Thanks Mike…..
As many times as I have been fortunate enough to attend autograph signings, it still never ceases to amaze me the physical stature of the talent that World Wrestling Entertainment employs. Certainly, one in a league of his own is the World Heavyweight Champion, Batista. This past friday evening, I was fortunate enough for the 2nd time to meet Batista, along with newly drafted Smackdown diva Candice Michelle.
Taking place in Massapequa, Long Island at New York Sports Works in the Sunrise Mall, Batista and Candice arrived on time, and to a major league reaction. Batista was in his "summer mode" attire, with the muscles and trademark artwork showing rather predominantly to the delight of all the females in the crowd. Candice looked absolutely ravishing in her blue top and black pants. It's almost scary the reaction that da champ got when the crowd was able to feast their collective eyes on the specimen, the freak of nature, to use Jim Ross's own words.
I have attended many different signings with upwards of 20 to 30 talents, and each of them, with no exceptions, have been nothing short of professional toward my three young children, my wife, and I. This was, of course, no different. Da champ spoke briefly with my family, with my wife even going so far as to cheerfully 'demand' a full blown ass kicking on JBL this sunday night in Washington at Summerslam. I shook the champ's hand, told him I was happy to see him again as he signed my World Tag Team championship replica belt. I spoke briefly with Candice as we headed out of the very crowded, highly animated area where the talent were signing.
I know I sound like a broken record when I say this, but it's true to the letter. Take the time to meet the talent of WWE. They are all fully aware of the factor that the fans play in their product, and take the extra effort to show geneorsity and compassion toward their consumers. I would strongly suggest that anyone who has the opportunity take it. I guarantee you an experience that will be enjoyable, to the last.
In closing, a thank you to Alex, Mike and the boys, once again, from New York Sports Works. Check out their site at www.newyorksportsworksinc.com. I know of a few more signings coming in September, and I can guarantee you it's going to be a rockin' time in Massapequa at Westfield Sunrise Mall.
Drop me a line, if you'd like, at [email protected]. Till next time, in September, for Rey Mysterio, I'll see ya later.
