My good stories are both with wrestlers...

I met Chris Jericho at the Silver Buckle in Red Deer on my 18th birthday. He was still in WCW at the time, it was a Sebastian Bach show. I remember seeing this shorter but built guy with long blonde hair and a Paul Stanley Solo album Tshirt on... saw his face and went "holy $***, you're Chris Jericho!!!" I asked him when he was jumping to WWF because is was being wasted in WCW (was kinda a big mark back then) he laughed and said you never know. (he ended up there within the year i think). He ended up on stage with Bach singing a few times to which Im not sure many other people knew who the hell he was at the time.

I also ended up drinking with Spike Dudley and Big Show in Kelowna when I lived there in 2003. WWF was in town for a house show and were staying across the street from the pub i frequented. Me and some friends where going to the show that day and having a drink on the patio of said pub, when we saw Bubba Ray Dudley walking down the side walk in front of us, one of us yelled out "bubba, who ya fighting tonight?" to which he replied " that fat f#^& Big Show" which made us all laugh at the table... we went to the show and then after went back to the pub.
I was up getting another round for our table when I saw lil' Spike dudley standing by the bar having a drink solo... so i invited him to our table, which he accepted. Over the next hour 4 or 5 other wrestlers wondered in and ended up at our table with us as the pub was packed. Spike and I talked for awhile, Chris Nowinski and I talked the most, he was a nice guy(felt bad when he had to retire so early).
The the Big Show walked in and sat with us, had the chance to talk with him for a bit, and me being a few drinks in relayed the story from earlier in the day when we asked Bubba who he was fighting... Show let out a huge laugh and yelled across the table to Bubba, who was sitting with us and said "Bubba what did you call me?" and long story short I had Bubba Ray in my face, yelling at me calling me a liar... to which I apologized and said I must have heard wrong, offered a hand shake which got slapped away and bubba then told me to f off. It kinda put a damper on the the fun for a few minutes. Shortly after Bubba left and Spike came over and told me not to worry about it that Bubba was an Ended up at the strippers with Spike and Show about an hour later too, the night was pretty epic ending with the Show asking the door man at the strippers where he could go for a rub and tug LOL. My friends always bug me that I should have tried to fight Bubba Ray... I wasn't nearly that drunk.
