What Are You Guys Fishing? - Ken Kennedy
5. Maria Kanellis - I finally got to meet her this past Saturday and it was great. Thanks Raf!
4. Wrestling - You already knew that I hope :)
3. Cherry Pepsi / Cherry Coke - Best Drinks Ever
2. A good heel - Heels make the world go round.
1. Hanging out with friends - Nothing beats it
(Even though it goes too quick sometimes)
THE TRIP...........
Things started out with a quick pit stop in South Philly before heading back to the Gallery to get on the trains. NJ Transit itself is good, but the ticket machine lines are terrible. Met up with Raf, went to Pizza Hut and then watched Ferris Buehler (side note: After over twenty years, they are releasing a new dvd this week).
Found out that Juvi was released. I had a wierd feeling after he drop the cruiser title to Nunzio in Italy. That, and all the reports that Rey had to be his backstage babysitter. Woke up early to go to the Carlito and Maria signing in CT. The day started with breakfast at a nearby diner with a deranged waitress. If you are gonna heckle someone over a Patriots jersey atleast know that they won the Super Bowl last year. Time for CT. We were at the front of the line and got in and out quick. Snapped a few Maria pictures after I was done in line. There are a few good ones. Back to Raf's for Cinderella Man. Awesome movie as expected. JAP time. Show was okay. Rhino won the title with a sick table bump. Also, got the Soul Survivors DVD and a great Samsonite camera case for cheap.
Sunday morning broght a trip to the RVD autograph signing in NY with Raf and Ed. It was long wait, but not too terrible. Off to the PPV. It was pretty good. Saw Mickie wrestle again even though she lost. Carlito and Angle owned in the chamber. I was a little off in my Shawn Michaels bleeding prediction. I gave it 7 minutes, but it was about 10 minutes.
The Albany Marriot was the next stop. Flair was at the bar when we got there. That was interesting. Got Chris Masters to sign a promo. Also, Grisham and Coach. Left there at three in the morning...lol.
Seton Hall in the morning before a long drive to Hershey for RAW. Pizza Hut again!!!! Highways signs would have been helpful. RAw was okay. Moving down is awesome. 3MW is back. They looked good, but that is pretty easy to do when the other team gets no offense. Mickie better have seen my sign. Ashley is def not ready. The Masters and Calito / Angle and Shawn tag was really good. The Cena / Angle dark match was also good, but it was short. That was understandable since Angle already worked the tag. Cena was able to walk on air again after being killed the night before. A moderate drive back to my place.
Did my usual string with clipboad thing for Smackdown the next day. Got Regal, Mark Henry, Sylvan and Vince. Triple H, Stephanie and Vince took a group photo in the parking lot and Steph gave Vince bunny ears, lol.
Headed over to McFaddens a little after 1 for the Fan Access thing. Didn't know who it was gonna be. Turned out to be Nunzio, Vito, Simon Dean, London and Kendrick. Even though everyone was expected higher level guys, they were perfect for the Philly area. Three ECW guys and two ROH guys (even though they abandoned us) Stayed there a little while after everyone was gone since there was still some time before Smackdown. The Redneck Messiah beat Scotty 2 Hotty Velocity. Things are right with the world. Smackdown was good even though there was only two matches. Orton and Benoit was good and so was the battle royal. We saw Daivari in the parking lot, but I totally forgot about that during the show and I wasn't counting the entrants. The confetti for Angle was also great.
Notes from the weekend:
- Taco
- Don't use Yahoo maps if possible
- Shawn bleeds in tag matchesd without being touched.
- Ken Kennedy is such a prick you have to bow to him...lol.
He looks up at the clipboard and says, "What Are You Guys Fishing?"
- Is it acceptable that I didn't say anything to Maria since I was standing there in awww? :)
- I close the door behind me
- We bought the most random things at Walgreens: Soda, Pink posterboard, a magazine and canned pasta.
- Booo to the non-moving ketchup and the waitress with the blood hand...ewwww)
I think that is all the important stuff from the trip. I tried not to forget anything, but I still have a little bit of a sleep hangover.If there is anything else, I'll add it later on. The biggest thank you evergoes out to Raf. It was an amazing weekend that I will never forget. Hopefully, we can do it again soon and I won't be such an idiot about directions. :( It was Andrew Ryker.
