Have any of you guys ever met a pro wrestler? If so what was your experience? Was he or she nice/cool/a dick/down to earth?

During Wrestlemania 24 weekend I met Pete Gass of the Mean Street Posse. He actually called out to us when he saw my friend had a "Shane-O-Mac" jersey on saying "Want me to call Shane right now?" We talked to him for a bit when he was with his wife or girlfriend and he was a really cool guy. Let us take a picture with him too.

Then at the airport I met Mick Foley. He was in line with his kids at McDonalds and I didn't want to make a big scene for him. I just said hello to him and he was really nice and even offered to take a picture with me and my buddy.

What are some of your experiences if any?

3:30-3:40... thats me at 6 years old with my mom and sister at the 1st ever in your house PPV in Syracuse. BTW I still got the glasses lol.

I also have met Ray Traylor (Big Boss Man) and he was like the nicest person ever. at the same event, I saw IRS, Rick Martel, and Virgil (a total douchebag even back then in 1993)

In 2003 (I think), I saw Mick Foley at a book signing in NY, and since my sister then was pregnant, they let me her and my mom go right through to see him, and he was just a real down to earth guy.

I've met "jumpin" Johnny DeFazio, a local Pittsburgh wrestler who appeared on WWE shows here in the 1960's. He knew Bruno Sammartino well. Nothing bad to report.

Twice I met Ric Flair at charity events here in Pittsburgh, in 1995 and 1996 (he was here in 1994 also but I didn't attend. Both times he went out of his way to sign autographs, pose for pictures, etc. In both 95 and 96 he stayed more than and hour after the charity banquet to meet fans, etc, long after most of the other sports celebrities (including Tony Dorsett, Kerry Collins, former Pirates third baseman Jeff King, Steelers coach Bill Cowher, et all) had left. In 95, Flair set up shop after dinner at one end of the hall while former Pittsburgh Penguin Ron Francis was at the other end and they literally stayed until everyone who wanted a pic or autograph was seen.

A group of my high school buddies saw Mike Rotunda in a restaurant after a show in Pgh but didn't approach him, somewhere around 1992.

I've got to meet a lot of current TNA wrestlers. Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley were pretty cool...with a hint of arrogance. They just didn't seem that thrilled to be there signing when I met them...

Kurt Angle was very nice and thanked me for coming out to see TNA. Very cool guy, I was a bit surprised cause all I hear is what an asshole he is.

Jerry Lynn, James Mitchell, Raven, and Christy Hemme were all cool too...except Raven wasn't all that friendly. He didn't say anything to anyone, just kinda nodded and wouldn't shake anyone's hand, he would give all of them the rock.....maybe he's a germ-a-phob, lol

The only WWE star I've met is Mick Foley, and yes...he's as cool as everyone says he is!

I met John Cena twice.Once at the Wrestlemania 24 press conference they had here in Orlando in 2007 and at a signing he did the day after Wrestlemania 24.He's such a nice guy.He spends as much time with you as he can,he's always smiling and he said I had a nice shirt twice,lol.But he's awesome.I've also meet Lashley,CM Punk,Ric Flair,Maria,Layla and Kofi Kingston.They were all pretty cool too but John was my favorite of course!!

I Have met Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Mick Foley, Samoa Joe, Velvet Sky, Abyss, 'Black Machismo"Jay Lethal, and Joey Mercury.

Kurt Angle Was great. He was extreamly nice, My friends and I actually had a whole conversation with him about his departure from WWE.

Jericho was very nice too. He shook my hand and thanked me for taking the time to meet him.(it was pretty cool)

Mick Foley Thanked me for purchasing his book(HArdCore Diaries) and told me to enjoy it.

Samoa Joe Just kind-of shoooed me off

Velvet Sky Is Bangin

Abyss was very nice(i found it funny how abyss was wearing a tie-dye shirt with his mask on!)

I met Black Machismo before he was black machismo he didnt have the gimmick yet. He was pretty cool.

And Joey Mercury was pretty funny.When i asked him to sign a picture he asked what my name was.I said DJ and he asked how to spell that.(haha)

I had the joy of meeting Orton however it was after his line for autographs closed..this occured sometime during his first title reign...i kindly asked If I could have one still he..said "Sorry line is closed autograph from the Champ is going to cost 40 bucks"...40 bucks I don't even like his ass. So randy orton still to date is biggest deuche!

I didn't really meet him because he was in a hurry and he was there supporting his daughter, but I got Hulk Hogan's autograph one time.

