WrestleFanFest – Malice in the Palace
Thursday, October 25th, 2007Other then Roddy Piper, the Friday night matches had been the event that I looked forward to the most for the convention. The card had changed many times over the past few months. The main event had been scheduled as Scott Hall and Kevin Nash vs. Sid Vicious and a mystery partner. That main [...]
WrestleFanFest – Roddy Piper
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Grant had noticed that his front of the line pass was a bust so he took it to the information booth and traded it for two Roddy Piper One Man Show passes (one for him and one for me). Little did he know that in less then an hour, in the line for the [...]
WrestlFanFest – Slick and the One Man Gang
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Many of the wrestlers hadn’t showed yet near the beginning of the convention. The Steiners and Dudleys were there as well as Rikishi, Black Pearl, and the Powers of Pain. They were all signing in the main entrance hall and they all cost extra. Well, extra if you consider the tickets we held meant [...]
WrestleFanFest – Legends of Wrestling Part Two

Maybe he’s a throwback to the old carnival sideshow wrestling days. I was warned about how he was but I fell for [...]
WrestleFanFest – Legends of Wrestling Part One
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007One of my reasons for going to the Wrestling Fan Fest event was to have my Champions of the Galaxy Legends of Wrestling cards autographed. Before the convention I had gathered around 25 cards of wrestlers that would appear. Amazingly with all that did go wrong that weekend I managed to get all but [...]
WrestleFanFest – The Sandman
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007First thing’s first. The event was a disaster. I was among the lucky ones who hadn’t shilled out a thousand for premium passes or payed an arm and a leg for vendor space. I expected to walk into ComicCon International but what I got was the Riddle Sawdust Jubilee. The autograph tickets were pretty [...]
WrestleFanFest – In the Beginning
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007“Let me tell ya something, Mean Gene!!” I got off the bus near Fisherman’s Warf and decided to walk a ways. Took in the Cartoon Artwork Museum and 2 hours of San Fransisco before I decided to take a cab. $40 later I was at the Shereton Hotel, picking up my purchased entry tickets [...]
