Since they're held by WWE, it is usually free, I have never had to pay or buy something when it is held by wwe (other than meeting Chris Jericho and Mr. Kennedy, which is because they were promoting their book and DVD)

Just got back from the Ryback signing and it was quite a turnout. Id say at least 500 people, if not more were there. I got there at like 7:30, I think and it was already lined up a fair amount. The people in charge passed out the 300 limited WWE admit one passes and I waited and waited and waited some more. There was this one mark in line and hes one of those friggin chatter boxes that blabs on and on and thinks he knows so much about wrestling, meanwhile I was right there and knew that he didnt know crap. He was saying to other people that WrestleMania 6 was in 93 or 94, and I was at the damn event and just wanted to tell him to shut up because he didnt know what he was talking about. He also was tellin people that Macho Man's real name was Randy Savage, meanwhile I knew all along its Randy Poffo, not Savage like this mark thought it was. I was rolling my eyes because this goof sounded so stupid. Anyway, I got my Tough Enough DVD signed and he seemed surprised to see it. He was really nice overall. Here are some pics I got from todays event. I also met Arda Ocal quickly. He was standing off to the side. I told him I loved the Aftermath show and he said thank you. Sorry about the huge pics guys. I don't have access to a laptop right now or else I would resize them and fix them up. I'm gonna get one soon though.

I just got back..... All I gotta say is wow.... So many damn people and I thought I wasn't going to get to meet him. I got there at 9:29am and it was already out of tickets. I heard someone say that the tickets were all handed out at around 7:30...... I waited for him to come and took TONS of pictures of him and then I left to eat and my plan was to come back and get something signed when he leaves. At around 11:40 I think I went back and got some more pictures of him and the the security said that he will meet everyone today and I was like hell yeah! Since the line was so freakin long I went back to McDonald's to sit and wait. I waited around 12:17 and went back, but it was too late. The security Sid that the lady's in front of me(2 person before me) was going to be the last 2. I just waited until it got to them to see what happens and luckily they person in front of me had 3 kids with him and a lady talked to the guy and they let them in so I followed them. Luckily the security let me in as we'll and I was the last one! I was so freakin happy!

Meeting Brodus Clay:
The signing started at 2, and school ended for me at 2:40. After school I rushed to Wal-Mart where the signing was and there was only like 5 or 6 people in line. I joined the line with my stuff and went up to him when it was my turn. I had him sign my Rumblers 2 pack of him and Del Rio. I had my program inside my encyclopedia and also had 3 trading cards inside my program. When I opened up my program, he said, "wow.. you ain't kidding!" lol, I told him that I was a huge fan. He also mentioned that I brought his favourite trading cards of him. He signed all of my items and posed for a pic with me. After I met him, the person behind me (which happened to be the last person) met him. After that, since there was no one left to meet him, Brodus left with a bunch of big security guards.
Meeting Ryback:
Got to the Ryback signing at around 8:30 this morning. I was disappointed to hear that tix were already given out and there was none left. Apparently, some people even lined up before the store even opened. Tickets were for the first 300 fans, and I must've been like the 330th one there. Despite this, I waited for a while because those who had no ticket still had a chance, but there was no gaurantee. There was well over 500, 600 people there and the crowd seemed really excited to meet him. He was scheduled to stay there until noon, so some of the people who had no tickets started chanting "stay till one! stay till one!" lol. Just before noon, the security guard called over the line of people who had no ticket. We were all going to meet him, but the thing was that there would be absolutely no photos (even non-posed ones) and only one autograph per person (your item) plus a free 8 by 10 photo. When I approached his table, he stuck out his hand for a handshake and signed my program and an 8 by 10. He also thanked me for waiting (waited for almost 4 hours!) Sure, there were other items that I would have liked to get signed, but Im not going to complain as I'm happy I actually got to meet him. At that Wal-Mart, I picked up B25 Brock Lesnar and B26 Randy Savage. I also went to 3 Value Villages on the way home, but went home empty handed.
Overall a great few days!

Really? you didn't get a picture and you only got one thing signed? I got 3 things signed: encylopdia, a card and the 8 by 10 photo and got a picture too! It was very cool to be the last one!

^Yeah.. not allowed to get a pic, and I got two things signed. They probably let you take a pic because you were the last one.

The lady standing in the front that lets us in said that you can't take pictures, but everyone just took them and Ryback posed for all of them as well.

Wow, sounds like you guys got lucky with your autographs or pics. I think when the line started, the people in charge said if you didn't have an autograph ticket, you weren't gonna get one. Im glad he stayed longer to make sure you guys went home happy. That's a classy move because some wrestlers leave early before their signing time, like Rey Mysterio Jr., the scumbag.
They just take the money they were paid for the appearance, cut the line off mid-way, and leave early and say to hell with all the fans that were waiting for hours, like me. That says a lot about that friggin guy. He's a dirtbag and I will never waste the time to try and meet that Oompa Loompa again.

^Are you referring to the Vaughn Mills signing?
Yeah, I was really happy that Ryback stayed longer than he was supposed to. Technically, I wasn't supposed to meet him, but he still said "thanks for waiting", which I thought was really cool and nice of him.

Yeah, he is a really nice guy. I saw someone tip over the drinks and spilled on him when something got cough to the cloth on the table when the guy was leaving.

Yeah, that sounds like the signing I was at a few years back. I heard from security, Rey got paid $100,000 per hour and was scheduled to sign for 2 hours, but he left early and said to hell with all the rest of the fans that went home disappointed and empty handed, not to mention sun-burned as well from waiting so long outside. Rey is a turd, bottom line. He proved to me he doesn't care about his fans, only the money they were paying him to appear.
Were you at that signing, Champ? If so, how did you make out?

I almost decided not to go at the last minute since it was pretty far away but so glad I did anyway. Got a signed picture and photo with him. This was my first time meeting a WWE Superstar. Hope to meet him again since he's super nice.
What other WWE Superstars are known to be nice? Wouldn't want to have bad encounters or go out to a signing for nothing like a Rey signing...
How often does WWE do these signings? I think I'll want to attend these events more. I wish Tensai held a signing as well since Brodus did too. I would've so gone to the Brodus signing if Tensai was also there. I really hope the good turnout at the WWE Toronto show means we'll be getting more WWE events here in the future.

He was genuinely friendly and was great WWE itself doesn't do these signings too often. They usually do it only when they're in town.

They usually do it only when they're in town. Sadly, I'm not really familiar with Roddy Piper as he was way before I started watching. Haven't followed WWE until the start of 2012, but I read this was the first time in like 7 years that WWE has been in Toronto. If that's true, I really do hope the good turnout means they'll do more stuff in Toronto again. I would hate to have to wait so long before being able to meet a current Superstar again. There's many others I'd love to meet. There's also a new stadium that's going to be built in Markham in the next few years. I really hope they use that as a venue. Would be much closer for me.

Isn't that the replacement for the ACC??
I remember hearing it on the Global news at 5:30 a few weeks back.
