I had a good time yesterday at my second LOTR. It was great seeing all the regulars from the forums like wewantflair, Lanza, Joeystylesfan, Class, etc (don't wanna forget anybody). I will jump right in with talent breakdowns.

Block 1


Mean Gean Okerlund-
Totally hammered but really cool. Signed my two items and wanted to sign more, when he found out I had no more he signed my binder cover. Was one of my top wants from the superticket and I wasn't disappointed.

Howard Finkel-
Really cool guy. I always heard he was extremely friendly and he was. Great meet.

One Man Gang
- Great guy. Made for a cool photo op with the chain and was as friendly as I always heard he was.

Wendi Richter-Wasn't a top want of mine but she was friendly.

General Adnan-Kind of quiet but very polite. Nice guy

The Killer Bees-Very nice and friendly guys. Fun meets

Jake Roberts--He was polite but real quiet. I found him nicer at the Indy show I met him at. No problems with him though.

Block 2


Don Muraco & Mr. Fuji-Both were quiet but made for a nice photo op.

Raven-
Now most people have a complaint about Raven but I found him great. He took interest in the item I had him sign and even asked to see one of my other items I was carrying. He also stood for my photo op. I met him back in his Johnny Polo days and I found him just as nice this time.

Glacier-
Wasn't a big want of mine but very nice guy.

Kevin Sullivan-Despite his awful taste in clothes and sports teams(red sox jersey) he was very nice. One of my bigger wants and did no disappoint.

Rene Goulet-My opinion on him as a replacement aside, he was very friendly.

Young Stallions-Kinda quiet but polite, so no complaints.

Scott Hall-Definitely the shock of the show for me. He was extremely nice and had a nice story to share about my NWO poster. Great guy and one of my top wants despite meeting him already.

Vendors


Ric Flair-
Third time meeting Naitch and just as great as ever. One of the classiest and most gracious celebs I have ever met.

Bob Backlund-Sorry NewAgeOutlaws but I found Mr.Backlund INCREDIBLY friendly. Seems he has changed since you met him. He was awesome

The Powers Of Pain-Very cool guys. Warlord was an ass when I met him like 15 years ago, was much nicer this time.

Buff Bagwell-Quiet but cool guy.

Disco Inferno-I could have sworn that I heard this guy was a dick but I found him real nice.

Big Daddy V-Very nice guy, one of my top vendor wants.

Tully Blanchard-Real nice guy. I finally got my 4H poster complete barring an unlikely trip to Charlotte for me.

Diana Hart-Very, very nice. Looked pretty good too I must say. lol

Pierre-Nice guy, fun meet.

Marty Jannetty-Nice guy as always.

King Kong Bundy-Real cool guy, nice meet.


Added Bonus

Bret Hart- I went to my second Bret book signing in as many days and I was glad I went again. The NJ signing was MUCH more relaxed then the NYC one. I got my RR 93 poster signed and they even allowed a behind the table photo op.

Very fruitful weekend filled with meeting Bret twice, Flair and one of my top celeb wants, LL Cool J. Not to mention a ton of other wrestlers.
