Rickey Morton of the Rock N' Roll Express is THE COOLEST GUY EVER. He was selling autographed promos and just handed me one and took a pic with me, and talked to me for like half an hour. Really nice guy, honest guy, and funny as hell.
Tracey Smothers is my pick for nicest wrestler ever. seriously, meet Tracey.
Also, if you ever get the chance, talk to Mad man Pondo, you'll have fun, i promise.
Seriously, alot of the old school guys who used to be big stars, who still wrestle the Indy circuit...those guys are usually the nicest of people.

I have never had a bad encounter really with anyone and I have met alot. Some that stand out that were really nice and actually want to talk.. Lillian Garcia, Johnny from the spirit squad, and Kofi Kingston. Any of the divas are really nice especially kelly kelly she was so sweet. Back in 2006 when I met Johnny Nitro he was sort of rude but not terrible. Someone asked for an autograph and he said he would give him a verbal autograph. When I met him Sunday he was nice as could be. Did not catch the Miz before he walked out of I-Hop sunday but you could tell he was cocky and probably would have been rude.
You just have to know when the right time to approach them is. You can't go up to them with 6 items to sign and expect them to be nice... Also if they are eating or in the middle of a call don't bother them.

As already said, Ricky Morton and James Storm are two of the nicest guys ever. Cena's pretty nice, as is Londrick. Nitro was an ass. I've heard that Foley and Jericho are nice.

I met Al Snow and Rikishi at two different indy shows. Both were nice but I would say Al was more out going and talking more.

Here's my favorite story. My friends and I went to watch WM XX at a bar and Bret Hart was doing an autograph signing there. My two friends went in line for autographs while I was drinking. My one friend comes back and says with a straight face, "I looked into his eyes and said you're the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be." Lame!
Anyway, he forgot to get a picture signed for his cousin, so I went in line to get it autographed for him. Bret was in a pissy mood since he just had his stroke and didn't really look like he wanted to be there. I asked him to sign the picture, explaining that it was for someone else, but that's not to mean that I'm not a fan. He grumbled while he signed the picture. Before I left, I said, " Man, I feel bad for you being stuck here signing autographs for a bunch of 30 year old virgins." He looked at me and gave half a smile (remeber the stroke) and extended his hand for a handshake. That was the only time he smiled that day.

Tommy Dreamer was a really nice guy. Big Show was an ass, veyr grumpy and upset alot of the times I have seen him in real life. Thats weird, he was great and very friendly both times i met him, but the one man who was a total a-hole was Ric Flair. Like, he didnt even look up at you. He just kept saying, "Thank you....Thank you....Thank you over and over again without even looking up. HBK was a class act and very nice, Kennedy was also great,and Stone Cold Steve Austin was really cool, so was Mickie James, Big Van Vader, and Candice Michelle. And Matt Hardy was also really cool, it seemed like he was really aware of how some fans were really nervous to meet him. I was very nervous, because hes one of my top 3 favorite wrestlers, and I shook his hand, looked at him, then without thinking i reached out again to shake his hand, and he said "thats alright shake it again" and started laughing. And then I told him that i hope he wins the MITB at WM22, it was the week before Mania when i met him, and he said he thinks he will and told me he appreciated me coming out to support him. ;D All in all top 3 nicest ive met are Matt Hardy, HBK, and Austin

