Following the Capitol Legends Fanfest, I will never allow myself to miss another. That being said, I am interested in hearing stories about some encounters with various legends, or non-legends, and perhaps a reason why they should not be invited for the Charlotte show. Any stories to share?

in 2005, I didn't find Paul Jones to be very fan friendly. I don't know that is my place to say who should or shouldn't be there, but I would say out of everyone I have met so far he is my least favorite. I also would not want to see Jim Niedhart there again either. He just did not come off right in my opinion. He and Bret did a good Q & A Session, but I didn't see where Niedhart had any kind of a personality.

I agree with your thought on Jim Neidhart. I was happy I met him but he didn't really seem like he wanted to be there. When I made it to him in the autograph line I asked if he would sign the cover of my program but instead he just kind of glanced at me, sighed, and then found his picture inside and signed there. You meet people like Jim Cornette, Tony Atlas, Sensational Sherri, and Rick Martel, and you get so excited to meet them because they are happy to converse and then meet the ones who just push you along without an awknowledgment or in some cases even a smile.

Again , I just get tired of seeing The RNR Express at every indy show and fanfest. I also did not like how Virgil acted even though he was a vendor. The deal with Paul Jones is that he seemed to have issues , not trying to be a jerk but you could tell that George South was trying to keep him on track during the Q&A , people just get older as we all do. I don't take him not being "with it" as him not being nice. He's just an older guy now.
Neidhart seemed to know his place , sleeping in a chair while Bret Hart had the room in the palm of his hand.

being in bret hart's shadow would dampen anyone's outlook. i bet he may be a better guest without bret anywhere around.n

Jim neidhart is a character..
I had the pleasure to have him March 05 legends of the Ring 2
Neidhart likes to party
apperantly he never went to sleep the night before my show..
I came down to the lobby at 6 am to go to the ball room and set it up and he greeted me and wound up helping me set up the room for the convention Moving Tables
- taking poloroid film out of wrapping setting up fan control barriers... hanging up signs and putting out the sharpies and photos for the guests. i insisted it wasnt nessesary but he insisted he help me...
I thought it was kind of funny..

No Virgil. I don't care if he's a guest, a vendor, or a fan. No Virgil please.
Neidhart was cordial when I met him, he wasn't rude or anything to me. Plus, when Aaron was by himself in our room, he came in and pissed in our bathroom, and then left. Can't beat a story like that.

I don't think Abdullah the Butcher would be anyone I'd want to bring back, cause in the autograph line if you were next and weren't paying attention he would yell at you going NEXT, NEEEEXT!!! Just didn't seem like a cool person.

Just didn't seem like a cool person. That surprises me, becasue each time I have met or talked with Abby he was always a gentleman and first class, even in the autograph line. |

For all of those that are mentioned above, take note that your's truly was NOT listed as people brunogod didn't want to see. That's right, Chris Bradshaw, the National Television Champion, is who the smart patrons are putting the money down for. |

I would in fact boycott any legends show that didn't include the illustrious Chris Bradshaw!

It just wouldn't be fanfest without me. By the way, for those interested, I will be signing autographs all 3 days in Charlotte. |
