Bret Hart

Dave H

Met Kane at WWF New York in 2001. He's huuuggge in real life.

Omackeral

Outside of signings or anything like that I met Kid Kash and all he did was bury AJ Styles calling him a ballerina and a pussy. Weird.

Nattie Hart, Daniel Bryan, Yoshi Tatsu, Big Zeek, Tyson Kid, Randy orton and Ref Jack Doan and Lilian Garcia.

Mick Foley and next week Alicia Fox and Alberto Del Rio

Normstorm

Met Daniel Bryan at the DGUSA 1st anniversary show in the old ECW Arena during the period he was "fired" from WWE. Himself and Shingo had just destroyed each other moments before in a belter but he was still a gent!

seandotcomm

Eddie Guerrero in Belfast before a show in the Odyssey

RVD who was wandering around inside before a show one time.

John Cena upstairs in HMV Grafton Street before a signing in the basement in 2006 or something.. he actually came up to me and said "nice shirt" as I was wearing an old Cena shirt from when he was a heel.

Jericho after a Fozzy gig in Belfast years ago. Pretty sure he was off his tits but was really cool to everyone

X-Pac before an Indy show a few years back

Rico ( remember the fabulous Rico!? before a belfast show a good, probably about 10 years ago but he sticks in my mind as being one of the soundest of the lot, really nice guy and what lovely sideburns )

Probably a few more I forget, and yea, tons at signings / axxess

Sabu stole my seat at an indy show in Ennis once.

Alfred Borden

Met Gangrel once, thats it! Really cool guy.

Ape Lincoln

I met Joe E. Legend a.k.a 'Just Joe', in the basketball arena in Dublin about ten years ago. He was terible nice.

Sirsok

Was sandwich in the middle of a car between doug basham and big vito while they asked me about my sex life, proceeded to drink with the two where vito bought me a baby Guinness shot, then went out with basham where upon entering a nightclub they asked him to please not cause trouble.

Also met balls Mahoney , nice guy, gave me a few cigarettes (silk cut ultra) where he proceeded to tell me how his match with tanaka at ons 2 would of been match of the year had it not been down to time restraints. Also told me his wife has a disabled brother who he wanted to do a angle with in ecw where he punched him in a crowd but heyman wa afraid of the backlash they would receive for hitting a disabled person.

Met kid kash, nice enough, my tattoo guy did a tattoo for him while he was In Ireland.

Met shemus at a event in Kilkenny but I was a 16 year old smark who didn't recognise his potential and was more enamoured with mdogg 20 and johnny storm!

I have it in my head that he didn't steal the seat for a move in his match, but rather you went to the toilet and when you came back Sabu was sitting in your seat, just over to watch the wrestling in Ennis.

Hashtag_HEEL

AJ lee, Daniel Bryan, santino Marella, Alicia Fox, Bella twins, the shield, Alex Riley, Eve Torres, James Storm, Mick foley, Kaitlyn, Zack Ryder and in the weeks Sheamus and Piper will be added to the list.

Might even bump into one or two of the lads walking about Dublin this year

rickydreamboat

Met CM Punk, unfortunately. Ignorant *****.

sky88

Bottled meeting raven davari and balls mahonay when they walked into the supervalu i worked about 5 years ago

hufpc8w3adnk65

KingJamsie

Sheamus outside MSG after Survivor Series 2011, fella

HooohRaaah

Bubba Ray is an arsehole so is Mark Henry, CM Punk wasn't a dick to me but he was a dick to a guy who accidently botched a handshake before me

My best story is being invited to hang around after TNA in Manchester in the bar with Matt Morgan,Ric Flair and his wife,Magnus,Mickie James and Brian Hebner (also a dick,tried to get stuck into me like I was a mark even though I was ok'ed by Matt ) some of the stories and comments that night were amazing mad bitching about Dixie and Bischoff and I witnessed first hand Flair "being the man" while his then wife Jackie I think checked everything before he signed.

And the other wrestlers just accepted the drinks because apparently it's worse if you turn him down or embarrass him,this was the same tour Flair stayed behind in Dublin after demanding his advance. Crazy night.

bombidol

Tatanka - Mad
Jake the snake - stone mad
Vampiro - nice lad

loads more but my brain isnt firing up.

brianregan09

Met Bret Hart who was my childhood hero , Seemed a bit of an ignorant ****er , Just didn't want to be there and clearly was only there for the paycheck same night met Rhyno who was sound out even did a pic of us posing together was dead on bought 2 or 3 t-shirts and an autograph off him, Scotty 2 Hotty was there aswell couldn't get over how nice he was

but the soundest of the lot was Joe. E Legend chatted away for ages and genuinely looked to be having an awesome time, was really funny then seeing him be the Heel later on in the show and having his ass handed to him by Rhyno , and then bret sticking on the worst sharpshooter ever

PTH2009

I met the shield at the signing in Smyths last November. Nice guys

Also met kofi in the clarion and shook hands with big show and big e

Corholio

Met a few outside a hotel few years ago, only cause we were staying there as well.

