A funny story about Emma
One time she tried to ignore and blow this guy off who asked for a pic but then her suitcase/gear bag got stuck on the concrete bumper thing in the parking spot she was walking past and she was pissed cause then she had to stop and take a pic
It was so damn funny cause you could SEE how pissed/embarrassed she was and the fact that the way her suitcase kinda jerked her back when it got stuck was too damn funny

Nicest by far is Cesaro - I met him in April of last year and had a conversation with him about his cage match with Luke Harper/Brodie Lee from Chikara. Overall awesome guy, I'd love to meet him again. Dolph Ziggler and Matt Sydal were also cool as hell, met both of them in 2014.
Biggest D bags were by far Al Snow and Big Show. Both of them just seemed like they didn't want to be there and barely said anything, just signed my stuff and moved onto the next person in line.

Nicest: Summer Rae
Earlier in the day I was at a Chris Jericho book signing, this was during the UK tour and got talking to a few people in the line and they were going to go the hotel afterwards so I tagged along, all the wrestlers seemed really friendly but most just made their way onto the bus because its started raining, then Summer Rae came out and took a picture and literally spoke with everyone there, even made sure the photo looked OK before moving on. Also met Sami Zayn on the same day, really nice guy.
Nastiest: Chris Jericho and Eric Bischoff
Same book signing I spoke about earlier, I was one of the first in line, been stood in line for over 6 hours. The guy was over an hour late, didn't even apologise and when I got to meet him, he didn't acknowledge me or anything I'd said. Not to mention according to people outside the hotel he had left after the signing had already scheduled to begin and then spent 10/15 mins speaking to Triple H/Stephanie, who had apparently signed for everyone and take pictures with everyone, which made me a bit upset just missed meeting my all time favourite for a half assed experience :/
Bischoff: I was at a convention last year and there was a wrestling panel, Bischoff, Jarrett, Rvd and duggan, panel finished, had to walk past the guys to leave, some people asked for pictures which they got, so I decided to ask Bischoff because I'd recently started watching nitro on the network so I was a fan to which I got "no, I'm busy" then he started looking through emails on his phone in front of me.

Wow....where do I start:
-AJ Styles was and has always been awesome. Basically had met him a time or two before. I was at a smaller TNA House show back in 09. Well, my dad had bought me a new program. I am a bit OCD and knew AJ was taking pictures in the ring and he would probably sign it. One of the security guys saw me with the Sharpie and said "HEY! NO AUTOGRAPHS!" Far be it from me to try I was a stubborn 18 year old at the time and after I took a picture I said "Would you sign my TNA Program?" He said "Yeah man no problem." I get out my sharpie he turns me around and starts to sign the autograph. The guy from security see it and starts flipping "HEY I TOLD HIM NO AUTOGRAPHS!" AJ cuts him off when he was legit trying to come after me and said "Hey man, I told him I would sign it before the show!" I have never forgotten that.
-Sting I met at TNA Sacrifice 09. Basically was nice and quiet. Everybody else was going "Oh hey I am your biggest fan etc." So I figured I would change the game up. I am really big into fitness and knew that Sting use to bodybuild. So I ask him "Sting, tell me, how can I get my bench press up? It's clearly my weakest lift." The dude lit up and smiled and said "Man, you and I could sit here all day and talk about ways to do that." Funny thing was, I never saw him smile all day until I threw out that random question. To my knowledge, probably the only picture he actually smiled in as well.
-Hogan was definitely cool. I met him recently as he did a signing at this big sports convention right after all the mayhem went down recently. Was awesome. My fiancé would not get in my picture with him because she didn't want to ruin "my moment" she claimed. But he was all about it. As a matter of fact he took multiple pictures with me and was extremely nice.
-Scott Hall/Kevin Nash/Sean Walkman-All really cool guys. Hall was on the comeback from battling his demons, Nash was pretty cool and Waltman was extra talkative. As a matter of fact my buddy and I thought we kind of seemed like butt holes because people were crying when they met them and such and we didn't want to come off that way. We shook their hands and said a few words and left.
-Kurt Angle has always been cool for the most part each time I have seen him.
-Paul London was awesome. The guy signed and auto and his sharpie was running out of color. He looked at it and said "TAKE THIS! I'm signing another one too." That night and his wrestling ability really changed my perception of him. Also, Sami Zayne who stayed in full El Generico character the whole time haha.
-Hacksaw Jim Duggan! Might have been one of the coolest guys as well. He legitimately took multiple pictures and decided that he was going to talk with my buddy and I for a good 10 minutes while his line was backed up. He wanted to show us his HOF ring and just talk for a minute. Awesome guy.
-DDP-another very cool guy. We talked about DDP Yoga for a bit which my buddy proceeded to buy. We talked about working out, wrestling etc. Very cool guy.
-Y2J-I went to his Fozzy concert (yes I legitimately like his music) and we got to go on his tour bus. It was cool to kick it with the band. My fiancé was there and Y2J was like Oh your from.....I use to go to strip clubs there all the time haha.
-EC3-Met him at the gym and saw him at a few other wrestling shows. Needless to say one of the coolest guys and he has remembered me every time. He asks genuine questions like how I have been, how my fitness competition went etc.
-Mick Foley- hot and cold. Saw him at two separate signings and he was two different people. He showed me his two faces of foley.
-Larry Zybysko- super cool. Enough said.
-Bobby Lashley-cool but quiet.
-Road Warrior Animal-didn't seem like he wanted to be there at all.
-Jeff Jarrett- cool but its been a long time.
-Sabu-cool but quiet.
-Jeff Hardy-cool and semi talkative depending on which occasion.
-Drew Galloway-super cool guy and took the time to talk to us about other wrestling events etc. We were the last people in line and the guy took his time with us.
---So many more but I would have to write a novel as I almost did.

