Georgie,
Hello, Last night I attended the Ric Flair appearance event at IWC wrestling. WOW, what a show. You had to buy tickets in order to get autographs and a picture with Ric Flair. Let me tell you though it was money well spent.
I personally drove over 3 hours to attend this event and a buddy of mine drove over 3 and a half hours. It was my first time at this site location and my buddies first time ever at a IWC show. I attend night of the legends in Franklin Pa. every year which is put on by IWC. Ric was really cool and it was very well organized. They did the photo ops first then you got into a second line for the autographs. So they did one thing at a time, which is how it should be. When it came time for the autographs, they had Ric behind a curtain at a table so when you got to him, it was only you and Ric. No promoter pushing you through the line saying hurry up, etc. Ric signed autographs very nicely and took his time. He even added inscriptions for free if you asked him. He also took the time to talk to you and Thanked you for coming. I understand the talking, adding inscriptions take longer, but this is how shows/autographs should be ran. I have been to paid signings and couldn't get any pictures plus they sat your item on the table for you, so it was the athlete signed and then your done, no talking. But this was very well organized and Ric was really awesome. I would recommend if you are into wrestling to check www.iwcwrestling.com and see what Norm has to offer. Now I'm not saying this because I am friends with Norm, I personally only have talked to him a few times at the shows, but I'm saying this because the shows are great and they don't dissapoint. Norm, who is the promoter/owner walks around the crowd the whole night, talks to the fans and interacts with everyone. If you have a issue then you talk directly to Norm and not through 10 other people to get to Norm. He doesn't hide behind the curtain, he is out walking around with everyone and talking to everyone.
This is how wrestling events should be and if you are asking yourself, well most of these guys won't be anything, well let me tell you, CM Punk started here as did several others, just check out the website and you won't be dissapointed. Night of the Legends he gets several fomer wrestling legends to come in and it is a great family organized event. Prices are cheap and very affordable for families. Some of the past guests have included Brutus the barber Beefcake, Tito Santana, Honky Tonk Man, Jake the snake Roberts, Powers of Pain, demolition ax and smash greg the hammer valentine, jim the anvil neidhart, jimmy hart, marty jeanetty, sgt. slaughter, mick foley, virgil, king kong bundy, that is only a few of them. But last night meeting Ric Flair topped it off. What a show. I have included a picture of me and Ric to post with this as well.
Secondly, Last night I was amazed at how many people are not aware of wrestlingfigs.com and are huge wrestling fans so I told them to check it out as Georgie, you do an awesome job. Without this website, it would be tough to find wrestling events going on besides WWE.
