I won't count my friend because he only competed in a local fed. I've seen Kevin Nash several times where I work but haven't talked to him. Other than that, I talked with Lance Storm on his site and in emails, but that's the closest for me.

I met Harley Race at Wal-Mart (Washington, Missouri) of all places. Got an autograph, he was really a great guy. I've met dozens of indy wrestlers during after show meet and greets, most of them with names no one has ever heard (and I can't remember...except for this guy named the Lumberjack) of in a fed called CMWA (Central Missouri Wrestling Assocation) I think, They are out of business now I believe, but I'm not sure.

I met Jimmy Snuka twice. The first time I was 12 and played against his son's team in midget football. Up until that point I really thought he lived on the Isle of Fiji.
Me and a friend met him in a bar 10 years later. He was alone and blew us off (politely) when we first started talking to him, but we brought up the story about the first time we met and ended up talking football (local and pro) for about 20 minutes. He was a really good guy, but it was obvious he didn't want to talk about wrestling.

I was at the airport in Louisville on my way to my honeymoon in New Orleans. I was actually buying a wrestling magazine at a stand when the guy said you know the Big Show, he's right over there. I went over and got a pic with him (still in my living room). Felt bad afterwards, because that was when he was being sent down to OVW that week, so he probably wasn't happy to be there.
I met Bundy (and Snuka and Albano were with him), but this was before the first Legends game came out. I had my Bundy card and he lit up when he saw it! He only spoke highly of Tom. This actually got him to chat for a few minutes.
I met a bunch of WWE/WCW guys at Coyote's in Louisville around 97. Bradshaw was still part of the Blackjacks. We all sat with him WIndham, Scotty Riggs and Dustin Rhodes. Bradshaw actually left us tickets for a show in Lexington the next night.
My last story. I'm a pretty decent sized guy. 6-2 245. We'd always go to USWA/Memphis events in Louisville every Tuesday night. I was always told i looked like Brian Christopher. I had people, espcially all the ring rats, always coming up to me asking. The girls would take pics with me. My friends always got a kick out of it.
We also went to the live Memphis show a few times, around 94-95. If anyone got to watch it, it was a small studio show with a about 50 people there. They would always think I was there to do a run in, kids would always ask for my autograph. Fun stuff.
And, The Destroyer last year at Galacticon.
Sorry for so long of a post.

I met Jerry Lynn back in the ECW days. I was in high school and was working at Toys R Us here in MN. He came in looking for a specific game that we didn't have and I am pretty sure I made a fool of myself cuz I was a huge fan ( still am) and I was in high school and didn't know what to say except something like "Are you by chance Jerry Lynn?". He was cordial but seemed kinda grumpy.
I have also met Ted Dibiase who is very nice
Buff Bagwell - very nice
Rick Steiner - very nice
Hacksaw Jim Duggan - the most nice "celeb" I have ever met. He was posing with anyone that asked with the 2x4 and everything. Great guy.
Greg Valentine - nice but like Lynn seems kinda grumpy
Disco Inferno - nice
I would have met a few more at a local event that had AJ Styles, Jarrett, CM Punk, Austin Aries, Shawn (Khosrow) Daivari pre WWE, Crash Holly post WWE, and Lenny Lane but I couldn't find the place and ended up missing the meet and greet before the event. The cool thing was that I forked up the extra dough to get my girlfriend and I seats at a table in the front row ringside and Jarrett threw AJ Styles onto our table right in front of us. My girlfriend loved it. She still brags about it to people even though she is not a wrestling fan.

I've met some.......
The best story is that I dated 911 (of ECW fame)daughter for 2 1/2 years!!!!!!!! I stayed in his home on holidays. The man was huge!!!!! 6-5 370 lbs. Many wrestlers came over all the time... (in NJ) marty jannetty, bam bam, sabu, raven(who is a really cool dude). We also hung out with rocco rock of public enemy, cause her dad and teddy(rocco's real name) owned a few small companies together. He lived in a massive house with a wrestling ring in the back!!!!!!!!!! He also ran a wrestling school out there. Super nice guy, but very scary when your dating his daughter!!!!!
But we had some good times, hell even drove him around in my car when he visited Ohio. Which was quite a sight, (this huge dude in my little 1990 firebird) I had 2 take the t-tops off so he could get in!!!!!
But the girl moved back to NJ 2 work for her dad and we broke up, cause we didnt want a long distance relationship. Hey but shes moving back later this year so u never know!!!!!!! maybe I'll get that match against her dad in the ring after all!!!
tkx everyone
