Michael_3165 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Mick Foley was a disinterested, money grabbing bastard. He didn't seem to be happy being there and constantly asked his helper if people had paid. As though we were all going to nick his stuff. Â Ric Flair was polite enough but I got the feeling we were just like a conveyer belt to him. He said 'hello sir' without looking up and signed before I was corralled off to the exit.

Paid Members herbie747 Posted March 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 6, 2015 Â Lex Luger and Sting refused to sign autographs for the ten people waiting for them after a show. A task which would have taken 5 minutes tops. Â To be honest, I never blame wrestlers for that. They're tired, in a rush to get out, and if they get caught signing could end up there all day. Â Completely agree - if you annoy someone in an airport or while eating, and then say afterwards that they were rude to you, you're really the only knob in that scenario.

martinQblank Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 In relation to the above with Sting & Luger ... Â The coach they were on didn't leave for at least another half an hour with them on it. There was no more than 10 people waiting. Gangrel, Luna and Buff Bagwell all happily signed after them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 6, 2015 Was this the infamous WWA tour when Luger and Sting did 5 minute main events to rounds of boos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRINCE2356 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 My misery list: Â AJ Styles - face like a wet fortnight, not chatty at all. Â Chris Hero - When winning a competition at a Noah Show few year back, got to be a second for Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli, Claudio (Nice Bloke), Hero (didn't seem as receptive, just seemed a dick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I know it was probably easier for them to just sign stuff since they're waiting anyway, but I give them full exoneration once the show is over and they're packed up and trying to leave. It's their own time, and you don't know what's going on in their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Only had a few bad experiences meeting wrestlers, and none really bad.  Robbie E was probably the worst. Just seemed like a dick.  JTG wasn't particularly interested when I met him, and thought he was a nob, but met him again a year or two later and he was cool, so maybe a bad day. Same went for Justin Gabriel.

Stunner Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Tommy Dreamer was a bit miserable and clearly uninterested, but so would I be if I was sat in the corner of a basketball court in Stevenage. Â The worst, in my experience, were Davey Richards and Michael Elgin. I took my little brother to his first wrestling show and he went purchased a tour poster and asked all the wrestlers he could find to sign it, they all obliged except for Richards and Elgin, who demanded a tenner each to sign it. As he came back to me he said "Those two wouldn't sign it but everyone else did," and as I looked up to see who, both of them were basically staring me down, daring me to go up and have a moan about it. It's not even the fact they charged per se, just the fact they totally brushed off a kid and then tried to be all threatening to me about it. Â Mick Foley was a bit standoffish the second time I met him, whilst he was quite nice the first time. Probably worth pointing out we were near the front of the queue first time, and one of the very last the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Azrall Posted March 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2015  Kendo Nagasaki. Arsehole of the highest order.   I could not agree more with this. Met him years ago at a UCW event in Trowbridge, he blanked everyone there and refused to answer any questions, unless of course you wanted a picture, which his agent demanded a fiver for.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not a bad impression as such, but I remember having a really awkward chat with Sonjay Dutt when I was waiting to meet and get a pic with Homicide. I didn't really like his wrestling so I didn't want to be all fake and pretend I was a big fan, but I didn't want to be rude. So it was just proper small talk.

Paid Members Southside crew Posted March 14, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 14, 2015 I fully understand that wrestlers will treat me differently than a fan but on the whole have always found most guys to be ace. Â The other week I was with X-Pac and we got talking , he said he hates it when wrestlers phoned it in at signings and it only takes half a minute to make it a special experience for somebody - was a true pro and every fan we had said nothing but nice things about him which is always nice to hear.

TheShowOff Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 X Pac's an interesting one. For somebody who used to walk around shitting in bags he really comes across as an intelligent and respectful man at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
