Well, to top off an amazing night, we had little to no sleep at all, then hauled ass to Niagara (about a 3-4 hour drive).
I had heard rumours of a second guest appearing beside Christian to sign autographs, but never would have guessed it'd be the ANIMAL -- Batista.
Amazing response for these guys around 1pm. Got our auto's and went to eat.
Got back in line and were pretty far ahead. Got checked out twice by the same girl, and then waited for 4 hours in the sun for Booker/Rey.
They were about 5-10 mins late -- talked on the balcony as did Christian/Batista. Rey brought his family to Niagara. His daughter was alongside him signing auto's.
Pics should be up tomorrow.

Cool. I heard Roddy Piper (this could've been a different event than what you were at) had a surprise Piper's Pit segment. I heard some little kid had a good laugh at Bobby Heenan, pointing out that none of his clients were ever WWE Champion. lol
Were you at that one? Or was this just an autograph and speech event?

No, I wasn't at the Piper one. I was at the Border City show with Bret Hart. What happens is, the Wrestler would get out of his/her limo or car, have their entrance music played, and walk up their little "aisle" into the store. Once in the store, they go straight upstairs and make hand prints in cement, to recognize they've been to WWE Niagara Falls. After that, their music plays(I like the new edit of Christian's them - the beginning isn't the organ type thing -- it's a woman saying "And then I was Alive(or alone)" ) They would come out, speak on the balcony(I have pictures to show what I mean). After that, the line started moving very very fast. You couldn't get pictures with the stars, but you could take pics of them signing and their poses. I picked up a Best of WCW Mysterio at the store to get signed -- since Rey had already signed my Canadian flag. I had a freaking awesome weekend, and I don't want to come down from Cloud 9. I mentioned to Booker that he held this particular flag up at a house show, and he kept asking "is this the flag that I held up? Dat's cool dawg".
