Hello Friends,
 
As a wrestling fan, I have attended multiple wrestling conventions: some on the east coast, some on the west coast, and some down south.  Each convention has its own flavor and has things that set it apart from others.
 
One convention that I have attended allows fans to do video ops/promos with the favorite wrestler(s).  Essentially, for a fee of $30-50 (depending on the talent booked), you can create your own skit/promo, give the wrestler a few talking points, and then let them work their magic.  At the end, a member of their staff gives you a sD card with a memory to last a lifetime.  I can honestly say, that I cherish these video ops, because never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I'd get the opportunity to do promos with people like Vader, Mick Foley, and Kevin Sullivan.  I've also done video ops with a few others,  but here are some that I've uploaded to Youtube:

Mick Foley

Kevin Sullivan

The questions that I have are this:
 
How much interest would there be if Greg were to set up something similar for NWA Fanfest?
How much would you be willing to pay?
What wrestlers would you like to participate?
 
Finally, I plan to upload the rest of my video ops soon to share with others.  If you have also done these video ops, I think you should upload yours as well.  Provide a link so that we all can see what a great concept this is!
 
 
 
 

Depending on who was offered, I'd be interested.  As for the wait, I'm good with that too

Absofreakinlutely I'd be interested.  I'm by no means social or creative, but given enough time to think about it, I'm sure I could think of something for one of my favorites to talk about.  I mean, to have Vader or Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack or Mankind), or any other well known wrestlers do a promo on whatever you want would be incredible.
 
I'd probably pay up to $50 for something like that.  And if it was a bigger name, I'd PROBABLY pay more.  To Greg, yes, I would be willing to wait on the promos until after the weekend, or even have them mailed.  It wouldn't matter to me, as long as I got them at some point.

Piper is awesome!
He is so funny; you never know what he is going to say.......and this video op is proof.

I think this is a great idea, although I could never cut a promo the likes of Nate the Great. Mine would be more in line with Daniel the Spaniel I believe. I'm not fond of a $50 price tag, but if it was in the $25-30 range I'd go for it.

DoubleGoozle,
Who would you like to cut a promo with?

and thats why greg price is awsome

Besides the obvious, Nate the Great, I would have to go with The Koloffs or Dusty Rhodes.

While I can understand how some people would jump at such an opportunity, even my ego isn't so big that I need to see myself cutting a promo with anyone! LOL

Greg, that's exactly what I was thinking.  Don't try to be an '80's wrestler making a promo against an opponent before Wrestlemania, just be yourself, ask honest questions, and have a video you can cherish forever.
 
That being said, I have to elaborate on my last post about this.  When I said I would be interested, I mean I'd be interested in wel-known names to the public.  Some names I've seen on here, I've never heard of.  And some names I've never heard of, or think are low card people, some people on here are HUGE fans of them, or think of them as their favorites, and really want to meet them.
 
So yeah, only if it's really well known names to me would I do it.  And I would do it enthusiastically.  I really hope this happens.  Especially if I end up going.
 
Can you imagine doing a promo with Mean Gene?

I won't know if I'm coming for a few months, after most of the guests are announced.  But if I'm there, and I will let you know in a few months, I can confidently say I'm completely interested.  I really hope everyone else gets on board, because I think it's a fantastic idea.

It's not an ego thing any more that a photo opp or autograph is for some. It's simply another way for fans to interact and create a lasting memory of their time with a legend.

Not something I'd be into but who am I to subtract from someone else's good time...so I say go for it!
