How bout I get this thing on track in a manner that only I can...
So, WWE came to within an hour of my house (Jackson, TN) for the first time in two years and also to Jonesboro, Ark.
I decided to make it two days of graphing for me.
On Friday, I waited for what seemed like forever at a spot before I finally started to see the fruits of my patience.
First to show up was one of the nicest guys on the roster at the present moment in Ryback.
He signed three photos for my wife and two for me.
Then, the floodgates opened and Kane, Cody Rhodes and Daniel Bryan showed up together. I opted to go after Kane and he signed all six photos I had and one of him as Doomsday in the old USWA for my wife.
My wife also got Cody to sign one picture in stride.
After those three, the flood gates opened and every one began to show up as bell time approached.
We caught The Miz (six photos total), Naomi and Cameron (three photos), IRS (one photo) and The Big Show (five total photos – one as The Giant in WCW). Show was in a great mood and joking.
IRS told my wife to be sure to get Sheamus to sign a photo as he loved doing autographs. Rib on the Fella, but he did sign and didn’t personalize one photo for my wife.
Finally was able to snag Damien Sandow, Kaitlyn and A.J. all on one photo each to complete the Friday rush. Sandow wasn’t doing any in-gimmick stuff. He was just signing and gone.
On Saturday, I scoped out a couple hot spots in Jackson and it led me to a few successes.
Kaitlyn was first up. She was very sweet and signed four photos for me and four for my wife. She wanted a little intel on where to stay in between Nashville and Knoxville. I gave her the best midway town I could think of and she was on her way.
Then, Cody and Daniel Bryan strolled through and we got them on a few pics (Cody on two for each of us) and Daniel on (three total, one completing a WrestleMania pic of he and Sheamus and another ROH oldie.)
No personalization from Bryan either. So, either he’s out of that mode or he was on Saturday.
A.J. was the final person we met at that locale and she signed one picture for me and one for my wife.
Then, we made our way to the arena where a large crowd had gathered near the back door. For whatever reason, a lot of the Superstars elected to sign on their way in the building.
At the arena, we were able to get Cody Rhodes (on two), Brodus Clay (on a pair), Kofi Kingston (on a pair) and Ryback (on two).
Tip of the cap to Kofi and Ryback as they signed for all the fans on each of the two barricades that were set up.
Ryback commented on how my photo had Stanski and Rosenberg in it and that was legendary to the boys.
Brodus’ signature have deteriorated horribly in the last few months.
During the event (I won tickets from a local radio station), I elected to buy the $20 signed CM Punk photo because I had some birthday money left over.
After the show, Layla signed two pics for me, while Cameron and Naomi each signed one photo and Titus O’Neil did one of my items as well.
Here’s some of the autos…
