Meeting wrestlers

[★Shine It On Me★]

Since this is an e-fed and I'm just interested (or wanted to make a random topic) about meeting real pro-wrestlers in real life. How many have you met? any wild stories? Who was the most approachable, who is the worst possible human being to meet?

From memory, I've met over 30 wrestlers. mostly are from WWE.

Best wrestler I ever met was Chris Jericho, actually three times! He is the coolest.

Funny story when I met him the second time, this was in 2005 and I was just starting to wear makeup so I was a complete noob. So I asked him for a hug, and to my horror after the hug I noticed I left a HUGE makeup stain on his white shirt. I walked off embarrassed and walked away off rather quickly. The next night was a Fozzy concert and I went and after the show I approached him and had the guts to apologized for that mishap and he said it was ok.

Worst wrestler to ever meet is CM Punk, total prick. I didn't try to approach him because I knew he was a dick by his body language. I was standing right near him and he just stood there looking down, and all of a sudden he jerks his bag and storms off. My friend tried to say hello and all he did was look down and nothing.

I scored a hug from The Rock and after that I couldn't sleep for two days straight as I was so giddy.

Off the top of my head, I met Zach Gowan at a PWA (local indy promotion) event. Awesome guy but he still is bitter about his experience in WWF. Apparently, his storyline was supposed to last longer than it did.

I met Bret Hart at an autograph signing in the next town over from me. I stuttered and stammered but I was finally able to say "I'm glad you have maintained a good enough relationship with WWE to still appear in the video games". He said something like "Yeah, at least you still have the games." I'm not sure what I heard. I'm not sure if he was being sarcastic, like he was trapped into the game appearances, or if he was actually happy that I was happy he was in the games. Or maybe I just completely misread him after his stroke. I choose to believe the best in people. Even worst case scenario, Bret is still my hero.



This was taken in November 2007 (OMG! Has it really been over a year already?). It was taken with my cel phone. I tried cleaning it up a little in photoshop, but didn't want to mess with it too much in case I ruined it.
