U are not alone brother - I have a lot out there too, and know the addy's are good - The ones pissing me off is Flair, Piper (sent an 8x10 of he and me together), Orndorff (one of my faves) and Funk ... Also wish I would get a reply from Rotundo (sent 9-9-09), Muraco, Nikita and The Steiners ... All sent out last month ... patience, I know, but damn, I am getting ticked off ... LOL:-)
Got Tito and The Destroyer from the addy's in this thread. For Tito, used the salon address. Sent both on the 12th. Photo of me and Tito and an Italian "El Matador" card for Santana, and a photo and card for The Destroyer. Would love to meet The Destroyer someday.
Tammy has an eBay "Buy It Now" auction to mail her items and she'll sign them for a price. This is one thing I'm sure she wants to make money off of, and also her various appearances around. I don't really want to take sides in it, since as I've mentioned before I do know her well, and that's the same reason I didn't comment in her Facebook "conversation" on it. A lot who were commenting on it were simply people looking to suck up to her.
I can see it both ways. She wants to make money off of her personal appearances. Fine. The shows she appears at such as Legends of the Ring, Signamania, and NWA Fanfest--she's paying to be there. She should make her money back. She also claims to be weirded out by people sending to her home address. That's understandable, but in this day and age anyone can get anyone's address, so there's nothing that can really be helped by it.
Personally, I think if you're a celebrity and someone cares enough about your work to take the time, money, and effort to ask you to sign something, includes a nice letter, proper SASE, etc. and the celebrity isn't handicapped...they should do it. They're only as "big" as the fans make them.
If I was in that position, I would probably make a compromise. If I needed to make the money off of selling photos, autographs, etc. I would probably either sign a small business card or one of the items someone sent, and then include something saying to the effect of "If you would like additional autographs, you can catch me at..." or "Order at this website..." or something along those lines.
So let me understand this. She is "weirded" out by someone mailing her something to sign, so she decides to go on ebay and allow anyone who literally views the auction and decides it's worth X$ to know her personal address, to have that info for a price???? LOL, yeah she is certainly doing it for her own safety reasons.
If it wasn't for us she wouldn't even have enough business savvy (brains) to conjure up the idea. And the sad thing, who really cares enough to write her? The 5 of us are "too much and too weird"???? We send a piece of paper with our name and address, she knows exactly who sends and how to locate them, in the event "the wierdos find her address".
Honestly, if mine comes back with a price sheet I will write back what I truely feel about her.
And she dosen't pay for all those conventions. MANY of them she is given the space free just to add another name to advertise.
She seems to forget that she blew up to 200 pounds with a drug habbit and the few of us still care enoug to write a nice letter and make her feel good about herself.
JWLJN, I don't have facebook. Can you paste the comments she made about this topic in here? I'd like to see them.

I have out the same guys minus Don Muraco as you do, with no reply. I'm also suprised I didn't get back Tiny "Zeus" Lister, Matt or Jeff Hardy, Trish Stratus which I paid for and mailed off over 3 months ago, Velvet Sky, Nikki Roxx, Sabu, Tatanka, Taz, and especially Kevin Nash as I expected a RTS.
Obviously it takes time, but I don't consider wrestling like celebrity. If a celeb responds before 3 months I consider that fast. With this media I expect under a month, considering it goes directly to their home.

I agree with everything you say except for this. Can't speak for any small time show, but for the ones I listed above, the major names in the hobby, she does indeed pay for her spot. I'm sure she gets a decent deal at Signamania since she's pretty close with George and Marc, but she does indeed pay.
George and .Marc outright said she does not pay for her table at their show because they are good friends. If you don't believe me you can search their boards and you will indeed see it.
Someone even said for NWA George just brought her along since they had paid for their booth anyway and wouldn't have guest all day every day.
I wouldn't just say something like that had the promoter himself not said flat out she get's her table free of charge.

Haven't gone on those boards in well over a year. When the "New Yawk" area local yokels wouldn't shut up about Virgil's genitalia or how they won't travel to any shows (while we travel hours upon hours) and don't care to meet "such and such" person because he/she has been "all over the area"...I gave up.
I'd ask Marc, but I really don't have any personal need to go into any further. I only posted that she had said it as a heads-up for those who might've sent to her. I've gotten all my items signed by her in person and haven't paid anything in the last couple years.
