Im much happier after gone then if i hadn't have.RebelRockChick wrote: »Tempted to travel up for this, but if he is only signing the book then it might be a waste of a trip since someone (;)) already got the book signed for me
The signing seems like a perfect chance for any of those people who were completely glazed over when they seen bret at the table in front of me.
Met a mate's brother who i never knew even was that bothered with wrestling at the dundalk AWR and he went on to tell me how much he loved Bret and how nervous he was to see his childhood hero and that.
So to help his nerves he had for shots and joined the queue.
Found him afterwards and he told me that he walked over to the table, pointed at his camera to which bret replied "A photo? Sure". And after the picture was taken Bret pointed to Craigs shirt as he was standing up and Bret said "Cool, Ghostbusters! That's nice."
(Craig had a tee on with a slimer print).
And Craig brilliantly mumbled "Yeah? Awesome." And simply just walked away.
He regrets how he couldnt muster up anything to say to him that night so im sure he will be at this to make up for it.0 -
Just wanna clarify one thing here guys, anyone who missed him at the first signing last year, don't be afraid to approach the guy. He's really approachable and easy to talk to. So when yer queueing, don't sh*t a brick. Just be yourselves. 0

In fairness I did the same to Foley where I just stared at him and pointed.
I think I even squeeked when I tried to talk.
This was in contrast to the Hoff signing (who I love just as much) where he dragged me over for a photo, put his arm around me and kept joking with me about how I was sick in the head for wearing a tshirt of him in Speedo's from the 80's.
That was awesome 0 -

I feel 9 again.... asked my cousin to get me an autograph the last time he was over but in my cousin's own words "I dropped the Cosby kids when i seen him" and so i never got it cos my cousin was too scared to approach him
Hopefully this time i will actually get it cos this guy is my hero!
Its great to hear that he is actually really approachable cos it would put a downer on it if he was stuck up his own arse,that saying,never meet your idols cos you will only be disappointed.
By the way,has anyone read the book???0 -
Foley I found really approachable, I met him again in Universal Studios last year with Dewey and Nicole and a simple "Hey Mick" got a big smile and a high five from him, compared to Michael Cole who wouldnt even pose for a pic even though we were the only people in the bar to recognise him, even Kerwin Selfies (grey haired guy with a beard who does a lot of interviews for the dvds, is one of the heads of production) was a pleasure to talk to, was amazed someone would travel from Ireland to Florida for a wrestling event and was really chatty, I was gutted though cos he wanted to interview us but the girl who was carrying the camera doing fan interviews had gone to bed for the night, i could have been on the dvd ah well.. 0

Utter bullsh*t, i've met many musicians who have inspired me to write/play bass over the course of the last ten years, every single one of them have been professional and courteous. That said, you can usually tell if someone wants to be approached or not. It's not rocket science.By the way,has anyone read the book???
Yep, long, detailed and worth every minute you've spent reading it. Do a search for the books thread here, you'll get more info there.0 -

I have met some of my idols aswell but this guy is my first "hero" and its cool that he is nice to his fans. This news has made my week 0 -

That wasn't strictly a book signing. In fact I don't think Bret even had that date/venue mentioned on his site except for the AWR gig. That was Wrestling Mania and AWR pulling some strings before the listed signing on his site (to their credit)i would hate that, i want to go to this signing but i already have the book signed, should that exclude me?!
Again, I'm not really the person to ask there, I don't know (or want to know) anyone at Easons. 0 -

Yeah they allowed a little leeway, because they're like that.having said that, that wasnt the way it turned out through no ones fault the numbers just determined thats what would happen!
Well some people just took the piss. I remember one guy brought about 10 postcards! The agent stepped in and said only 2 postcards and the book!0 -

yeah they seemed really cool alright!ShawnRaven wrote: »Well some people just took the piss. I remember one guy brought about 10 postcards! The agent stepped in and said only 2 postcards and the book!
:pac: that is all kinds of rediculous, i mean bret was only supposed to be there for an hour, if everyone did that he never would have made the AWR show!

Well thats just it, on top of that, they were stuck in traffic on the way in too, as a result the poor guy didn't even get a chance to have a coffee before he started or after he left.0 -