Mickie James, Melina, Candice Michelle.....yes there's a trend lol Also met Big Show, Austin and Torrie Wilson, photo's taken on a disposable (remember them?) ended up not coming out I put up the photo's with some of the diva's above on a similar thread here a few years ago.

The soundest was easily Melina, extremely nice despite the fact I rudely asked for a pic while she was in the middle of eating a chocolate bar.

gerrybbadd

Met Drew McIntyre and Todd Grisham in Phoenix for Mania 26. Drew was sound, and took the piss out of me... And doesn't wash his hands after he pisses, according to my buddy, who met him in the jacks later on.

Todd and his wife spoke with us for ages, really cool guy

That's basically what happened, it wasnt taken during a match for a spot or anything I went to the jacks and came back and there he was sitting there watching a match, he was trying to rib one of the other wrestlers though I cant remember who it was, might have been x-pac or one of the old ecw guys. That was pretty surreal.

Met Michael Cole in a bar after Mania 24, he was a dick. Kerwin Selfies was really sound though, hes the guy with grey hair and a beard who works backstage, I think he was just amazed someone knew who he was so chatted to us for ages.

Sin Eater

Kurt Angle at a book signing, nice enough, but was rushed through things (which was fair enough as the signing was an hour or two late in starting). Of the people in the (massive) queue that I could see, I had the longest interaction with him, mostly because there was a lot of confusion in how to spell "Colm".

Also, met Maven in WWF New York, after he had won Tough Enough, but before it had aired over here. Heck of a nice guy, shame he wasn't able to breakthrough after winning Tough Enough.

Mick Murdock

Not a wrestler but stayed in the same hotel as The Coach in Florida a few years ago. He was still with WWE but they weren't in town so not sure why he was there.. Was nice enough to chat with us when we recognised him at the bar.

Vision of Disorder

Met Bret Hart, found him an absolute gentleman. I'd second the Scotty Too Hotty as a lovely guy nomination too.

ibFoxer

Batista- what an ignorant c***. Very much believed in his own hype.

Also Sheamus and Devitt long before they were WWE and Japan famous- obviously can't comment on them in recent years but back then they were both really nice guys.

Not met in person but i somehow ended up as friend with Justin Roberts on myspace some years back, around the time i was living in Dublin so 2002/2003? And in keeping with the ring announcer theme, Tony Chimel after the show in the RDS (i think??)

Dan_Solo

Not met in person, but I had an extremely odd e-mail exchange with Mr Warrior once. Not a well man either mentally or physically it seems.
Also chatted to I think it was Tanaka online. He was co-presenting a heavy metal internet radio show I was listening to.

montyrebel

Just back from meeting Alecia Fox and Alberto Del Rio, she was great and really lively, he was a bit down trodden and looked like he couldnt be arsed doing the meet and greet.

He is more tanned in real life as well than he appears on tv

cookiecakes

Met John Cena who was a genuinely nice guy. Also met Kurt Angle who was mad snotty with everybody. Maybe we just caught him on a bad day but he came across as really arrogant.

Last year, my husband had an interview in The Clarion and Chavo Guerrero sat down behind his interviewer in the reception. He said it threw him for a minute!

Actually, how could I forget to add Warrior to my list. I met him in LAX on the way back from Summerslam where he was to do press for WWE 2K14. Chatted to him for a good 5 minutes, really nice guy and down to earth I thought.. I was shopping for headphones and he was looking at the same time.. didnt wana bug him too much in an airport so was just saying hello but he was really sound and asked where I was from and if we were enjoying the trip etc..
Was a far better interaction than you'd get from a lot of guys I'd say.

That's great to hear TBH. With my interaction with him and what you read about his bust ups, I'd be kinda happy to think he wasn't screwed up inside and had a good outlook on life until the end.

citytillidie

Edge and Lita in a bar in Belfast both sound and drinking harp :eek:

Blani

Met The Shield last November at the Dublin signing and managed to get a sneaky pic in with Rollins.

http://instagram.com/p/o4LdELo_DI/

My bf got them to sign a pic of the Big Boss Man and got a loud "Ahh s#*t" out of Rollins and a laugh from Ambrose which was unusual as he seems super shy. All really nice guys and seem level headed. Rollins was the more chatty. Just gutted I didn't get one with Ambrose... Got a wink from him though. DEAD!

Great thread btw.

duuuaaaane

Used to go to signings back in the day and met a few peeps.

Met Matt Striker, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Jonathan Coachman, Mr. Kennedy in Long Island a few years back

Been lucky to interview (in-person) and meet Mick Foley, DDP, Chris Jericho.

Seems like you may have taken too many chair shots yourself! :P
