Me and my wife met Braun Strowman at an independent show he was chilling in the crowd and I asked him if I could get a pic for my father in law and he acted like a total @$$ bc her flash went off by accident and he was like "You're drawing too much attention" and made her cry and I'm like "Dude you're huge people are gonna see you with or without flash" lmao
Braun Strownan's actually a really nice guy. There's a kid with down syndrome in our area who got in a terrible accident. This kid's a huge wrestling fan, and Braun went out of his way to cheer this kid up. Maybe he was just having a bad day with you?
I met Ron Simmons in 97 when I was 12. My older sister worked at Ramada Inn and I would walk there after school sometimes and ride home with her when she got off work. I was in the lobby playing my game gear and Ron Simmons and his wife walked in to check in. His wife is from my town and I live about an hour away from Warner Robins where Ron is from. He was so big I knew it was him. I told him that I thought the Farooq Assad gladiator gimmick was dumb and I'm glad he had a better gimmick now. He just laughed and said "yea man everybody says that". He signed a piece of paper for me and signed it Farooq/Ron Simmons
I had such a great experience meeting Ron. He complimented me on my Jerry Lawler costume, and the promoter sent the video we took to Jerry Lawler. I’ve met Lawler before, but I hope I have one more opportunity, because I feel like a photo of the crown I now have, which I didn’t have the pervious times I met him, and one of his crowns both in it, needs to exist.
I met Scott Steiner and JBL two months ago and I didn’t really have a bad experience with them. Scott Steiner was just Scott Steiner and he was having fun making fun of Ohio State. JBL from my experience was very kind to me said “How’s my champ doing!” Took a photo and was basically the ring leader of the whole Q&A. Another person there was Lex Luger who is without a doubt one of the best wrestlers to meet he genuinely enjoys his fans. Same goes with Jon Moxley. Sorry you didn’t have some of the best experiences.
Thanks for the video!!! I’ve been meeting a lot of wrestlers lately and I’m going to wrestlercon next month. The only one that I had bad experience was the honky tonk man lol. He’s tired to be a smart assss to my question 🤣
Theyve signed a lot of stuff for people. Also have you ever thought about how it is you came off to them? I've seen a lot of people that were rude and felt like celebrities owed them and that they could say whatever they want to the person just because they're famous. I'm not sure why anyone would want to Pay to meet someone else anyways. You're a loser if you do that.
I always had good experiences meeting Scott Steiner, but maybe that’s because I was dressed as Rick a lot of the time. However, someone pointed out that when I took a video with Ron Simmons, dressed as Jerry Lawler, Scott was in the video, and a friend who watched it said he noticed that Scott looked unhappy about being in the video, perhaps since he wasn’t making any money from it. That being said, Greg Valentine gave me the worst experience I ever had. Like you said about Scott Steiner, Greg just seemed like he didn’t want to be there. No pizzazz, barely said anything, and he was like that both times I met him. I gave him a second chance just in case the first time was a fluke, but nope - he was like that both times. The second time I met Virgil, I started seeing why the lonely Virgil meme existed. He just kept trying to talk me into buying more and more items. The first time it was a good experience, and people have said he acted better when Ted Dibiase was there, which he was there the first time. That being said, Honky Tonk Man was a pretty good experience, or he at least saved the second experience with Greg Valentine. Tito Santana was another one that was disappointing. He seemed like he was hung up about money, which was a turnoff, since we expect to pay for autographs. Then when I complimented Tito on his figure 4, saying he did the best figure 4 I ever saw, Tito didn’t show was gratitude. He just gave a monotone, “Well, thank you.” Bob Orton saved the moment by saying, “I can attest to that!” Bob Orton ended up being the more outgoing of the two, which I was not expecting.
Not surprised about Honky Tonk Man, I know several people who have had bad experiences meeting him, funny he and Lawler would make this list, considering they're cousins, I myself have never had a bad experience meeting a wrestler, but once Sid Vicious wouldn't sign a picture for me, but it was because kayfabe was still strong, and he was a heel, and he said there were too many people around, it was after a show.
Hey how was your Valentine’s Day on Tuesday Kayla you always be my favorite you tuber I will always love your RUclips videos and I hope that you continue your success on RUclips you’re doing a very good job I will always watch your videos
Aw man I’m sorry you had bad experiences. My experience with Henry wasn’t the best but given what happened before I met him, I took him off my personal list until I get to meet him again.
@@MissWWEFan13 Erik Rowan didn’t look like he wanted to be there . Mark Henry told the Volunteer before meeting me that some people don’t belong in the ADA Line, then he came up to me signed my photo, took a pic and was done; never replied to me and said nothing.
