We were mildly excited when Pro Wrestling World in Allentown, PA announced JBL would be their guest for an autograph signing in August.....
Our excitement became totally AMPED when Ron Simmons was added to the signing - resulting in an APA reunion!
Expecting a large crowd - we got there about 45 minutes early - this was a great move, as we were about 4th in line.... there were some presales that got to go ahead of us, but we did not wait very long once the signing got underway.
They started signing a little late - JBL was taking a tour of all the memorabilia at Pro Wrestling World.... I guess that's understandable & forgivable..... here's some cool memorabilia that was likely signed by Sgt. Slaughter about two weeks ago, when he appeared here for a signing:
I had an idea for this signing - I purchased a deck of jumbo playing cards at Five Below..... my goal? To get some photos of us "playing cards with the APA....." I wasn't quite sure how this would work - as it turned out, it was a fantastic idea !
I handed Farooq & Bradshaw some cards as we got in place for our photo..... I told them that we'd like to get our photo playing cards with the APA......
"We cheat." responded Farooq.....
"So do we!" was my reply.....
They immediately took issue with the fact that my wife had given herself a full house, while they were given crappy hands.... uh-oh, if there's one thing I know.... you don't tick off the APA when it comes to cards!
They really had a good laugh with my wife about the cards!
If there's one thing I know.... you should NEVER cheat the APA at a game of cards!
My buddy got in on the action, too! Ron Simmons got po'd, apparently he got a bad hand AGAIN...... you can imagine his response....
DAMN!
Overall, the cards were a big hit..... the guy behind me even asked if he could use them too..... and I think the APA got a kick out of it! Best part, now we have a jumbo deck of cards that was actually used by the APA...... they'll be a special memory for us!
After departing Allentown..... it was time to head off to Palmyra for some Legacy Wrestling! Another fun show.... featuring great action from AR Fox, Matt Cross, Shane Strickland, Lio Rush, Eddie Smooth, and many, many more!
Everyone, get out & support Indy wrestling!
Thanks for looking!
