I attended the Hogan book signing in Chicago. Hulkster was awesome! However, the store workers were AWFUL! I'm not even going to name the store as to not give them any publicity.
He was only allowed to sign the book. No other items. This would have been fine and understandable, but then they started rattling off rules for your cameras. We were allowed to take pictures of him FROM THE LINE. Once we got up to the front, we were told to put the cameras away. Yes, OUR OWN CAMERAS. They decided how we should be allowed to use OUR OWN CAMERAS. We understood that he wouldn't pose with people as to keep the line moving, but we could only try and snap pictures while he was signing someone else's book. You had to try and take a picture AROUND whoever was currently at the table.
Jimmy Hart was there as well and was his usual nice self. He stated that maybe once Hulk made it through the book line that he might sign other items if we waited. Originally, I had planned on waiting around. But, by the time I was done I was so turned off by the whole place. It was by far, the WORST book signing(Or ANY signing for that matter) that I have ever experienced.
At least Hulkster was cool.
I've enclosed some photos. You'll see what I mean by trying to take pictures AROUND somebody.

(Must book signings are just like the above. Hulk is there to just sign his new book. Most signings are at least 500 fans, and there is no time for one on one with the fans. There is not enough time. Although I must say Hulk has ALWAYS been a very fan friendly wrestler.)
