I had the opportunity to go up to Chicago a few weeks ago for my second straight year of attending Wizard World and had a great time. Met up with some of my friends but sadly wasnt able to make it up except for saturday so i missed out on John Cena, Bray Wyatt, & Paige. But Ive met Cena before and now looks like i may end up going to Wizard World Ohio in November so ill be able to meet all 3 member of the Wyatt Family instead alongside Paige as well. Met Bruno Sammartino first was pretty cool meeting a Legend that was so important to what pro wrestling evolved into and evolved from.
Next up i was able to meet The Animal Batista which was awesome as ive now met all 4 original members of Evolution in person which is a cool accomplishment. Batista was awesome in person very cool and appreciative of his fans had him sign a few things for me.
That was all at Wizard World wrestler wise but yesterday was able to make the trip up to Heroes & Legends IV and even though they had a ton of cancellations which is the first time it happened on this scale as ive been to all 4 of the Heroes & Legends shows. I Had a great time and was able to walk away with some new quality meets and some new autographs to add to my collection.
"Mean" Gene Oakerlund - Just awesome to meet such a legend been one ive wanted to meet for a long time so it was awesome to have that chance.
Then i was able to knock a bunch of ECW people off my list ive never had the chance to meet with the Highlights for me being Tommy Dreamer & the entire b.W.o.
Sabu
Tommy Dreamer
b.W.o. - The Blue Meanie, Big Stevie Cool(Stevie Richards), & Hollywood Nova(Simon Dean)
Tracy Smothers
I also had Sabu & Tommy Sign this
And had them All sign this along with Al Snow who i didnt get a photo with this time around.
Bob "Hardcore" Holly - Was very cool and extremely nice glad to have the chance to meet him.
Gangrel - Fun to meet was having a good time meeting everyone.
Carlito - Carlito was late and i had to head off as i had to work so the promoter took me backstage to meet Carlito. That was something ive never seen before and was cool to see in person all the wrestlers preparing getting ready going over the matches in full gear it was just a cool thing to see in person.
Overall had a great time but sadly missed out on these cancellations Paul Orndorff, Ox Baker, Savio Vega, Juventud Guerrera, The Killer Bees, Hillbilly Jim, Katie Lea Burchill/Winter, Kevin Sullivan, & Lelani Kai.
Im now up to nearly 200 autographs in my encyclopedia which is pretty awesome.
