I'm sure there's been a thread about this at one time or another here but I went back a few pages and didn't see one. Basically list the wrestlers that you've met in person before, whether you got an autograph or just a photo or whatever.
Bret Hart - 1994. He was signing an old edition of WWF Magazine with him, Diesel and Sunny on the cover in beach wear. Some dude began to shout that Owen was better and tried to run at Bret but was kicked out.
Stone Cold Steve Austin - 1998. Right before Summerslam. Met him at an HMV record store when Stone Cold Metal came out. Just photos and we were just supposed to stand next to him but my mom wrapped him in a huge hug. He laughed and hugged her back.
D-Von Dudley - 2000. Met him at WWF New York.
Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer - 2000. Signed autographs at a video game store that eventually qas bought out by Gamestop. They signed ECW Hardcore Revolution. RVD let me hold the Television Title.
Rhyno and Terri Runnels - Signing autographs but I totally forgot where.
Chris Benoit - Signed autographs at a K-Mart in New York in like 2002.
Hulk Hogan - 2002. Signed his NWO RA3 figure at Toys R Us in Times Square. It was on the local news and my niece and sister came out on TV. Hogan also hit on my sister. He asked how she was doing and she said good and he said "because you're looking good"
John Morrison and The Miz - 2008. We went to meet Matt Hardy but his line was super long so we went across the street and we're like 4th in line to meet the tag champs. Same place RVD and Dreamer signed autographs in 2000. This was before the Rumble in 08 and Miz was really nice. He kept saying he was going to throw Khali over the top with one hand. My mom kissed Morrison on the cheek and my friend and I got to hold the Tag Team Titles.
Maria Kanellis - 2008. She was signing her Playboys. I waited to see her for two hours on a sprained ankle. I was a huge Maria fan and she's gorgeous in person. Also, randomly saw Aries Spears from Mad TV walk by the line.

Also met Terry Funk after axxess he was standing outside with a security guard getting some air I guess and I didn't wanna disturb him or anything but he was quite friendly and we talked for a good 3-4 minutes.

Ooh and I know it's not WWE but I met Nigel McGuiness at an ROH when he was Champion and he wasn't able to compete so he signed free autographs on a DVD.
Also, Allison Danger signed Final Battle 2006 for me and SHIMMER volume 4. She also gave me and my friend hugs in a schoolgirl outfit.

At the old NWA TBS tv tapings as a kid I met: Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Hawk, Animal, Ron Garvin, Magnum T.A., Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, J.J. Dillion, Baby Doll, Jimmy Valiant, Jimmy Garvin, Rickey Morton, Robert Gibson, Jim Cornette, Bobby Eaton, Barbarian, Baron Von Raschke, Bill and Randy Mulkey, Nikita Koloff, Ivan Koloff, Paul Ellering, Paul Jones, Manny Fernandez, Pez Whatley, and pretty much everyone that wrestled there in 1985 and 1986. Used to have all of their autographs in a scrapbook but lost it ages ago.
At E3 in Atlanta promoting WCW vs the World I met: Chris Benoit, Scott Norton, Buff Bagwell, and Booker T.
Hulk Hogan at a book signing around 2004ish?
Met DDP and Kimberly at a show at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta where she was in a show.
Bill Fralic was in Wrestlemania 2 and I met him a few times at Falcons training camps.

I've met Stone Cold not long after he won the WWF Title the first time. Jimmy Hart Ox Baker twice. Definitely an interesting guy to meet. You first meet him, he's with the booming voice, putting on the act. Then as you leave, he switches to normal guy, thanking you for coming out. Vader Austin Aries Marty Jannetty Maria. Like others have said, she's gorgeous in person. Was also very cool person Rosita. You almost don't realize how small she really is until you meet her in person. Also very beautiful and very cool in person.

yea we get this topic a lot but it's always cool.
I met Roddy Piper three times. I will say this till my dying breath and will never get tired of saying it. Roddy Piper is the greatest person you could ever meet. He is just so warm and appreciative and a hell of a great guy. I cannot say enough on how wonderful meeting Piper is. Never pass up the chance to see him.
King Kong Bundy. A great guy the two times I met him. An all around class act.
Bobby Heenan. This was before the way he looks now. He was a class act. I have a picture of me and him pointing to our brains. I called him Mr. Heenan and he told me to stop and just call him a cab. LOL I loved meeting Bobby.
Iron Sheik. He was drunk but a really nice man.
Billy Jerk Haynes: He was in the WWF at the time and he was really nice. It was a meet and great type of thing.
Mr. Perfect. A great guy and class act. This was when he was with Ric Flair and I told him it must be awesome to have a great world champion that someone can learn from. Mr. Perfect said "yea, Flair is great." I told him, "no, I mean you. Afterall, you were the AWA world champ!" the look on Perfects face was priceless. He had such a smile. Damn what a waste.
I also worked shows with Al Snow, who gave me great compliments on my talking in the ring. Abyss who was a jerk as well as Disco Inferno. I met Mr. Hughes who was a jerk. Who the hell cares about him?? I worked a show with Rhino who was awesome! After the show he said we all should take showers together, lol a lot of the rookies thought he was serious! Petey Williams was nice as was Maddog Vachon. He was a surprise at a indy show I was working on. Spike Dudley was another great guy. We both drank bottled water at the trunk of my car and we talked about everything BUT wrestling. He is the kind of guy you'd want as a close friend.
Now let me go ahead and say the worse person, other than Virgil, who wanted too much for an autograph and also told me he taught Chris Benoit how to work. The worse. Mick Foley. Just rude and ignorant and thinks he is much better than he really is. Oh yeah, and Brutus Beefcake. He looked stoned outta his mind when he was doing a car show not too long before coming back to Raw.
Anyway. I'm missing a few, I'm sure, but all in all nothing but good things to say. Again, Roddy Piper is the greatest!

Being involved in the business since 1999 it's not a matter of who I met but who haven't I met yet. LOL
I am actually going to get the honor of meeting Terry Funk for the first time in April so that will be a thrill for sure.

I worked with Jimmy Hart as well. Such a really down to earth guy. I met him years earlier and asked him for some advice. He told me "invest in your gimmick and your gimmick will invest in you". He didn't remember saying that, not that I would expect him too, but he said "yep! it's all true!" I got to spend a few minutes talking Andy Kaufman with him. That was great!!! LOL thanks for the reminder!