I had 2 Completely different Experiences meeting JBL AND ZEUS. Both were really cool guys. Met Tommy Lister Jr. ( ZEUS) at a gym talked bout 20 minutes. But he did say most of the time he stays in character BC thats what people want. And met JBL outside of a restaurant talked for awhile great guy. Im also a big fan of his new podcast
We have met so many, and all have them have been so wonderful, the only one I was taken back with was Sami Zayn and Bobby Roode..both acted like they couldn't be bothered at all, they were not mean or rude , Sami was better than Bobby , and with Bobby it made me so sad, because I know it upset my son that he wasn't the greatest to meet. If I had to pick the best experience this is hard .. which is a tough one to choose.. but I have to go with the Uso's . They took their time , we had so much fun with them , that I want to be friends with them and hang out with them. Beyond friendly, so funny and so chill... and they refused to leave when they were supposed to, until they met every fan on that line.. Roman was pretty awesome too , it must be the bloodline, no pun intended girl 😆
Thanks for sharing your experiences, both good and bad, with meeting wrestlers. Sorry to hear about your meeting with Jerry Lawler. I met him at a comic con shortly after his son had died and he was friendly with me. I talked with him about Andy Kaufman (who he said was a good man). I'm sure he can be a bit of a jerk as well. Tiny Lester aka Zeus seemed like a nice guy from the shoot interview I saw him in, but from what you said he didn't seem to be someone I would want to meet. Not really surprised about the others you mentioned as I have heard other fans talk about being disappointed after meeting them. JBL was a loudmouth bully according to many other wrestlers, so I've never wanted to meet him on based on that alone. The Honkytonk Man has had a shady reputation with fans. I watched one of his shoot interviews and talked about stiffing a fan on a photo once as well as not tipping waiters. I've seen Scott at a couple of conventions and you can tell he really doesn't want to interact with the fans. Like you said he wasn't rude but came across as the don't bother me type. Personally, I can't think of any bad encounter I have had with the wrestlers I've met, so I guess I have been lucky in that regard. The closest I can think of wasn't really bad but left a bad impression of the person. It was Downtown Bruno (better known in the WWF universe as Harvey Whippleman). I was at the Memphis Wrestling Reunion in Tunica ,Mississippi . They were inducting wrestlers and others involved in wrestling in their hall of fame. He was one of the inductees and was walking around and I was just going to talk with him for a minute or 2 just to tell him I enjoyed watching his character and that he was at the 1st wrestling show I ever saw in person. I just got out a few words saying that I saw him at a wrestling show at the school I went too at which point he just rapidly shook his head smiling and saying quickly "yeah, those were the good ole days" and then walking away really fast like he as in a hurry to get somewhere (he wasn't he was just walking around the same small room as I was talking with the other wrestlers). It was a weird friendly/rude experience, Haha. It didn't surprise me that when they inducted him that they mentioned he held a political office in the state. I thought "yep, he acts like a politician and comes across just as phony as one."
Wrestlers i met, and short description 1.Tracy Smothers- great man, very friendly, may he rest in peace 2.Kevin Thorn- very nice, very shy 3.Dimond Dallas Page- he is exactly the man you think he is, awsome 4.Tommy Dreamer- had jetlag real bad, but was awsome all the same, even let me get a photo with him before he left for free 5.Ric Flair- very, very chill, he was nice to me, we talked a good 20 min on what if Magnum T.A didnt get into the wreck 6.Booker T- awsome dude, very friendly, made me the wcw champion👍
Worst 4 for me: maven, bubba ray, x-pac, Randy orton(by far the worst). Best: Rico Val venis titus O’Neil Shane McMahon Ricky Morton. Those 4 are the only bad that stand out. I’ve met many and the rest are good experiences
Now I met Chris Jericho & he was super nice and friendly to meet we talked about 5 minutes loved meeting him.Met SGT Slaughter at my high school and signed my book was very nice.Mick Foley goes out of his way for his fans.I met him 4 times loved all 4 times.He even talked to my mom on my cellphone coming home from the Royal Rumble at a gas station.
I worked security in south TX where Booker T had his ROW school, he was actually really nice, he was riding around in a hoverboard just talking to everyone and taking pictures. Only wrestler I have ever met.
You couldn't pay me to get a picture with Honky Tonk Man or Zeus, two carnies who thought they were a bigger deal in a scripted sport than they actually were.
i actually met jerry lawler on the street during our superman celebration in my town he was on the phone. my dad went up to ask him if he would say hi to me of course im like dad! he's on the phone! jerry came over shook my hand and i had a brief interaction w him. super cool dude i'm sorry u had a bad interaction.
I met the Big Show several years ago. He was rude and condescending to everybody. Not a decent human being to say the least. At least not on that day anyway. I also met Chris Jericho and Sgt. Slaughter. They acted as if they were put off and miffed because we asked for autographs.
I have met Big Show and he was super cool with me both times but I’m so sorry you had a bad experience. I heard Jericho is iffy and same with Slaughter. My experiences with them were good but it seems like it can go either way with them.
My worst experience is a tie between Shawn Michaels and the headbangers. Shawn wouldn't acknowledge me when I was 14 in an elevator. The headbangers tried to start a fight with me for wearing an NWO shirt. The coolest was Eddie Guerrero. He had a 10 minute conversation with me and kept trying to make me laugh.
