I meant Tazz back in 97-98 (I think) in New Jersey. I have a photo of us holding the FTW belt, I paid 10 bucks for that photo lol. I really need to find it and post it up here.

How about you guys? Have you ever meant a wrestler b4?

Shows I've been to - Smackdown NJ around 04, and I think 5 ECW shows back in the late 90's.

I met Bret Hart in an autograph signing.  We didn't say much to each other. 

[venomx]

Bret Hart! that's cool though, wish I had.

More fun triva - name this character below, two photos same character. Not Mean Gene, lol the bird!

Gobbeldy-Gooker (spelling?).  I believe one of Eddie Guerrero's brothers portrayed the character for a while.

As for wrestlers I've met, only a couple.  Dean Malenko, Drew McIntyre, Kane and The Blue Meanie.  Meeting Meanie was especially cool, cause I was a hardcore ECW fan and he was always a favorite.  It was my birthday, and we were at my local bar, and he was there.  I got a picture with him and had a discussion about what he's been up to lately.

God, I loved ECW. I grew up on ECW. I lived and breathed ECW. A shame it's dead and gone. Well, the REAL ECW, that is. What Vince parades around masquerading ECW is a dadgum travesty and a blasphemy.

::sigh::

Favorites? Cactus Jack. Sabu. Raven. New Jack. RVD. You know, really, you can bring out the whole ECW locker room from back in the day, and I'd be happer than a pig in poop. I loved pretty much all of 'em.

::double sigh::

I loved ECW.  I also loved that it was my 'hometown' promotion, emanating from Philly initially.  Unfortunately, I think they had an age limitation thing, so I was really kinda unable to see them live.  I didn't turn 18 til '02, and by then, they were outta business.  But I watched them regularly on tv.

A friend of mine met Vincent (Million Dollar Man's 'Manservant, also the NWO's Virgil) at a Wizard World Convention.  Wanted $20 for an autograph.  I could see if he was a bigger star like Booker T, Stone Cold, etc.  But dude, you're Vincent.  You should be glad ANYBODY walks up to you for an autograph.

Hey! I'm gonna be at the same show!



Groovy.

[venomx]

WilliamWeird1313, cool! are you going to get one of the wrestler's autographs?

I myself can't wait to meet Iron Sheik! He cracks me up. Did you ever hear him on Howard Stern? OMG lol.

[HappyGilmore]

Anyone get the "Macho Man" dvd set that was released?  I'm a little curious as to how it is, match wise.  Promos alone won't make me wanna buy it.  Thing that sucks is the lack of a 'biography' on him.  Reasons I bought the dvd's for Flair and Hart is the backgrounds on their lives.

[venomx]

No not yet, I want it though, I also want -


Jake the Snake Roberts: Pick Your Poison.

Roddy Piper - Born to Controversy.

The Hulk Hogan The Ultimate Anthology.

The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection.

That NEW Iron Sheik roast DVD lol.


I only have 1 WWE DVD right now -

The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior.

[HappyGilmore]

No not yet, I want it though, I also want -




The Hulk Hogan The Ultimate Anthology.

The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection.

Both are decent.  Mostly matches though, with a few interviews with the wrestlers talking about the matches.  I got a lot of their dvd's, well, not a lot, but a decent amount.  Of the one's I have, the one's I'd reccomend are:
Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses
The Rise and Fall of ECW
The Legacy of Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Monday Night War

I would've reccomended the Benoit dvd, but I'm not sure how I feel about it anymore.  The matches were great, but I have lost a considerable amount of respect for him, cause anyone that MURDERS his own son, a child, doesn't really deserve praise.  I doubt you'd find it in stores at this point though, cause WWE has pretty much written him entirely out of their history books.  You might find it on EBay or something.

[venomx]

Nope. I have no respect for Benoit, not after what happened.

Anyway, I did see The Rise and Fall of ECW, That was good. Sad about ECW though.
I also seen The Monday Night War, WWE 24/7 ... that was good as well.

How about this? Was this real or fake? If it was real I feel bad for Jeff.

I never watched much WCW back in the day, but I've read that this is the moment WCW signed its death warrant, and allowed WWF/E to commence tromping it in the ratings war.  I also read that that night on WWF Raw is War was the night Mankind captured the WWF title from The Rock for the first time.  That being the case, and Raw being pre-taped, they announced the results and new WWF title winner on Nitro, causing a ton of fans to switch their channels from TNT to USA.
