The WWF was once
again in town and I was hoping to once again meet
up with Mr.Snow,this time we had tickets and were
ready to go. So I showered and shaved and
wrote Al a little letter asking him what I should
do about promoters e-mailing me asking if Al
could work their shows,e-mails from friends
looking for him ect ect,I also added all the
artwork I had made for the HEAD,and was ready to
pass this envelope on to anybody if I was not to
see Al. This little adventure was not as
chilling at the one in January,in fact it was a
Sunny day which we would pay for in the
end. I let Rose sleep till around 7:00 at
which time I got her up and she got
ready By say 8:00- 8:30 we were out of
the house on our way to the Key Arena,which if
you have never been to Seattle is in the Seattle
Center where the Space Needle is. From
our house the Center is no more then say 5 miles
away,so its a 5-10 minute trip if that,we headed
south and stoped first at Dennys for
Breakfast. We were thinking about going
all the way downtown to see if we coud find where
they were staying but we were not sure so we
Did'nt try After eating we went
down the block and found parking at the
Center We walked around the Key arena
until we found were the Wrestlers were to drive
in,Rose and I were the first ones there,which was around 9:00-915,the guard told us that the
Wrestlers would not show up till 3:00 in the
afternoon,"yea right" we thought,so we set up
camp for the day,soon two other male fans showed
up and camped next to us 10:00 rolled
around,no Wrestlers,11:00 rolled around,no
Wrestlers,in the mean time some other fans showed up,one being this lady that had e-mailed me
before about her artwork,I can't remember her
name,but some of her artwork is on the Boston
Crab page. At the same time there was
another female fan eyeing Rose and I from the
other side of the sidewalk,She turned out to be
one of the Brides of Kane, Denice,aka Phenom's
Lady,her and Rose had a great time chatting away
and picking on me because I told them that the
WWF should have Undertaker grow Horns,Denice
locked my arms so that Rose could punch me,hey,it was getting pretty damn boring out
there,lol. 1:00,2:00,3:00,rolled
around and no sign of any Wrestlers,By this time
there was a good bunch of fans hanging around,at
maybe 3:00 a white car pulls up to the
Driveway,it's Al,Blue Meanie,and somebody in the
back,Al as he drove up pointed at me as if to
say"Wayne!dude!",Al had to stop the car to tell
the guard who he was so I taped on the Blue
Meanies window,Blue rolled the window down and I
passed my Artwork and note into the car for Al to have,I then said to the Meanie,which was pretty
markish"What cha doing here I heard you were
fired!",duh!maybe I shoud'nt a said that,but I
did and I can't take it back now,must always
remember that Wrestlers are the same as you and
I,but I'd say I blow that rule Al then
said"Hey Wayne how you doing?"I told him I was
doing alright,at which point Al said he was going to drop off who ever was in the back seat,then he would come back around,which he did He
had his window rolled down and we chatted about
what was in my note,He admited that he had not
gotten to his e-mail which at this point is at
least backloged to last January and maybe
behond,lol. We chatted about the firings
of some of the Wrestler which Al just had to say
was one of thse things,we also chatted about how
he has Wrestled 12 times for that Hardcore
belt,at which we both had to laugh,I was also
wondering if he and any promo photos of himself
as Shinobi or Avatar,at first he thought I was
talking about a new promo photo of which he
looked in his bag but did not find one,I told
him that there was only one photo on line of him
as Avatar,which as far as I know is true,and that there are zero photos of him on line as
Shinobi,he then told me he didnt have any promo
photos of Avatar or Shinobi,so I told him that I
guessed that I would have to spend some money and buy a tape of him of when he Wrestled Shawn on
Raw,and that I would have to buy the bootleg tape of the Bodyslammers matches where he was
Shinobi,he told me that was a good
tape At this point I told him we had been out there since 8:30,he said"Man thats crazy",we
laughed about it,then he said him and Meanie were going to get dinner,I asked him if when he came
back if we could shot some photos of him and I
together for the HEAD,he told me that we could do that when he got back,it sounded good to me,so
off they went. When they were gone I dont think any other Wrestlers came by,and Al and
Meanie were gone for what seemed like an
hour,hour and a half,when they pulled up
again,once again Al points at me,they drive down
the ramp,never to be
seen again till their spots in the show I felt forgoten,but how do I know why the photos
did'nt happen,could of been too long of a
dinner,he forgot? who knows,but I have to say it
hurt my feelings. So we move forward to
the next day,Mankind is doing autographs at the
local Hooters,So I figured I would take a trip up north of Seattle and get old Micks autograph
again,and maybe just maybe I could get a little
even for getting my feelings hurt,so my fist
stop was a junk yard where I picked up an ashtray for my car which was kidnaped by some drunks
maybe, months back,my second stop was Toys R Us
where I picked up the Al and Mankind tag team
action figures,then it was on to Hooters,I must
say,they dont call it hooters for
nothing. So my thinking here was to get
even,I was hoping Mick had a 8x10 that he was
selling so that I could have him sign it"Al Snow
sucks" or "Al Snow Sock-o's love Mick,something
like that so I could stick it on the main
page,lol Ok,so anyway when I get to
Hooters once again its camp out day,Rose did'nt
go cuz her nose got really burned from the
campout the day before So to get
autographs they passed out numbers to all
standing in line I was number 88 and it was only
10:30,signings did'nt start till 12:30,so at
11:00 they let everyone in so I had lunch,a Steak sandwhich if you must know,and then played the
waiting game,Sometime around 12:00 Mick and some
people who had won lunch with Mick in a radio
contest showed up,oh great now Mick gets lunch
first,ok the mans got to eat right??Around 12:30
everyone with tickets had to go back outside the
store and wait for Mick to eat his Oysters,some
kid gooking at Mick watching him eat said it was
Osters. At about 12:40 the line started
moving,when I got to Mick I think he might have
remembered me from before cuz he kind a gave me
this look,anyway,so I said to Mick as he was
signing(he didnt have an 8x10...damn)"Tell Al
thanks for photos,he totaly blow me off"At which
point Mick said"which Al??Al Snow?"I moved to the other side of the signing table out of the way
and Mick said"What did Al do?" so I repeated my
story,I then said,half in a angery way half in a joking way,"yea tell Al Wayne says he sucks",as
Im in my car driving up the freeway I had to
laugh at myself for being such a mark,but hey if
someone says they will do something they shoud do it right?? or at least have someone come and tell me why it coud'nt happen,know what I
mean? Ok back to the house show
itself,Al's match was against D-lo in which Al
lost when D-lo picked up Al into the lowdown for
the pin,which was all good because I have read
that at house shows Al beats up on HEAD which is
what happened Click here to see photos of the match We then got to see Al come out a second time and stop Val from getting that damn Hardcore belt,which I did'nt get any photos because of a mean rotten staff person that busted me for using my flash,but you know,all in all it was a very busy two days,but I'm ready for the next time the WWF comes to town,go figure AFTER THOUGHTS Rose and I after having some time to sit down and look over her video tape,we found that there were some good potos we could use of Al and I chatting,once again all you can see of me is the back of my head,which is why I wanted to get a photo of me and Al together,oh well,heres the photos...enjoy your webmaster Wayne
