Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted May 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 I will say that U.K. Taker cosplay lad is a very nice fella. He isnât a nob or up his arse (as you might possibly expect), he completely knows and appreciates that he is simply a cosplayer. The very young kids, and those with difficulties were truly overjoyed when they saw him and had photos. The whole weekend was fucking ace if truth be told. Arguably (by far) the best and most professional convention weâve been booked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like seeing your Nana posing with a donkey at Blackpool. I'm sure he's a lovely bloke. And the pretend Sting used to get loads of work around 90-91. Its not like its new.

Cannibal Man Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yeah Taker UK was great, photos were fuck all and he had a ton of quality belts you could pissarse about with. There was a couple of lads there too with a complete Hasbro collection that was fascinating, let me have a look at the mail away Hogan in his red Wrestlemania 9 clobber. Getting excited and taking a photo of myself holding it was the exact moment I knew i'd never experience real true human love again but it was worth it.

Sort of like seeing your Nana posing with a donkey at Blackpool. I'm sure he's a lovely bloke. And the pretend Sting used to get loads of work around 90-91. Its not like its new. Oh absolutely. Iâve never personally understood cosplay especially spending the amount some people do, and then the way they take their character very seriously. Who the fuck am I to talk though, with boxes full of unplayable Japanese wrestling games and knock off hasbros. The one thing I realised at this event, unlike previous ones, is that some of the young kids just assume âwrestlerâ when they see a 1/2 decent cosplayer, and get a photo. Puts mam & dad in the good books and the kid goes home happy. Visually, itâs also better to look around the event and see more than just 2000 shock the system shirts. Thereâs a fine line though. One fella dressed up like bad ass Taker got booed during the cosplay competition. He got angry and upset on the internet afterwards. The crowd were actually booing the fact he was a baddy character, but he couldnât see that and just took it really personally. A Doink cosplayer was double doinking for photos with people at the event. Seconds after this photo, a flummoxed Lombardi walked past. Wish Iâd caught that. While Iâm on, Marty... Jesus. He got in the ring during his Q&A and the first thing he said was âIâm single, ladies come chat with me after thisâ. Then he wobbled off on his bizarre ankle. Honestly, it looks like a full on right angle. Itâs like a shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at booking Marty a few years back, so got chatting to him on Facebook. His messages were pretty incomprehensible, but it became clear that he didn't really understand where Jersey was, and that he was wanting to fit in more shows in the UK than we could accommodate around travel requirements, so nothing came of it. Nearly two years later, with no communication or interaction whatsoever in the interim, he sent me a thumbs up emoji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No regrets. Doink was a good lad too, made me think that Lombardi might have got more of a queue in full Doink gear.

One lad asked him if there was anyway he could get him on his podcast. A âNoâ would have been suffice, but Lombardi said âIâve been on Austinâs & Jerichos, why would I want to come on yours with no listenersâ... the lad has just given him ÂŁ40 for a photo & auto. Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
