Sabu is notorious for no-showing, and I met Batista behind an arena twice and he was awesome. Signed for everyone, just signed for women and children first which was sexist but reasonable.

Customs
The Great Muta
(Kevin Sullivan)
(Bob Remus, known better at Sgt. Slaughter)
Slaughter liked this figure so much, he asked me to have another made and send it to him and he would send me a gift in return as well as paying all the costs of it. He wrote his address down on a sheet of paper for me, which i still have...someday i might get around to having one made for him. I didn't make it, and the person who did, no longer does.
(Jimmy Valiant, CptnLou Albano, and Johnny Valiant
Cptn. Lou liked this 3 pack so much that he took a photo of it with his cell phone and sent it to someone at Jakks and said this is what he wants their 3 pack to look like. Supposedly it's to be released Fall of 09
(Chris Benoit as the Pegasus Kid)
(Benoit Story Below)
(Jack Brisco)
Had this one made and a friend in Florida who's family friends with Jack got it signed for me. Jack called me that day, said he loved it and wanted another made. So the person i buy customs from made another for Jack, and Jack sent me a photo of him with it. Hopefully i will be going with my friend to Florida for 2 weeks and will have dinner with Jack and just hang out at their house with him, and he's there every couple weeks for a cookout.
Earthquake and Jack Brisco are connected. I have a friend who's father moved to Florida and became friends with Jack, so that friend got it signed for me. I had 2 made and i have a photo of Jack holding the other one. Earthquake was friends with my friend's father, so i sent my classic down, which i ordered from ringside, and it sat in his trunk for 2 months until Earthquake was having a good day (regarding cancer) and decided to sign some stuff. My friend got his classic and hasbro signed and got my classic signed for me. Earthquake signed about 10 that were mailed in to him from friends and whatnot, so there are some out there, but not many. He was alive for about 3 1/2 months after the figure came out, but never did a public signing or left his house during that time frame.
Bam Bam was purchased from his estate, which listed a large number of item on an internet site for public auction. That figure is from the prototype case of 12 sent to Bam Bam for approval, and he signed all 12 and just kinda left them. Supposedly he was going to give them to people, but never got the chance, so they were auctioned for $50 a piece. Looking back,i wish i had bought more than 1, but i was tight on money at the time and barely got the one that i did.
i love the benoit figures. I have a long story about meeting him but the short of it is, Vin (WF Member) made them and Benoit liked them so much that he had his agent give me a card and said to make a 2 pack of him as Pegasus Kid and Eddie as Tiger Mask and give it to him the next time he was in town. So Vin made the 2 pack which i gave to benoit (benoit signed every item i had, about 20, and said he'd mail me something for my time). This is november 2006 that i gave him the figures. The friday before the infamous occurrences in Georgia, his agent emailed me and apologized for it taking so long and benoit just informed him to send me whatever it was benoit was sending. Then everything happened and i was sure i'd never see anything. That monday after, i get a package from WWE C/O Chris Benoit and it is an ECW one night stand event chair.
This is Benoit the second time i met him and gave him the figures he requested. He was teary eyed looking at them. I'm guessing they brought backa lot of memories and he was surprised i actually came and met him a second time and brought those to him. I initially met him in December 2005 (my sig) and then again here in November 2006, so there was a long time span there. He was truly the nicest wrestler i've ever met. I was at the front of the line giving him the figures and talking to him about them and he was signing a ton of stuff for me, he was just so happy with them, and someone bitched that it was only a 2 hour session and i'd been at the front of the line for nearly ten minutes. and beniot told his agent to get up an announce that any time taken right now would be made up and the session would officially start when him and I were done, so he stayed like 30 minutes longer to get everyone through even though i took about 10 minutes right at the beginning. (signings was 6-8, he signed 6:10-8:45, the first ten minutes being talking to me)
He signed 1 magazine "Thank you for the figures. They will be on the wall in my office forever - Chris Benoit"
My WWE World Heavyweight Title Version 1 he signed
"Chris Benoit Wrestlemania XX World Heavyweight Champion"
And normal CS:
Was done behind Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena in Jamestown NY in December of 2005. Everyone went in to the show and Taker didn't arrive until a few matches in (house show) and he came down to the 5 of us standing out back, said 1 signature, so pick ur favorite item ,and no photos
Ray Apollo
Not the best color...
Thanks to Class 316 as well for helping me out with many of these, thanks man...
If you're not a Benoit fan, that is perfectly fine, just please no fighting. Comment on the figures, not the people
New acquisitions:
CSDA Signed:
Tables:
Does anyone get the Jakks tables that come with figures autographed? I decided they're pretty cool to display and good items to bring with when you're not sure what wrestlers will be appearing because it's a good generic item that is better than an index card.
Here's mine:
Steiners (Rick on bottom, how i display. Scott signed it upside down...)
Steiners (Scott on bottom)
Sid Vicious
Samoa Joe (Hope to get A.J. Styles on the bottom half)
Brutus Beefcake
Cactus Jack (Hope to get Funk on the other half)
Kofi Kingston
C.M. Punk
WWE Sign Guy
Also have a cs uk regal/bulldog exclusive signed by Regal on the way from DocFairDay
