WWE Success (long read sorta)

Unread post by onewild&crazyguy »

This ones almost a month old already but Ive had comp trouble lately so I couldnt really post it then. But when Smackdown/ECW was in town last month........

They were having a Batista book signing later that day but you had to have a wristband to be guaranteed an autograph (after buying the book) so I went straight from work to the bookstore at 6 am and there was already a line.........bought my book got wristband and went to a Dodge dealership where Rey Mysterio was supposed to have a signing that day well I got there at about 9 am and was first in line (people started showing up around 930) so I waited there.......at noon they told us he would be appearing on Raw and couldnt make it so they were replacing him with Kane

(I was really happy to meet these guys though it might not look like it in my pics cause i had been up for over a day already and had just spent 5 hrs on my feet (no seats) waiting for Kane)
Image

Went to the Batista book signing but you couldnt get a pic with him so that sucked.......He knocked out about 200 something autographs in 45 minutes

So after that me and my friend head to the hotel we think theyre staying at (cause its literally right next to the arena) and have a drink at the bar.....While were sitting there Jamie Noble walked up and after a couple minutes so did Finlay, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, and Arn Anderson. They wanted to go out somewhere else so we gave them directions.

We decided to go get our camera out of the truck and see Vladimir Kozlov and Atlas Daboe (guys in developmental places not brought up to the big roster yet) and they signed for me and got a pic with both
Image

Well we decided to wait up front and try to get Finlay and Jamie Noble when they came back (I had already met the other two) when a car pulls up and out comes Rey Mysterio surprisingly I recognized him with no mask and asked for a picture he said Im a lil tired then looked at me and said So do you and started laughing cause I was fallin asleep standing up so I said "Yeah thats what happens when you stand in line at a signing and the guy doesnt even show up :) " He asked where I was in line and when I said first he put his stuff down and got a pic with me and signed a card
Image

A couple minutes later Finlay and all them get back. Arn goes in first (he was the designated driver) then steamboat as Finlay is walking by I asked for a picture not really expecting one cause he usually doesnt take pictures but he was drunk and got one with me
Image

me and my friend started saying wasnt Noble with them.......Then we hear him peeing in the flowerbeds and puked too. I couldnt resist asking him for a pic even though he was obviously wasted
Image

I went to the truck and took an hours nap then when I woke up realized who else was in the parking lot and had to get a picture
Image

About then a limo passed so we walked up and a couple of people got out then Batista got out he signed a card and 8x10 for me then took a pic with me but his friends were yellin something about them heading to the room so he wasnt looking at the camera. Oh well its still a pic with Batista
Image

Later on at the gym got Funaki CM Punk and Tommy Dreamer but the batteries died on the camera (and they were new batteries)

Those were cool and you have some neat stories to tell at least! It stinks about your camera, and I probably wouldn't recognize Rey without his mask myself. Man, what time were you waiting at the hotel, if everyone was coming back smashed, it had to be late, lol! You can tell you've done this a few times, to know when to go to the gym and everything. I'm going to watch Raw in January, going to try and wait outside the arena before hand and see if we can get any autographs. Any tips?

Ive honestly never tried outside the arena (cause here theres two different drive in entrances to the big parking lot they go into) lucky for me one of those is from the parking lot of a holiday inn. I actually went to the gym cause a friend called and told me they were there and its the closest gym to the only other nice hotel they would have stayed at plus its where I got Cena last time so I figured thats the gym he was talking about (he was freakin out too much and hung up before telling me which of the 4 24 hr fitness' in town he was at) And how late......Ummm we showed up as Raw was ending cause we were watching it in the bar when Noble showed up and Batista came in (he was stumbling too) around 3

Great success and good pics, and a fun story to go with them (especially in Noble's case LOL). Mysterio looks even more tired than you though, wonder how little sleep he had? :lol:

it pays off when you put in the effort though. i'll eventually post about my latest and best experience yet. i absolutely adore mickie james and i drove 11 hours in one day to see her. ended up getting a signed pic and replica belt, 4 pictures with her, and even a kiss. can't beat that!

hey. i hope the event hasn't passed yet, i just signed up on the board. my success stories have come from meet and greets, but i recently met jeff hardy after raw. you just have to get out quickly once the show is over, and try to find where they come out of. i looked for either a crowd of people or where their big production trucks are. on one side of the building, i ran into carlito, charlie haas, and umaga looking for their car, but they all seemed to be in a bad mood or in a hurry. then i ran to the other side of the building after talking to security (also a good tip) and waited around. both hardy boys were kind enough to stay and sign and pose with fans. i've met matt before, so i waited for jeff and got a picture with him.

good luck!
