Yup.. the convention today was fun. Met all the wrestling guests except for Trish. I've already met George, so him not showing up wasn't the biggest deal, but I did want to meet him again. Honky Tonk Man seemed like he was having a bad day.. but he did joke with me. It was nice to chat with yeetman13 and Arun at the con. Also met up with @starman. Sold a poster to him. Very nice guy... nice to meet you! I'll make a write-up and post pics in the Hamilton Comic Con thread so this page doesn't get clogged up with pictures. A-Rock: Kane Collector.. awesome looking autograph!

Yup the convention was packed today. Probably double the amount of people from last year. I got all the guests I wanted with the exception of steel who cancelled and Julie Newmar as she had a massive lineup. Also Austin St John had a pretty big line as well. Other than that I waited no more than 5 minutes per guest. Didn't buy anything as they were pretty overpriced. Like yeetman 13 mentioned one guy was selling a survivor series chair for $1000 bucks!!! I also got to chat with champ, yeetman13 and mr. Old school. Awesome to see you guys as always! I'll post pics ASAP. Hey man, it was good chatting with you too. LOVED seeing your WrestleMania VI poster!! Man, that is an impressive item with all the autographs you were able to get on it. I know you added Honky and Mean Gene that I saw today. I think you said you have 25 signatures on it so far. All the guys that were on the WrestleMania VI card you said. That's awesome man!! I attended that card all those years ago and an item like that one, is so incredible to see in person. I was kinda tight on money, so I only got autographs from Honky Tonk Man and Mean Gene. I got them to sign their MOC WWF LJN figures. I already met everyone there prior at other signings and such and only really wanted to get my LJN's signed. And man, it really sucked that George "The Animal" Steele wasn't there. I would've got 2 items for sure signed by him and I wore my "I'm An Animal Lover" shirt, but was really disappointed when I noticed he cancelled out. That's really too bad as I was really looking forward to meet him again and it looks like that won't happen again. For those that think they saw me, I was wearing my white TapOut hoodie sweater, if that helps. I didn't notice anyone else from the site other than Arun. I did, however, see and HEAR that nutcase that ALWAYS attends these conventions. He's always there dressing up as different wrestlers and his girlfriend is always standing to the side filming the thing. Apparently, he was first dressed as The Undertaker and later changed to Bray Wyatt and also had two other guys dressed up as Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. I don't know how you couldn't notice him, as he was shouting at the top of his lungs doing his best Bray Wyatt impersonation. He just comes off as crazy and annoying. I've met them in person when he wasn't dressed up as I sold him my WWF Hardcore replica title on Kijiji and they stopped at my house to pick it up and they were a couple of nutjobs. He also attended the Niagara Comic Con when he was dressed up as Mankind wearing the Hardcore belt I sold him and then later changed to dress up as Shawn Michaels. They are wicked costumes, for sure, but the guy himself, is nuts. He's a kook. Him and his girlfriend both are, lol. But yeah, me and my buddy both thought the event today was pretty bad, compared to Niagara and Fan Expo. It was the most disappointing Comic Con yet. Overall, it was cool talking to you Arun and of course, meeting Honky Tonk and Mean Gene.

^^ great shots of the house show champ.
Mr old school- thanks man. That poster is one of my favorite pieces in my collection. I've obtained every single signature on it in person including hogan and warrior!

That's not a surprise though lol Squared Circle Wrestling is going to have Chris Sabin on Oct. 19. I might get him to sign my TNA program They will also be having Evan Bourne on Nov. 9. I wouldn't mind meeting Bourne, but the price is steep. To meet him, you need a $40 VIP ticket, which includes admission to the show and ONE autograph. Seriously? A regular ticket is $20, meaning that an autograph is $20 more.. They had Bret Hart last month and Bret was only 15 lol

Man, im glad i read this. I was planning on picking up power of pain and haku figs off of eBay tonight for goodwins signings. This guy is a piece of work. I wonder how many of these upcoming signings will actually happen. Sorry for the poor pic quality. Picked up this Jakks classic superstars lex Luger. 3 bucks at value village.

I remember getting that when it first came out in the US at a KB Toys in Pennsylvania lol. Just speculating here, but hopefully Morrison's signing is legit. He'll be at Santino's gym on the 26th and his Dr. Flea's signing is scheduled for the 25th I'd love to get him on my ECW Belt and Encyclopedia!

Thanks for posting that champ! I think that makes sense. If he's already here he may as well do a signing the next day. I may attend this one.
