With photo’s…
I'll admit that I went into this signing with a pessimistic outlook, the costs of certain things and the supposed reputation of the Ultimate Warrior.
But I must say that all of the autographs I got today went really smoothly and I was very impressed. I was especially impressed with Ultimate Warrior and how he handled his autograph session. He was on time, he was very social and he made time for everyone that came up to him to chat. I got to chat with him for a couple of minutes and left very happy. For a man who supposedly "self-destructed" I didn't see one piece of evidence to back that claim.
I also met the Iron Sheik and he was very nice and posed for photos with everyone. I managed to meet him right before the incident with Warrior and that itself was a scary moment because Sheik threw his coat down and called Warrior out for a fist fight. Warrior just stared as Sheik dropped a lot of F-bombs, it was broken up fairly quickly but I guess that's the world of pro wrestling in the fact that anything can happen.
Bruno Sammartino was very social and he signed and posed for all of his fans. The line for Hulk Hogan wasn't that long by the time I got up to him. I was greeted by Jimmy Hart who is always cool to talk to and finally got to meet the Hulkster and chatted with him for a minute, got my picture signed and posed for a photo and decided to find the nearest White Castle before another battle royal started.
Overall it was a very well run autograph signing and if anyone who reads this has the chance to meet any of these legends I highly recommend it.

If anyone was lucky enough to get a picture of Warrior and Bruno together, I would love for you to email me a copy for my personal collection on Bruno

I also heard that Iron Sheik slapping Eric Simms should be on You Tube soon....
