- I'd say it was a little of both.

- Nope, I didn't see what Bosh was looking at. He did end up buying something though. I wonder if it starred Jean Claude Van Damme...

- I also saw Ricky Reyes in a mall food court once. Yeah... not much more to that story. But Reyes is another guy I miss seeing in PWG. He just isn't getting his due on the East Coast.

Unless it's BOLA, then the tickets are available online. I'm not a front row kind of guy, I prefer to stand in the back, but even buying general admission tickets online is a good idea. You won't have to stand in the non ticket holder's line and you can get a good seat. . .

Shows are in the LA area, sometimes the Valley, sometimes Orange County. You're usually safe showing up at bell time. You won't miss any action but if you want a "good" seat you should get in line about an hour early.

I've seen him a few times. Angry Fan is not there as often as he used to be and he is not as angry anymore. Although I do remember him still directing his displeasure toward Joey early last year.

Burbank (Bob Hope) Airport, Van Nuys Airport, and LAX. The Burbank armory is literally down the street from the Burbank airport (listen closely and you can hear planes taking off on DVD).

I've never met a mean wrestler. Everyone at PWG has been really nice, especially Chris Hero and Necro Butcher.

Yes the Burbank Armory is where Steen initiated his challenge to Southwest.

I haven't noticed any in a long time. But I think they should have them at upcoming shows as Highspots has started selling Super Dragon masks again.

Low Ki is very nice. As is;

AJ
Hero
Claudio
Joey
Necro
Jack Evans
Roderick Strong
Aries
Rocky Romero

I have met Punk and he seemed fine to me. I met him after At Our Best in early 04 for ROH.

Colt Cabana has to be the nicest guy I have ever met.

Luckily,I have never had a bad experience with a wrestler. If anything, Scott Lost/Jade Chung always giving me shit/bagging on me for some reason (aka me sing along to mmbop when him and joey faced the young bucks/sarcastically asking for a hi five/calling Jade a whore ect.) but thats really it.

Man, I haven't had any cool encounters with any wrestlers, I'm sure it would be sweet though.

The only wrestler I have met is Mick Foley, and it was at a book signing. Very classy guy, showed up about a half an hour early, and stayed about an hour after scheduled. When I met him, he was a little more out of it than I thought he was going to be. However I don't blame him in the least, as I was the absolute last person in line, and he was signing for about 3 hours until that time. However, he was very classy to my buddy, and since my friend was of Pakistani descent, Foley told him a story about a time when he wrestled Middle-Eastern wrestler. One of, probably the best wrestling experience I have ever had.

I got a chance to speak with Mick Foley briefly at a book signing he did when "Scooter" came out. This was at the Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica. I think he liked me because during the Q&A he asked the audience if anyone had some questions for him about his writing; everyone was asking him wrestling questions. So I asked him if he was a fan of Stephen King and John Irving, since I saw some influence in "Tietam Brown." He was very happy, asked me if I'd been a lit major in college (I was).

Met Rob Van Dam at Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Westwood a few years ago--this was when his comic store in the South Bay (?) was still open, and back when he was off the road with an ankle injury. He was hobbling around on a soft cast; I opened the door for him, and told him I was a big fan. He said thanks, and asked if I'd seen the ECW DVD (I guess that would be "Rise and Fall"). I asked him if there was going to be an RVD DVD, and he said one would be coming out shortly (which would've been "One of a Kind"). After a minute, I excused myself and let him be, which I think is the most important thing when you meet someone on the street, you know, don't mark out or be annoying.

Kick to Kill, I think I remember that time where a fan wouldn't get out of the way when someone (I had no idea it was Super Dragon) was trying to park their car. The guy in line was sitting on the ground with headphones on, I think, and when he finally moved, someone further up the line shouted, "Pour water on his car," and the guy, who'd gotten out of the car by that point, went back to the guy who'd been sitting on the ground and got in his face and said "What are you gonna do to my car?" And when the fan begged off, the guy said, "Yeah, that's what I thought," and he started eyeing everyone in the vicinity (including me) trying to figure out who'd made the crack. I must admit, the incident made me uneasy; I felt the guy overreacted, since the comment was obviously a joke, and the guy who had been sitting in the parking space had nothing to do with it. That's why I never speak ill of Super Dragon, you never know, he could be right behind you

Sorry, Tiger Driver 98, you were the one telling the story about Super Dragon trying to run over a fan at the JCC parking lot.
