He was at fest recently and I did miss it....wouldn't mind another shot to meet him

I'd like to see him at Fanfest again since he has had a ton of new merchandise since then. I would like to see him done like roddy piper was this past year in atlanta where you can purchase as many additional autigraphs as you want for $20 apiece.

not to crush anyone's hopes, and i could be totally wrong, but the vendors that brought him in a few years ago, i dont think he wound up doing the business they were hoping for...and he supposedly carries a very high fee...not to mention he has since done some signings at the tna fanfests (and some of the bigger spenders have finished with him)...i doubt youd see him at fanfest again...

I would love to find out how much it cost to bring in certain wrestlers?  I've always been curious.  Today, I saw that John Morrison charges $5000/appearance.  I wonder if this is standard fee?

When you get everything Greg gives you for under 200.00 it is tough to justify 100.00 on a single talent  and that is where the problem lies.  
 
You are not wrong by any means. He does have a main event fee. We did what we had to do to make the appearance work. Did we lose? No.. BUT it wasn't what we hoped for..   Sting in full gimmick is very rare. I can count on one hand the amount he has done these. once in an auto show in Kentucky and 2 for us.
 
The appeal is over.   the big spenders who make the signings survive have already got him. I guess the moral of the story is.. If you see a talent you want you need to make it a point to get them because you don't know if there will be a chance again.

Do you ever watch any of those religious shows on TV in the early morning hours.
 
Its all about the money! Send us 1000.00 to be saved  send us 5000.00 to reserve your place in heaven.
 
Remember the 10% tiding  the church wants you to give.
 
At the end of the day wrestling is his job. He doesn't owe anyone anything! He has is fee for appearances established. You are right  he is "ballin by now". So he has no need to do these.

nevermind, u obviously missed my point. the religious shows on TV are a farce (for the most part).  
 
& no, i dont remember the '10% tiding'.  
 
& from the way i see it, he owes us fans plenty. i mean, afterall....we ARE the reason hes ballin by now. soooo if he wanted to give back to the fans, then he has plenty need to do these.  

i've heard plenty wrestlers say 'without u fans, i wouldnt be here' or 'i woulda never gotten where i am today without the fans'.....this is what im referring to.

I've heard the same things many times. And I don't doubt their sincerity. But being appreciative and grateful doesn't translate into what you're expecting from your original post. Again, just my opinion and observation.

I would say Hogan is the last of the biggies for conventions , Warrior not so much. But guys ... once Hogan does the rounds there is NO ONE left to pull out of the hat. Flair was everywhere when he left WWE and now he is free with purchase of a TNA program at house shows. I saw a Jeff Hardy signing where you had to buy a bunch of crap to get to the level of geteting a photo opp for like $80.00 drop real quick to $20.00 for pic or auto cause' he is not at that level.

no, thats not what im saying at all. i understand its their job....& im not saying they should do it for free. my issue is with the FORTUNE sting charges. i mean, every wrestler doesnt charge what he does (thankfully). IMO, its really not necessary for ANYONE to charge THAT much. at the end of the day, he IS still a human.....just like the rest of us.
