I once had lunch one table away from Edward Burns.
So I didn't actually "meet" him, but he was talking so loud that I felt as part of his conversation...so...


In March I shook hands with WWE wrestler Mark Henry.



I imagined him being much bigger. shrug



There's sexual chocolate. And Mark Henry. wink


batting eyes

HOWYOUDOIN?



Now that I've had more time to think about it, two more people to add to my list of famous people I met, Bret Hart and Chris Jericho. Bret Hart was at a book signing in Dublin, and I met Chris Jericho in a bar, also in Dublin, when he was in town with his band.

Chris Jericho really needs to give up the tights.
Him and Shawn Michaels.

I didn't recognise him when I seen him because he had his hair cut short and I only knew him to have long hair. I was also thrown off because of just how big he was. On TV he looks small compared to the other wrestlers but in real life he absolutely dwarfed me. Same with Bret Hart.

You made me google it pc

Chris Jericho is 5'-10" - that's about what I imagined him being.

Rey Mysterio looks like a midget on TV but he's my height (5'-6").

That's because the "big" guys of the WWE tend to be monsters. nod

Lol. That was brilliant. I used to have a huge crush on Bret Hart when I was younger.

I have met Elton John, Carrot Top, Leif Garrett, Scott Biao, Lamar Hunt (owner of the Chiefs, until he died)

In my younger years I worked at our local amusment park called, Worlds of Fun. My department was the rides. Elton John and his entire band came to the park and was riding the rides. He came to my ride and I seated him, and 2 band members in the car of the ride I worked on, fastened them in and started the ride. Elton was in the middle if the seat and the other 2 band members were on each of his side. Elton had each of his arms around their shoulders.

Leif Garrett and Scott Biao, were big back in the day. After the amusement park closed they and their entourage came into the park and we had to stay and cater to them. They had pretty big egos...

Carrot Top actually put on several shows at the park, and I was up close to him working as his aide.

Lamar Hunt of course owned the Chiefs and owned the park, and he would come to my ride every morning to see me...........ok, not just to see me, but to tell me there were cig butts and gum in my flowerbeds and I needed to get them picked up. But he did check on me every morning in the park and we made a game out of it, me looking over my area making sure there were no butts or gum, and him, always finding a butt or gum. LOL
