that's pretty sweet.. i haven't watched wrestling in at least 10 years, but i DO remember going to some wrestling event and remember that super hot chick "Sunny".. she was the manager for the Smokin' Guns.. I met them and touched the tag team belts, and had half of a mind to try to touch Sunny but my mom was there so i didn't..Quote:

I met Wayne Llwellyn and Pat Barrett in the ringside seats when Naseem Hamed fought Daniel Alicea at the Newcastle Arena.
I also met Naz (I WAS a big fan) he had been showing his belt at a Newcastle football match. I saw him outside and held my hand out to shake as he walked up to me. I saif 'Naz I am a huge fan you're doing Britain proud' he looked me up and down and walked on without a word or a hand dkahe. I was gutted.
Highlight for me though was speaking to Lloyd Honetghan on the phone. I was on a Union course and was talking to the organiser in the bar on the evening. Talk got around to boxing and I mnetioned that I trained and that my British one of my favourite British fighters was LLoyd. This guy said 'Oh he's a mate of mine hang on' He got his mobile out rang a number and said 'Hey Lloyd it's ****** got a fan wants to speak to you'. I was literally almost speechless and what with being a bit full of guinness babbled on like a fool. Priceless talking to him though.

But be gentle with him, his jaw is so fragile if he buried his head in your chest you may accidently kill him.
