They have added Verne Troyer and Ken Kirzinger to the guest list. Met kerzinger 2 weeks ago at the super fan comic con. I'll likely get Verne troyer to sign a mini me figure.

Got my ticket as well... Well... My tickets were included with my NFCC VIP ticket purchase. Awesome! I thought about grabbing VIP for this convention since it's only 100 bucks. But I don't see anyone except for Julie newmar and trish stratus having much of a lineup.

Do you guys think there will be any other wrestlers appearing at this event like Tatanka, Virgil, The Iron Sheik, etc?? Sometimes, certain wrestlers make appearances whether they are a part of certain events or not. Sometimes they have their own booth set up, so you never know.
This is the first "Legends of Wrestling Reunion" for the Hamilton Comic Con and I was just wondering if you guys thought there would be other guys appearing either part of the reunion or on their own.
For a "Legends of Wrestling Reunion", I really hope they add more names. I would love to see guys like "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, and other old-school superstars make an appearance at this event.
That's why I was SO excited to meet The Killer Bees at Niagara Comic Con because I know how RARE a Canadian appearance is for those guys. The last time they appeared in Canada together had to be '86 or '87, that's why I hope guys like Orndorff and Orton make an appearance.
They used to draw HUGE crowds in Canada back in the day, especially The Big Event at CNE Exhibition Stadium, which is no longer there.
Anyway, I would just like to see some "rare" names get added. Guys that make rare appearances, rather than the usual names we are used to seeing.

I could see Virgil showing up as he does this at several conventions and toy shows that I've been to. I met Orton an orndorf in jersey during mania 29 weekend. Both were really cool. I hope you're right though. I really would like to see guys who haven't appeared in the gta. Other than George Steele, all of these guys have been around for signings before. Also this is a much smaller convention so maybe they want to test the waters with the wrestling portion to see how successful it is. I do however see trish having a big line as she usually does. The other guys I imagine will have have little to no lines.

So here is my experience at the comic con today: I got there at around 11:20 and then waited for another 20 minutes to get in. Lots of people on the first floor, so I went straight to the third floor where I immediately found yeetman13. Chatted with him for a bit and then we both met Tugboat together. Just like the first time I met him, Tugboat was pretty cool and was willing to chat with his fans. I got him to sign my encyclopedia as Tugboat because I already have him as Typhoon. He was charging only $10 on personal items and $10 for a photo-op which I thought was decent. I expected him to charge $20 for an autograph, which was my limit per wrestler, so I happily paid $20 for both an autograph and a picture with him. For photo-ops, he lets people try on his Shockmaster helmet. I'm a little sick, so I didn't put it on. Even if I wasn't sick, I still wouldn't have put it on. I just held it for the photo-op. Thanks yeetman13, for taking the pic! I then move onto Bushwhacker Luke, who I felt pretty bad for because while other wrestlers had lines, he did not so he was just on his phone. He was also only charging $10, which was pretty good. He originally was a "maybe".. meaning that he wasn't a top priority to get. If he was charging $20, I would have passed. I got my Post Honeycomb poster signed by him. I thanked him and he responded "no problem, mate!" I then met the Honky Tonk Man, who I believe was charging $25. A little over than I wanted to spend, but I really wanted him in the encyclopedia. He seemed like he was having a bad day, but still he joked with me. Howard Finkel is on the next page in the encyclopedia, so he said "if I close it this way (left side over right side - Honky's page would go on top Howard's) then I pin Howard 1..2..3.., right? But if I close it the other way, Howard would pin me! What are you going to do?" lol.. I pinned Howard for him and he smiled and said "enjoy the convention!" I then moved onto Howard Finkel, who was charging $20. He asked for my name and whether or not I wanted the autograph personalized. I told him my name and that I wanted it personalized. I thank him then move onto Ted. Ted DiBiase was also charging $20. He would talk to you if you wanted to, but I didn't have anything to say to him, so once he signed my book, I thanked him and moved on the Mean Gene. I was in line for Mean Gene, and the handler told me that Mean Gene was going to go on break and that he would be back at 1:30. It was just past 12 at this point, so I'd have to wait over an hour for him. Anyways, I then go the Hacksaw, who had the longest line, probably because it was moving the slowest since he took the time to talk to each and every person. As I'm about to meet Hacksaw, I notice that Mean Gene wasn't going on break and that people were still going up to meet him. Ugh lol.. When I went up to Hacksaw, who was charging $20, he asked for my name. I told him my name was Alex and he responds by saying "Hi Alan!". The handler corrects him by saying, "he said Alex".. close call. He almost made my autograph out to Alan lol. He asked where I was from and he asked if I watch today's wrestling. I told him that I did, and then he asked for my favourite current wrestlers, which I responded that I don't really have a favourite right now. After he signed, he thanked me and quickly asked if I'm having a good time at the con. Such a nice guy! After I met Hacksaw, I see yeetman and Arun chatting, so I go up to them and say hi as well. It was right before the Wrestling Q & A, so after chatting with them, I quickly go and meet Mean Gene (also $20). He was pretty funny towards the guy in front of me. Mean Gene asked the guy "Where are you from".. and the guy tells him the city. Mean Gene continued "what street?"... and the guy tells him the street. Mean Gene continues "What number?" and the guy tells him the number. The handler asked "What are you going to do? Go to his house?" and the guy responds "I'd love that!". Mean Gene responds: "I have no idea where that is!". When I met Mean Gene, he also asked me what city I'm from, after he signed, he asked if I wanted my name on it and I said sure and told him my name. Another really nice guy. Overall, a really fun event. It was nice chatting with yeetman, arun and starman. Honky Tonk seemed pissed, but still joked with me, so that was ok. Everyone was pretty nice.. not a single complaint!