Coolest I've met is Hacksaw. Super friendly, and instead of bringing 8x10s to sign, he brings thick pieces of wood that are like mini 2x4s to sign.
Worst was Vader. Was munching on an ensure bar and didn't give a damn we were there

Funniest one i've met is The Miz. He always makes jokes about everything. The nicest one? AJ Styles. After the show he wrestled in he was hurt but signed autographs, took pics and friendly talked with everybody. The Bellas were super kind, a pleasure to talk with her. Ziggler is funny as hell too, super friendly and always smiling.

One day he was my best friend the other day....."Yeah hey kid.....hows it going....?" Almost like GTFO of here.

If you don't mind me asking just curious to hear more about Sasha Banks and corey graves. Sasha banks was just not nice any time ive met her and after nxt house shows pretty much everybody else will stay and take pics and sign stuff and EVERY time she puts up her hood on her hoodie,hides and walks fast to the car and ignores the kids and stuff that can tell it her but they yell her name and she just walk on by them One time she did that (blew kids off) and went to the car like she was in a hurry but then had to wait anyway cause she rode with becky,bayley and another girl I can't remember but they all stood around and signed and took pics for like 30 min so Sasha sat in the car by herself while they all signed..it was pretty funny to see Corey graves kept me waiting for him to sign my card....never signed it or came back then the next time they were back here in Tampa I took the card and he was just not nice about signing it also sometimes after shows he would pretend to be on the phone and stuff when people ask him to sign and take pics and stuff Honestly Corey graves was cool until after he got the announcers contract from triple h the day of whatever takeover special that was he got it then the next time they came back around he was just kinda a dick to people and kinda big timing them...you could definatly tell the difference in the way he acted with people That's terrible to hear it's stories like that kinda just make you lose interest into someone.Especially if Children are calling you.

