Re: Wrestling Collectors?
TNA was in Raleigh yesterday and I went to the show and a couple of events. From 1-3PM the had a Direct Auto signing with Jeff Hardy and Mickie James. I arrived around 12:45 and the line was already long. Took about 90 minutes but I got an autograph picture from both of them. Was hoping SoCal would be there since she was from what i heard the day before in Winston-Salem. Atlas wasn't letting posed pictures which I understand since the line was so long. Not much luck at the show the only autograph I got was from Earl Hebner on a trading card after the show. During intermission Earl was selling autograph shirts for $10 and would autograph them. I saw somebody do that and the guy tried to take a picture with Earl and the Atlas guy pretty much grabbed him and moved him. Not cool at all! The line wasn't that long anyways I heard Earl tell him come back after the show for the picture. Then after the show Mickie was having a concert and since a guy gave me a free ticket I went. Got Jeff Hardy and ODB to sign a trading card. Saw Gail Kim but she was busy talking so I didn't bother her. On my way out I saw Austin Aries and he was awesome. He was get like on TV the cool cocky. Talked a little then I asked him for a picture and he goes I rather not. I go that's cool and I respect that then he goes since I went about the right way to do it quick. Tells a story about a week earlier somebody took his picture without asking. I guessing it was a picture with him. Had a good time at the show and meeting the wrestlers.

Geez, sure hope TNA is posting here, so they can take your advice. Once again, hundreds of fan disagree with your opinion.mailboxofsuccess981 wrote:$100+ to meet Hulk Hogan?

Many TNA loyalists even concede that Hogan's involvement has been a positive.
At a NEW wrestling event last night, about 2,000 people turned out last night to see Hogan and Roddy Piper spar on the microphone than what shows up for the run of the mill TNA house show. TNA's attendance range for most of its own house shows is low-end 300-500 and high-end 800-1000.
Last night's show in Fishkill, NY is an easy indicator that proves Hulk Hogan still has much value to wrestling promoters/promotions.
And if you think for one minute that Vince McMahon won't do business with Hulk if and when he departs TNA, you're out of your everlasting mind.

Re: Wrestling Collectors?
Wow Cubsfan you're better than Damien Sandow. That's the most intelligent paragraph ever written on this board. Every point on Hogan made there is pretty darn accurate.
Hogan's the biggest draw ever, the guy's been making money for 30 years. I don't know why people expect him to draw what he used to, but he still does have an audience. Plus if he can keep contributing to a company like TNA, have fun doing it, and make money at this age why would people put him down personally for it?

Re: Wrestling Collectors?
I sent a pic 4 Chris Jericho to sign & a self addressed envelope. I didnt have time to stamp the SAE since I only had 1 stamp & if I waited another day 2 get a stamp it wouldnt get to him on time. Do u guys think he will still reply 2 me with my photo signed? I did however write him a long fan letter of how much I respect & admire him bc I really do & I sent him some fan art 2 show my support

Re: Wrestling Collectors?
It's a sad fact for the stars of the company, but no doubt whatsover in my mind that Hulk Hogan can draw more fans to a solo meet-and-greet than anyone in TNA.davidn2161 wrote:Wow Cubsfan you're better than Damien Sandow.

Jeff Hardy might be close in some markets, but Hogan's still the measuring stick.

Re: Wrestling Collectors?
I have a feeling other than a handful Hogan would outdraw just about the entire WWE roster for an autograph session as well.
Re: Wrestling Collectors?
Once you've met Hogan once or twice that luster disappears and it's like meeting any talent from yesteryear though, hence why TNA has seen a slow decline in the turn outs for Fan Interaction since 2010. His first true TNA signing and there was easily 800-1000 people there for the 'Main Event Session,' and as we saw this year that number was closer to the 300-600.CubsFanKEC1982 wrote: It's a sad fact for the stars of the company, but no doubt whatsover in my mind that Hulk Hogan can draw more fans to a solo meet-and-greet than anyone in TNA.

Part of that can be attributed to TNA not offering anything new in the way of major names, but there's only so many times that they can play the 'Meet Hulk Hogan for an extra 'X' amount of dollars' card.

Re: Wrestling Collectors?
You have some really nice names in there. I've seen a lot of Index cards being posted on this site, and the more I've thought about it they're actually pretty nice. Easier for shipping and returning than pictures, and the signature shows up really nice.
