Photos from the 10 April show in Charlotte will be up soon…I among several people who was disappointed with the turn out at the show…the return of Roddy Piper to Charlotte after 20 years and the return of wrestling to the Grady Cole Center (the Charlotte Park Center as Mr Florida pointed out) after possibly the same amount of years really warranted a huge turn out…not sure what this means or where blame should be placed…the close to 300 people that were there had a good time regardless and I did as well…one of my long time friends came on the road trip with ER and I…I was afraid that he wouldn’t have a good time as he is not the biggest wrestling fan and was only going on the hopes of getting a picture with Piper…turns out he had a great time, got his picture and a couple of autographs too.
I cannot say enough about how much of a gentleman Roddy Piper was…completely laid back…cordial to everyone in the VIP line on stage…he would ask where they were from, and get a little information about them before doing the picture…a class act!
I told my friend who accompanied me that going to certain shows is like attending a homecoming, you see people that soemtimes you haven’t seen in a long time…great to see the Mid-Atlantic Mafia who were out in full-force…our friend Graham Cawthon from The History of the WWE site was there…Deon Davis (he played Barack Obama on WWE)…two lovely ladies-Elaine & Nola from The Gillespie Agency…the NWA Charlotte bosses-JD Costello & Jay Joyce…the Masked Superstar!
Next week is Hardcore Hell at NWA Anarchy…
