Yeah, I found out about this last night. You forgot to list the date and time, which will be Saturday December 3rd from 12 P.M. - 3 P.M.
If the weather is good and it'll be a safe drive, I think I'll make the trip again. I've got some stuff I'd love to get signed like a MOC WWE Jakks Hart Foundation 3-pack with Bret, Anvil and Jimmy. I'll probably bring that for Jimmy to sign.
As for Greg and Brutus, I'll definitely bring their MOC WWF Hasbro figures. I used to have their single carded WWE Jakks Classic Superstars figures, but I got rid of a bunch a long time ago. I'm not sure if I still have them or not. If I do, they are in storage and it'll be pain in the ass to get them out.
If I still have them and can manage to get them out of storage, no doubt I'll be bringing them as well.

^ $10 is not too bad...altho i think i have a get together to go to on saturday so i will probably miss it.. also, i dont collect MOC figures, but if i collected MOC LJN's or Hasbro,s i would definately get this signed...altho I do have an LJN tag team poster of beefcake and valentine that could be pretty good to get signed!

Even though they are still advertising for all 3 on the Dr. Flea's website, if you go to www.wrestlingfigs.com and look up the Wrestling Autograph signings, now it says Jimmy Hart & Scotty 2 Hotty will be appearing. I'm not sure what to believe here.....

^Yeah, I saw that too. I believe the actual Dr. Flea's website more because the wrestlingfigs.com website listed signings like Rhyno, Paul Bearer, Lanny Poffo at times for Dr. Flea's and those signings never happened

^ i hope its the Dream Team still there..as then i MAY go to it... ive already gotten an autograph from Jimmy Hart at the Hogan Book signing in Toronto... actually i got even more than that from him, as i was getting two books signed by Hogan and for some reason, hogan gave my first book to the guy who was in line in front of me with his kid (the guy didnt have his own book) but he still took my book from hogan, even tho he knew he didnt have one..when i meet hogan, im like "you just gave my extra book away" and he was like "oh crap, sorry brotha" and then jimmy hart and i race over and track the guy down before he went down the escalator and then i chatted with jimmy for a couple minutes and he signed the books as well lol.. funny story

^ I went to that signing in Toronto as well. I got the book signed by Hogan and a WWE mat signed by Jimmy. Security was super strict that day, from what I remember. I can still hear the main security guy say that if you attempted to pass Hogan anything other than the book, you would be pulled out of line and would not have a good day.
I did bring some other items with me that day, but I waited like 3 hours in line and wasn't dumb enough to attempt to pass Hogan anything other than his book. It was cool meeting him though. He seemed nice and so did Jimmy.
But back on topic here, I too hope it's still Jimmy, Greg and Brutus appearing because I did get some stuff out of storage. I got a MOC WWE Classic Superstars 3-pack with Jimmy, Brutus and Hogan, as well as a MOC WWE Classic Superstars Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.
I will probably be spending the same as with the Demolition signing, which was about $50 and well worth it. It should be good. I'm looking forward to it.

^ cool.. i didnt go to the demolition signing, mostly because i didnt really have anything for them to sign, besides maybe an old WWF magazine... do you think getting the old LJN posters signed by Jimmy / Brutus and Greg would be good or not worth it (i dont collect MOC figures)..

^I don't know how big they are, or what they look like, but I think it's worth it. It would probably look nice framed too

I think the old WWF LJN posters are a PERFECT item to get signed. I've got quite a few of them signed in my collection. I've got Ax, Ted DiBiase, King Harley Race, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and George "The Animal" Steele to name a few. I actually have the Jimmy, Greg and Brutus WWF LJN posters, but they are in pretty rough shape because they are the ones I had when I was a kid and I put pinholes and stuff in them. They are like 25 years old, after all. But yeah, if you are going to this signing, bring those old WWF LJN posters for sure. Even though mine are in rough shape, I think I'll bring them too!! And Champ, here's what they look like. The pics are not the ones I've got by the way:

Just got back from the signing and it was a bit of a disappointment because yes, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine & Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake were not there.
I overheard Andrew Goodwin who brings in the talent, say that Greg couldn't get over the border. He also said Brutus wrestled last night in Buffalo and I guess Greg was obviously with him and Greg was Brutus' ride and if he couldn't get over, then they couldn't get over.
But yeah, I think it was a nice turnout for "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart & Scotty 2 Hotty. I got a bunch of stuff signed by Jimmy like my WWF LJN poster and a few old magazines and stuff. And just by chance, I did come prepared with a few items for Scotty to sign.
I'm actually glad Scotty was there because I got him to sign in my WWF WrestleMania X8 magazine and I've got that signed by at least 15 Superstars so far. So his signature is a nice addition.
On a side note, I've got to make mention someone else who was there, but wasn't a part of the signing itself. When I got there, I noticed a rather large gentleman and I thought to myself right away, "man, he looks ALOT like Stu and Bret Hart". I just knew it HAD to be a member of the legendary Hart family.
I seen a few fans get their picture taken with him and right then, I knew for sure he was someone of importance. As luck would turn out, it turned out to be Smith Hart. I went back out to my car to get the old WWF Superstars II magazine and I went back in and got Smith to sign on the inside page. I thought that was REALLY cool.
Meeting Smith Hart was a cool bonus. Overall, I am very glad I went. I am happy with all the stuff I got signed. I will have a video uploaded to my YouTube shortly. Stay tuned!!

^Just got back from the signing, shopping and grocering.
I was really disapointed to find out that the Dream Team wasnt there. If I had known that Scotty was going to be there for sure, I would've brought an WWF Wrestlemania magazine that has already been signed by Jericho and Christian. I gave the guy $10 just for a Jimmy Hart autograph because I didnt really care for Scotty, even though I had my Encyclopedia, my dad and I continued to talk to the guy in the yellow hat (the person that you give the money to) he said, like stated above, one of them (The Dream Team) couldnt get accross the border. After hearing that news I said to myself, "I should pay the extra $10 for Scotty's autograph cause The Dream Team ain't showing up". I told the cashier person that I'll get Scotty's autograph and was pulling out my wallet, but he said "it's okay, you can go" he let me get an autograph from both Jimmy Hart and Scotty for $10! I'll also upload a video on my autographs soon