I guess you don't have to worry about anyone meeting Zeus now... I have a Zeus story too. He was at an indy show in Jersey, and I tried to shake hands but he told me not to touch him because he was eating. He tended to ramble a lot about different things too.
Watch any of Tiny Lester’s shoot interviews he was one of the nicest people ever. However his gimmicks are mean people what you saw at conventions was a gimmick like MJF.
Sorry about your horrible experiences. Some Wrestlers have good and bad days it happens. It does suck that one superstar who you’re a huge fan of and wanting to meet so bad treats you like crap when you meet them in person.
I'm lucky that I haven't had any bad experiences . There was an awkward experience meeting Ted Dibiase and IRS at Wrestlecon last year. I got a dual photo . They didn't say a word and just nodded . It's a good photo , I just wish the interaction was a little better . I started watching in late 80s and seeing Dibiase was a big deal. They might have been tired . I met Jerry Lawler and he was very nice . So I'm shocked and sad to hear you had bad experiences with him. I'm not surprised about JBL , he seems like a jerk. Also I saw Honky Tonk Man at the same convention last year and he gave me bad vibes. I didn't wind up meeting him.
These people are mean. Very cool video by the way. I never had a bad experience who's is rude wrestlers. I had few nice wrestlers in the past. I hope that I don't meet rude wrestlers one day.
True story my sister met Lawler in his restaurant and approached as respectful as possible, apologizing for it being unexpected and asking for 1photo. He responded rudely next thing you know his then bodyguard who seen it all said cmon man dont be a dick to this little girl next thing you know he took the pic
I know someone who took a picture of JBL at a convention, and went to walk away, and someone pointed it out to him, and literally went after the guy and almost caught the guy and took his head off
@@MissWWEFan13 the reason why is because the stood in front of him took a selfie and refused to pay saying, "N words we can't say her, don't got to pay"
I understand the rude ones. I’m an emotionally intense guy. If I’m having a bad day I won’t talk to you. I’ll tell you straight to your face. Some of these wrestlers are emotionally intense too. It sounds like if Scott Steiner is in a bad mood look out.
What people need to take into account was how many days have they been on the road working and go into a restaurant you may get bad service and what they hear all day you don't think they hear rude stuff from fans but they don't see wrestlers as people they want the character not the real person Scott may have stayed in character he is bad guy , so he is suppose to be and Scott may have been forced to be there he could've been on the road for months with no days off and they get burn out like any worker remember it's their job you ever have a bad day at work
Honky Tonk Man at conventions is way over priced. I remember his booth at a few WrestleCons was empty as he was charging $30.00 more than most talent. I would pay top money if he was in his Honky Tonk gimmick not a sweatshirt.
I've met Lawler twice. Both were positive experiences. Stood and talked with me. Had a laugh about a story in his book. He was a little younger then. It was before any of his health issues. Maybe that had something to do with it.
@@MissWWEFan13 I suffer from two major health issues myself! And I also do not treat people poorly! What I was saying was I met him before he had any health issues. Sometimes it changes people and not for the good. Still doesn't excuse him for completely ignoring a paying fan!
I had a couple of bad experience here and there. I met Vampiro at Wrestlcon in NY and the guy really didn't seem to want to be there. But the worst was Zack Ryder/Cardona by far. I met him in Orlando during Axcess with Curt Hawkins. I just went up to him said hey it's nice seeing you guys. I asked him if he knew off hand how many wrestlers he had in his collection. I must had pissed him off as he passed the question to Curt. Curt could not have been nicer. So after I got done with getting my autograph (security was rushing the line btw) I opened my WWE Encylopedia to check out the autograph. There's Curt's, but where is Ryders? I thought this dick just screwed me of an autograph. Turns out he signed on the back on the pic of Ultimate Warrior (Vol. 2 btw). Why would I ever look back there for him? I quit supporting him that day.
I understand that we're all human, and we all have our bad days. However, I don't understand famous people who act like this when meeting fans. Not just wrestlers, but anyone who's famous. I understand not being a people person, but it's something you should probably consider before he acquiring fame. Not only that, but I would assume nobody forces them to take part in these conventions, except for maybe Wrestlemania Access.
If your paying st signing and eaiting in line they shlukd be nice snd respect ful..now in lubmic or in airports or randomly in pubmic they really dont hsvebtoo sign anything..mine bgg were alway alright ron simmons is very cool
Fandango and Billy Kidman fit the DGAF category. Robbie E/Rob Stone pushed a table into my friend and refused to apologize. This has an asterisk next to it, but Kevin Nash went off on me for filming his table. But he was nice the other time I met him. Mark Henry never impressed me. And last time I saw him he cursed me out for having my camera out near him. I can name a lot of nasty local wrestlers in NJ too.
