Good
Morning, I attended "Big Time Wrestling's" event in Danbury Connecticut
yesterday, I wanted to pass along some thoughts and share a few photos. ~ Thanks

"Big Time Wrestling" was running
two shows in the Northeast this weekend featuring the soon to be Hall Of Famer,
The Icon Sting! This was the first time I attended any of the promotions events.
Obviously Sting was the selling point for me.
I made the hour and a half drive
to the venue. Doors were scheduled to open around 5:30pm. Around 5:45pm I was
inside the building and waiting in line to meet Sting, I would say 95 percent of
the line that was outside and wrapped around the building to get in were now in
line to meet Sting.
They kept Sting behind a black
curtain and would send three to five people in at a time. It made it a little
bit better that way you didn't have to many people "breathing" down your
neck.
Sting was signing autographs
pretty quick and taking photos, I had told him what a pleasure it was to meet
him again and thanked him for a great career. He thanked me in return while we
posed for the picture. I also mentioned that I looked forward to his HOF speech
in a few weeks and congratulated him on going into the HOF.
Sting thanked me once again and
autographed my two items, I asked him if he wouldn't mind inscribing "HOF" on my
Defining Moments figure which he did, personally I think the figure came out
perfect! Sting was down to earth and very humble, always a pleasure to
meet.
Quickly after I meet Sting I
went over to meet Lex Luger, his line now had nobody in it and I sat right down
next to him, I've never meet Lex before and felt really bad seeing him in the
condition that he is. I told Lex that one of my all time favorite childhood
memories of him was when he body slammed the late Yokozuna. He personally
thanked me for remembering that and bringing that to his attention. I mentioned
to him how great it would be to see him in the HOF one day. He said never say
never and anything could happen. Seeing Lex in the shape he is in now was very
upsetting but he was in great spirits and extremely nice. In all I had good a
time. ~ Thanks David
