It's really interesting that all the ones who stood out to you are in TNA and the one who you thought was terrible is the person who just left TNA and went to WWE.
I'm sorry that just cracked me up was all.
I met Angle after he joined TNA at the first event in WestBury NY, TNA's first event in NY.. Hardys when they were in WWE, AJ Styles at the first TNA event in NY, in Westbury.. Same event I met James Storm, guy was great he was drinking beer with fans during the event just talking about anything me and a few friends went up to him and were talking to him. TNA Wrestlers are very accessible during live events, thats why they stand out..
I was a huge fan of the hardys when I was younger, I think I was 10 when I met them, maybe 9, and me and my brother I can only imagine how obnoxious we were and they were really nice and answered questions for like 4 minutes when there was a hugeee line behind us. Ill always remember that. I said I wanted to become a wrestler and Matt said "Go for your dream, you'll never know what you can accomplish with hard work"... That was after 4 minutes of probably the most obnoxious questions they ever received.
I also met Triple H, in 2002, and he was all business, just signed the autograph and then we had to move on.
Kharma was a complete *****, after the event I went to I asked for an autograph, she looked at me, and then just marched into the backstage ignoring all the fans. I walked up to Angle, 50000x times the star Kong will ever be and he signed an autograph and allowed me to hold the TNA championship, right after that he went into the ring and then TNA charged $20 for an autograph and a pic with Angle, and if you asked he'd let you hold the title. Imagine WWE ever doing that? You go to a WWE event and when its over its over, TNA sends out performers to sign autographs, and all of them (besides Kong) are great with the fans. Styles was completely mobbed when he came out to sign autographs, him and Samoa Joe had an insanely good match that night so I didn't speak to him for longer than a minute but he just seemed so appreciative of the love he gets from the fans.
For example, James Storm as I said literally came out after his match drinking a beer and just started chatting with fans, you could walkup to him and he was insanely nice. I'd love to meet Shawn Michaels, but i'd probably be in awe of seeing my childhood idol that I wouldn't be able to find any logical words to say lol
..... Article I sent into PWinsider following the event...
http://tinyurl.com/r2aarticle (tinyurl'd it so it doesn't get indexed into google since my real name is on the article and don't want that associated with Romo 2 Austin when googled).. I'll copy and paste the article, which shouldn't be a problem since I wrote it for the people that don't trust tinyurl lol....
Some quick notes on last night's TNA show in Long Island, NY:
Eric Young took Earl Hebner's referee top, and had Earl and James Storm fight. Then James took it off Eric after around 7 minutes, and then James and Eric started fighting.
The TNA stars giving free autographs after the show for were AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Gail Kim, James Storm, The Motor City Machine Guns, Brother Devon, Eric Young, LAX, Sonjay Dutt.
Throughout the night there were a few ECW chants, obviously when Team 3D where in the ring. The crowd was extremely hot, in all the matches, the least active was the Joe vs. Styles match, but that was right after the intermission.
The crowd was most behind Team 3D, Gail Kim, Christian Cage, Eric Young, Samoa Joe.
Kurt Angle had 30% of the fans and Christian had 70%. There dueling chants for Instant Classic, then Angle, Instant Classic, then Angle.
AJ Styles had around 25% of fan support while and Samoa Joe had 75% during their bout.
You could get into the six-sided ring with Kurt Angle for $20 Dollars, and then they ran out of Polaroids & autographs so it was then 10 dollars to get in the ring if you had a camera or not, and you could hold the title if you asked, which I did, and shake Angle's hand.
