Good Evening, I attended the Big Event in Queens NY today I wanted to pass along a few words and some photos. Thanks DavidI purchased general
admission and Bill Goldberg meet and greet tickets ahead of time so I could
avoid any headaches today. I've mentioned this before if your ever thinking
about attending this event, purchase your tickets online and make sure you
arrive early! This area in Queens is residential, which makes it even harder to
find parking with all the driveways and fire hydrants. I gave myself enough time
this morning and found parking within five minutes.
Once inside I waited for
about forty five minutes until they opened the doors to the event, as soon as I
picked up my tickets to get into the show I went straight to where Bill Goldberg
was signing. I would say there was about twenty people ahead of me which wasn't
that bad. Goldberg arrived shortly after that and greeted the fans while we
waited in the hallway. Once they opened the doors to where Goldberg was signing
he welcomed everyone for coming and asked if anyone had any questions to ask
him, he took about ten minutes answering questions and telling stories before he
even started signing, he was extremely humble and thankfully for all the fans
who came out and showed their support. When I finally got up to him, I told him
it was a pleasure to meet him again, I struck up a conversation with him about
the night he beat Hulk Hogan for the championship in Atlanta. I also mentioned
that it would be great to see him get into the hall of fame one day. In all this
was my second time meeting Bill Goldberg both times he was great with all the
fans including myself, he took the time before today's signing and started to
interact with the fans and make everyone feel welcomed.
After I meet Goldberg it
was onto the main room which is always unorganized and packed. I wanted to meet
Jim Ross and Jerry The King Lawler, I noticed that Northeast Wrestling was the
promotion that was sponsoring the meet and greet, I've dealt with them before
and my good friend Michael runs the promotion. They always run a organized
event. I meet both JR and King fairly quick and told them what a pleasure it was
to finally meet them.
After that I went out into
the hallway looking to meet Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndoff, I finally found him in
the mess of everyone standing around, he was very nice and thanked me for coming
out. Finally I made my way outside to the lobby where The Iron Sheik was
signing, he had a decent size line, when I finally meet him he seemed very
quiet, he shook my hand and said Thank You.
Personally Bill Goldberg
was the highlight of the day. He took his time with everyone who attended the
event. He's a very down to earth guy. If anyone's looking to attend the next
"Big Event" purchase all your tickets online and make sure you give yourself
enough time to find parking.
Thanks David
