    I am driving down to the Cork show tomorrow (from Waterford) if anyone wants a lift. Just split the petrol cost when/if I have to fill up.

    Glad to hear it went well! If you went to the event can you write up a review of it? Meet and greet, what you got signed, topics covered etc.

    Jesus man, 240 shots? You must have been snapping non stop. They're good but 90% are all the exact same thing.

    I was at the Dublin gig and I had a meet and greet with Roddy. He was a complete Gentleman and Legend. He answered a couple of questions I had for him and signed my limited senitype from Wrestlemania 3 and for the posed photo I asked would it be ok for him to put me in the sleeper for it and he smiled and said of course.

    Now I am 6'3 legit and started to bend down for a posed photo he wispered im my ear it's ok stand up and prepare he then kneed me in the back and I fell right back into him and put the sleeper on with a nice bit of force I semi sold it lol for the photo :) But someone later on and fair play fulled sold it.

    I asked could I look at his HoF ring and he let me try it on it was smaller than I thought it would but still very nice. I was kind of shaking from nerves as Roddy was the reason I fell in love with wrestling way back in the early 80's.

    Honestly they say never meet your heroes but Roddy Roddy Piper was everthing and more I could of hoped he would be!

    He started off telling a story about how he got involved in wrestling at the age of 15 and living in YMCA's in Canada to learning the bagpipes and his first match with Larry the Ax.

    He then went on to tell his first road story traveling with Mad Dog Vachon.

    It was an amazing evening all told.

    The one pain in the ass for most people there was about three lads trying to get themselves over interrupting Roddy mid sentence and distracting him instead of just listening to him tell his stories.

    Those kind of dicks make it embarrassing to be a wrestling fan at times...
    Mad I missed it though, sounds like it was class
