I met Nick Bockwinkel last summer here in Las Vegas at the Fiesta Casino (a WWE blast zone) prior to a free showing of the WWE's Night of Champions Pay Per View.
Bockwinkel was really cool. For free, he signed a few copies of his LOW cards for me and also for Chad Olson who sent me hs Bockwinkel cards to get signed.
Because I knew in advance I would be meeting Bockwinkel, Tournament Master sent me a copy of Bockwinkel's new LOW card art to give him. Although Bockwinkel was polite about it, I could tell he (like pretty much everyone else here who has commented on it) didn't think much of his new acrd art and said saying something lije he thought the new drawing looked more like him during his football days than his wrestling days. Hopefully there will be new and better Bockwinkel card art someday.

My fav was King Kong Bundy. This was before the Legends game even came out and all that was out there was Bundy and Valentine
He was signing autographs at a Car Show here in Louisville and I showed him the card and he lit up like a Christmas Tree. He asked if I played, etc, told me he knew Tom and such.
Snuka and Albano were there as well, but this was before they had cards released. Wish I had some then.

Richland Hills, TX Jim Cornette -- worked with him, Greenville, TX Destroyer -- met him, CAC Ted Dibiase -- worked with him, Longview, TX Hacksaw Jim Duggan -- worked with him, Ft.

Almost forgot, since I don't have the LOTF set to go by -- Necro Butcher, worked with him, N. Richland Hills, TX. I saw him a few weeks ago at a show in Kemp, TX. He remembered me, and it was great to see him. Only thing was, after his match, a standard Necro bloodbath, I saw him in the dressing room afterwards, and he said "Gimme a hug!" Um ... not happening, dude! :-)