I met Jericho & Trish at a signing at a local Wal-Mart. You don't get enough time to really talk to them, but of course they were nice.

I have personally met Jay & Mark Briscoe, Ruckus, Necro Butcher, Roderick Strong, Jerry Lynn, Nigel McGuinness, Jack Evans, Adam Pearce, Bryan Danielson, etc. etc. etc. etc. Basically I've met and partied (and I mean partied hard) with the whole ROH roster. Very cool and nice guys.

I can say I've smoked weed with several of them, I've been involved with a couple beer chugging contests with The Briscoes & Necro, Mark Briscoe's chopped the shit out of me, Ruckus and I have had the same toothache problem and he gave me some pointers on taking care of it, and I sat next to Jerry Lynn for an aftershow meal where he talked about his career and other wrestlers to my friends and I for a good 30 minutes.

Butcher, Mark Briscoe, Ruckus, & Lynn are probably the nicest and coolest guys I've met.

I was at an IWA:MS show once and during intermission my buddy and I went to the car to smoke a fat joint, a tag team walked by, The Thomasellis (sp?) and they were amazed by the fat joint we had and joined us. They left about half way through, then Spike Dudley comes up and asks what we were doing. We offered to smoke him up, but he said he needed something harder.

I've talked to Delirious, Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne) & Daizee Haze several times, since all 3 are from the midwest I've ran into them at several shows.

I've gotten my picture taken with Traci Brooks & got a Christopher Daniels autograph.

Back around 96 or so before a house show I met Ahmed Johnson and Sunny. I don't remember too much about Ahmed except as a 10 yr old he seemed like the biggest person I'd ever seen but I remember Sunny being really laid back, she actually chatted with my mom for a few minutes while my brother and I were taking a pictures with Ahmed.

I also met Triple H, X-Pac, and Chyna at an autograph signing before No Way Out in 1998, all three seemed really cool and Trips was actually the most social of all.

From WWE i met Chris masters, Johnny the Bull stambolli, and John Cena
Masters was a huge man, and i could barely talk to cena cause the crowd was huge but it was cool

In 2002 or 2003 I met Matt Hardy at an auto show doing signings. He was a really cool guy. I got a picture with him. After he was done signing me and my freind went and talked to him for only about 5 minutes but, it was still really cool. We asked him how it was having his brother by his side throughout his career. He said that it has been great always having someone that you can relate to around.

I've met my fair share. Batista, Edge, Jericho, Rob Van Dam, Ric Flair, Booker T, CM Punk, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy. I dunno who i'd say the nicest is. They were all nice and talked for a decent amount of time.

I've met and got an autograph from both Killer Kowalski, and Antonio Thomas (you know, Antonio from the Heart Throbs). They were signing 8x10's at a local real estate place up the street from my house, both on different days. Killer Kowalski was with two other dudes and he actually put the claw on my friend, it was awesome. Antonio Thomas was with some guys from NECW, i got their autographs also. Everyone was very nice, which i was surprised because, I expected Kowalski to be a rough tough guy, but he was the nicest one there.

Well if you count getting your picture taken then i met quit a few. John Bogie, Erik Watts, Lee Thomas, Disco Inferno, Johnny Swinger, Tracy Brooks, David Young, Sonny Siaki, The Nightmare, Ted and Jerry Oates, Mr Wrestling #2, Fantasy, Christi Ricci, Iron Shiek, Bill Dromo, Mikey Batts, Bull Buchanan, Quentin Michaels, Cru Jones, Shaun Banks, Michael Cook, Randall Johnson, Pistol Pez Whatley, Rocky King, Puppet, Rock-C, some female wrestler named Simone, Persophone or however you spell her name, AJ Steele, SouthSide Trash, Paul Warren, Bob Armstrong, Ole Anderson, Lex Lugar, The NOW, Logan Chase, High Impact, Tracy Taylor and a few others who escape me.

Now when I say I met them, it was mostly brief with a few exceptions. Most of the time it was just a photo op. The vast majority were extremely nice, even Disco, and I will say this about Traci Brooks. The camera doesn't do her justice. She's hotter in person.

I met Regal at Orlando International Airport on the Tuesday after WM24. He was on my flight to Atlanta, very down to earth I talked to him about the infamous Goldberg match from Nitro ages ago. Batista was also at the airport but he wasn't stopping for anyone.

