Famous Wrestlers You Have Met

[John McHenry]

Where do I start? OVW is only an hour away from me. I've met Mick Foley, Batista, Mark Henry, The Miz, Beth Pheonix, The Pope D' Angelo Dinero, Nidia, Shad Gaspard, Spirit Squad, Cody Rhodes, Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Alicia Fox, just to name a few. Shad Gaspard was the nicest to me as he seemed like a fun loving, enjoyable guy to be around. I am actually friends with an indy wrestler.

I'm not to far from OVW either met quite a few nicest by far was Foley(though I did drink a few beers with Rico). Biggest dick not in character was Flair.

- I met Sabu and RVD back in 2007 at the Armageddon Expo in Melbourne.
- I met CM Punk at a signing he done at Highpoint in Melbourne this year when WWE done a tour here, waited for 3 hours or so and they didn't allow personal photos. (This was just less than a week after he was "suspended" for his shoot or whatever.)
- I met Raven at MCW WrestleClash this year.

Looking forward to and hopefully meeting some more at 2012 tour they do here as I'm most likely going to go to the airport when they get in and their hotel after the show (it's like 1km from arena) that quite a few do.

Alberto Del Riooooooo and his dog RICARDO!

I remember posting one of my two stories, but the only famous one I've met was Ric Flair. I was about 12 or 13 and this was during the Evolution stable's days.

He came out to Australia for an autograph session in an electronics store near me. He looked tried as hell and I brought my copy of the WWF Shut Your Mouth game for him to sign, which I still own. Anyway the store was packed as shit, the line continuing well out of the store, it was crazy. I got to the front of the line and he signed it, then Flair looked at me and said something like "Hey kid, come here, I got something to tell ya".

Excited but nervous, I went of over and he told me to lean in. He came in as if to whisper in my ear, then let out a "WWOOOOOOOO!!!"

The whole fucking store went nuts, one of my two celebrity encounters. (The other being the day I got to hang out with a famous Australian stand-up comedian, being on set for the day for an ad he was shooting. That story is fucking awesome, but thats for another time)

The other wrestler I met was for a real small Aussie independant promotion when I was like 7, when WCW has just got me into wrestling.

I met the promotions top babyface after the show, some burly badass looking guy called Mad Dog. I got him to sign some merch and he asked me who my favourite wrestler was, I said Goldberg. Then he spat and said "Who the fuck is that?". Good times.

Dude, you met Mad Dog? I know him very very well haha. He wrestles in Melbourne now for a company called NAW.

You meet Ric Flair the greatest of all time and you have to say is he was a dick? He probably was but he has every right to be.

I got a chance to hang out with Earl and Brian Hebner earlier this year when TNA was up here for a house show.

 

[Heisenberg]

Who do you guys want to really meet? The current 5 I want to meet in no particular order would have to be:
- The Miz
- John Cena (I don't like him, but just to say I met him)
- Alberto Del Rio
- Randy Orton
- Wade Barrett

I excluded guys like Undertaker as they won't come to Australia for a house show.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Just to recap who I've met since this topic of discussion is hot: CM Punk, The Miz, Lita, Matt Hardy, Raven, and Rhyno. It was a pretty decent core before 2011 hit. Then I met the Miz in July and Punk in October of this year.

Now the guys that I would kill to meet that are in my Top 5.

1. Chris Jericho- I probably mark out in front of him and say something so stupid like I said to Punk. (You're my hero first words i said to Punk when i met him).
2. Kane- I'm a long time Kaneite, it be great to meet him. He's so friendly outside the ring so it would be cool.
3. Edge- Another legend that would be great to meet.
4. Stone Cold- Who wouldn't to meet him.
5. Booker T- I'm a mark for his commentary and his career. I probably whip my camera out and pay him even more just to say "WUT DA HAYELL"

Oh yeah, I forgot to include I met Tenille Tayla at an MCW show earlier this year. She attended a FCW tryout camp earlier this year and it was reported that WWE had signed her to a developmental contract.
