Lex Luger Vader Scott Hall Kevin Nash Mankind George Steele X pac Kelly kelly Virgil (lol) Ted Dibiase Marty Jannety Jimmy Snuka King Kong Bundy Doink the Clown Tito Santana Jimmy Hart Bob Backlund Rvd Nikolai Volkoff Jerry Lawler Melina Ted Dibiase Jr.
Probably a few I'm forgetting. All postive experiences with each one.

You've been here long enough to know you don't "/thread" your own post! I'm used to telling rookies this, not seasoned vets. God damn boy! Dude, you've known me long enough to know I dont follow trends.....I set them.

This past june they had a thing here in tampa which was organized by Joe malenko to help raise money for a championship wrestling from Florida wall of fame for the Amory which was gutted and is being remodeled the deal was you were guaranteed 2 auto and a pic with everybody that was there and you also got a shirt and a buffet type deal so I got to meet
Ricky steamboat-got basic 45 steamboat and a card of him from his fued with Jericho signed
Bushwhacker luke- I just got a card signed
Kofi Kingston-elite 27 figure and a card signed
Roman reigns-elite 26 figure and a relic card with a piece of his shirt signed Now at this point I got stuck in line between Kofi and roman this was like the wendsday before mitb so I got to just basically got to hang out and talk then them both for about 15 minutes since they were sitting next to each other and they were super cool I wished roman good luck and told Kofi everybody knows he isnt winning mitb but it was all in good fun
Dean malenko-got a card signed
Rocky Johnson-got 2 cards signed and talked for about 5 min about my beard which was pretty cool
Gerald brisco- got 2 cards signed but one I accidentally smeared
Jimmy hart-got a card signed he seemed surprised I brought something for him to sign and seemed very appreciative of the fact
Terry funk- got 2 cards signed But he was sick and said this would be his last signing as he was to sick to travel but he sucked it up cause what Tampa ment to him and his family also dory funk Jr was there with him
Ric flair was advertised but couldn't make it cause lebron James invited him to the cavs NBA finals game but he flew in the next day on his own dime and did a signing in the parking lot of the old armory for anybody that had a ticket to the event which I thought was very very cool I even got to meet Fifi the maid lol but I got him to sign my defining moment figure and the 4 horseman set but he wasn't very talkative as this was a day or two after dusty died so I understood his somber mood
There were a lot of other wrestlers there that I just had sign the shirt they gave me which includes tugboat/typoon,hector Guerrero, brian Blair,Norman smiley,Steve keirn,JJ Dillon,Bob cook and others I can't really remember right now also a lot I didn't have sign anything as they were wrestlers I wasn't really familiar with but I know I know they were stars back in there day
Now outside of that I've met
Billy gunn- got elite 27 signed after he was a supise at an nxt house show to team with Finn balor vs Kevin Owens and Tyler breeze
Now the rest I only got cards signed
Bayley Baron Corbin Viktor Enzo and big Cass Alexa bliss Marcus Louis Sami zayn Tyler breeze Corey graves Bull dempsey Jason Jordan Charlotte Tye Dillinger cj parker
And I have this nxt thing I guess its to hold photos or tickets idk but so far on that I've got signed
Finn balor Kevin Owens Bayley Enzo and big Cass Alexa bliss Dana Brooke Sasha banks Tyler breeze Solomon crow Sami zayn And one of those mat things they give you I got signed by becky lynch

Some of my favorites are Young Bucks(met 3x, meeting them again in 2 weeks) they are awesome, always nice to me.
Rich Swann- was waiting to leave a show and I had my Chris Hero shirt and he started to talk to me about Hero and more stuff
Adam Cole- such a nice guy. I talked to him for almost 15 minutes
Biff Busick/Drew Gulak- they talked to me about who my favorite wrestler is and why, if I want to be a wrestler when I get older, also talked BOLA with me

I've met a whole bunch of the current roster as in Orlando it's pretty easy. Every time they visit amway it's pretty easy to meet them as they all park in the parking lot across the street and they walk across the street. Some choose to keep walking but some often to stop. Met Reigns and Dolph and Titus at the double tree was funny to see they had gotten dropped off by Bray in his personal jeep. Dean was a funny one, after the show last time they held Raw back in Feb , guard rails are holding fans back and dean was walking to his car with Rene and everyone's calling him and he says " IT I'll sign and take pic" Randomly met Wade Barrett at the airport. Walks right out of Starbucks or dd completely forgot and just see this tall dude and said that's Barrett lol. pretty sure I've posted about it before.

Back in the day, I've met plenty of superstars.. Now it's Comic Cons that I meet people at.
Was wearing my "meh." shirt and King Kong Bundy had no idea what it meant. I explained it to him and his wife said his grandson says it all the time.
He asked about the WWE50 autographs I had gotten and was impressed by the handful I had so I showed him the signed Canadian flag I had been getting signatures on since 2002 - he said he would love to pay me to sign it. I asked how much he wanted for the autograph after he signed it (after all, it is Comic Con), he said nothing. I said thank you and he said "meh" and laughed.
I also had dinner with Lanny Poffo the day before Niagara Comic Con this year - he was sitting two tables away at the casino and I had said hello when getting food. He noticed I was sitting alone and moved his stuff to my table and we had a nice conversation over dinner.

Both are two great guys who will talk with fans about anything and everything and make the experience so much more enjoyable.

I haven't been to signings outside of Indy shows and I have a question.
When tickets for combos are advertised as including one autograph and one photo op, is the autograph only on what the wrestler has at their table, or can you bring something to get signed? Or is that consider an extra signing?
Thanks.

Didn't realize there was a meet and greet thread... For those who haven't seen my post on the Mattel board, I wrote a full write-up of when I met Stardust and Stephen Amell.

Never meet a wrestler personally but I will be in about a month. There is a local show at a local high school about 20 minutes from where I live and for some reason or another Mickie James, Matt Hardy, Jerry Lawler and Mick Foley are going to be there...So I have to hit that up.

All great people to meet.

Matt another super cool guy have met him before, also haven't met Foley or Lawler but I've always heard nothing but great things.
