Wrestling Collectors?

Does anyone know how early TNA wrestlers show up for a show. I am going to the event in Ft. Wayne on Sat. and was going to try to get some autographs before hand. Thanks

i get too the building at least 3-4 hours before the doors open. The later they show up the less chance they will sign because they will be in a hurry too get ready. Go too there they park. i know Kurt Angle has signed many times here in the parking lot and he is usually the 1st too the building. And he gets there about 3-4 hours a head of time.

Got my first response in a while today from MICKIE JAMES using the address listed. Sent 2-8x10s, a poster, and a Topps '09. I forgot to degloss the card but it looks like she started to sign it realized it, and did it herself with no traces of eraser or baby powder, but she signed it clearly. Only took about 2-weeks which is nuts considering how busy she's been with Nashville for the CMT MusicFest and her appearances in New York. Planning on sending to her one-more time to try and get the event-used card I have signed by Lita signed by Mickie as well and the event-used card of her and Beth Phoenix signed.

Still waiting:
Bret Hart
Harley Race
Ricky Steamboat
Charlie & Jackie Haas
Low Ki\Kaval c\o FCW
and hoping that the cards I sent to FCW's last show with Miz, Danielson, and Christian made it through.

I just want to say in response to the first tip you received about showing up early, Kurt Angle is frickin awesome if you can catch him before or after the show. My first time meeting him IP was before a show two years ago (he was one of the first ones there by about 2 hours), but he took several pictures, signed four or five things for me happily, and even had the time to joke with me about not selling them on eBay. I also caught him few weeks ago when TNA was in Houston after the show, and although in a hurry he stopped and signed a picture of he and I from the aforementioned meeting and two cards for me.

TNA wrestlers in general are really cool about signing before shows as the one I went to last year in Corpus Christi, I showed up the usual 3 hours before to catch autographs and had the opportunity to meet everyone that was on the card from Bashir & Homicide who opened the card to AJ Styles & Samoa Joe who closed out the show and absolutely everyone in between. It helped that I know one of the security guards and he let me hang out pretty close to the entrance of the building so long as I didn't harass them if they were busy on the phone or hauling their bags in, but everyone stopped and signed for me. That's part of the reason why I'm so much a fan of TNA over WWE because the majority of the talent there appreciate the efforts of the fans be it those who show up way early for shows to those who make elaborate signs and those who are willing to hang out until 2am in a hotel lobby when the afterparty is over. And some of the ones who signed at the latter opportunity are guys who have a bad wrap with a lot of fans.

It took me a month too get a response from Ricky Steamboat but it was worth it. Also another good signer for TNA too me was Hernandez. He spent a good 30 minutes talking too me and my cousin after the matches couple years ago, until security made us leave.

Got tickets to TNA July 31st show 2nd row.... with first 3 rows getting a backstage meet and greet before the show. I am psyched considering RVD and Hardy are on the ticket.

Met them both and both are really great guys when it comes too signing for fans.

Yesterday and today's successes --

Masked Superstar (Bill Eadie) - sent 5/14 a sase, lor and photo - received 6/17 my photo back signed. I got him once before ttm on a Demolaition dual signed picture and that one had a water stain on the left side about mid way down. This one had the exact same stain! I'm guessing he must do it so you can't resale it, which is fine with me since My collection is simply for me. Here's the scan..

Road Dogg - Sent 6/12 a sase, lor and 2 chrome cards - received 6/18 both my cards and the ic I used to protect them all signed. Nice looking cards that the scan don't do justice. Here's the scan..

Justin Credible - sent 5/20 a sase, lor, card and 2 photos - received 6/18 both my pictures and the card all signed. This is a new address, his home address and I was stoked it actually worked, because I've been wanting to do a dual signed photo of him and Lance Storm and now.. I CAN! lol.. Anyways here's the address and the scans..

Thanks for posting the Cradible address. I've been searching for him for ages. He must have just bought a place or changed his address because this address never showed in any of the search engines.

It's awesome that you share the good info you have.
