Seeing everyone again was and is always my favorite part of the Fanfest Weekends. Hanging out with the Midnight Express at Bennigen's Saturday night is something that I will never forget! And last but not least: Boris Yates, you must learn to not put the Russian Sleeper hold on yourself all weekend. The Polish Power says you must eat more Kielbasa and dance the Polka to keep awake. By the way, thanks to the Garvin Stomper for putting up my picture of me sleeping in the lobby -   . Later The Polish Power |

my favorite memory would have to be dinner + drinks at Bennigans with the MX + Cornette + Synn and several other fanfest attendees.

Just a quick question... How did Jim Cornette and Sherri Martel get to be such good friends....SHe ran up and hugged him and took pictures during the autograph signing and she was a couple rows ahead of me during the Midnight Express q and a she was the first person Cornette ever managed. I'm assuming they've had a good relationship since that point in time. |

One of my favorite memories was meeting Larry Zbyszko. I always rooted for him, but I really became a fan of his when he and Curt Hennig started teaming up in the AWA.
Of course, the fact that he was very nice to everyone and seemed like he wanted to be there only made it better.
I have also read enough about Jim Cornette to know what to expect, but seeing him live at one of these shows was also great. He always treats everyone so well....I hope Jim Cornette is at every fanfest/wrestling reunion I go to. I will never get tired of seeing him.

Like several others on this thread, having dinner with Cornette, Eaton, and Condrey at Bennigan's was the highlight of the trip for me. They were such down-to-earth people.
Coming in a very close second would be meeting Bret Hart. He's one of my all-time faves and being able to shake his hand and tell him I enjoyed watching him perform was a thrill.

Oh yeah. My only regret is that I didn't get a picture. Of course that would've been kind've creepy for them having a complete stranger take their pic.  |

My favourite memory was, after accidently missing the infamous Bennigans trip, and being informed (quite correctly) that I had 'fucked up there' by Bobby Houston, my good friend Stingmark hooked me up with both Cornette and later the MX in the lobby, so I got to talk to everyone anyways....
Although making fun of BRYates sleeping though everything was also good....
There were SO many class acts involved with this event, and the fun we all had: in particular Greg Price, Jim 'the Jesus of wrestling' Cornette, MX, Stingmark & Brunogod (for the comp etc). These people ensured the event was such a riot that Ricky Morton & Billy Graham no showing were kind of secondary issues. The real fun was had at the lobby and in the bar....

Well Mr. Still...I am always happy to supply anyone with footage of the greatest wrestler ever!And I really wish you would have been at Bennigans with us! Oh,and remember when Cornette was entertaining us in the lobby early Sunday morning ,and Gary Coleman,aka the hotel security guard came over because we were making too much noise? lol Like he could aactually have stopped any of us from doing anything we wanted!lol
