Edge said it. I do look like Bud Bundy from Married With Children. Hmm, no MNM for you.
benoit4hor Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 I met Edge and Stacy Keibler at E3! Were you able to tell them apart?
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Did you ask her out? If Edge thought you were Bud Bundy, then Stacy probably thought the same thing.
Jericholic82 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 You should have dressed as grandmaster b.
AndrewTS Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 "How about coming back to my treehouse, and I'll show you how cookies are really made."
Matt Young Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Posted May 21, 2005 So I guess that makes it official, since Edge said it. I do look like Bud Bundy from Married With Children. Hmm, no MNM for you. What's MNM, other than the WWE Tag Team Champions, a rapper, and a delicious candy? Here are the pics: Me with Stacy Keibler Stacy Keibler Me laughing, blinking, and looking stupid with Edge
SuperJerk Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 I circled the THQ booth in order to reclaim my place in line to meet Adam Copeland, AKA Edge. aka THE Edge.
Matt Young Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Posted May 21, 2005 He was actually referred to as "The Edge" in the E3 guide. I'm wondering if Maria calling him that on Raw was a jab at Matt Hardy, whose website is TheMattHardy.com.
SuperJerk Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 He could get some mad net cred if he started calling himself "teh Edge".
Guest Pariah Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Ugh, I hate fans who constantly refer to wrestlers by their real names
Matt Young Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Posted May 21, 2005 They work just fine for me. How about the rest of you? If other people tell me they don't work, I'll upload them to a new host.
Matt Young Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Posted May 21, 2005 Shit. I guess I'll re-upload those and everything else to Photobucket.
Matt Young Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Posted May 22, 2005 I uploaded everything to Photobucket, so these should work. Me with Stacy Keibler Me with Edge Stacy Keibler For the rest of my E3 pictures, visit http://photobucket.com/albums/y215/MattYoung/
Matt Young Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Posted May 22, 2005 CanadianChick, have you ever met Edge? If not, I have an offer to make you.
CanadianChick Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 CanadianChick, have you ever met Edge? If not, I have an offer to make you. No I haven't, unfortunately. And what offer would this be?
Matt Young Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Posted May 22, 2005 Well, I brought my copy of Edge's book and got him to sign it ("To Matt, Edge/Adam Copeland"- he signed both names). He also threw in the standard autographed picture that he gave everyone where he just signed his name. Since I got the book signed, I'd be willing to give you the picture since I know how much you like Edge.
CanadianChick Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Ah, it's alright man. My older bro met Edge in 2003 and gave me the autograph, so I got my Edge quota. Thanks for the offer though Matt.
Matt Young Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Posted May 22, 2005 Oh, that's cool... and you're welcome. I hope you get to meet him yourself someday. You all may now proceed with making fun of how I look in the picture with Edge.
