I understand the rude ones. I’m an emotionally intense guy. If I’m having a bad day I won’t talk to you. I’ll tell you straight to your face. Some of these wrestlers are emotionally intense too. It sounds like if Scott Steiner is in a bad mood look out.
Dont know if you ever met brett hart je cool too.kept asking .e his favorite match be kept sayin he loved mr perfect. And asked me if wanted more 8 by 10 photo's..but brett sorto was bitter too alot of his felow collugges so i think he likes fans more brett is great 👍
If your paying st signing and eaiting in line they shlukd be nice snd respect ful..now in lubmic or in airports or randomly in pubmic they really dont hsvebtoo sign anything..mine bgg were alway alright ron simmons is very cool
Not surprised about Honky Tonk Man, I know several people who have had bad experiences meeting him, funny he and Lawler would make this list, considering they're cousins, I myself have never had a bad experience meeting a wrestler, but once Sid Vicious wouldn't sign a picture for me, but it was because kayfabe was still strong, and he was a heel, and he said there were too many people around, it was after a show.
I’ve also gotten noticed by Lyra Valkyria several times on social media. If I met Lyra Valkyria in person, that would be amazing. I’ve heard that she’s one of the nicest WWE Wrestlers ever. Lyra even took the time to wish me Happy Birthday a few months ago. Lyra is now on the main roster now as a part of Monday Night Raw, and she’s doing an amazing job.
I always had good experiences meeting Scott Steiner, but maybe that’s because I was dressed as Rick a lot of the time. However, someone pointed out that when I took a video with Ron Simmons, dressed as Jerry Lawler, Scott was in the video, and a friend who watched it said he noticed that Scott looked unhappy about being in the video, perhaps since he wasn’t making any money from it. That being said, Greg Valentine gave me the worst experience I ever had. Like you said about Scott Steiner, Greg just seemed like he didn’t want to be there. No pizzazz, barely said anything, and he was like that both times I met him. I gave him a second chance just in case the first time was a fluke, but nope - he was like that both times. The second time I met Virgil, I started seeing why the lonely Virgil meme existed. He just kept trying to talk me into buying more and more items. The first time it was a good experience, and people have said he acted better when Ted Dibiase was there, which he was there the first time. That being said, Honky Tonk Man was a pretty good experience, or he at least saved the second experience with Greg Valentine. Tito Santana was another one that was disappointing. He seemed like he was hung up about money, which was a turnoff, since we expect to pay for autographs. Then when I complimented Tito on his figure 4, saying he did the best figure 4 I ever saw, Tito didn’t show was gratitude. He just gave a monotone, “Well, thank you.” Bob Orton saved the moment by saying, “I can attest to that!” Bob Orton ended up being the more outgoing of the two, which I was not expecting.
Wrestlers i met, and short description 1.Tracy Smothers- great man, very friendly, may he rest in peace 2.Kevin Thorn- very nice, very shy 3.Dimond Dallas Page- he is exactly the man you think he is, awsome 4.Tommy Dreamer- had jetlag real bad, but was awsome all the same, even let me get a photo with him before he left for free 5.Ric Flair- very, very chill, he was nice to me, we talked a good 20 min on what if Magnum T.A didnt get into the wreck 6.Booker T- awsome dude, very friendly, made me the wcw champion👍
Perspective on all this, You are important to YOU only! You mean nothing to these wrestlers, nothing personal intended. It is a job to them, they are promoting the business they are in only! They perform or sign autographs and take pictures, get paid per their contract, or appearance fee, that is it. To you, you are important and unique. But to them you look the same as thousands of others they have met under similar circumstances. On paying to see them or for a picture or certain number of autographs, I am old school where that is concerned, if I want a picture or an autograph, I walk up and ask. If I am told I have to pay I walk away. Don't pay if you are expecting pleasantries, conversation, smiles, exciting facial expressions, sense of humor, witty or intelligent comments, again, you are just another routine person or mark to them. They sign, smile maybe halfway or fake, they every so often pause to look at their watch or the clock to see what time it is, in other words, how much time is left they have to be there. Assembly line, folks. If you critique this in any other manner or your expectations are higher, just because you paid a fee, you are a fool. They also don't have the time to spend making you and the other many who pay to see them feel as special as you think. Here is some extra free advice, spend time instead taking pictures with those you love and those who love you. They definitely mean much more and should without any doubt.
