When WWE and WCW would come to house shows here in Baltimore, I would see a lot of guys at the after hours spots rolling on Ecstasy after the shows. Rey Mysterio, Konnan, and a few others would be fucked up out of their minds. Rey Mysterio is a little chain smoking little bastard. Nice guy though, but most people are when they take ecstasy.
Met Randy Savage Tito Santana, Andre the giant, Ultimate Warrior, Slick, and a few others when backstage at a 1987 WWE show in Landover, MD. They were taping a Saturday Night's Main Event. Hulk Hogan vs. Andre in the main event. I got to go backstage because my dad's friend did the lighting and was a rigger at the Cap Centre. I was 14 years old. As soon as I walked in there was a white limo. The door opened and Randy Savage came out the limo and was walking toward us. Saw Elizabeth right behind him. Randy Savage looked down at me and my little cousin and said in that macho man voice, " How you'all doin?" I don't think I was really allowed to be backstage, though because I got a lot of mean looks from some of the wrestlers. Andre the Giant was fucking gi-nourmous in person! My father still talks to this day about how shocking it was to see such a large human being like that in person. He had the biggest head I have ever seen still to this day.
But it was awesome! Cool Memories.
