Hi Georgiann. I know you have been asking for updates on the Wrestlingreunion Convention, But I wanted to let you know about the huge autograph signing in Allentown,PA. on June 3, 2006 at Carsons Pro Wrestling World which featured 2 of TNA-NWA biggest stars,The "Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Abyss.
I am a pro wrestling fan whether it is WWF/E,TNA-NWA and/or the Independent leagues. At least 150-200 people agree with me. When I arrived, the line was from the front of the store and going halfway down the block. When we were let in, the line was wrapped around the block. Although,I did not see Styles enter the store, It was not hard to see Abyss(Mask and all). His bodyguard was about 6 feet 4 inches tall and close to 290lbs. and Abyss was taller and looked much bigger than him. No wonder they call him the Monster.
I got in with the 1st group. Styles and Abyss were in the wrestling ring at 2 seperate tables. As I was waiting for my turn, I noticed how friendly AJ Styles and Abyss were to their fans. They were very appereciative that we were there and they spent more time with the kids. Which I was fine with. Some wrestlers will not do that. Styles and Abyss get a thumbs up from me for doing that.
I got to meet Abyss first. He signed my picture to my wife kelli(who could not be there) and to me. He shook my hand and I asked him if he could sign my NWA Adult Replica World Title Belt that I had brought with me. Georgiann, I could not see it with his mask on,But I knew he was smiling big time. Eagerly, he found a spot and signed it. I thanked him,shook his hand and went to see AJ Styles.
Like Abyss, AJ was a class act. We shook hands and he started signing my stuff. As soon as he got to the World Title Belt. He smiled big time. I will never forget this as long as I live. As he signed my belt, He said" I am putting 3 times on it so no one will ever forget." I told him" I don't think anyone is ever going to forget your title reigns,Besides, you may be up to 5or 6 NWA World Title reigns before you are done wrestling." He smiled and I got a polaroid picture with AJ and myself with the NWA World Title Belt around my left shoulder between the 2 of us. I left the ring knowing that there were at least 100 more fans waiting to see AJ Styles and Abyss.
This was an excellent autograph show and a great experience to see two of the best wrestlers from TNA-NWA. I want to thank Bud Carson for putting on a great show and I would highly recommend that if you get a chance to see AJ Styles and/or Abyss, Go see them. They are class acts. Thank you AJ Styles and Abyss and thank you, Georgiann, for putting my e-mail on your website.
