Unlike the past two Wrestle Reunions where I wrote up a big recap at the end of the weekend, this year I just want to write up some smaller updates whenever I get a chance throughout the weekend. I just landed at LAX and found out the bag I checked did not make it. Sorry Ty, your stuff was in that bag (but I will go back to LAX if it shows up.) I was not planning on checking a bag, but decided to do since bags are free on Southwest.

Good news! Southwest found my lost bag and I am on my way back to LAX to pick it up. We went to the LA wrestling territory historical presentation and met LOW photographer Mike Lano. Toasterboy then had to leave but me and cman went to the Arena Chicks show- Sassy Stephie defeated Davina Rose, Fantasia defeated Buggy, and in the main event Fire and Ice (Amber ONeal and Angel Orsini) defeated the After Midnight Express ( Shelly Martinez and Cookie)
Then we went to Colt Cabana's live Art of Wrestling podcast with Mikey Whipwreck who did an awesome Terry Funk impression. At the end of the podcast Dino Winwood (formerly of PWG) was also a guest with some incredible voice impersonations of Gene Okerlund, Booker T, Gorilla Monsoon, Jesse Ventura, Low Ki, and others.
So far Colt Cabana is the only one of my LOW cards I have gotten signed, but most of my stuff was in that bag the airline did not put on my correct flight.

I made our first LOW signing of the weekend! I am really glad to get this guy in the game. I wonder if he will be in Legends 12? He is definitely a set worthy name!
Me and Cman just got done getting our deluxe photos with Shelly Martinez with her in a bikini. Shelly is really cool! I am looking forward to getting my picture I took with her tonight signed by her tomorrow.
I also got my Virgil LOW card signed tonight and he didn't charge me as much as I feared based on reports of other fans in their experiences with Virgil. Virgil told me does not like his card art because he said it makes him look like "buckwheat."
Now we are about to go to tonight's DGUSA IPPV and then Colt Cabana's $5 Wrestling.

Tonight's DGUSA live IPPV was great! My favorite matches were PAC vs Akira Tozawa and CIMA and Ricochet defending their tag team championship against both Masaki Mochizuki and Jimmy Susumu (Yokosuka) At intermission I bought the new Finlay shoot DVD and a book called "Hardcore History: The Extremely Unauthorized History of ECW" written by Scott Williams. After the DGUSA show ended, we went upstairs and watched $5 Dollar Wrestling hosted by Colt Cabana and Marty DeRosa and they had a different wrestling guest for each match they commented on. Some of the guests included Shelly Martinez, Sami Callahan, Stu Stone, and Sunny (who mentioned that Jim Niedhart is sending her nearly nude photos of himself to her on his phone and she even went up and down the stairs to show the fans one of the photos.) Marty DeRosa made a hilarious comment about Niedhart sending Sunny these photos, but I am not sure I should repeat it on the board. After $5Wrestling, I had a $5 beer (that is what beer costs in my room's mini fridge which also wants $4.50 for a normal size bag of peanut M&Ms.  ) About to get some sleep so I can get up and get my deluxe photo ops with Vader and the Godfather in the morning. |

Sounds like you're having fun. Good luck with the signings! Stay away from that mini-fridge!  |

What a morning!
I managed to get another LOW signing and exchange contact info (with some business cards Tom sent me) with some other potential signings too.
I got my copies of the following LOW cards signed today: Finlay, The Destroyer, Dr. x and Konnan.
I also got both the Honky Tonk Man and Dan Severn (he already signed my LOW card of himself two years ago and he told me he might be doing some more stuff with ROH soon) to sign my WWE Encyclopedia.
I also got Shelly Martinez to sign the bikini photo op picture she took with me yesterday and I took two more photo ops today- one with Vader and one with the Godfather who after I told him I live in Las Vegas said I need to go to Cheetah's and meet him again sometime.
I also went to Subway down the block and when I came back I got to talk to Akira Tozawa once again about his match last night and about his match tomorrow night too.

Did you get the Lucha Konnan card signed too? |
