So I finally have a chance to do a quick recap of meeting Rey, Trish and Lawler at Florida Supercon a week ago.
First, I cannot stress how much I hate Florida Supercon. They pick a venue that, while having multiple entry points, closes off all but one entry point. So the traffic can be and is often horrible. Last year, it took me 4 hours to move 2 miles. That was on a Saturday, and the supervisors claim that Sunday is often better. It was.
So I get in around 1pm. Mysterio is signing as is Lawler. I have met Lawler on prior occasions and was trying to see if I wanted to meet him again as I was cosplaying this year and a pic might turn out cool. I figured I'd meet him on the way out if I still had money in the end.
Rey Mysterio:
The man is a class act all the way, and super friendly. We chatted about how my brother and I loved him when we were growing up. I got him to sign my WCW Cruiserweight Title (It now has his auto and Chavo's auto). I'll post a pic of that later. No one was in line for him at that time (it was around lunch) so we chatted a bit more. Just random stuff. Didn't want to bother him too much.
Trish Stratus:
She wasn't available till a little after 3pm, so I just waited near her area and met Rachael Leigh Cook in the meantime. I met her previously at Wrestlecon, and was just doing this to get another auto as the magazine at Wrestlecon didn't come out that great. Also asked her about a prior autograph I got from her in the mail. This was about 2 years ago, and I was skeptical about sending it in, and wanted to see if I had the right emails and whatnot. She confirmed it was real (I was being overly skeptical), and then we talked a little more briefly before posing for a pic. She was cool with giving the too sweet symbol.
Lawler:
Ok. So since I didn't spend much, I figured I'd get a pic. Asked Jerry to do the "too sweet" symbol, and he couldn't remember exactly how to do it. So I showed him. Great guy as always. Super fun to chat with. As I had to get back for my bday dinner my parents were throwing me, I had to leave so I didn't interact with him too much.