Well I got trained at Sullys Gym in Toronto under Ron Hutchinson years ago. Edge came by one afternoon and I nearly shit my pants. We all did. Granted, this was well before the was the Rated R Superstar, but still. It was post E&C and he was well on his way to being a star. I got to be in the ring with him which to this day is a great story that I enjoy telling. He was a very nice guy and it was so cool to have him sit in and critique us and give us advice on things we could do better, or props on stuff we did well. He gave me a closeline. I sold the shit out of it.

A buddy of mine met Ric Flair as a kid in a restaraunt in Atlanta. Flair was really kind to him and invited him and his Dad sit with him for a few minutes.

I met Kurt Angle when he still had hair at the airport in Toronto. He was also very nice - it was before he started hating his job, maybe..

I had the opportunity to chat with the Miz once. It was shortly after he had won the tag championship. Nothing substantial, just "Hey, big fan, congrats on the belt." His being from Cleveland was cool for me. We lamented the Browns season as is the customary ritual for Clevelanders. He seemed like a cool guy. Unfortunately didn't get to meet Morrison.

The Miz is the only wrestler I've actually met, but one of my good friends is a second cousin to the late great Bruiser Brody.

I met Chris Jericho at a book signing at Virgin Megastore here in Orlando. I also met CM Punk and Layla at a local Wal Mart. Layla is so sweet... I met Samoa Joe,Sharkboy,Eric Young, the Machineguns, Rellik, ODB, and Christopher Daniels at a TNA Impact Taping. I saw Matt Morgan once too. If you are in Orlando and you go to the Alehouse or the Double Tree on Kirkman rd. you can meet alot of TNA wrestlers.

By any chance was that around the time of WM24 and at Lake Buena Vista? Because I was in the area but didn't know about the signing. Missed opportunity.

I met Ric Flair at Tower Records in Philadelphia back in 97. He was there to promote Nitro at the then First Union Center. Naitch never broke character as soon as he got there, stepped out of a limosine and gave a loud WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! as soon as he arrived. Real nice guy signed anything u threw at him and even took pictures with the fans even tho he wasnt supposed to.

I also met Triple H at Walden Books in Philadelphia on a Tuesday before the Smackdown! tapings. He was signing his fitness book "Making The Game." This was the night after Batista won the Royal Rumble and had a choice to either wrestle JBL for the WWE Championship on Smackdown! or face fellow Evolution member Triple H on Raw for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 21. Needless to say, he choose Triple H and "The Animal" Batista Bombed him through the contract signing table at the conclusion of Raw. So long story short, I had to buy his book for the autograph, which wasnt that bad. It was actually an intresting read. I got up to "Trips" and asked him "So now that ur wrestling Batista at Wrestlemania, Whats gonna happen to Evolution?" Triple H looked up after signing my book and said in character mind you... "Evolution isnt finished, its just one less member!" Hahaha got me all excited for nothin cause clearly Evolution was finished.

Thats just a couple of experience's ive had. Ill try and post more later.:flair:

Yeah it was you had to purchase his book the lion's tale at that specific store.That sucks he was really cool he talked to us about Chris Benoit,Hell in a Cell, and the Elimination Chamber. He also said his favorite match hi was match with HBK at Wrestlemania 19 at Safeco Field in Seattle. They stole the show that year. It just so happened to be the first match I ever saw.

08-22-2008, 10:03 PM
I met John Cena, and Batista. Well, I guess they were traveling together. John Cena was talking to people, and signing autographs, but Batista wanted none of it he was at like a distance just shaking his head at Cena. Then some kid walked up to him(I guess asked for an autograph) and looked up at him for like 20 seconds ish Batista straight up ignored and he walked away with such a look on his face. I felt bad for him.

Cena is nice though.

Also, in 2000? I think. I went to unforgiven with my sister, and mom(I was young) and we were leaving. and the wrestlers left out the same way, and DDP touched my shoulder. It was funny watching wrestlers who have feuds taking cars together. etc.

Well I met john Cena at City Walk who was a total douchebag 2 me n my friends (Dnot ask). N with Fan Axxess Tour I've met Chavo, Chris Masters and Layla. I don't think that counts. However I was REALLY lucky 2 have met everyoner in Triple A 4rm Cibernetico, La Parka, Super Porky n Kenzo Suzuki. N if u don't know who they are...well it's no wonder people voted The ECW/ TNA title as the number #3 title in the world.

