Mine involved Tito Santana.
I went to get a photo with him, something of mine signed, and an 8x10 of him.
I ask him, "Do you remember wrestling Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 8?" "Yeah, I remember." "Do you remember telling him he had a booger on his nose right before the match started?" "He did have a booger on his nose!" lol Funny to me.

First of all,meeting a lot of the guys from this board was great!
My fave experience was Saturday night when I got to hang out with the MX and Jim Cornette at Bennigans! A group of about 8 of us were priveleged to hang out with them and what an experience! The bar closes at 2:00 am but we were there until 3:30! Special props to the manager there! A great guy!
Also,big thanks to stingmark for hooking us all up!
I had the honor of sitting across from Dennis and between Eaton and Cornette and these guys treated me,and the rest of us,like we were all old friends! The stories and antics of these guys and Jim's girlfriend Synn were just fanatastic! It was something i'll never forget! Even though Bobby Eaton did want to knock the hell out of me when I brought up his past teaming with George Gulas!lol
In all honesty,these guys treated us not a sfans but as friends and it was a memorable evening! Even though a few of us almost got run over because of Dennis!lol
And the stories of Cornette's wrestling memorabilia room and collection...WOW!!
I could really go into detail but don't wanna bore anyone!

Seeing EVERYONE from this place, and even some new ones, wasa huge treat for me. Hangin out with my friends and "The Jesus of Wrestling" Jim Cornette, his beautiful g/f Synn(who's my good fiend- love you Stacey), Dennis and Bobby, on Sat Night was the best of the entire weekend. I miss my friends already, and will be there again, in Charlotte, to see you all next year. Thanks to everyone for being cool and hangin, it was indeed a blast. To Greg Price(Who works tirelessly to hook up us fans): Thanks my friend, YOU ARE A CLASS ACT!!! Thanks for one of tbe best times of my life. Don't forget who needs to be there next year. ;D  |

This was a blast all weekend long. It's hard choice for me. Probably talking to Dr. Tom Prichard, he remembered being on our show a few weeks ago and just talked to us like we were buddies. He was a great guy. So many other great moments. The autograph sessions, Larry Z, meeting Tony Atlas again, King Kong Bundy was great, Rockin Robin remembering us, Percy Pringle, the Dennis Condrey rib story from the Q&A etc etc. Of course, meeting my cohost in person for the first time and recording a live show from our hotel room. Hope everyone who met us there enjoyed their button lol.
Seriously, was just a blast all weekend. Thanks to all the guys there, the security (especially Shane, an honorary IYH member) and of course Greg Price.

My favorite moment was walking into the Midnight Express photo session with the NWA tag team belts and having Jim Cornette stop what he was doing to come over and check them out. He and the Midnights were great and the photo I got with them was off the hook. Just great stuff.  |

Obviously, mine like many of yours was a Cornette. Saturday morning, I asked Stan Lane for a photo in front of the dealers room. He said sure, and I gave my camera to his wife. Cornette came running up to him showing him a box of books or something. He even let me see them. People also took pictures of them talking with me in the middle, which I'm sure had to do with my rugged good looks (  j/k). I finally asked Cornette to be in the picture, and let them be. It was awesome. I wonder if anyone has any of those, my pics didn't develop yet. |

Meeting King Kong Bundy and Ivan Koloff. Both were very nice and couldn't have been better.
The other moment would've been when Big Chief Sittingstill spoke Russian to Ivan Koloff!

One of my favorite moments was Nick Bockwinkle pranking somebody on the phone in the hallway outside my room. He was on the phone screaming, "WHO DAT THERE?!"... "Ahhh.. this is... ahh, Angelo Mosca". LOL
And then Cornette's Dusty Rhodes story! Hearing and seeing Cornette imitate Dusty Rhodes was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life.
"Listen here, motherf*cker! This is my motherfu*king territory, this is my motherfu*king television show, and if you want to make a comeback, you comeback on me!!
