sorry guys.
here are some thoughts from the day one and day two.
Eadie's Q and A was great, Enjoyed his stories and he kept it going.
The Mansfield and Schultz Q and A I didn't like as much because of Mansfield. I understand you were blackballed in the industry. OK you don't need to repeat yourself 5 times to say it. You don't like Ole. OK you don't have to say that god has a way of getting even. We are all imperfect and I hate to say he is right but he is. I hope and pray that one day that mr mansfield never has to live his life from a wheelchair with MS.
As much as I disliked Mansfield I liked Schultz. He gave his opinon and took no prisoners. He seemed like a no nonsense kind of guy (imagine that). Had a Photo op with Schultz and he was really nice then. Mansfield did redeem himself to me in the autograph stage a little by talking about some of the legends that had signed my encylopedia the way he did. All in all we all have good and bad.
I looked forward to the Hansen Q and A the most. Hansen answered the most questions, but didn't really get to deep into it just saying that the guys we asked about were nice guys and great workers. He didn't want to talk about brody's death which is completly understandable. I asked him about Dr Death and he said in on of the times when he gave us a little more that he had some Voice mails from Steve that he refused to get rid of on his phone, just to keep a little bit of him around.
Day 2 was busy for Devona and I. I started off with a Ron Simmons photo op. Mr Simmons was a gentlema nand very nice to Devona and myself when he met him later as well. Devona and I have decided that Ron has a very distinctive voice and that he is a great guy. Ron even got a laugh out of me calling my best friend and rolling him out of bed to let him know that Ron had just won the WCW World title. Next was The Iron Sheik photo op, which was really cool. Follow Sheik on twitter and he was nothing but polite and he asked me where I wanted him to sign the encylopedia and the belt. I told him he could sign whereever he liked, he was the Iron Sheik. He smiled at that and signed the encyopedia WWE Hall of famer. The next autograph we got was Perry Saturn, who has added some facial tattoos since I saw him last. He was nice to Devona and I and very accomdating. Maria was very nice and very pretty. Television does not do her justice, she is prettier she looked on TV. While I did my Dr. D photo op Devona got the Encylopedia signed by Jimmy Hart and Jim Neidhart, Jimmy was very accomdating and a good guy. Neidhart was not what I was expecting. I was expecting the Anvil and got Nattie's dad. He was very nice and shook hands with everyone that came by. Luke Williams signed the book next. Much calmer than I expected, Was great to hear that accent and see him and he was great as everyone else we met was, just a great person. We went outside and got the photo of a lifetime with Harley Race and the Iron Sheik. It was really cool to sit there and watch them talk. next was Luke Gallows, Paul Bearer, Terry Taylor and Larry Zybsko. Told Luke I hated the Festus gimmick but liked Gallows and was really getting into what he was doing and he was future endeevored. Paul was a great guy and just talked to everyoe who came by, Terry was a great guy and even gave Devona a hug after he signed the encylopedia. Zybsko was gracious and signed the book. We ate really quick and ran into another twitter friend and board alumnus Jeff P. Devona was afraid of missing Matt Morgan and told me that if I didn't get it in gear and she missed the blueprint I wasn't going to live to eat dinner with Hansen. She got to meet Matt, more than once and I will say nothing but good things about him. After meeting and talking to him for a while he will be yet another reason why I will watch TNA because he is a great guy and not at all stuck up. Right before hall of heroes we ran into him and he made Desmmothly. great by saying she looked pretty (she looked great. Lucky she was my date). Next was Devona in the pit with Piper. She said that she got nervous right before she sat down with him but he was a great guy. He hugged her and told her she was preciouand perfect. Piper was big for Devona and this meant a lot to her. If you went last year the autograph stage was rough but Greg has turned that around 180 degrees, Both autograph stages were ran well and went smoothly. Devona ran into Snuka outside and he said he was very proud of Tamina and he was looking forward to seeing her do more on TV. Next was the Dog Collar photo op which was really neat. I got to hold the belt that they fought over and Piper and Valentine had the dog collar on. I had two more Photo ops after that. Hennan and Bockwinkel, Hansen, Bockwinkell and Zybsko with the AWA Wirld Title that Bockwinkell and Hansen held. We went upstairs and took a nap before hall of heroes. We sat with Hansen and for me it was great. Hall of Heroes was awesome. I was impressed by how well DDP spoke and he told some great stories about Humperdink. Hearing Tony Atlas give the amens while T Bolt was inducting Ted Turner was great. Piper did not disappoint when he inducted Gordon. I know I am missing a lot but that is a thumbnail of what happened for the past few days through my eyes and keyboard. I will try to post after rowdy friends tonight but I somehow think that wont happen.
Wish everyone was here.
James and Devona