Paul Roma was the only rude 1 I met. The others were cool I met. I met Sgt. Slaughter, Rick Steiner, Jimmy Hart, Lex Luger, , Ron Simmons, DDP, Wrath and Mortus they were cool but Paul Roma was a TOOL begging for money and I am glad I never paid him a penny.. Jimmy Hart and Lex Luger were the nicest of all. I feel bad I didn't even want to speak with Ron Simmons. He tried to talk with me and I blew him off and didn't want his auto. He asked me if I could take a few photos for him with some fans I did do that for him for free maybe he should have given me a free auto for doing that for him though?.
hey I think you should wear the Cody Rhodes T-shirt American nightmare Kayla I will always love your RUclips videos you will always be my favorite RUclipsr
I don't wanna be mean but you sure will not meet Zeus no more he already passed away sadly I met him once he was cool but I guess everyday is different
I never had your level of top bad experiences, but the closest one I would declare rude is Sabu, I had a picture taken with him (a polaroid picture) and when he signed on the bottom space, he mentioned about how the ink can ruin the photo, just the tone he was saying it in, but one of my others I would put at the bottom of a pleasant meeting would be Bret Hart, I got a photo-op picture with Bret and shook his hand and said nice to meet, and when said you too, he sounded sarcastic, but both were still an honor to meet, I had opportunities to meet Lawler, but never tried to, we just happened to work the same shows and I was the camera guy for those shows, I was just there for business, film the shows, take down the ring and go home, I didn't do it to meet the famous wrestlers (now I made some exceptions, like Road Dogg, Goldust and DH Smith, fun story, I filmed DH's match, after the show was over, while I helped take down the ring, DH asked if he could watch his match, I let him watch it on my camera)
I met Rick Steiner he signed horribly bad but I didnt even get a photo I paid for but w.e.. we talked football for awhile he was ok besides how he signs.
He’s ripped enough people off over the years so I’m glad he can give a few extra photos here and there 😂 still sucks I didn’t get what I paid A LOT of money for
Damn idk why Honky was a jerk couldn't take a picture. You already paid for it anyways and even if you didn't I don't think a quick picture would hurt.
Perspective on all this, You are important to YOU only! You mean nothing to these wrestlers, nothing personal intended. It is a job to them, they are promoting the business they are in only! They perform or sign autographs and take pictures, get paid per their contract, or appearance fee, that is it. To you, you are important and unique. But to them you look the same as thousands of others they have met under similar circumstances. On paying to see them or for a picture or certain number of autographs, I am old school where that is concerned, if I want a picture or an autograph, I walk up and ask. If I am told I have to pay I walk away. Don't pay if you are expecting pleasantries, conversation, smiles, exciting facial expressions, sense of humor, witty or intelligent comments, again, you are just another routine person or mark to them. They sign, smile maybe halfway or fake, they every so often pause to look at their watch or the clock to see what time it is, in other words, how much time is left they have to be there. Assembly line, folks. If you critique this in any other manner or your expectations are higher, just because you paid a fee, you are a fool. They also don't have the time to spend making you and the other many who pay to see them feel as special as you think. Here is some extra free advice, spend time instead taking pictures with those you love and those who love you. They definitely mean much more and should without any doubt.
I'm mad when I met John Morrison paid 20 bucks for an autograph we got there toward the end he signed my buddies book with a lots to say on it then mine just John M not even his full name for 20 bucks what a rip off
Dont know if you ever met brett hart je cool too.kept asking .e his favorite match be kept sayin he loved mr perfect. And asked me if wanted more 8 by 10 photo's..but brett sorto was bitter too alot of his felow collugges so i think he likes fans more brett is great 👍
I’ve met Lawler. He was by himself though and had my friend who runs the store that he was signing at. Only 25-50 people came. So, he could be one of those people that don’t like to be around a huge amount of people. In any event, there’s no excuse for him acting like a jerk though. I’m sorry he was an ass to you.
For the this Late Comment on this being a day late : that had to be so awful that you had a bad experience all of those wrestlers including Zeus you had to to meet during your battle with cancer and you had to deal with all that sweating that you can’t even control and worst thing about you can’t a take a picture about all this bc he gone .
I met Cm Punk back in 2017. I only had like 10 secs to talk to him. But he sounded like he didn’t care and didn’t want to be there. He just looked moody.
I met Jerry a second time just to be sure he was pretty bad the first time. Both times he talked like a robot spitting out generic answers designed to stifle conversation. Just wanted to move us along even if no one was in line. Others that were pretty bad: Rikishi, Dibiase, JR, Steamboat, Nash w/Hall and Bischoff, Lita, Billy Gunn, it was more the norm than the exception. Nash was great on his own but I think he said he was drunk on wine. Abyss, Chavo, Shane Douglas, Hall, Dustin, Hacksaw, Tessmacher, Cornette, Warrior, and Bret were all classy. Steiner was just kinda there to move everyone along. There were some neutral experiences too. But there was enough bad ones that I ended up opting not to meet people like Ron Simmons and Mean Gene. Didn't want to risk losing money.
Zeus died in 2020. Don't think you'll ever have to worry about meeting him again.
I agree that wrestlers should at least be cordial when fans are paying to meet them.
