nice stuff Champ.. i quickly was on the fence about going tonight.. but considering i had family dinner till 7:30, and its about an hour each way, i may have just arrived at intermission to meet him.. oh well.. he isnt big on my list to meet/get signed, as i saw him and shook his hand quickly at WM18 fan axxess as i was going to the washroom. I left my WMx8 program with my buddy before i headed to the washroom and in the end, on my way back from the washroom to find my buddy, i ended up running into Booker T, Maven and Steve Blackman lol..
champ, is there no Harlem Heat section in the encyclopedia? i guess not if its just WWE.. cant remember

Mr. Old School™ too bad about your experience with Rey Mysterio. I met him over Wrestlemania weekend in California and he was pretty nice. Although we had to pay per autograph so that probably had something to do with it. I spoke to the vendor that weekend and he told me that Mysterio was charging $20 000 per appearance. Not sure how true that is but seems high even for Mysterio. The last two days have been crazy. Went to the Dan Akroyd signing yesterday. I was about the 50th in line. There were at least 350 people in line. Only problem is that the line moved extremely slow. Got a bottle of vodka signed. He was also signing any extra items people bought. I didn't want to overdo it and got 3 additional items signed. The guy in front of me must have gotten at least 10 items signed. Dan was a class act. He also took posed photos. Then today I took a trip with the family to Buffalo. Was hoping I would get lucky and find some figures. I went to two wal marts and a k Mart. The wal marts had e34 and the hhh/ bryan bp which I already have. Then I went to k mart and found this warrior which I really wanted. But other than that there wasn't much that I was interested in. Pics below.

ARUN that was the exact amount i heard Mysterio was charging for appearances which is insane since Matt Hardy only charges $5000, cool vodka bottle!

I'm still surprised at that number. Seems a bit steep. I read that hbk charges $10 000 an appearance.( don't quote me on that). Mysterio charged 50 U.S. per auto when I met him. But I got the vip package which was 250 for 6 autos and a photo op which I thought was fair. You have to consider that at Axxess wwe charges 175 us for the premium VIPs like Hhh and taker. That includes an auto and a photo op which is usually pretty weird since its over the table. I'm still interested in seeing what rey charges for an auto when he's in Toronto.

Same here, if he charges over $60 then it's not worth it. $250 for 6 autographs and a pic sounds like a great deal.

Get way more value for your money.

just FYI.. saw that Ultimo Dragon will be at the Rockpile Etobicoke on Aug 16th for Deathproof, for those that want to meet him
and i remember that flair charged $20k for his appearance for ROH here in Toronto back in 2009ish..
i think Honky Tonk Man's appearance fee for the flea market this past weekend was roughly $2k + all expenses (flight, hotel, food, transportation, etc)

Was at Dufferin Mall yesterday and decided to check out TRU just to see what they had... I ended up picking this up on clearance: It was only $19.90, which I thought was a solid deal.

Elite 34 at TRU Pickering! EVERYONE!! I think they just unloaded a case or two. Rusev isn't on a regular shelf with the rest, but he is on one of the shelves high above. Just ask an employee to get it for u.
And yes, there was still a Paige and a Doink. Everyone.

Guaranteed lance answers rhinos open challenge in a few weeks. Hes been involved at multiple hoh shows in the past. Id also guess the second booked surprise will be trish. Here's hoping for better, but my guess is that's what it'll be.