I'v met Sable, Sunny, Trish, Abdullah the Butcher, Jim "Anvil" Neidhart, Bret Hart, Al Snow, Christain, Aj Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Eddie Guerrero, Kurrgan, & Johnny Devine

Sable (2003)- Nicest wrestler to meet ever. Best thing about her is that unlike other wrestlers I've met she actually asks you questions like are you gonna be cheerin for me? etc and was very pleasant

Sunny (2008)- She was really nice and and took pictures and answered all my questions. Thought she would be stuck up but was really nice

Trish-was in a mall so only had 30 secs but she was nice

Abdullah the Butcher (2007)- he is an asshole. Wouldn't say hi or shake your hand untill you paid for the autograph

Jim Neidhart (2007)- money hungry...my friend poured his heart out to him and all he responded was did you already pay me?

Bret Hart (2006)- super nice guy but didn't say too much (maybe because of his stroke?). Never refused any picture or autograph, great guy.

Al Snow (2008)- super fun and wacky

Christain (2003 & 2008) and Aj (2007) - nice guys but don't talk much

Christopher Daniels (2008)- nice and kinda makes smart alec jokes

Samoa Joe (2007)- great guy, refused to take money for pics and autographs

Eddie Guerrero (2003)- was nice but seemed to be in a bad mood, he did have a black eye thats probably why. he called me holmes!

Kurrgan (1999)- big guy, cool. All i asked him was do you think you could beat Big Show and he groaned ya

Johnny Devine- nice, down to earth guy

I met CM Punk when I went to the Survivor Series Tour in Aberdeen last year. Really nice guy. When we left an hour later he was still going around the crowd signing autographs. Also saw Cherry but she missed the section I was standing in.

I got my hair dyed blue for the night so he complemented it. Which I was chuffed about because Batista pointed out when he was on the ropes.

Great time. Going to it again this year and TNA in January so hopefully I'll get to meet more of them.

@ Download Festival in 2005 (maybe 2006, can't remember), i was walking from the second stage to the main stage and i look to my left and see Chris Jericho stood next to the main stage on his own having photos taken with anyone who wanted one. Fozzy played that year, and i knew a friend of mine had wanted to come with us just to see Y2J perform (Y2J was his fave wrestler at the time) So, in order to spite my friend royally, I walked up to him, spliff in hand, shook his hand and said 'Great set today man' (yes i did actaully watch Fozzy play) and he thanked me for taking the time to come and see them.

Rather than dominate his time i left it that. I knew he probably wouldn't talk about wrestling because he tries to downplay that part of his life when he's with Fozzy. The whole crowd chanted Y2J throughout most of his set, but he didn't acknowledge it at all, or do any typical Y2J mannerisms.

After shaking his hand i walked off to see Megadeth and that remained one of the highlights of the whole festival.

Me and my dad went to a house show in north carolina back in about 2000. My dad used to own a bar in the area and even though i was only 12 i got to hang out there alot with him so we went back there after and who walks in about an hour later but Kane and Edge. Kane was a real cool guy and it was before he had unmasked obviously so I didnt even recognize him when he came in. I asked him where the undertaker was and he said that he doesn't like to go out to much after shows because he doesn't like to break character. Edge was a cool guy to who tossed back more than a few shots.

I also met Triple H and Stephanie at wwf new york way back in the day and i shook Triple H's hand and was looking at Stephanie and Triple H says to me in a real mean voice "Hey, you lookin at my wife?"..i think i crapped my pants right then and there but he was obviously kidding

Guys I've Met:

Stevie Ray & Sting: WCW Nitro in London. Didn't really chat to them long enough to gather an opinion, although Sting did seem a bit aloof.

Eddie Guerrero: SD v RAW signing. Was so nice. We had a laugh and joke about something, can't remember what, will have to dig out the video of me meeting him.

John Cena: SD v RAW signing. Nice guy, but was very very serious. His forearms were absolutely huge.

Maria: SD v RAW signing. Absolutely stunning in person and a little bit of an airhead, but was so nice.

HBK: Was on my plane back to Houston from WM24 (ask Becca already knows). Was taller than I thought he would be, but was very approachable and friendly, even acknowledging my DX tshirt before I had the guts to approach him.

AJ Styles: TNA meet & greet. Moody, wasn't interested in anythin I had to say. Shame because I love him.

Samoa Joe: Really cool guy, chatty and had a lot of time for his fans.

James Storm: Likewise, a really cool guy. Storm is an absolute dude!

Jay Lethal: Funny and chatty guy, appreciated his fans

Rhino: Absolute ARSEHOLE. Moody, aggressive, didn't let anyone near enough to him for a photo

Gail Kim: Super hot and nice.

