So I'm going to attend that Cesaro signing today My dad is one of those strict parents that stresses the importance of school.. luckily he let me miss a day (I never 'skip') so I can attend the signing. That's awesome! Too bad I couldn't go because it was a bit too far and I have an appointment after, so I didn't really have time Hope you had fun! I really wanted to meet him! I just got back from the signing.. We basically walked there and then took the TTC back. Not much people. There weren't even posters up advertising the signing until 5 minutes before he came. He was a pretty nice guy and he even came early! A-Rock: Kane Collector .. it was nice seeing you there!

Nice gets champ! I also made it to the signing around 1230. He was getting ready to leave but signed all my items. Another 5 minutes and I would have missed him. There was nobody in line when I got there. I'll post a more detailed report and pics soon. On the way to the house show!

The house show was pretty good tonight. R truth came out before the show and took pics and signed autos for the fans. Ended up meeting him and Cesaro today. Heading to bed. Have to be up early for the convention. See you guys tomorrow

^Nice you got to meet R-Truth.. I would have gotten him in my encyclopedia.
The house show was fun, but all the good guys won which made the show predictable. On top of that, the first three matches were title matches and since title changes rarely happen at house shows, the winners were quite obvious, but at one point, I actually thought Cesaro was going to win the IC lol.
I'll post pictures tomorrow.. Too tired to do it now

^ i know i have some nice promo photos i could get signed, like the Jake one i got signed... but the issue is i sold them (well still have them) and allowed the person to do partial payments each month....the person wanted a few others too.. trying to see if the person will change for some others they wanted after we made a deal on 10 of them.... but i only messaged now so i doubt i will hear bring a bunch of extra stuff to the convention but i doubt im getting more than one item signed per person... ill have to see what the prices are lol..

good times at the Hamilton Comic Con.....sucks that George Steele didnt show up, especially after reading that article basically saying he was gonna do this one then thats it... ended up getting in for free and without waiting in any lines... saw the massive lines when i got there about 10:45-11...found some underground parking and then just took the elevator up to 3rd floor where the wrestlers were.. go to walk in, they ask for my stamp, told them i dont have one and they told me who am i here for, and i said "im here for the wrestlers" and she just let me in lol... ended up getting autographs of everyone and a photo op with dibiase...in the end, spent $135 total on 7 autographs, 1 photo op and parking... not too bad at all.. also the lineups were short, if any at all, so i was able to get all of my autographs in like 20 minutes lol.... everyone was in good spirits and seem to genuinely enjoy being there and seeing their fans, except honky tonk man.. he came off as kind of an bunghole... just stayed for the Q&A and then was out of there... too bad none of you came up to say Hi to me ....met up with arun and Champ as i usually do at these things.. and i think i saw Mr. Old School walking around but i didnt approach him... the guy with the wrestling merchandise table beside the wrestlers was pretty overpriced on a bunch of his items... some were ok tho... overall it was a fun 2 hrs that i was there and i would love for them to have more of these in the near future with some other guests...id be down to meet like 6-8 old guys every 6 months or so...

Just got in from the Con - what a long day.
Sorry I didn't meet up with anyone - I was all over the place and it was so congested in that area! Need a bigger venue or better layout.
Got my Ranger autographs and now see the Walter Jones one is smudged - ah well what can I do? All in a day of autograph seeking.
Sadly George "The Animal" never did make it to this Con, and I learned that HTM isn't the friendliest - even from the panel responses and interacting with fans. Maybe if I joined him in whistling 'Ring of Fire' he would have treated me better.

Yup the convention was packed today. Probably double the amount of people from last year. I got all the guests I wanted with the exception of steel who cancelled and Julie Newmar as she had a massive lineup. Also Austin St John had a pretty big line as well. Other than that I waited no more than 5 minutes per guest. Didn't buy anything as they were pretty overpriced. Like yeetman 13 mentioned one guy was selling a survivor series chair for $1000 bucks!!! I also got to chat with champ, yeetman13 and mr. Old school. Awesome to see you guys as always! I'll post pics ASAP.

As I walked outside from inside (where the elevator was) I am pretty sure that Mr. Old School was there...I think.
I chatted with Mike Rooth for a bit about old school wrestling (he was the guy that did the print on the program - got a black/white and colour version (plus a Rob Ford print) for $20.
I did notice tons of people taking pics of me with the wrestlers.. maybe the flag has reached a new level?? one can wish!
Mean Gene was fantastic today - I walked up to him and all he says is "where have you been, we've been waiting all day for you!"

Here's what I got signed at the EB Games Cesaro signing. I just parked under Yonge-Dundas Square and was about 30th in line or so. Good seeing you again as always Champ! Cesaro was a genuinely nice guy to talk to and had no problems signing items. I got him to write King Of Swing on my elite, hope everyone enjoyed the Hamilton Comic Con. I had to work but sent my buddy out on an autograph mission. Sucks about George, I really wanted my Legends signed but thats the way she goes.