Well I have a scary one for you while I lived in Los Angeles now in New York City I went to the Los Angeles sports arena to see a WWF wrestling event I had a few items with me to get autographed after the event in these dandy most of the wrestlers drove themselves to events unless you was a giant star like hulk hogan so in the day I got to the arena early and met hulk hogan( a very nice guy back in the day he signed for free ) , luke the bushwhacker , I had seen Sgt slaughter ( he did not sign he ignored you ) , the warlord ( had a girl on each arm and he ignored you ) , the iron sheik ( ignored you ) , so that was it early in the day but this one was scary at the end of the event I was walking back to my car and I seen TERRY FUNK so I walked up to him he was driving himself in a red pick up truck he was the driver I walked and said. Mr. Funk may I please have your autograph I am a huge fan of yours it would mean the world to me if you can sign for me ( he looked at me like he wanted to hit me with the branding iron he walked out of the area with he was in full Terry funk gear chaps , hat , branding iron , he told me son my finger is broken look and he wiggled his finger to show me it was not broken and he said you better get out of my face Right now ) I was shocked at first puzzled but that was his way of saying no autograph and get lost it was a really terrifying ordeal this guy looked like he wanted to kill me to be honest I was glad he died and was happy when I head the news good riddance to bad rubbish I say this is why he is no longer on the planet lol lol and this happened in the early 80’s what a piece of shit he was lol lol 😂-- Anthony ( New York City )
What people need to take into account was how many days have they been on the road working and go into a restaurant you may get bad service and what they hear all day you don't think they hear rude stuff from fans but they don't see wrestlers as people they want the character not the real person Scott may have stayed in character he is bad guy , so he is suppose to be and Scott may have been forced to be there he could've been on the road for months with no days off and they get burn out like any worker remember it's their job you ever have a bad day at work
I met Rick Steiner he signed horribly bad but I didnt even get a photo I paid for but w.e.. we talked football for awhile he was ok besides how he signs.
Paul Roma was the only rude 1 I met. The others were cool I met. I met Sgt. Slaughter, Rick Steiner, Jimmy Hart, Lex Luger, , Ron Simmons, DDP, Wrath and Mortus they were cool but Paul Roma was a TOOL begging for money and I am glad I never paid him a penny.. Jimmy Hart and Lex Luger were the nicest of all. I feel bad I didn't even want to speak with Ron Simmons. He tried to talk with me and I blew him off and didn't want his auto. He asked me if I could take a few photos for him with some fans I did do that for him for free maybe he should have given me a free auto for doing that for him though?.
I met The Late Howard Finkel and I don't want to speak Ill of the dead but he was a major jerk to me. Others I have met have been Bret Hart who was cool, Ricky Steamboat who was Awesome and Ted DiBiase who was Awesome
I never had your level of top bad experiences, but the closest one I would declare rude is Sabu, I had a picture taken with him (a polaroid picture) and when he signed on the bottom space, he mentioned about how the ink can ruin the photo, just the tone he was saying it in, but one of my others I would put at the bottom of a pleasant meeting would be Bret Hart, I got a photo-op picture with Bret and shook his hand and said nice to meet, and when said you too, he sounded sarcastic, but both were still an honor to meet, I had opportunities to meet Lawler, but never tried to, we just happened to work the same shows and I was the camera guy for those shows, I was just there for business, film the shows, take down the ring and go home, I didn't do it to meet the famous wrestlers (now I made some exceptions, like Road Dogg, Goldust and DH Smith, fun story, I filmed DH's match, after the show was over, while I helped take down the ring, DH asked if he could watch his match, I let him watch it on my camera)
You couldn't pay me to get a picture with Honky Tonk Man or Zeus, two carnies who thought they were a bigger deal in a scripted sport than they actually were.
I met Jerry a second time just to be sure he was pretty bad the first time. Both times he talked like a robot spitting out generic answers designed to stifle conversation. Just wanted to move us along even if no one was in line. Others that were pretty bad: Rikishi, Dibiase, JR, Steamboat, Nash w/Hall and Bischoff, Lita, Billy Gunn, it was more the norm than the exception. Nash was great on his own but I think he said he was drunk on wine. Abyss, Chavo, Shane Douglas, Hall, Dustin, Hacksaw, Tessmacher, Cornette, Warrior, and Bret were all classy. Steiner was just kinda there to move everyone along. There were some neutral experiences too. But there was enough bad ones that I ended up opting not to meet people like Ron Simmons and Mean Gene. Didn't want to risk losing money.
Now I met Chris Jericho & he was super nice and friendly to meet we talked about 5 minutes loved meeting him.Met SGT Slaughter at my high school and signed my book was very nice.Mick Foley goes out of his way for his fans.I met him 4 times loved all 4 times.He even talked to my mom on my cellphone coming home from the Royal Rumble at a gas station.
Theyve signed a lot of stuff for people. Also have you ever thought about how it is you came off to them? I've seen a lot of people that were rude and felt like celebrities owed them and that they could say whatever they want to the person just because they're famous. I'm not sure why anyone would want to Pay to meet someone else anyways. You're a loser if you do that.
I'm mad when I met John Morrison paid 20 bucks for an autograph we got there toward the end he signed my buddies book with a lots to say on it then mine just John M not even his full name for 20 bucks what a rip off
I worked security in south TX where Booker T had his ROW school, he was actually really nice, he was riding around in a hoverboard just talking to everyone and taking pictures. Only wrestler I have ever met.
Met Braun Strowman at an indie event i was late coming in he already packed up his booth but he stopped as he was going to go get dressed for the show and took a picture with me and said it was on the house hes one of the nicest guys ive met
