WWE European Tour - April 2010
Categories: ReportSend feedback » •One of our users Kris-UK met some wrestlers during the WWE European tour and sent us a report.
Kris-UK with Edge & Chris Jericho
Kris-UK with Finlay, Johnny Ace & Layla
Kris-UK Ezekiel Jackson & Maryse
And so the WWE yet again swung into Europe for one of its money-spinning tours.
That meant that I set off to hit a few towns and see what could happen. As per my New Year announcement (the one which I think Lanza said was camp/gay or some such derivative), I scaled down on what I did, meaning I was done and dusted before the TV tapings - which is where you normally get the rare names/agents/obscurities.
My goals going into the tour were unusually modest - I only needed to meet about ten new names in total, and while I didn’t get them all (by skipping TV), I am happy with how it panned out.
In short, I achieved the following:
- Completion of Smackdown…I now have a photo op with every single person currently assigned to the “Blue Brand”
I also picked up a few bits and bobs from Raw..when combining the two brands, I got the following:
- Cena combo (WWE ‘Word Life’ shirted promo)
- Dos Caras Jr photo op (second, after getting him in Florida last month too…Ben and I were only people to get him in the city we did)
- Christian photo op (just because he was there)
- Maryse photo op (only Ben and I got her…more on that below!)
- Tyson Kidd photo op (final Hart Dynasty member that I needed)
- Edge (two photo ops, his auto to complete a WWE promo signed by Christian, and a further one in the Ency)
- Ezekiel Jackson photo op (again Ben and I were the only two people to get him before he no sold everyone else…day before he got injured)
- Layla combo (WWE Ency auto)
- Serena photo op (second, after getting her first in Florida last month)
- Jack Swagger photo op (second, after getting him first in November 2008)
- Finlay and Johnny Ace photo op (how random - Ace at a house show hotel!!!)
- DH Smith photo op (upgrade on my first from October 2007)
- Tony Chimmel photo op (final person I needed to get a “full house” on Smackdown)
- Chris Jericho combo (WWF Undisputed Champ ‘both belts’ promo)
- Ron Killings photo op (third, as last two were a bit poor in terms of how they came out)
- Rey Mysterio (photo op, WWE ‘nine masks’ promo, WWE ‘red pants’ promo, WCW ‘aged 19 and masked’ promo, Ency…all as the full “Rey Mysterio 619″…who needs $100 dollar “Rey 619″ combos?!?!?)
- Kane (two autos…first on an old WWF masked Kane promo, the other in the Ency)
The key point was that this could have been so much more fruitful in terms of quantity, but it has got to the point that I see no real point in getting the tired, same old faces - as I say my “stalking” career is pretty much done, apart from the odd date here and there.
You’ll still see me at conventions for a show or two yet though as there are still some good names that are coming out over in the US.
And finally…"How cool is that?” moments - a tribute to Class316:
- Layla asked what aftershave I was wearing…I am sure Daivari would have liked me too haha!
- Maryse only did pics with Ben and I…and only because I asked her in French (thanks to the tip someone gave on here! She heeled when the vultures then flocked in…asking in English
)
- I led a mini photo op session with Edge for half a dozen friends, telling him where to stand and so on. The next morning when another friend wanted a pic, which I took, he referred to me as “picture man” - maybe a job with WWE is on the cards for me?