I met Zeus back in 1992 and he was very nice, we talked for an hour mostly laughing about Hulk Hogan.
Me and my wife met Braun Strowman at an independent show he was chilling in the crowd and I asked him if I could get a pic for my father in law and he acted like a total @$$ bc her flash went off by accident and he was like "You're drawing too much attention" and made her cry and I'm like "Dude you're huge people are gonna see you with or without flash" lmao
"he was chilling in the crowd" aka there to relax as a fan
If he agreed to take the photo then he should not get upset about something that was an accident though (aka the flash).

I love the stories of the other wrestlers seeing wrong and making it right
Always dropping bangers! Love to see it keep it up and btw you dropped this 👑

I just got out a few words saying that I saw him at a wrestling show at the school I went too at which point he just rapidly shook his head smiling and saying quickly "yeah, those were the good ole days" and then walking away really fast like he as in a hurry to get somewhere (he wasn't he was just walking around the same small room as I was talking with the other wrestlers). It was a weird friendly/rude experience, Haha. It didn't surprise me that when they inducted him that they mentioned he held a political office in the state. I thought "yep, he acts like a politician and comes across just as phony as one."
I’m glad you had good experiences!
Wrestlers i met, and short description
1.Tracy Smothers- great man, very friendly, may he rest in peace
2.Kevin Thorn- very nice, very shy
3.Dimond Dallas Page- he is exactly the man you think he is, awsome
4.Tommy Dreamer- had jetlag real bad, but was awsome all the same, even let me get a photo with him before he left for free
5.Ric Flair- very, very chill, he was nice to me, we talked a good 20 min on what if Magnum T.A didnt get into the wreck
6.Booker T- awsome dude, very friendly, made me the wcw champion👍
Worst 4 for me: maven, bubba ray, x-pac, Randy orton(by far the worst). Best: Rico Val venis titus O’Neil Shane McMahon Ricky Morton. Those 4 are the only bad that stand out. I’ve met many and the rest are good experiences
I’m sorry you had bad experiences!
Maven??? He seems so nice lol
Maven suprises me damn smh
Now I met Chris Jericho & he was super nice and friendly to meet we talked about 5 minutes loved meeting him.Met SGT Slaughter at my high school and signed my book was very nice.Mick Foley goes out of his way for his fans.I met him 4 times loved all 4 times.He even talked to my mom on my cellphone coming home from the Royal Rumble at a gas station.
I worked security in south TX where Booker T had his ROW school, he was actually really nice, he was riding around in a hoverboard just talking to everyone and taking pictures. Only wrestler I have ever met.
You couldn't pay me to get a picture with Honky Tonk Man or Zeus, two carnies who thought they were a bigger deal in a scripted sport than they actually were.
i actually met jerry lawler on the street during our superman celebration in my town he was on the phone. my dad went up to ask him if he would say hi to me of course im like dad! he's on the phone! jerry came over shook my hand and i had a brief interaction w him. super cool dude i'm sorry u had a bad interaction.
I’m glad you had one of the few good interactions Iv heard about him!
@@MissWWEFan13 thank you! he is honestly the only wrestler ive met.
Metropolis, IL?
@@steveapken6803 yup
I met the Big Show several years ago. He was rude and condescending to everybody. Not a decent human being to say the least. At least not on that day anyway. I also met Chris Jericho and Sgt. Slaughter. They acted as if they were put off and miffed because we asked for autographs.
I met The Big Show as well ,This was at the Auto Show a few years back , And he was very good to me when he shook my hand.
I have met Big Show and he was super cool with me both times but I’m so sorry you had a bad experience. I heard Jericho is iffy and same with Slaughter. My experiences with them were good but it seems like it can go either way with them.
I met Jericho he was cool af
Jerry Lawler and Honky Tonk Man are cousins. Look it up it's true.
Figures why they’re both major jerks 😂
My worst experience is a tie between Shawn Michaels and the headbangers. Shawn wouldn't acknowledge me when I was 14 in an elevator. The headbangers tried to start a fight with me for wearing an NWO shirt. The coolest was Eddie Guerrero. He had a 10 minute conversation with me and kept trying to make me laugh.
Shawn Michaels being a dick to fans?? That's something I just can't believe lol
I guess you don't have to worry about anyone meeting Zeus now...
I have a Zeus story too. He was at an indy show in Jersey, and I tried to shake hands but he told me not to touch him because he was eating. He tended to ramble a lot about different things too.
Never knew he passed until after I made the video. I’m sorry you had a bad experience as well…
Watch any of Tiny Lester’s shoot interviews he was one of the nicest people ever. However his gimmicks are mean people what you saw at conventions was a gimmick like MJF.
Sorry about your horrible experiences. Some Wrestlers have good and bad days it happens. It does suck that one superstar who you’re a huge fan of and wanting to meet so bad treats you like crap when you meet them in person.
