So which LOW stars have you seen in the flesh?
I have seen The Mountie, Curt Hennig, Larry Hennig, Jim Duggan, Ted DiBiase and the Road Warriors.
I could have seen Steve Corino, as he was in town recently, but the tickets were too expensive!

Forgot Johnny Valiant and the Destroyer, duh. Virgil I never even talked to when he was at the Con. I didn't want to pay $20 for an autograph.  |

In legends? Virgil and Johnny Valiant.
Others.
Ole Anderson
Tommy Rich
just about anyone and everyone that was in Georgia Championship Wrestling when they came on tour to Columbus, Ohio. 90 % would go to the Hyatt lounge after the matches and sign autographs or just unwind.
The heels were always the nicer guys especially Ole Anderson ( hellofa guy ) and the faces were pretty much premadonna pricks in real life. Tommy Rich was a total jackass in the late 70's and early 80's.

Thank you for your responses, gentlemen. I take it that many of you have obviously been to a lot of wrestling events. I've only ever been to one and that was WWF Summerslam 1992.

I've seen a few of them, as far as meeting them, I did get the chance to have a five minute conversation with Chris Candido when he was in the WWF. He was really nice and down to earth. I would also like to point out that I got to meet Owen Hart that day and would love to see him in Legends some day.

When I was very young, my family won an all expenses paid trip to Orland for the Royal Rumble. I forget what year, but it was the year that HBK and The Britsh Bulldog were the first two in and the last two to remain and HBK won. Anyway, we got to stay in the same hotel as the wrestlers, so of course my grandparents and I were in the lobby about all night long. I don't even remember what the room we stayed in looked like. It was a wonderful experience, and I met alot of people and got a lot of autographs. Here's the few I can remember: Owen hart Bret Hart (Bret walked into the lobby with his family just as Owen was signing in. They were feuding and I remember Owen kept giving Bret dirty looks. awesome) Gorilla Monsoon Captain Lou (About 3 different times) Jerry Lawler (we were eating in the same restaurant, and he could tell I was gawking, so he invited me over to the table real quick to sign an autograph. once again, awesome) Razor Ramon (He was in a bar, ironic. He called me over and had me sit at the bar with him. I guess I was a cute kid.) Shawn Michaels Davey Boy Smith Paul Bearer (without his makeup, I wasn't sure who he was until he got out of the Undertaker's custom painted van. Of course, The Undertaker himself was hiding in the back of the van. My grandparents told me that he kept trying to peek out the window, but I didn't see him. Too short, probably.) Bob Holly 1-2-3 Kid It was amazing. I'll never forget just how professional and welcoming they all were. I try to model myself after them on the extremely rare occassion a fan comes up to me. And I just noticed that this was supposed to be about LOW signed wrestlers whom we've met, which I don't think applies to any of these people. Sorry.  |

Although I have seen lots of LOW wrestlers such as the Road Warriors, Midnight Express, Ivan Koloff, Dream Team, King Kong Bundy, Buddy Rose, Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, S.D. Jones, Ted DiBiase, and Rick Rude wrestle live, I actually haven't met any of them or gotten any of their autographs.
But that will most likely change this summer when the CAC has its convention here in Las Vegas as many LOW wrestlers will be in attendance. In addition to Steve Williams and Butcher Vachon (and JJ Dillon although his LOW card hasn't been released yet), other LOW wrestlers who regularly attend the CAC's convention here include Nick Bockwinkel, The Destroyer, Mad Dog Vachon, Red Bastien, Don Leo Jonathan, Danny Hodge, and Harley Race.
I think the only wrestlers I have actually talked to for awhile and personally received their autographs are Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty and that was back in the late 1980s when they were together as The Rockers.