Notables that i have met are Sabu, Raven and Christopher Daniels. Raven was the nicest wrestler i've ever met he was signing anything he was joking with the fans he'd talk with you for five minutes or so and treat you like a friend more then a fan. He even asked what he did on the ECW Bloodsport DVD and jokingly said "I shouldnt sign this because i didnt get paid for it" with a smile on his face Sabu was quiet but was very polite and nice he asked where i'd like him to sign and he did so. He signed "ECW" in my WCW Book and apoligized and laughed with the promoter (He wasnt being mean or anything he was just messing around and couldnt believe he'd accidentally done that) Christopher Daniels was the first wrestler i ever met and he was signing at an intermission he signed a DVD Insert i had. I thanked him and he said i was welcome. On the DVD he was nicer with other fans. Also for the guys that like the Puro: I met Masaaki Mochizuki who was very nice too me he signed a Dragon Gate DVD i had straight after his 20 minute match which i thought was awesome as he was still sweating everywhere and could of told me to off. But very very nice guy. Ryo Saito i met aswell he came here on tour with Masaaki Mochizuki and he also signed the DVD. He gave a semi bow when i thanked him for his autograph which i liked. Gamma i met when he came here with another Dragon Gate guy that goes by the name of Super Shenron. He kinda kayfabed it up but he signed a Plastic Fan and a DVD Order Form i had from the same DVD Saito and Mochizuki signed. Super Shenron was fantastic to meet i met him at the signing and he was lovely to everyone he didnt speak much english but he signed whatever you wanted aswell. Great guy. Every wrestler i've met has been really nice i hear alot of horror stories but it's either my location or the way i approach. I'm respectful i use my "thank you's" and "pleases" and legitemately appreciate that they will sign something for me...

I haven't met any big-name wrestlers before. Sadly.
I've heard a lot of bad stories about Triple H though. On the Pro Wrestling Insider DVD with Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara, Russo mentions how these two kids waited up until about 1 AM at a hotel just for Triple H autographs and they approached him when he got in and he just blew um off.
I'd like to meet MVP, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, among others.

AJ Styles came in for IWA MS, and totally no sold Obo and every other fan wanting to get an autograph. A couple fans gave him sh*t, so i think he got pissed. Still, there was prolly 110 people there, and he shoulda been able to handle some 'overrated' chants from 5 fans, when he was doing HEEL anyways. Indeed. AJ Styles can suck, swallow, and then choke on a dick. God forbid people want a GOOD match.. when you heel.. you're going to get heat.. when you work a shitty match in front of a smart crowd.. you're going to get heat.. when you're a heel and working a shitty match.. you're going to get booed out of the building.. him and everything he stands for. Low Ki has always been very nice to me. Just seems like one of those guys you don't want to with though. Upon asking how no one has died from the Tree of Woe double stomp, he replied to my friend "not my problem.. I don't take it.." Hacksaw Jim Duggan was a lot of fun when I met him at a small ass show. I had took a 2x4 to get signed, and for some reason, his board got taken away at the airport. So when I gave him my board to sign, he politely asked if he could use it during the show. After the show, he gave me my board back signed, along with a signed picture and a t-shirt. Tracy Smothers is a class act all his own. I've met Tracy several times now, and every time he has been amazing. I've bought some DVDs off him and every time he makes it very clear "hey, if anything doesn't work, just send me an email, and I'll gladly replace it for you". At one show, Tracy showed up late and didn't set up his gimmick table. I caught him after the show and asked him about his gimmicks, so he made a special trip to the back, got out his bag of swag, and sold me 2 DVDs. But before leaving, he also gave me a freebee, just because it's "a DVD every fan should own". I made Tracy a Clash of the Champions comp, and ended up leaving with a brand new PG13 shoot interview, a t-shirt, and 2 pictures. You just can't tell him no. Buff Bagwell was a jackass. I have a framed picture of him on my wall, just to remind me of how much of a jackass he was. In the span of 5 minutes, at a wrestling show, he proceeded to rant about how he has better places to be, how he wasn't making as much money as he should, and how everyone should buy his crap quickly so he can leave. I paid for an 8x10, and got handed a pre-signed one that was nothing like those he had out.. much lower quality looking home printed.. just an idiot..

Edge by far is the nicest guy for me the first time I ever met him. He wasnt on tv at the time, but was signed.
Christian was super cool.
Cide is awesome and I never had an issue with AJ.
Daniels is great.
Angle was awesome as well.
Samoa Joe, who I expected to be really cool, was really standoffish. I dont want say an ass.......but he got pissed at me cuz my marker ran out of ink. He told me "I was ill prepared".

Edge and Matt Hardy were definately the nicest people I've met, with Victoria in at a very close third.
They actually bothered to talk to me.
RVD & Mickie James were nice people. Didn't talk much, but they signed stuff and smiled, looked like they were having a good time. Same with Shawn Michaels.
Cade & Murdoch were ok. Murdoch did his signature ugly face for my picture, but Cade kinda just looked down the entire time. He wasn't that bad though.