I'm lucky that I haven't had any bad experiences . There was an awkward experience meeting Ted Dibiase and IRS at Wrestlecon last year. I got a dual photo . They didn't say a word and just nodded . It's a good photo , I just wish the interaction was a little better . I started watching in late 80s and seeing Dibiase was a big deal. They might have been tired .
I met Jerry Lawler and he was very nice . So I'm shocked and sad to hear you had bad experiences with him. I'm not surprised about JBL , he seems like a jerk. Also I saw Honky Tonk Man at the same convention last year and he gave me bad vibes. I didn't wind up meeting him.
im glad you got a better expriences!
These people are mean. Very cool video by the way. I never had a bad experience who's is rude wrestlers. I had few nice wrestlers in the past. I hope that I don't meet rude wrestlers one day.
I hope you don’t meet any rude wrestlers either!
@@MissWWEFan13 I hope so. I have a boyfriend now he told me when he meet Scott Steiner and he told me that Scott Steiner is nice to him
True story my sister met Lawler in his restaurant and approached as respectful as possible, apologizing for it being unexpected and asking for 1photo.
He responded rudely next thing you know his then bodyguard who seen it all said cmon man dont be a dick to this little girl next thing you know he took the pic
I met Jerry Lawler like hundreds of times basically because I live in Memphis TN. I’ve always found him as very nice. Also agree with Scott Steiner.
Definitely one of the few Iv heard that has had good experiences!
I know someone who took a picture of JBL at a convention, and went to walk away, and someone pointed it out to him, and literally went after the guy and almost caught the guy and took his head off
That’s weird
@@MissWWEFan13 the reason why is because the stood in front of him took a selfie and refused to pay saying, "N words we can't say her, don't got to pay"
I guess I got lucky I never met a rude wrestler always had great experiences
I understand the rude ones. I’m an emotionally intense guy. If I’m having a bad day I won’t talk to you. I’ll tell you straight to your face. Some of these wrestlers are emotionally intense too. It sounds like if Scott Steiner is in a bad mood look out.
I would have called them out .. dah F!
Trust me lol I thought about it
I would have called them on it too
I met The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase back in 2014. He was incredibly nice and a true gentleman.
MissWWEFan13, I just want to say - you are awesome! I hope you never have to go through Chemo again.
Thanks for the information Kayla
No problem!
@@MissWWEFan13 now I’ll be cautious about meeting the people mentioned in the videos
What people need to take into account was how many days have they been on the road working and go into a restaurant you may get bad service and what they hear all day you don't think they hear rude stuff from fans but they don't see wrestlers as people they want the character not the real person Scott may have stayed in character he is bad guy , so he is suppose to be and Scott may have been forced to be there he could've been on the road for months with no days off and they get burn out like any worker remember it's their job you ever have a bad day at work
Honky Tonk Man at conventions is way over priced. I remember his booth at a few WrestleCons was empty as he was charging $30.00 more than most talent. I would pay top money if he was in his Honky Tonk gimmick not a sweatshirt.
He was included in my package lol
With regards to Scotty that’s the way the guy is. I met him and didn’t have a pen he proceeded to tell a kid to give him an “f”in pen
Like I stated in the video, he wasn’t rude but if I had to pick a #5 as the least best experience, it has to be him.
I've met Lawler twice. Both were positive experiences. Stood and talked with me. Had a laugh about a story in his book. He was a little younger then. It was before any of his health issues. Maybe that had something to do with it.
Ehhh I’m sorry but as someone who as major health issues (cancer and an immune disorder) it doesn’t give you an excuse to be an asshole.
@@MissWWEFan13 I suffer from two major health issues myself! And I also do not treat people poorly! What I was saying was I met him before he had any health issues. Sometimes it changes people and not for the good. Still doesn't excuse him for completely ignoring a paying fan!
I had a couple of bad experience here and there. I met Vampiro at Wrestlcon in NY and the guy really didn't seem to want to be there. But the worst was Zack Ryder/Cardona by far. I met him in Orlando during Axcess with Curt Hawkins. I just went up to him said hey it's nice seeing you guys. I asked him if he knew off hand how many wrestlers he had in his collection. I must had pissed him off as he passed the question to Curt. Curt could not have been nicer. So after I got done with getting my autograph (security was rushing the line btw) I opened my WWE Encylopedia to check out the autograph. There's Curt's, but where is Ryders? I thought this dick just screwed me of an autograph. Turns out he signed on the back on the pic of Ultimate Warrior (Vol. 2 btw). Why would I ever look back there for him? I quit supporting him that day.
I’m sorry you had bad experiences!
I understand that we're all human, and we all have our bad days. However, I don't understand famous people who act like this when meeting fans. Not just wrestlers, but anyone who's famous. I understand not being a people person, but it's something you should probably consider before he acquiring fame. Not only that, but I would assume nobody forces them to take part in these conventions, except for maybe Wrestlemania Access.
Completely agree
If your paying st signing and eaiting in line they shlukd be nice snd respect ful..now in lubmic or in airports or randomly in pubmic they really dont hsvebtoo sign anything..mine bgg were alway alright ron simmons is very cool
Fandango and Billy Kidman fit the DGAF category.
