I will post my autograph of Taker in a little while. He signed autographs in a blocked off portion of a hallway, he talked to everyone a little bit but you couldn't shake his hand since the staff was rushing everyone through. A plus was he signed everything in a purple paint pen. The Photo Ops where expected, everyone was heard through like cattle, the staff kept saying, you had 7 seconds then you move on. It was great seeing TheChamp617 , ARUN and his brothers again!

When I got my WWF Hasbro figure signed, I thanked him for not cancelling and we all appreciate it and I DID get a handshake from him. 😊
Good seeing you Blair and chatting with you. I posted the pics on Twitter for those that want to see them.

just got home - an accident on the 401 delayed me about 20 minutes.
Good chatting with a few board members!
Don’t remember if he shook my hand but they quickly said no to my regular sharpie. He had a special black and purple sharpie only.
The security in the photo op area told me “no flag” when I was walking in. The guy already had my bag waiting for me at the exit. So I wasn’t stuffing it in my pocket, quickly asked Taker if he could hold it, he said sure, and by the time we were done, security was angrily saying “he was told no!”
$620 later, I’m sorry if I feel entitled to ask someone to hold my flag. I took no more time than anyone before or after me.
Hamilton looks ok, but I’m honestly unsure if I want to go to conventions run by these guys. If you got the program, the guy running for city council - that’s the guy that runs both shows.

Foley (please correct me on this), Steamboat, Terri Runnels, Godfather and one other I believe.

They are probably low level employees elsewhere and are probably getting paid very little or volunteering at these things but the power to tell a fan "no" is all they need to feel important.

Yeah, the NFCC program is advertising Mick Foley, Ricky Steamboat, Ted DiBiase, The Godfather and Terri Runnels for Hamilton comic con.
However, due to Terri's recent mishap with the law, I'm thinking she won't be able to get across the boarder and appear.
I really hope she is able to appear as I have yet to meet her and she'd be my main reason I'd go.

Dead Man Walking.... here’s the autos my brothers and I got today. keegandimitrijevic01 Amazing autos buddy! Love how they came out! Mr. Old School™ good seeing you and A-Rob briefly today I was in line for Takers autograph and got cut off because he had to do photo ops. We were told to go get our photo and come back to the front of the line for our autograph. The staff changed and wouldn’t let us do as they promised. So we had to wait almost an hour because of this. I ended up missing Slaughter and Kevin Conroy which I’m reeallt disappointed with. Taker was cool though. Very nice to my family and I. Also posted some more pics on t twitter if anyone is interested @3collectabros

What a day! Started off on a scary note when the website didn't show my autograph ticket, luckily front desk got that rectified and got it. Overall for my first comic con it was great! Met a lot of cool wrestling fans, I got there for 12 and the line was just building. Ended up having to take a photo first and by the time that finished I was able to get my autograph within 15 minutes. Taker was great, I sensed how tired he was when I saw him so I just thanked him for his time and asked him how he was feeling. That photo printing section was a mess, apparently a lot of peoples photos got mixed up; the printers would print Kobra Kai, Undertaker, Office meet and greets in no particular order so I waited nearly half an hour for my photo to print.
Again, it was great; I'll be more cautious about getting their earlier so I can see the rest of the vendors and offerings. Hopefully the next one I can connect with you guys!
Cheers to a great Comic Con!

Fantastic stuff keegandimitrijevic01 looks like you dropped a couple k's today. Awesome stuff ARUN all the autos turned out great, i would guess Kevin Conroy would be at Fan Expo this year. Here's my Taker Autograph, really happy how it turned out and that i went with this figure, sadly i can't use the box it came in anymore.

Glad to see so many success stories. I had another helluva time getting there today -- yesterday there was a huge accident on Grand Island, I was about halfway there, so I turned around and sped to the Peace Bridge and then waited at that bridge for like an hour lol ... today, also waited like 45 minutes at the rainbow bridge and had issues parking. Oh well, all's well that end's well. Had a good interaction with Taker -- just thanked him for everything, said I appreciated it all. He was appreciative. I'm so glad I paid for the speed pass because I got there at like 12:15 after all the hassle from this morning and waited maybe 20 minutes in line. I was kind of thrown for a loop when they wouldn't let us use our own markers -- for $600 Canadian if I would've ended up with black sharpie on these figures I would have been absolutely furious. Thank god they had the purple paint pen. I wanted different colors on each of my figs but all purple would have been my choice if I had to choose one, so honestly got lucky there. Here's my haul from the weekend! Super happy with it all, though this con is always a bit exhausting for me with border/traffic/unexpected issues lol. Also that's disappointing about Hamilton so far. I had an absolute blast at that con last year -- no issues getting there, the best selection of stuff from vendors out of all the cons I've been to, and no lines at all for the wrestlers. But I've already met all of those folks (except Terri, and yeah she probably won't be there) so a bit disappointing. I'll still probably go if I can.
