Hey Georgie,
We recently went to a wwe house show in Chattanooga Tn.
Paul London and Super Crazy came to sign autographs up the the gate to sign autographs and even took pictures with the fans Paul London even went up to the light for people who didn't have flashes on their camera.
Well that was great.
Later on Maria and Mickie James came up there to sign autographs .
Mickie signed about 20 autographs and a man came and told her to get inside. Maria signed maybe 3 and that same guy came and got her. WWE kills me when they do this. We pay hundreds some Thousands of dollars on WWE. If we didn't We would be millionaires instead of them.
TNA was very friendly at the Atlanta Bound for Glory fan Interaction. You pay about $60 bucks and meet nearly the whole roster and get autographs and you don't have to worry about them saying no.
Thanks,
Kevin Tankersley of Dalton, GA

Hi Georgie,
I've been reading some of the emails you have been posting about the WWE and their attitude towards their fans. This is not something new. It has been building over the past few years.
Plain and simple, the WWE is a business and the bottom line is the almighty dollar. As long as you are putting money is Vince's pocket, do you think he give's a rat's ass about how you are treated?
I stopped going to WWE events, autograph signings, etc. a long time ago. I stopped watching WWE programming a few years back as well. They have no competition (at the moment, no matter how much people want it to be, TNA is not their competition). As long as they have no competition it doesn't matter how bad of a product they put out there or how they treat their fans. Why? Because 95% of those fans are going to watch the show next week and show up at the next autograph event or appearance.
Until the fans stop watching and stop spending their time and money, nothing is going to change. Until Vince feels the dent in his pocket, this kind of WWE attitude (pun intended) will continue. Believe it or not, there are alternatives to WWE.
Instead of wasting my time, money and effort in attending WWE events (or even other promoters who bring in WWE talent) or plugging them on my website, I will spend my time and webspace to plug truly fan friendly events like Greg Price's NWA Legends Convention, TNA star appearances, etc.
The fans can complain all they want but, as long as they continue to support Vince and his product, the lack of fan friendliness will continue. There is no one to blame but themselves.
