I've met so many dating back to 2008 when I was a teenager and found out that they stayed at the Hilton just down the street from my house when they did shows here. (It's changed around a lot since then). Makes me wish I'd started doing that earlier as a kid and I could've met rosters dating back to 2002, some of whom are no longer with us.
In my teenage years I was able to meet John Cena, Kane, Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio, Charlie Haas, Kofi Kingston, Edge, Christian, Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Candice Michelle, John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder, Santino Marella, Primo, Paul Burchill, Evan Bourne, MVP, Mark Henry, D'Lo Brown, Booker T, Jeff Hardy, RVD, Mr Kennedy, Matt Morgan, Victoria, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, Mason Ryan, Curt Hawkins, Tyler Reks, Kelly Kelly, Natalya, R-Truth, Ricardo Rodriguez, Brodus Clay, Goldust, Daniel Bryan, Great Khali, Alicia Fox, Wade Barrett, Darren Young, Justin Roberts, Lilian Garcia, Mike Chioda and Tony Chimel.
I met Bret Hart at a book signing when I was 17.
I met Team Hell No at a signing when I was 20.
Dean Ambrose at a signing in 2015.
At Inside The Ropes shows I've met Goldberg, Mick Foley Kurt Angle, Eric Bischoff and Trish Stratus, and will be meeting Lita in September.
I met Chris Jericho once at a Fozzy VIP show in 2017 and again in 2021 when their bus was parked round the back of a building after a show at 2am and I decided to chance my luck and knock. His security answered and arranged for him to come out and I chatted to him for like 10 minutes.
I met Scotty 2 Hotty at a small signing in A1 Toys 2 years ago.
I've later met Charlotte, Bayley, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Cesaro, Xavier Woods, James Ellsworth, Chad Gable, Jason Jordan, Pete Dunne, Nakamura, The Miz, Samoa Joe, Jojo, Nia Jax, Karl Anderson, Enzo Amore etc.
At Axxess and WrestleMania Superstores I've been able to meet Sting, Mark Henry, Kane, Dana Brooke, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Lacey Evans and Drew McIntyre.
Jack Gallagher once came into my work and I got to meet him.
A lot of those people I've met more than once too, I didn't actually realise just how many I've met until I sat down and looked through all the shows and recalled who was all there!

WrestleMania weekend has arrived!
Looking forward to getting tickets for SmackDown and Clash at the Castle in June.
Lita is coming to Glasgow with Inside The Ropes in September so I get to meet my childhood crush.

Forgot to mention the other week that I got to meet Trish Stratus at an Inside The Ropes show! Got my December 2004 Raw magazine signed, she was extremely nice, chatty and personable and really took her time with everyone. Hopefully I can meet Lita next and have her sign the other half of the magazine cover.
As for what's made me happy today? Having my two days off of work and having made absolutely no plans so I'm just staying in and completely relaxing and indulging. Watch TV, wrestling, listen to music, eat, lay back, read. I might even PLAY with my wrestling figures and be a kid again!

R3 Big Show is also a beautiful figure. Granted it lost it's value when they kept releasing it in RA sets, that and Kane are perfect scale figures.

That Rhea Ripley and Omos are younger than me.
Also added susceptible to my vocabulary. I know it's a pretty common word but either I've forgotten it or never knew it's proper meaning but I never used it before. There's been a bunch of words I've learned recently, I always like to pick up on new words and look up their meaning and add them to my bank of knowledge.
The Snapchat AI is also a surprisingly good learning tool for general knowledge.

Thankfully nothing at the moment and it feels good. At the start of the year I was having feelings again for a girl I'd previously gone out with but the feelings were clearly no longer mutual and it bothered me for a few months but I got over that and I'm good now. Man I hate when feelings rob you of your happiness and ruins your ability to enjoy things. I always tell myself never again and then of course down the line it happens again haha! Also had to deal with vindictive arseholes at work and have a sit down with my own manager about them because they tried to turn their own behaviour back on me with deflection tactics, basically slandering me and telling lies out of spite an immaturity rather than just coming and talking to me like adults. I felt like CM Punk in his feud with The Elite, and could definitely relate to his line of working with ing children because that's exactly what I was dealing with. I had "adults" acting cliquey and giving me the silent treatment and avoiding me... and then running to their manager and saying I was the one doing it because it suddenly got uncomfortable for them when I happily ignored them. Thankfully it was resolved on my end as I had plenty of evidence and they had none and I was able to get the out of there and transfer to a much healthier and happier work place. I felt like Jey Uso jumping to Raw after being sick of the Bloodline's sh*t. So onwards and upwards and no more BS!

Chinese: beef curry, chicken fried rice, salt and chilli chicken.
Can't beat a large donner kebab or hoagie wrap either.
Wagamama's Katsu chicken curries are smashing.
Barburrito.
There's a couple of places in Glasgow I like called BRGR and Yippon too.
Also love a sausage supper from the chippy with cheese and curry over it.

I haven't posted in a while so I'll list a whole bunch of stuff that's made me happy lately: - Hooked up with a cougar recently, always wanted to check that off the list. Been well and truly in my hoe phase this year. - Went to my second WrestleMania this year, LA was amazing! - Finally saw Post Malone live. - Transferred to a new store away from the high school toxicity of the last place I worked, felt good to leave those miserable s behind. - Went to Impact Wrestling last month - Went to WWE in Glasgow on Halloween - Ran into Shotzi in town as I was finishing work and headed home to get ready for said show. - I've now been living in my house for 2 years, hasn't gotten old and still feels so new. Love my place and feel extremely grateful. - Day off today, weather is good, still laying in bed chilling and gonna make some food in a minute. Life is just good right now and I'm extremely thankful for it.

Found out en route home from work hours ago and I'm still stunned and in disbelief. I'm probably going to be up all night watching some of my fave moments and matches of his. Was so happy he returned last year and was eagerly awaiting his return. So gutted that's never going to happen. Can't even imagine how Jojo and his kids are feeling right now. Just absolutely awful. Half of the Wyatt family gone. Just heart breaking in so many ways.

I've always been the opposite, I find them far more convenient. I have no issue being served by a person and even work in retail myself, but sometimes I like to just be in my own world, headphones on and do my own thing.
