Great to hear The Shield were nice and that poster is sick! Sorry to hear about the waiting in line experience sounded pretty bad, but hopefully it was worth it in the end. I'm planning on meeting Ric Flair next month just, because I want to meet him and take a picture with him. It'll cost me about $60 bucks, but when do you ever get the chance to meet a 16 time world champion.

I hope you have a great time meeting Ric! what are you getting him to sign? i dunno, I am confused...Why were they all laughing? At which part? Lol Odd question but what were they wearing? Be become used to the Kevlar vests and black trousers now I can't imagine then in anything else Sadly, they were not in ring gear. Roman was wearing a white jordan tanktop, Rollins had on a black t shirt and Ambrose had on a zip up sweatshirt. Wow that picture is awesome. It will look really good on the wall! Thanks bro! I just got done hanging it up on my wall a few hours ago.

Awesome mate, great to hear they were all cool guys, Rollins especially (Tyler Black, natch), but sad to hear about the disorganisation.

At the start, when u were talking to rollins Oh because I ignored Reigns when it was time to go up to him and only talked to Rollins and kinda gave Reigns the cold shoulder. I did not intend to give Roman the cold shoulder I was just so star struck by Rollins since he is one of my favorites that I completely forgot that there were 2 other guys to meet haha. They all found it pretty funny.

That's great glad you got to meet them. I haven't been to an autograph session in YEARS(I've met bret hart, Steve Austin , Sid , bam bam bigelow) I could never really get into standing in line for hours to get someone's autograph
Funny story though, years ago my brother and I went to a Steve Austin session(he was prob around 5 or 6 at the time I was 18 or 19) we get to Austin, get his autograph, get the standard "hi how are you yadda yadda" well my brother looks at Austin yells "hey are you going to open a can of whoop ass!?" And Austin starts cracking up lol

Okay guys so I got a pretty long story/review for you guys! I apologize in advance if it's poorly written as i'm exhausted after a very long day! So I woke up at 8:45 in the morning after a LONG night I didn't get to sleep until about 4 in the morning the night before so I didn't get much sleep. I hopped in the shower real quick, got dressed and now i'm ready to meet 2 of my favorite wrestlers (Ambrose and Rollins) today! I get in the car and start my drive to the signing. I get there around 10:30 in the morning and the place is already PACKED! It's a pretty small mall and the signing is right near the entrance so the line was from the entrance of the mall all the way down to the food court!! The line ended up almost filling the whole mall out. Around 11:20 the shield finally arrivied to some YES changes from a few smarks in line LOL. The line started out very slow and I didn't move for an hour. TBH I usually love wrestling crowds but this one today... not so much. The kids behind me were begging their Mom for a 200 dollar banner that the store was selling because they had nothing for the Shield to sign, the lady in front of me brought her kid who looked around 7 and some other lady was with her who had her kid and daughter who looked around 7 as well and they were going crazy. They were out of control. They were running all around me and sitting right next to my feet and crap it got pretty annoying . Fast fowarding, it's now 1:30 which is when the signing was scheduled to end and I'm about 40 people back in line and they announce that they're going to stay an extra 2 hours which was awesome. I get the kids behind me to hold my spot so I can go check out what's going on and see if the shield are wearing there vest (which they weren't) so I go up to the side of the front of the line not bugging anyone just handling my business trying to see if I can see them and some guy that works there said to me and a few other people "EVERYONE MOVE BACK!! You're in a restricted zone! If you don't move back we will have the cops come over here and arrest you which I don't want to have to do" So I went back to my spot in line, it's not like I was bugging anyone or had peeped my head in the store hell I couldn't even see them! So FINALLY after 4 ing hours of standing line i'm up I went over to Rollins he shook my hand and said "Hey how you doing buddy" I replied with "I'm doing great, how are you? I'm a huge fan" He said "I'm doing alright, man and thanks I appreciate it!" then I said "No problem man, I watched your matches with Nigel Mcguinness back in ROH they were awesome man" and he said "Oh yeah I loved working with Nigel!" Then I said "Yeah its sad he had to retire so early" then he said "Oh yeah, he was great in the ring" Then Ambrose Reigns and Rollins all laugh and I was just standing there with a complete confused look on my face and Rollins pointed at Reigns and was like "Don't you want to meet Reigns to" And I was like "Oh yeah, Whats up Reigns!" (tbh i'm not a big fan of Roman I'm more of a Ambrose and Rollins guy) Then while Roman was about to say something else I looked back at Rollins shook his hand said "It was an honor man!" and he said "thanks for coming out!" Now its time for Roman, I'm a fan of Roman just not as big on him as I am Seth and Dean but anyways I said "When you first came to WWE I didn't really know you what to think but over this last year you have really impressed me!" and he said "Thanks man I really appreciate it" then I said no problem and shook his hand and that was it for Roman. Now its time for my favorite member of the Shield, Dean Ambrose! I went up to him shook his hand and said "Whats up Dean i'm a huge fan!!" he said "thanks" so I said "After you came to WWE I started watching alot of your CZW promos and i've became a huge fan, they were awesome!" (shoutout to Dean F'n Ambrose for showing me most of those promos)He laughed and said "that's awesome thanks bro" I said "Yeah I loved the i'm just a sick guy promo" He started cracking up and was like "Oh yeah that was awesome man" and then WHILE I'M ING TALKING TO DEAN AMBROSE THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME ALREADY STARTED GETTING THERE THINGS SIGNED AND THEY WERE SHOVING ME OUT OF THE WAY!!! Like are you ing serious? I spent 90 bucks to be treated like that!? Thats some poor customer service. Then he said "Damn man i'm real sorry that sucks" I said "No its whatever, man! See ya later!" Then he had to sign the next thing and on my way out of the store he looked up at me and said "See Ya man!!!" Not gonna lie I marked out like crazy! Dean Ambrose was the man! Def one of the coolest wrestlers I ever met. Overall great day but the place running this event sucked and were dicks. I still had a great time and will edit my post later tonight with what I got signed. The Shield are up there with Matt Hardy in terms of how nice they were to me! Awesome guys and did not disappoint! Heard this signing was a complete and total cluster . That Adventureland Store has a bad habit of poor service and disorganization. One of my friends went and he said the same thing that you both said. He complained enough that they gave him a "Platinum" ticket for a future signing and he got the cardboard standup of Roman Reigns. People makes mistakes. But any promoter who attempts to fix it....deserves recognition for that. Platinum ticket and a standup is easily making up for it. My friends did not receive such a gift.

I actually did the exact same thing you did to Reigns, only to Tyler Breeze, he was Mike Dalton at that time. It was the assembly line auto session at an FCW show and Dalton happened to be sitting next to Rollins, on the left. I've met Rollins a few times, and we are both Bears fans, and we've talked about baseball a few times, so I got into this conversation with him about the Bears and sports, and in the mean time he had passed my FCW program down to Dalton. I didn't even realize it. By the time we got done talking, I had skipped Dalton altogether because he had passed it on as well. I felt bad and I shook his hand, as I'm a fan of his as well, but it wasn't intentional by any means. So I completely get where you are coming from on it.
Anyway, that poster is sick. It's all about making it as enjoyable experience for you personally as possible and it sounds like you accomplished that. Glad you got to meet them.

To be honest I'm not really getting anything signed since I don't have anything for him to sign. I just want to meet him and take a picture with him. I don't know I have a whole month to decide if I want an autograph or not.
