My WWE moment...

My mother could tell you just how much of a crazy WWF fan I was when I was younger. It's been so long they changed the name to WWE! It started after watching a few "Saturday Night's Main Event"'s when I was around 8 or 9... then came the action figures, the ring, the music, the video games... it all happened really fast over the course of about 2 years. I must have had every WWF magazine from May of '89 to when I drifted away in the spring of '94. When you are young it's easy to become obsessed with things. WWE was definitely one of my obsessions. I remember having a afternoon paper route when I was 12 and I made up some excuse about Saturday piano lessons to the driver who dropped off my papers just so that he would get them to me earlier. I did this of course so I could get them all delivered and be home in time to watch WWE at 3pm. When my Mom found out about that - she was none to pleased. I had to do what I had to do!

Anyway the point of this post it to share a really great experience I had with WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase at an event at my store. For those of you who might remember his father was "The Million Dollar Man" back in the day. Ted was amazing - so down to earth, friendly, funny, engaged... I wish I could experience the whole event all over again. Fun little southern accent, super hot body and no attitude at all. (gay men take note). He was doing an in-store to promote a movie he starred in called "Marine 2". The crowds were big but very well behaved, he took the time to talk to as many fans as he could and signed just about anything they asked him to. (Something he didn't have to do). All in all it was a very successful event and for sure one I will remember for a very long time.
