Met a bunch of superstars during the span of two days. Here is my experience:
On Saturday, Sept. 8, my dad and I went to Markham, Ontario which is north of Toronto to meet Santino Marella. This would be my third time meeting him. He was at the Treadmill Factory store's grand opening. He was walking around the store while a few fans would come up to him and ask for autographs and pictures, even though he did have a table he could use. When my dad and I went up to him, he started to sign my things. I had 9 trading cards of his. I told him "I didn't know which ones to choose, so I figured I'd let you choose your favourite ones that you can sign" Instead of picking a few, he gathered them all up and signed them one by one, along with a few other things too. Meeting Santino for the third time was great, as usual. He asked my if I was going to Raw in Toronto, I told him "yes, and the House Show in Hamilton too" For those who don't know, Hamilton is southwest of Toronto. He told me that if I'm going to Hamilton, I should stop my his gym in Mississauga (a city in between Toronto and Hamilton) because he'll be having a grand opening party there. We told him that we would probably go, but are not sure yet. Here are my autographs from Santino:

Now, Sunday Sept. 9. My dad and I attended the House Show in Hamilton. After the show, my dad and I went to Santino's gym for the grand opening. I came prepared with action figures lol. Basically, I researched who was going to be at the Hamilton house show, then I brought those figures along with me. I literally had two big bags with me lol
We waited.. and we waited. While waiting, I decide to get my new program out of the car and get Santino to sign it. He recognized my dad and I from the day before at the Treadmill Factory. He also signed his ad for me:
Then we waited some more. After a while, this big guy comes in... it's Damien Sandow (with Xavier Woods)! Right when he walked in people were asking for pictures. Of course, I got a picture too. After I got my picture taken, I ran to the car, got my Sandow figure, ran back in and got it signed in purple. I didn't even have to ask him to sign it. He saw me with a marker and his figure, I was about to ask him, but signed automatically. Very nice guy. He was greeting fans basically the whole time he was there, and the only reason he was probably there for was to support Santino lol
Xavier Woods was with him too, but no one cared too much about him, but I got my picture with him. As we were waiting some more, I went back to the car to get an older program that was already previously signed by Brodus Clay and Ryback. I got that signed by Damien as well. Again, I didn't have to ask, he automatically grabbed the marker and happily signed it:
My dad and I would always wait outside the building so we could see who was coming in. There was this person that walked by and I didn't even know who she was because it was dark outside. When I walked into the building, I recognized that it was Alicia Fox! She, as with all of the wrestlers at first, went into a room and had a little snack and talked to Santino for a bit. I went back to the car and got an older program. As I was getting that program, my dad goes up to me and tells me: "Hey! Kofi Kingston is here!". I was really surprised! I went back inside, I saw Kofi, but he wasn't signing autographs at first because he was busy with Santino and he too went into that room where Alicia was. When Alicia Fox came out of the room, I had her sign my encyclopedia and a program from a few years ago. Also got a pic with her She was really nice and friendly. She told me 3-4 times "it's very nice to meet you" She then started to work out lol.
A bunch of people were waiting in front on the door of the room where Kofi was. When he came out, a bunch of people surrounded him. I got him to sign my encyclopedia and the same program Alicia signed. Then posed for a pic together.
As I was waiting to get Kofi's autographs, I notice Epico and Primo! Once I got Kofi's autographs/pic, I had Primo sign my encyclopedia and pose for a picture and got Epico to pose for a picture too. Didn't get an autograph from Epico because I didn't have anything for him to sign. I guess I could have gotten a new program signed, but I was too excited with what was going on so I wasn't thinking straight lol They weren't really sociable, it was as if they didn't want to be there with fans, but Kofi was awesome.
After meeting Epico and Primo, another giant walked in. Brodus Clay! I ran back to the car, grabbed the two figures I had of him and then ran back inside. I waited for him to get finished with Santino, and then approached him. I didn't even have to ask he right away said "okay!" and signed and posed for a pic.
After meeting Brodus Clay, we left as there was only an hour left of the party and it was getting late on a school night. Definitely happy with all of the wrestlers I met and autographs I got.
Also, yesterday, I attended Raw! I definitely had a blast at the event. A great couple of days for me