Robbie E/Rob Stone pushed a table into my friend and refused to apologize.
This has an asterisk next to it, but Kevin Nash went off on me for filming his table. But he was nice the other time I met him.
Mark Henry never impressed me. And last time I saw him he cursed me out for having my camera out near him.
I can name a lot of nasty local wrestlers in NJ too.
Oh dang I’m sorry that you had those experiences
Update: I did see Kev again and he was all right.
I never meet wrestlers
I hope you can one day
Syxx (Sean Waltman) & Rey Mysterio where awesome to meet 🙏👍
Paul Roma was the only rude 1 I met. The others were cool I met. I met Sgt. Slaughter, Rick Steiner, Jimmy Hart, Lex Luger, , Ron Simmons, DDP, Wrath and Mortus they were cool but Paul Roma was a TOOL begging for money and I am glad I never paid him a penny.. Jimmy Hart and Lex Luger were the nicest of all. I feel bad I didn't even want to speak with Ron Simmons. He tried to talk with me and I blew him off and didn't want his auto. He asked me if I could take a few photos for him with some fans I did do that for him for free maybe he should have given me a free auto for doing that for him though?.
hey I think you should wear the Cody Rhodes T-shirt American nightmare Kayla I will always love your RUclips videos you will always be my favorite RUclipsr
Thanks so much!
I don't wanna be mean but you sure will not meet Zeus no more he already passed away sadly I met him once he was cool but I guess everyday is different
Oh had no idea he passed. Everyone who met him that day were upset. You’re the only one I have heard that actually had a good experience 😅
@@MissWWEFan13 😂 yeah he was being good cause he was in the hood so he had to be a good guy or else we would jump him but sadly he passed away 😔
I never had your level of top bad experiences, but the closest one I would declare rude is Sabu, I had a picture taken with him (a polaroid picture) and when he signed on the bottom space, he mentioned about how the ink can ruin the photo, just the tone he was saying it in, but one of my others I would put at the bottom of a pleasant meeting would be Bret Hart, I got a photo-op picture with Bret and shook his hand and said nice to meet, and when said you too, he sounded sarcastic, but both were still an honor to meet, I had opportunities to meet Lawler, but never tried to, we just happened to work the same shows and I was the camera guy for those shows, I was just there for business, film the shows, take down the ring and go home, I didn't do it to meet the famous wrestlers (now I made some exceptions, like Road Dogg, Goldust and DH Smith, fun story, I filmed DH's match, after the show was over, while I helped take down the ring, DH asked if he could watch his match, I let him watch it on my camera)
On another note, I would say that the nicest wrestler I've met would be Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Some of their best heel work id say. You have to remember they came through kayfabe. I reckon Jim Cornette would love it. 😅
I met Rick Steiner he signed horribly bad but I didnt even get a photo I paid for but w.e.. we talked football for awhile he was ok besides how he signs.
I've worked several independent shows with Lawler. He is such a diva and looks down his nose at everyone.
The Honky Tonk man was really nice to me he took two pics I paid for one and he let me put his hall of fame ring on
He’s ripped enough people off over the years so I’m glad he can give a few extra photos here and there 😂 still sucks I didn’t get what I paid A LOT of money for
@@MissWWEFan13 it wasn’t cool that u didn’t get what u paid for tho
If I met a wrestler I'd want them to be rude to me.
Lol if you say so
Haters be hating MissWweFan. Did you go to AEW last week? Did you like it?
It’s gonna happen lol. And no I was at Disneyland!
Zeus is from the Kayfabe era working the gimmick.
No lol. I wish that was the case with this time. I’ve met plenty wrestlers who stayed in character…Zeus was not one 😂
Ron Simmons FTW
Agreed!
Wrestlers are human. What a surprise.🎉
Damn idk why Honky was a jerk couldn't take a picture. You already paid for it anyways and even if you didn't I don't think a quick picture would hurt.
And it wasn’t cheap 😂
@@MissWWEFan13 yeah that's really crappy of him ngl.
Perspective on all this, You are important to YOU only! You mean nothing to these wrestlers, nothing personal intended. It is a job to them, they are promoting the business they are in only! They perform or sign autographs and take pictures, get paid per their contract, or appearance fee, that is it. To you, you are important and unique. But to them you look the same as thousands of others they have met under similar circumstances. On paying to see them or for a picture or certain number of autographs, I am old school where that is concerned, if I want a picture or an autograph, I walk up and ask. If I am told I have to pay I walk away. Don't pay if you are expecting pleasantries, conversation, smiles, exciting facial expressions, sense of humor, witty or intelligent comments, again, you are just another routine person or mark to them. They sign, smile maybe halfway or fake, they every so often pause to look at their watch or the clock to see what time it is, in other words, how much time is left they have to be there. Assembly line, folks. If you critique this in any other manner or your expectations are higher, just because you paid a fee, you are a fool. They also don't have the time to spend making you and the other many who pay to see them feel as special as you think. Here is some extra free advice, spend time instead taking pictures with those you love and those who love you. They definitely mean much more and should without any doubt.
