For POP/Stan Lane, I had down there ''Philly memories'' and man they lit up reminiscing about the old days. Berzerker I had down ''Fav Fuji rib'' and he told of a time he cut a famous guys(he didnt mention who) pants in two lol. You ever partake in a virtual signing? I will say it beats standing in a long line. |

No never virtual. And honestly I only ever paid to meet three wrestlers in my life. Piper, Sting & Bret. All three were class acts. I did meet Snuka at the Piper signing but I hadn’t purchased a ticket for him. But he was friendly as well.

Yeah I wasnt into autograph sessions much myself back in the day but the one I wish I did get a chance to meet was Piper. Every story I heard about fan interaction with em was positive.

I did meet Snuka at the Piper signing but I hadn’t purchased a ticket for him. But he was friendly as well. That’s me as well, I rarely do the meet and greets because I have no idea what to say to even my most favorite wrestlers haha, like what do I even say? The only personality I honest to God would like to meet is Stephanie McMahon because I have an insane story that I’d love to tell her and see if she remembers. My Grandmother actually worked in Greenwich High School and I remember like it was yesterday she’d always be telling my Dad about this nice girl that helps her out at work, her name was Stephanie, she’d always ask my Grandma how everything was going and was as sweet as can be to my Grandmother. She’d help her out during her lunch break in the office. This was before Stephanie was on tv so none of us would have had any idea who she was if we saw her, didn’t even know Vince HAD a daughter, but anyway on the last day of school she gave my grandmother a card and it was signed Stephanie McMahon. We were always big wrestling fans as kids so my Grandma knew the name McMahon and she said something like, “You’re not McMahon, like the guy who does the wrestling are you?” And Stephanie said something like yea that’s my Dad, why do you watch? My Grandma said, no but my grandkids love it. Stephanie said, awww you should have said something, I could have gotten you free tickets and stuff 😑. I have heard that story so many times…So anyway, my Grandma knew Stephanie McMahon in High School. I’d love to ask her about it and see if she remembers it. I like the story though because my Grandma was as ignorant to who she was as can be, she would just always come over the house and tell us how sweet this girl at work was and how she’d help her out during her lunch break and stuff, the Stephanie she was talking about turned out to be Stephanie McMahon haha. I thought she would appreciate hearing that story though, it might jog her memory even if she didn’t remember any of it. |

I’ve met very few wrestlers in person. Randy Savage and Bill Eadie were great and seemed like nice guys.
Bret Hart was a big disappointment. It was a card show in ‘98 and Bret was let’s say not very busy as in I was the only person that went to him for the half hour I was there. It felt almost like I was bothering him to come get a Polaroid with him have it sign it and push it my way and that was it. Just kind of left me a bit cold. I suppose some people just have bad days and chalk it up to that mostly.

The only personality I honest to God would like to meet is Stephanie McMahon because I have an insane story that I’d love to tell her and see if she remembers. She does seem like she would be a really good person. I don't like her heel character at all but I imagine she learned a lot from how her father did business with guys in the 80s and early 90s, keeping guys on lifetime employment or bringing them back for shows so many times. If she were to ever run WWE as the top person I imagine she would have certain people she would keep on for years or keep bringing back whenever they needed a career boost. Bob Orton is a really nice guy, he's a bit quiet but he carries himself like he does care about the fans. It's his actions that speak the most. He comes off like a guy who would just walking around a store, not bringing attention to himself but is nice to everyone he meets in the store. I met him 5 times, 4 being free and he was always very kind in the way he treated me. I wish I had taken a bit more time to chat with him because I know he has decades worth of great stories. But like a lot of old school guys, the best chats you will get out of him aren't wrestling, they are chats about every day life. That's the kind of guy he is, a famous hall of famer but the little things are the most important to him. |

That's the kind of guy he is, a famous hall of famer but the little things are the most important to him. It’s a funny thing because I lived in Westchester NY growing up, so I’d pass the WWF headquarters routinely and Greenwhich was like literally 5 minutes away from my house. My best friend growing ups Dad cleaned the Jets at Westchester County Airport. That where Vinces private jet would fly out of when he came back home. So his Dad would see Vince all the time, as would a lot of people locally. Vince would go out to eat in Westchester all the time, everybody always said he was the most personable guy you can meet. A gentlemen and just a nice, genuine guy. I have a little bit of a different perspective of the McMahons and the WWF because it felt like a hometown thing and I have a lot of weird connections to the McMahons. None of them know me, mind you haha, but a lot of people in my life have crossed paths with them on a personal level, my Mom had a friend who worked in the headquarters, she’d get us autographs, I have one of Hogans real shirts he’d wear, like from him, signed to me. She use to get me all the WWF Hasbro figs, otherwise I wouldn’t have any of the hard to get ones haha…so it’s fun to have that perspective of a company I grew up loving anyway. But yea, they all seem like pretty good decent people. |

I suppose some people just have bad days and chalk it up to that mostly. Both him and Smash seem like down to earth good dudes. Every shoot I've seen, they seem to be calm and just overall guys you could sit down with and shoot the sh**. As far as Bret goes, yeah I've heard stories of fans saying there was times it seemed like he didnt care to be there/mostly quiet. Other times he was real nice. So yeah def depends of what kind of day they're having. |

I received my order from Highspots today, so my 28 year wait for a Lex Luger as The Narcissist is finally over. I really like what these companies are doing with there signings. I really want that RVD/Lynn handshake promo.

I really want that RVD/Lynn handshake promo. I got the Narcissist pic myself. Didnt ship yet though. I almost got the handshake pic but went with the one that had the classic ECW TV belt in the background And I agree these virtual signings are cool.Great additions to my collection room for sure! Oh yeah if you wanna show off your gets brother feel free.This may be my auto collection but I'd love to see others collections! That goes for all you humanoids as well. If you got any autographs feel free to post em here. |

My long story to get this auto: I met Lex once in like 1999. He was doing a signing and I had my promo of him from WWF as The Narcissist and I went to meet him and I asked him if he would mind signing it as The Narcissist. He was nice about it but said "Nah today it's The Total Package." So he signed this 93 WWF promo as The Total Package Lex Luger. Kind of bummed. It's similar to the time I met Chris Jericho in 2003 and I asked him to sign a WCW promo as Lionheart Chris Jericho and he just completely ignored what I said and wrote Y2J on it. But a few months ago on another website I saw someone post a Lex Luger autograph and it was Lex in front of the Lex Express and he wrote "If this bus is rockin don't come a knockin" and I was blown away because I had heard since his injury, Lex didn't do anything but his name. So I reached out to that guy about it and the guy said Lex was fine doing it and he was super friendly with the fans. When highspots had there listing I contacted them about getting it as The Narcissist but said if Lex doesn't want to sign The Narcissist, I'm good with just his name I don't want to make it hard for him. But Lex signed it The Narcissist  |

But Lex signed it The Narcissist That’s a cool story man! When you met Lex, I’m certain you had to pay for the autograph, that may be why he couldn’t sign it as a WWF character. It may get technical if he in theory sold you a WWF item. It’s probably similar to him going to comic con at that time as The Narcissist Lex Luger while being employed by the WCW, that’s a WWF license. Since you brought him the picture, he sold you the signature only. I don’t know though, If he was nice about it though than it makes me think it was a legal thing. Oddly enough, Lex had his made in the USA attire in the WCW/nWo Revenge video game, which I always felt like was a lawsuit that WWF just didn’t know they had haha. Jericho seemed like he was just being Jericho |
