Man what an awesome experience that must have been! That's great you got to met so many legends. I'm especially jealous you got to met Barry Windham. He's been a favorite of mine since the mid to late 80's.

Awesome post. Lot of legends there. Not bad to meet 12 people for $200.

Nice haul! Sounds like you had an awesome time. Thanks! I definitely did, these conventions are awesome. Yea, I've seen the ad for the Big Event - looks fantastic. I've already pre-purchased a ticket to meet The Hardy Boyz that morning at Pro Wrestling World in Allentown...... That same evening - I'll be heading to Maryland for MCW's "Rise of the Horsemen" show, for a photo op with Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, & J.J. Dillon! So, my day on 11/14 is already booked with wrestling greatness! Ah, LOTR is actually hosting that Hardy Boyz signing. They're not seeing eye to eye with Big Event so it's no accident their signing is the same day. I'm debating whether to go get a Horsemen photo op WITHOUT Flair. It's Tully/Arn/Windham/J.J. but I'm not sure if I want to get it without Flair. I've already met Flair but...eh. Still debating. What do you think I should do? Perhaps the reasoning behind why Nikolai Volkoff was oddly referring to your GF as your "daughter", is because maybe he's got several cognitive disorders. Maybe it's a combination of brain damage from all the years wrestling, early onset dementia due to old age, or maybe English is a second language and he confused the words...I'm not quite sure. I know that I have a weird habit of calling people "Tony" if they fail to introduce themselves to me(which I find very rude and inconsiderate especially when people call or text me without identifying themselves I'll call them Tony on purpose to annoy them back)...It's a pet peeve of mine. Ah, we got that he was joking - we just didn't understand the joke lol. But what you said made perfect sense and Volkoff was a very nice man. The "girlfriend" thing is Nikolai's gimmick at these shows. He is a nice guy who enjoys making people laugh, smile. He likes making ladies feel good about themselves and feels as if referring to them being younger looking it will make them smile, feel good about themselves. He's a personal friend, 69 years old soon, in the best shape/health of his life. Ah, makes sense. That's so cool that you're personal friends! He seems like a great guy! Sounds like you had a great time, and awesome stories. Unfortunately I couldn't make it out to this one, but will definitely be going to the June 11 one. Hoping for a stacked lineup! It very well should be a stacked lineup! Its like the 1 thing in his life that Kerry did right. That and learning to be an awesome wrestler! ICW Yes actually! I met a few people. The only ones who weren't friendly enough as they should be are shelton and charlie Agreed! I met Shelton at an autograph signing in August and he said absolutely nothing to me. Haas just came across as...stern. Damn that's a lot of autos Looks like it was fun It was! Awesome autographs!! I hope I can attend one of these conventions one day. Not too far from me. Definitely go, man! Start saving for the June show! Supertickets go on sale in January! Again I print out my autographed pics from Google. $5 is priceless. Smart idea! Debra looks like she hasn't aged one bit She's a VERY petite woman! Still in great shape! Man what an awesome experience that must have been! That's great you got to met so many legends. I'm especially jealous you got to met Barry Windham. He's been a favorite of mine since the mid to late 80's. Ah, thanks! Meeting Barry was definitely something I've always wanted to do. Awesome post. Lot of legends there. Not bad to meet 12 people for $200. Thanks! I agree with you, $200.00 for combos of 12 (mostly) good guests is a good deal. |

I was the guy in the purple ravens sweatshirt at his table. Not sure if I was there at the time or not, I think I'd remember the Cactus shirt. I know he told the "daughter" thing to someone else that day. Some women eat it up, which is his desired result. |

I am jealous you got to meet John Morrison, Vickie Guerrero, and Jazz because I am big fans of all three.
