I attended the Deathproof indy show in Etobicoke that I mentioned will be having Steve Corino.
We got there at 5:20; 10 minutes before the VIP Meet and Greet was going to start. My dad and I walked into the venue (a bar) to see what was going on. We were talking to the door lady, and she was giving us all the details about the show, when it starts, etc. We explained that I was only there to meet Steve Corino. She told me that I still have to buy a VIP ticket, even if I'm not staying for the show (I think she thought we wanted to get in for free so I could meet Steve), but I told her that it was fine and that I'm willing to pay $30 for a VIP ticket. I paid for my ticket and my dad went back outside to wait for me.
5:30 came, and Steve Corino was still being interviewed by the Fight Network, so I had to wait a bit. When his interview was over, it seemed as if Corino was going backstage or something, so I didn't approach him, but he was actually going to a mini table near the stage... He didn't start signing autographs yet. As he was walking, apparently, my dad came back in and talked to the lady I mentioned. The lady then came up to me (with my dad following her), and told me "come on, I'll bring you straight to Mr. Corino!". When we went to Steve Corino, he was just getting ready to sign autographs. The lady explained: "This guy bought a VIP ticket and he can't stay for the show. He only bought it to meet you." Steve Corino said, "oh okay, no problem!" and said hi to me then started signing autographs:
He signed my ECW Commemorative:
He mentioned to me that the belt was huge. He even signed "32nd ECW World Champion" on it!
After he signed it, I told him that I have a bunch of items for him to sign and he said that it was no problem. I then handed him these two VHS tapes for him to sign. He seemed surprised and said "VHS?!"
I then had him sign three magazines. Two of them are in PWI magazines, and one of them is in an actual ECW magazine:
When I showed him that last one above. Again, he was surprised and said "Wow!" and he told me a story about the picture. He told me that it was taken at the event where Stone Cold gave Vince McMahon the stunner for the first time. He said that both him and his opponent saw something on the titantron, so when the picture was taken, they were both distracted at the titantron lol
Lastly, I had him signed these two DVD covers. When I pointed out Rhyno's signature on the covers, he told me "Yeah.. Rhyno is a very good guy!"
After, he took a picture with me, I thanked him, he thanked me, and we were off! Steve Corino was really nice to sign all of the items I brought. I apologized to him a few times because I brought more items than what a person usually brings, but he would always tell me that it was no problem. The people at the Deathproof show were also really nice.. nice enough to let my dad in for free before I met Steve Corino. This was great because this meant he could take pictures for me. He signed all eight items for free, so I spent $30 for 8 autographs and a photo-op, which is awesome!
JHTB® .. to answer your question about TRU. I went to the Dufferin Mall TRU. They replaced all of the pegs for wrestling stuff, except for one. The one peg that remains for wrestling stuff was the TRU Triple H figure.
Also went to two Value Villages and only picked up a Jakks Orton figure for $2.99
Thanks guys!
