Me and a friend had breakfast with Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis in Preston Premier Inn. On the way out walked past Rikishi with about a dozen eggs on his plate.

I remember being sent the picture as I went toget my train that morning.

Did you ever meet his "manager"? That old dear he scammed all that money out of and left with loads of legal troubles.

Best contact his parole officer.

No just his daughter I think it was as someone I assume was his gf/housekeeper  at his London Colney pad

Took a piss next to Randy Orton at the 2004 Hall Of Fame Ceremony....He smelt divine.

 

On the same trip the murderous cunt Jimmy Snuka was everywhere we went, to the point I thought he was my shadow.

Flying home from WrestleMania weekend this year, All three members of British Strong Style, Travis Banks, & Dave Mastiff were all on our flight.

What struck me as odd was that Mastiff was on his own, whereas the other four all stayed together the whole time.

 

At the check-in desk there was only 3 or 4 people between them in the queue, in the departure lounge they were all sat in the same area but Mastiff was a few seats away from the rest of them, then arriving at Manchester the next morning the foursome stayed on the plane until last whereas Mastiff got off with everyone else.

 

In everyday life it's perfectly normal for people who work together maybe not being best mates who socialise outside work, but it struck me as odd at first because I just presumed all of the British wrestlers would be pals experiencing this NXT adventure together.

Mastiff was probably recovering from me accosting him in JFK for a picture.

Could have been worse, could have been trying to kill you

Mine aren't wrestler related but MMA fighter's, only one of whom I was speaking with. 

I took a piss next to Rampage Jackson in a Vegas airport, would have been the summer of 2007. I wouldn't dare chance my eyes moving from the ceiling for fear of extreme inadequacy, but I'm sure if he did, he would have gotten a right laugh. Maybe he felt sorry for me and that's why he chatted to me at the sinks. Rampage then told me a story about enjoying a recent trip to Belfast, as he was pretty impressed by the quality of his encounters with the ladies whilst he was there. By the look on his face, it seemed to me that he was recalling a pretty good evening. 

The other one was a few years later. @wandshogun09 might like this one. I think it was 2011. Myself and a friend of mine were standing in a queue for a roller coaster in Busch Gardens in Florida. There were either three or four seats per row, and we were pretty close to the front of the queue, in that mid range of either going to just make the cut for this next run or first on the next one.

The attendant was doing his thing of waving people into seats based on how many were in their party, and when he looked to his right (my left), I saw off to the side of me just a couple of feet away, Wanderlei Silva and a couple of people with him vault themselves over the barricade, they ran for the front of the ride, sat down and pulled the head restraint down and just sort of acted like nothing had happened. The attendant hadn't a notion. Obviously I knew fucking better than to complain about the Axe Murderer skipping in front, and I'm guessing all the head tattoo's meant that nobody else was going to bother either. I was just jealous as I didn't get on the same car as them and couldn't find out if Wanderlei Silva, big and bad as he is, screamed like a school girl while going around the loops. I like to imagine that he did, and that I'm tougher at roller coasters than he is.

Stumbled into a dive bar in NOLA during 'Mania week, only to discover we had gatecrashed some unofficial wrestler's reunion. It was when we were in the middle of ordering drinks when we released that we were the only non-wrestlers in this incredibly small venue. They obviously picked this secluded place for a reason and you could here the proverbial piano stop playing as soon as we walked in, but we just brushed it off as local hostilities towards wandering tourists at the time.

My mate spotting one of the Uso's was the first tip off, then we slowly looked around...Corey Graves...Renee Young...Carmella...Bray Wyatt (looking terrified at the state of the men's toilets)...Samoa Joe...Joey Janela...Nick Gage...and a few more. We promptly downed our drinks and got the fuck out of there.

I used to work behind the bar at Live Lounge in Cardiff - people familiar with the establishment will know it as a right shit hole - when one Tuesday evening about 4 years ago I start my shift to be told the WWE wrestlers had booked a VIP area for the evening. The idea of a VIP area in Live Lounge, of course, being laughable.

My brain starts trying to figure out why John Cena would be in Cardiff on that day when there’s no UK tour going on, but my confusion is soon alleviated when in walk Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty Too Hotty. Scotty then proceeds to spend probably 15 minutes staring directly at me from his booth which concerned me a bit.

I also signed a petition Bob Backlund forced upon me in Dallas a few days before Wrestlemania 32. Couldn’t tell you what it was about now, which is worrying. Probably couldn’t have told you what it was about at the time either, which is even more worrying.

Looks like you signed your name to something either brilliant or awful;

For those that have asked, Bob Backlund is not under a full-time talent contract with WWE. I believe he is under a Legends deal and he is getting paid for appearance for now. His storyline with Darren Young could be a short-term deal until Young starts wrestling on TV again. Backlund was on Vince Russo’s podcast this week to talk about his current run, his relation with Vince McMahon, Sr. and Vince, Jr., losing the WWF title to The Iron Sheik in 1983 and more.

Backlund is looking to start his own podcast. He was seen asking fans to sign a petition in Dallas with the idea being that he could get on a podcast network.

You get a picture?

[TheBurningRed]

Another piss story, but I’ve pissed next to both Marty Scurll and Lord Gideon Grey in York Hall. 

Al Snow and german wrestler Bad Bones were in my local rock pub a couple years back one evening I was down there. It was when Al had opened up a wrestling school over here. Which I don’t believe was a success. 

I was having a fag down the side of the Clapham grand when Jack Evans asked me for a light. We spoke about football. 

I can’t remember if the story was posted on here before or twitter, but I love of the story of Tanahashi being spotted in a Toby Carvery by himself after one of the Rev pro shows in Reading.

Saw Alex Shane at Euston station back in 2006. I'm a big guy and we both were buying coffee and he moved his bags out of the way when I was no where near them to make room for me. Think he was scared.

Met Mickie James for a meet and greet in 2016, I had to ask for a picture as I came late and missed the photo op and was very nervous ended up knocking my beer over the floor before the picture then froze after it and she gave me a look like "you not eve going to say thanks?..anything?" I looked around and nodded at her but I was embarrased she may have seen me kick the pint.
