It's one thing if you have an encounter with someone and are on friendly terms to ask for a picture or something. It's another thing when you mob people waiting at airports and outside hotels. No one likes those people that do that crap. Some are just nice and chalk it up as part of the job. If you want to meet some wrestlers so bad, go to a autograph signing or an Axxess. You wouldn't like it if you were traveling and tired and sore and you had a bunch of grown rear end men bugging you while you were trying to not be late to the building or next plane.

I think this is almost exactly what Punk said in an interview when he was asked "why do fans keep on saying you're really grumpy when they ask for your autograph?"

It is bizarre to think anyone would camp out at a hotel or airport waiting for the slim chance to meet anyone famous. It never surprises me when the people who do end up looking like that guy.

I met former NXT superstar Maxine at a local indy show this fall, and she asked me why I had chloroform. Then security escorted me out.

I went to a Mick Foley show and Gerry Brisco was at the next table. I didn't say anything to him during the show obviously but I shook his hand in the lobby after he went on stage with Mick to tell some stories. That's my wrestler story.

I saw Edge and Val Venis's sister in an airport once. I said to my friend "oh hey that's Edge." My friend said "oh poo poo it is!" We didn't bother him. That's my wrestler in an airport story.

I showed Daniel Bryan my avatar at an NXT show, he laughed and signed it. It was 2 days after Nexus debuted so I think he was trying not laugh.

Scott Hall sat down at the table next to us in the NOLA airport on our way home from WMXXX. He looked super exhausted. Then, a dad and his 5-year-old daughter mobbed Hall and chatted him up for like 15 minutes. Hall clearly did his best to be patient, despite the girl having no clue who he was and just wanting to get some french fries. It was really uncomfortable to watch. That's my wrestler in an airport story.

When I worked in radio, we did on air promotion for an indie event. Skandar Ackbar called into my morning show and cut a promo on me in character. The next morning, Dr. Death Steve Williams (his opponent) called in, did an interview with me, and said he had my back. Then I got to meet both of them before the show. Welp, that's my story about meeting wrestlers somewhere other than the airport.

Passed by the hotel bar at a comic convention, and saw Hall and Waltman talking at a table. I appreciated that nobody bothered them.

When I went to go pick up my Dad at LAX about 2 to 3 years ago, I saw RVD heading into the terminal. He looks a lot bigger in person and was wearing a TNA shirt.

I met Christopher Daniels at the San Diego Comic-Con about 5 years ago. He was a nice man. I now partly feel guilty about saying I hoped TNA would re-sign him because TNA, but 2012 did give us Bad Influence, Claire Lynch, and a lot of really solid AJ vs Daniels matches with Kaz and Angle thrown in at times, so there was some good out of it. Also he had the greatest weapon of all time.

I walked past Chris Jericho a couple of weeks ago when Fozzy played in my town. I didn't say anything because he was talking with his mates, but I silently assessed his height and came to the conclusion that I'm roughly as tall as he is.

Bob Backlund came through with a hype man and high fived everyone in line waiting to get in. I'm not sure that WWE even knew he was there

I was at a Smackdown around 99-2000 and Teddy Long was hanging around the area I was seated. I said "Hey, you're Teddy Long!" and he shook my hand and said "What's up, playa? Hope you enjoy the show."

crime fighting hog posted:My dad got to golf with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I am still really jealous. My friend's dad was the course pro at a golf course in town. He told us that he took Lex Luger out to play a round of golf which ended with him telling Lex to go gently caress himself when he wouldn't sign a couple of autographs for his son and I. Though, this was like 20 years ago, it's possible I'm confusing Lex with a hockey player who was an rear end.
