Yesterday's success..

Sgt. Slaughter - 8/10-8/24 - Signed 2 photos he took with my kids. I was honestly a little shocked this one worked. The kids were pretty pumped and smiled all day. The photos are already hangin' on their walls. lol..

Sweet man! My girl got him for me last week on an 8x10 of him, Jim Nelson, & Don Kernodle. She got him in her encyclopedia also.

[DeathBoyTheSick]

Nice! Did she get him at the Richmond game or was he somewhere else near by? I'm really hoping he comes back to Salem again next year.. he was really awesome. lol..

[slayerfan]

No it was at the Hillcats game in Lynchburg.

For anyone who has ever heard the old saying it is better to be lucky than good, that surely applied to me today

My friend and I went to the Impact show tonight and of course we wanted some autographs so we arrived very early, 9am for a 7pm show. Seeing how it was super early we wanted some coffee before we went to the arena and started autograph hunting. We pull up at a hotel with a Starbucks and we see some TNA Tech guys out front so we assumed this was the talents hotel as well. Come to find out only the Tech team was there. Well we got the idea in our head we needed to find the hotel they were in. There was an upscale hotel across the the street and we thought it was worth a shot.......AND WE WERE RIGHT !!!!

Here is the list of who we got in the hotel lobby :

AJ STYLES : TNA LOGO PHOTO + ACTION FIGURE

ANARQUIA : LOGO PHOTO

ANGELINA LOVE : LOGO PHOTO + 1 CARD

ANTHONY NEESE : LOGO PHOTO

AUSTIN ARIES : LOGO PHOTO

BOBBY ROODE : $1 BILL

CHRISTOPHER DANIELS : 1 CARD

CHRISTY HEMME : 2 CARDS

CRIMSON : LOGO PHOTO

THE POPE : 1 ELIJAH BURKE CARD 1 POPE CARD

DEVON : LOGO PHOTO + 4 CARDS

DON WEST : LOGO PHOTO + BROWN BAG

ERIC YOUNG : LOGO PHOTO + 1 CARD

GUNNER : LOGO PHOTO + 1 CARD

JAMES STORM : SAME $1 BILL BOBBY ROODE SIGNED

KURT ANGLE : LOGO PHOTO + 4 CARDS

MATT MORGAN : LOGO PHOTO

MR ANDERSON : LOGO PHOTO + 1 WWE CARD SIGNED KENNEDY AND HE SIGNED IT A**HOLE ! LIKE I ASKED

ROB TERRY : LOGO PHOTO

RVD : LOGO PHOTO + 3 CARDS + MINI POSTER

These we got behind the arena before the show :

BRUTUS MAGNUS : LOGO PHOTO + 1 CARD

SCOTT STEINER : 3 CARDS + 1 CARD FOR FRIEND + 1 PHOTO FOR A FRIEND

JEFF HARDY : 1 CARD + 2 CARDS FOR FRIENDS + MINI POSTER FOR A FRIEND + LADDER MATCH DVD INSERT

JASON HERVEY (LOL) : LOGO PHOTO


And we got these two after the show :

EARL HEBNER : 1 CARD

MIKE TENNEY : 1 CARD

With this I think I done pretty well but this put "the icing on the cake". While we were still at the hotel I went outside to have a cigar. As a step outside an SUV pulls up. I turn around to see who steps out and it is .... HULK HOGAN !!!!
I ask him for an autograph and he says just a minute. He goes and tells a hostess at the steak house in the hotel he wants to be seated and he asks us to bring our stuff over for him to sign :

HULK HOGAN :1985 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED + 2 CARDS + MINI POSTER FOR A FRIEND


As I said in the beginning, sometimes it is better to be luck than good

Wow, that's awesome. I love it when hard work pays off when it comes to going so early to shows. Two of my favourite wrestlers to meet have always been Kurt Angle & Jeff Hardy. Congratulations on meeting Hogan, he's one of the only guys I have never met an would love to.

Bravesfan!!!!! Duuuuuude!!! What an AWESOME day!

But don't sell yourself short by saying you were lucky. Far from it, as you created your good luck by being prepared, vigilant and courteous (al least I assume you were...especially if you got Austin Aries and were allowed to stake out the hotel all morning, and didn't stick a dozen things in their faces to sign)

Congrats! (But, too bad there wasn't anybody from the Platinum set there)

[bravesfan1515]

Thanks 5150 !

Thanks eniele ! It is funny you should mention Aries. All the guys we met were super cool and he was one of the coolest (along with Brian Kendrick) and I even made a comment to Aries thanking him for taking the time to sign and for being coll about it and he kind of laughed and commented "Hey now dont blow my cover"


The only wrestlers/talents that didnt sign when when we asked were Bully Ray. He told us he would be in the bar in 15 minutes but I guessed we missed him, and Eric Bischoff. Bischoff was also in the bar and I asked him to sign, he didnt but was very nice about saying no. But I guess I handled rejection better after it was all said and done I left the show after meeting 33 wrestlers/talents and obtaining 69 autographs.