Hotel: WCW's Bash at the Beach 2000 was the first and only time I met wrestlers in hotels. It made me realize how much of jerks we fans can be. I don't regret the experience because I met a ton of wrestlers (big stars like Goldberg and Keibler) but I felt like a jerk afterwards since we were basically making it impossible for them to check in or leave the hotel for any reason. There was literally a huge congregation of fans wanting their autographs. SO, my take is that if I ever meet people in public by chance, I won't bother them. That said, Scott Steiner was the "worst" yet most memorable at the hotel. He refused to sign anything, and when he came down the elevator and saw the fans he let out a very audible F bomb. Best that year were Goldberg, Buff Bagwell, Spice, Tygress, Konnan who took a bunch of pictures with my family because we weren't sure how they were coming out, and Keibler. Appearances IN terms of appearances, I have yet to be disappointed. First convention appearance I saw was of Paige and Daniel Bryan. It was a VIP Meet and Greet at the Florida Supercon. Both were extremely personable and loved to talk with the fans. Best part of that was Daniel Bryan locking me in a headlock at my request. Best one though was of Ric Flair, but only because of the circumstances. Met him at the Magic City Comic Con a couple of weeks ago. Getting there from West Palm Beach was atrocious because Miami had a lot of road detours. I had purchased a Pro-Photograph package w/Autograph, and was running super late because of the detours. So much so, that when I finally got to the convention and found parking, there was 3 minutes left on the "scheduled time" for his professional photo. I still had to check in, and find where he was taking photos. By the time I got there, it was 2 minutes past his time. I was the only one in the booth and was getting a bit sad. My gf knew I was mad because when we were driving over, I began cursing up a storm over all the detours, and I tend to never curse. So I just kind of stood there dejected. Then, a worker came out, and asked if we had tickets for Flair. I said yes, and he said "let me see if he'll come out again." The guy disappears for a few minutes, and comes back with the Nature Boy who is all smiles. We then do the photo while flashing the Horsemen symbol and chat briefly as he has to get to the next booth to sign autographs. At that point I'm beaming. Not only did I get a photo with Flair, but it was technically a private photo session as it was only me, Flair, and the photographer. No one waiting in line for him. No one crowding the space. It was a one on one opportunity. We shook hands, did brief chit chat, and that was all. Until the autograph session. I know this wasn't directed at me, but while he was signing my Mattel DM Figure, someone in the convention went "WOOOOOO" and Flair, stopped signing my figure, looked up towards me, and let out his signature Woooo. Again, I know it wasn't at me, but the fact that I was face to face with Flair and got to experience a Woooo up close is something I'll never forget. He too was extremely personable during all of this. CHatted with the fans, and genuinely seemed appreciative to be there--just like how Daniel Bryan and Paige were. The only one I really want to meet at this point is the Stinger. AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Rollins, AJ Brooks, Kevin Owens, and Phil Brooks are the only ones I'd pay money to see, but if I never meet them, I can live with that. Sting is a must see. If I didn't already plan to take time off work for a week vacation in March, I would go to AXXESS to meet Sting or any of his other events that he's at. I just got to keep hoping and praying somehow he makes it to Florida. I wish I paid more attention to Sting's tenure in TNA. Not sure if TNA was still filming in Orlando when I finally got out of law school and had some semblance of free time, but that was probably my best chance at getting to meet the guy and I blew it

Never had a bad experience. Only a couple were meh. Just all women. I don't care much for getting autographs or my pics with the guys. The nicest....not in any particular order....all sweethearts!..... Tara/Victoria/Lisa Marie Varon Mickie James Brooke Adams Candice Michelle Velvet Sky Angelina Love Tracy Brooks Gail Kim Beth Phoenix Lisa Moretti aka Ivory Taryn Terrell "Just" very nice...... Katarina Waters aka Winter/Katie Lea Burchill April Hunter Mercedes Martinez Athena Reese Sarah Stock aka Sarita, Dark Angel Melissa Anderson aka Cheerleader Melissa/Alissa Flash Sassie Stephanie Molly Holly Nice enough..... Sunny (I know she has issues, but this was just after was inducted into the WWE HoF. She looked really good and was emotionally fine when I met her) Meh. Meaning pretty much just business like..... Teri Runnels Chyna (this was right after she left the WWE) Celeste Bonin aka Kaitlyn I think that is it. Nobody else jumping out at me.

Haha but still yeah, I was really surprised. One day he was my best friend the other day....."Yeah hey kid.....hows it going....?" Almost like GTFO of here. I've heard it a lot. There are even fans/wrestlers/promoters he has actually stayed with to save money on hotels etc and then acted like he didn't know them or didn't want to talk to them the next time he was in the town. He was maybe always a kind of weird/dickish guy and just had the persona of being nice that he played up to at times, but I think it got a lot worse as he got older and the effects of the concussions really kicked in.

Can't really remember meeting anyone who wasn't nice or at least good. I attended a Jericho signing and he was already late showing up and he had to be at Raw so when i asked for a pic he sad i can't do photos i have a TV show to be at which i laughed at and said ok. I think the only 2 that weren't friendly was Raven one time he just seemed irritated for whatever reason and Sabu said he would come back to sign and never did after an indy show. It was whatever though.

The nicest was probably Hogan. I met him in 2002 & he stayed an extra 3 hours to sign for every single person. I also photographed a Hogan Appreciation Day, when his back was a mess. He refused to sit down & gave every fan a positive experience.
I'm not going to say the "worst" because who knows what their issue might have been, if anything. But at WM28 Axxess, Del Rio only seemed interested in talking to good looking women. At another signing Lawler didn't talk to anyone, or hardly looked up when meeting someone.

I've seen her throw her hoodie up trying to hide and dart straight to the car ignoring kids and stuff calling out to her iv seen it more then 10x so i assume that's more of how she really is and if you catch her nice its an off day or something
