The United States of Esoterica

25th anniversary show promises to be epic. (With epic long lines unfortunately)

Bret the hitman Hart has confirmed.

That alone makes this a must attend event.

Bret Hart is a bitter old man. Good luck, RSS.

I'll keep my fingers crossed in the hopes that Joyce DeWitt will be allowed, by her parole officer, to attend this year's festivities.

I really want to ask him if the carpet in his home was piss stained when he was growing up.

I will be attending a similar event this weekend, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. There will be a slew a old wrestlers there including Hulk Hogan, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, (who I see is also attending Motor City Comic Con) Kevin Nash, Jerry Lawler (you can buy a drawing of his for like 20$ lol) Al Snow, Jimmy Hart, Mick Foley and I'm sure an unofficial appearance from Virgil who seems to lurk around every year. I probably won't be waiting in line to meet any of them as last year there were a shitload of people everywhere. Maybe if Virgils prices are reasonable ill get a picture and post it here lol.

Virgil frequently attends the Motor City Comic Con. Never really liked his gimmick, as I'm more a territory days wrestling fan and remember Ted DiBiase's being a better heel before he was the Million Dollar Man. Virgil is all about the WWE too, which was annoying.

Talked to Duggan last year at Motor City Comic Con. He was great. One of my favorites from the Mid-South days.


Brutus Beefcake was a late add to the Motor City Comic Con. I talked to Greg Valentine last year, so it'll be fun to talk to Brutus this year.

Bret Hart is also attending, but i think he's going to be charging VIP prices, so I probably won't get to meet him.

Of the Chicago group, I'd definitely want to talk to Lawler. He basically kept an entire territory afloat by himself.

Well it was a successful C2E2. Best of the day was the 3 fat guys dressed like the Shield. Didn't get to talk to any of the wrestlers but some observations I made were Kevin Nash was high, Jim Duggan seems like a cool dude and Al Snow is still ripped and if he isn't wrestling anymore he definatly could. Hulk Hogan was in the autograph area and was charging 99$ for an autograph so I stayed far away from that. Only disappointment was I didn't get to see Stan Lee.

Jesus, $99 for an autograph! That is insane.

Prices, sadly were astronomical this year.
While the Con made major improvements to handle the massive amount of people who come to the Con -- making more ticket and entry lines this year and adding shuttles for offsite parking -- the guests who came charged $10-20 more OR EVEN MORE for autographs.

Much as I wanted to meet Lee Majors, I wasn't paying $40 for an autograph.

I did throw down $30 for Brutus Beefcake. He was cool. He said he hasn't watched the WWE Network yet, but is glad a new generation of fans will be watching his matches.


I would have bought an autograph from the Nasty Boys, but one of them acted like a complete piece of shit and asked me to move when I was standing slightly into their space while talking to Beefcake's handler. At the time, they had absolutely nobody seeking their autograph and it came off that they were bitchy because Beefcake had more fans in his area.

Oh, there was one other highlight....I met Baroody!!
