I was in the LA Fitness locker room and a dude walked by looking like a pro bodybuilder, then turned around it was Bo Dallas

Met Chris Jericho at an AFI concert in Atlanta.

I wanted to meet Mick Foley for his first book signing at a ShopRite in NJ. My mom said no cause of my brother’s play/dinner that same night. Tell me why we stop by ShopRite to get some food before the play… so THAT was the unexpected part. The line wrapped around the building and from a distance I see Foley. :mjcry:

I knew the fix was in when Ric Flair & Dusty Rhodes were sitting next to each other at a Hawks game on TBS back in the day (the broadcast team put them on the celebrity cam). Mind you, Dusty was in a full-fledged blood feud with the Horsemen at the time.

I flubbed and remembered wrong, it was Tony Garea not Ivan Koloff. :heh:

I met The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H, Gangrel, Chyna in 98 at JFK. My cousins took pictures with Austin. Back then I wasn't a WWE so I didn't even know who Rocky was and regret it cause he was cool af and now in my top 2 of all time. I got back into wrestling by watching the last 10 min of WCW for Goldberg. Then eased into WWE during the attitude era and some ECW.

Maybe like 2015, I met Bad News Barrett at 24 hour fitness in Houston off 290 and Tidwell. That's when I realized wrestlers appear larger on TV than in person. He was cool as shyt. Also why I can't watch AEW without laughing. they puny af over there.

I have the same problem with AEW and used to think Vince’s big man thing was silly but have to admit I have the same problem with AEW too many wrestlers look like high school kids or just regular guys in shorts doing wrestling moves and it throws me off

Especially when they bill them anywhere near or over 200 lbs. As an in shape guy that's been in the gym for over 2 decades, their top guys like Mox, Bryan, Page, Omega ain't nothing more than 180. I'm saying that cause I'm bigger than them at 190.

So guys like Cole, Sammy and Darby are about 140 to 155 lbs which is sad. That was my weight and size 20 years ago when I started working out.

Rule: all wrasslin performers atypically add 50 pounds to their on screen Entrance weight.

Like when triple h was his absolute best visual in two man power trip. He was probably only 190 pounds.
