More Hulk & Friends Feedback

It was a terrible experience! I bought the ticket thinking they were going to be signing too. It started with an email saying it was starting at 5pm I got in line at 5pm and had to wait 40 mins before they even opened the doors. Then I found out they were not doing autographs. Then we do a group photo, I didnt like that. Then the shiw was so boring that I fell asleep half way through it. After the shiw hogan was first to leave the stage. Then fifteen minutes later most of the guys leave while fans were waiting to get their photos. A couple guys came out and signed stuff for the fans that asked. I waited for 45 minutes for my photo which was supposed to be given at the end of the show, which they announced they would be emailing us our photos. I really dispized this event. It didnt even seem like hogan wanted to be there!

Earlier that day I went to the legends of the ring event in jamesburg nj and had an awesome time there. I paid less money for lotr and had a better time. Everyone was happy and energetic. I got more out of going to lotr than going to hogan and friends and it was less expensive. Spending the $125 on hogan and friends was not worth it and I am not going to waste no more money on him.

They should have better informed us on what to expect. The staff tried to save money in this loser photographer. They need to plan better and be more organized with big events like hogan and friends.

Thanks
Hov

This is not a report from the Hulk and friends but from a signing on Thursday night at the Starters Riverport Lounge in Bethlehem Pa.
The Nasty Boys were doing an autograph signing there from 6:00-8:00 to promote the Hulk and Friends event. Since there was nobody that knew what they were doing , a good friend of mine Bud Carson was asked to step up and run the signing event. Volunteering to take timeout of his own schedule Bud showed up with his entourage to make sure this event ran as smooth as his many in store signings.Well what went on for those two plus hours , I must give it to Bud. Brian Knobbs was relentless in mocking , calling Bud names because of his physical stature , and just wouldn't stop picking on him because of his relationship with promoter Eric Simms. Constantly trying to be grade this Christian gentleman saying such things as "you f***king promoters all you do is live your lives off of us , who really lived it" Let me tell you something Mr. Knobbs you should thank your LORD every day that HE gave you that big athletic body , that by the way you are destroying it with your drinking and drugs and obvious over eating. And respect the promoters who are getting you appearances and making you money. In my opinion you are nothing but a big fat bully who got an undeserved shot at greatness. You should be ashamed of yourself! But I know you don't care! As for Bud Carson he sat there for three hours taking Knobbs bulls**t and barely uttered a word. To me Bud is a much stronger man than Knobbs will ever be. After it was all over, all Bud had to say was " I know who Knobbs is and He knows who I am , but we don't know each other personally." With that said I just want to say that the Nasty Boys drew about five people to this signing, that figures! Plus the Starters promised Bud and his entourage at least a meal , they got nothing but a hassle from one of the most unprofessional wrestlers I have ever met. Jerry Saggs however was nice.

IN THE ROOM to Air on WEXP Radio, Philadelphia
October 11, 2011, Philadelphia, PA–We here at TBH.com are pleased to announce an agreement with Philadelphia’s WEXP 1600 AM to air IN THE ROOM live. Although no official timeslot has been announced, it is presumed the show will air this week on a tape delay as negotiations remain ongoing.

“I’m so excited for this opportunity,” said Brady Hicks. “IN THE ROOM has been taking baby steps, here and there, for a while now. In the last 2-1/2 years, we’ve made the jump to TBH.com after becoming the most popular show on Who’s Slamming Who, we’ve changed our name, had on some huge guests, and, most recently, decided to take the show live, through an agreement with Spreaker Radio. Make no mistake … getting terrestrial radio here in our home market of Philadelphia is a huge leap, and it’s an opportunity to take us to the next level.”

Said Danielle Ferrari, the current GM of WEXP: “WEXP was down for the past year or so but we finally just recently got it back up and working. I think that this opportunity to bring on an established wrestling talk program will be mutually beneficial for both our station, as it looks to grow, and IN THE ROOM.”

WEXP is located in the heart of Philly on the campus of La Salle University, the alma mater of both Brady Hicks and DJ. IN THE ROOM airs live on Monday nights, 10 PM EST, courtesy of Spreaker Radio in San Francisco, and is replayed on Tuesday evenings. To call in to the show, dial (609) 7555-ITR.