9:15 I don't think many of us will ever meet Zeus again! ⚰
Honky tonk man has been a has been for a long time now. Glad Luke was so cool.
Stinks that you had a bad hand with The King and Honky Tonk Man but the huge shootout to Bushwicker Luke for coming through a Clutch for you .
Very true!
Remember Zeus was sick to and it may have been he didn't sign up to be there he had to be she goes she was sick well so was he , he died later on
Great video I never met anyone rude
I’m glad you havent!
I'm mad when I met John Morrison paid 20 bucks for an autograph we got there toward the end he signed my buddies book with a lots to say on it then mine just John M not even his full name for 20 bucks what a rip off
Damn that sucks. Did your friend ask for the extra stuff?
No he never asked him he just signed his book with all of his old gimmick names plus his name
Dont know if you ever met brett hart je cool too.kept asking .e his favorite match be kept sayin he loved mr perfect. And asked me if wanted more 8 by 10 photo's..but brett sorto was bitter too alot of his felow collugges so i think he likes fans more brett is great 👍
Oh I met Jerry at the ballpark he was very nice sorry you didn't We talked about 3 minutes
You definitely had a very rare experience of him being nice. Since this video, Iv had more than 30 people message me telling me how he was a dick
You should do a video where you meet all these wrestlers again and see if you have the same opinion 😅
Oh heck no 😂 well I can’t meet one of them anymore because he passed but wouldn’t waste our money on any of them 😂
Why would you want to meet Jerry lawler he’s was nothing from when I watched it in the attitude era
The Honky Tonk Man is a rip off I don't want to meet at all Kayla when I go to wrestlecon with my boyfriend John Dwyer one day
I’ve met Lawler. He was by himself though and had my friend who runs the store that he was signing at.
Only 25-50 people came. So, he could be one of those people that don’t like to be around a huge amount of people. In any event, there’s no excuse for him acting like a jerk though.
I’m sorry he was an ass to you.
The second event, he didn’t have a lot of people at his booth. Most people at the convention weren’t wrestling fans.
For the this Late Comment on this being a day late : that had to be so awful that you had a bad experience all of those wrestlers including Zeus you had to to meet during your battle with cancer and you had to deal with all that sweating that you can’t even control and worst thing about you can’t a take a picture about all this bc he gone .
I had no idea he had passed until someone else informed me in the comments!
@@MissWWEFan13 He died around 2020 or 2021 not sure .
Zeus is Deebo what you expect he's a bully 😂😢
Joey Janela made snide comments to my friend.
Oh no I’m sorry they had a bad experience
Exactly video
Thank you!
@@MissWWEFan13 no problem
Do you have top 5 favorites?
I made a video on them!
Zues passed away years ago
Maybe change the title to 5 worst experiences??
Cool video
Thank you!!
Zues is legally blind in one eye. If you were 6'7" and were blind in one eye, you be angry too
lol disability is no excuse. as someone with disabilities, disability or not, if you are an asshole, you are an asshole.
@@MissWWEFan13 true, but you have to be understanding that some people are more upset about things than others, but I do get your point.
Honky tonk man Rude to everyone even me one guy never want to meet ever.
Yeah never again lol. Not even to get a photo
Mark henry
What about him?
❤❤❤
❤️
Is that a guy or gal
Kana is rude when I met her
Oh wow!
Who's kana??
I met Cm Punk back in 2017. I only had like 10 secs to talk to him. But he sounded like he didn’t care and didn’t want to be there. He just looked moody.
Aw I’m sorry
I met Jerry a second time just to be sure he was pretty bad the first time. Both times he talked like a robot spitting out generic answers designed to stifle conversation. Just wanted to move us along even if no one was in line. Others that were pretty bad: Rikishi, Dibiase, JR, Steamboat, Nash w/Hall and Bischoff, Lita, Billy Gunn, it was more the norm than the exception. Nash was great on his own but I think he said he was drunk on wine. Abyss, Chavo, Shane Douglas, Hall, Dustin, Hacksaw, Tessmacher, Cornette, Warrior, and Bret were all classy. Steiner was just kinda there to move everyone along. There were some neutral experiences too. But there was enough bad ones that I ended up opting not to meet people like Ron Simmons and Mean Gene. Didn't want to risk losing money.
And Zeus isn’t even a wrestler lol
I think you missed the point lol
🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Idk why u people keep idolizing these folks smh
Whoever said I idolize them 😂 no where did I say that lol. Just because I wanted to meet someone does not mean I idolize them in any way…
@@MissWWEFan13 it’s just an opinion I’m not attacking you
@@MrAnonymous389 well you said you people so…
Wow. I'm. So. Sorry. Jerry. And. JBL. Where. So. Rude. To. U. I. Will. Never. Met. Them.
Tell people that are leaving you bad comments tell them to stfu
You don't owe the people leaving bad comments p
