Wrestling Collectors?

[gentlevader]

Ok a few things to ask.

1. Gentlevader, did you get Cody Rhodes and Goldust via venue?

They came and did a signing at Sports USA here in Fayetteville. I wet up there and met them.

Has anyone graphed Raw recently? What time do most wrestlers arrive. I might take a shot at going down to Old School Raw in Baltimore tomorrow.

I've graphed house shows and usually get around 2 hours before the start, but I feel Raw would be earlier.

What address has everyone been using for Christopher W. Anderson? I have a card I would love to send to him. Thank you.

Personally I get there around 9:30 just in case so that I can try and meet people like Charles Robinson, Brooklyn Brawler who are always running errands. However, I'd like 11 or 12 would be safe. They are supposed to check in by 2 so not many show up after 2.

Did Dibiase charge? How long was the wait?

[cpurish]

Dibiase didn't charge and the wait was about two and a half months

I would totally do this type of thing, but the one time I tried was at an arena where the talent was completely gated off to the point where there was no access. If I can find a venue where I can meet some of them, though, I really only want photo ops with some of the legends and a few of the current talents. I don't need too many autographs. In fact, most of the current roster I don't care for at all. I'd even be willing to get extra stuff signed for another fan if they helped me get the few photo ops I'm looking for!

I've done it at a few arenas/shows. Best places are usually either the smaller venues the WWE does in the summer months (they usually hit a few beach towns up and down the east coast in June/July) or older arenas. Newer arenas often have an underground parking garage, so interaction is more difficult.
