Hello fans and welcome back to our first April
newsletter. In this issue we will recap
the events that took place at the Fanfest that led up to Wrestlemania. The fanfest was a 3 day show with panels,
meet and greets and the like. Day 1 of
the event had appearances from Legends such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ricky
“the Dragon” Steamboat, Terry Funk, and the Ultimate Warrior.
There was a panel that had both Super Warrior and Ultimate
Warrior on it. This was the only panel
that there was a charge for as UW felt that what he had to say was worth money
to people so if they wanted to hear it from him, they’d have to pay (I think
Master Bull set that up).
Day 2 of the event had the HWF superstars and people were
packed in like sardines. It was a tremendous
success. Every superstar (even Master
Bull and the Super Warrior) stuck around until all fans got their autographs. There was a young man who came to the show and
met up with Master Bull. The two of them
had a pretty long conversation. We’re
not sure who this guy is (yet), but I’m sure we will find out soon.
Day 3 and the CSWA superstars were another story –
specifically (yep, you guessed it) The Elitist Reid Rothchild. This guy is such a jerk. He was charging $200 for an autograph (double
that what the Ultimate Warrior was charging) and he said that his signature is
worth gold and if people didn’t want to pay it, they didn’t deserve it. In fact, the only person we saw at his table
was our PPV name contest winner known as Ravishing Raquel. She stayed at his table and the two of them
made googily eyes at each other.
Donnie B and Jeff Meyers were on a panel discussing the
history of the HWF and CSWA (this one was sold out) and they told some great
stories. Meyers even recapped the
history between MW3 and the Undertaker.
It got a lot of good laughs.
Donnie B told the fans about some behind the scenes gossip about the
Negronomicon that got people “oohing and ahhhing”. (Donnie
B also told a story about when he (in “real” life) went to Houston for a
wrestling show and while there, went to a book signing being done by HHH. When it was his turn, he mentioned to Hunter that
he came in to town for the event and for the signing. HHH then stood up and shook his hand thanking
him for coming in. Not such a bad cat
after all.)
All in all, the show was a huge success. With the exception of Reid Rothchild,
everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves (we’re sure Reid had some fun too).
Wrestlemania is coming up next. Stay tuned.
