Well to start with I'm from from Jacksonville Fl, and I live right down the road from the Armory where NXT runs a show nearly once a month. On top of NXT we also have USWA (USWAJAX on YouTube) they run 4 shows a year. I have become friends with the Promoter of the USWA and her son, which happens to run concessions at both USWA and the NXT shows. 3 months ago I started help him with the NXT shows, he pays me even though I'd do it for free since I'm getting in the show for free. On show days we get there early to set up our stuff and we are there after. Well the first 2 times I was low key, sure I was there with the likes of Aries, DIY, literally TOP GUYS, Nakumora, and Asuka but I didn't mark out like I really wanted to. Anyway I got the PWI 500 and decided to bring it and last years Womans top 50 to this last NXT show which was the 28th. I was able to autographs from Crazy Mary, Cedric, Dirodo, and TJPERKINS. I had to have LD pointed out to me cause he had taken his mask off. That was a fun friday night.
Anyway being friends with a promoter has it's advantages, she has connections and we got invited to the FEST wrestling show in Gainesville. There was a good mix of Name Guys and local guys. They had a mixed tournament that was won by Heidi Lovelace. Going from memory the First round matches where Chuck Taylor vs Colt Cabana, Martin Stone vs Arik Cannon, Heidi vs A luchador?? And a luchadora match. During the second round match between Chuck and Arik I saw Colt at his merch table, autograph time. As I talking to Mr Cabana unbeknownst to me they guy in the ring decided to take the action Out of the ring. So as I'm walking back my friends I get bumped, we are in a bar so I think nothing of it until I realized I pushed by Mr Anarchy who was taking the Kentucky Gentleman to the bar where they proceeded to drink from various bottles and fight at/on the bar. They then thought it wasn't nice to fight in a bar so they took the match outside and I followed them and watched them trade blows where we were standing earlier in day before we made it in the bar. They even fought in the streets before heading back inside and in to the ring.
That afternoon/evening I was able to get Chuck Taylor's autograph, Heidi Lovelace's picture and autograph. In the parking lot I was able to get AR Fox's autograph, he might have been Heidi's first round opponent( again going from memory ). We also had Sushi after the show with a luchador, who will remain name less. That was my second time having a meal with a wrestler, I have had waffle house with Jon Davis before.
Oh yeah at NXT I had a conversation with the Red Roster.