Jeremy Borash: Really friendly and was chatting to him for a while

Earl Hebner: Was very uphimself and constantly wanted to remind people of his involvement in the Montreal Screwjob

LAX: Both absolute jokers. Really funny guys, had some good interaction with them

I have a feeling I've missed someone out...

*EDIT* guys I missed out...Booker T, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Doug Williams, Dixie Carter, Victoria and Layla

08-25-2008, 03:44 PM
I met most of the TNA guys at fanfest in Lowell MA. Everybody seemed cool, some more than others. And girls. The ones I wanted to meet but never got the chance was LAX, the damn line was so long. The ones that stood out were;
Nash: he was cool, it was intimidating, I waited years to meet him
Black Reign: Actually had a small convo with him
Petey Williams: He just got his head shaved, I told him it looked cool, he talked a little bit.
Karen Angle is BEAUTIFUL!!! She was sweet, and she posed twice for me and neither came out, I was pissed. Traci Brooks and Gail Kim both posed, and I had a convo with Roxxi Lavaeu, and a free pic with her, I think she was waving to me the next day at ppv, but i didn't get a chance to go see her. I ran into Dixie Carter several times at the fanfest, and she remembered my buddy and I the next day, and came all the way to the upper section to see us, got an awesome pic with the lockdown cage in backround. She didn't leave the floor before or after that.
I meet people at Indy shows around here a lot, John Cenas dad is involved with them, I see Jay Lethal a lot, hes a great guy.
I've met the beautiful people a few times, they are awesome. Really sweet, I snuck in a free pic with them at fanfest when there was a huge line, and my buddies finger covered the flash which i didn't see, but Sky did and yelled at him to take it again lol.
They had a tryout match at Umass and I got a pic with them before anyone knew who they were. I met DDP, Kidman, Buff Bagwell, and Spike at that show they were all awesome! Really Cool.
Back in 96 when Nitro was at Universal studios, they had a one hour small show where I think Impact is now. It was mid afternoon. Met Chavo, kidman, DDP, his wife (HOT) and Teddy Long. The most amazing experience was afterwards. We were in lobby, you could look through this smalll window in door, and look down hallway and see all wrestlers. I looked through double doors to arena where we came out and saw Big Show, (Giant at that time), and Greg Valentine. My aunt sneaked me back there as they were leaving, and Big Show agreed to do a pic, I don't remember much, I know he was Huge, shook his hand. Pic never came out, don't know why to this day, sucks every time I think about it. That night was the famous NWO backstage attack where they speared Rey Mysterio into trailer.
And Finally, last year my buddy whos a huge fan, called me and told me that he got on a plane to fly to Texas from Bradely International in CT, hes in the airforce, and he had his uniform on. As soon as he got on the plane he saw JR and was shocked. JR said he was proud of my friend for fighting for our country. My buddy hadn't looked around or noticed anything else, and when he heard a vboice behind him say, "we all are", he turned around and it was HHH and HBK. Then he saw the rest of Raw, that had been in Hartford for a live show. He pointed at Orton and my buddy said "my girlfriends in love with him"!, and Orton said they all are. He was in uniform and was somewhere else so he couldn't stay, but imagine being in front of a whole Raw roster of guys that respect you, WOW.

My uncle was a roadie for WWE back in the late 80's early 90's and I live in CT so when they had a show at the Hartford Civic Center I went with my dad and little brother and my uncle got us backstage for a bit and met a bunch of reall cool guys. Bobby Heenan was a real nice guy he signed his backstage pass and gave it to me. Bret Hart was very approachable and chatted with us for about 10 mins or so. Hercules was gigantic and signed autographs but was kinda quiet. The DR. of style Slick was great and Mean Gene too. The rumors about the Warrior are true, he was a dick. He totally snubbed us which killed me cuz at that time he was my favorite wrestler. But Bret was the man. He was real cool to us and we were pretty young but he was real generous and to this day he is one of my favorite wrestlers.

I was able to meet Triple H and Chyna at a dvd signing for the first DX dvd that came out. They were very nice, lots of smiles and hand shakes for the fans. It was really cool to see them and actually meet a wrestler in real life.
In traveling for work I have seen in an airport in passing Lillian Garcia.
When I was a bit younger I was coming back from vacation with my parents and we saw the Undertaker, Bart Gunn, Shawn Michaels (at Newark Airport).
I also saw Bam Bam Bigelow at a New Jersey Devils game. Pretty cool.
