Hey, For those that may or may not have heard, Bret "The Hitman" Hart was/is in Toronto today for a rare autograph signing/speech at The National Home Show at The Direct Energy Centre in Toronto. Me and a good buddy went down before I had to go into work. Bret was only signing from 11 this morning until 12 at The March of Dimes booth (#5111) and then was going on stage and apparently speak about surviving his stroke. We didn't stick around for that. We had to head back because I've got to work today so... Anyway, the line-up was VERY short and you could only get 1 item signed, even though I snuck in a few more than I should have. I actually went through the line twice because it was so short. Might as well take advantage of that, right??... Once you got up there, they were asking for you to donate whatever you could to The March of Dimes in the donation box. I put in $5 (lol), but hey, it's something right. I think there were some people that didn't put in anything. Bret seemed like he was tired or something, but thanked you for coming out and seeing him and stuff. As for the stuff I got signed, I got my MOC WWE CS Series #1 figure personalized to me, MOC WWF Jakks Series #1, MOC WWF Jakks Series #2 personalized for my g/f, the old WWF LJN Hart Foundation Tag-Team poster and last but not least, my deluxe replica WWF Winged Eagle belt. Here are some pics. Sorry about the quality, my cell is kinda crappy...Oh well, better than nothing: All in all, I had a great time and I'm sure those who went did too. Meeting Bret again was another excellent experience. ;D

I read about it on Wrestlingfigs.com on their autograph signings page. I thought everyone in Canada/Ontario who uses this forum would've read about it.... Once I heard about it, I wasn't passing up this opportunity. No way in hell. Bret is the best. (I know I sound like a huge mark...I don't care. He's the man. Lol)

I also knew about this signing. I didnt want to go because I didnt want to pay the admission fees. I had already spent a lot of money on my trip lol. Yeetman13.... The autograph signings page is on this site: www.wrestlingfigs.com . They usually update the list every one or two days. The list can be found unter the "Wrestling Newsline" column. When they update the list, they always repost it, so you dont have to be digging through old pages. Hope that helped

Admission was only $20, which I think is a VERY small price to pay to meet Bret Hart. Definitely worth every penny, in my opinion.
