As for people I actually got to know, the top of that list would be Chris "Skip" Candido, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch and Michael Hayes. For some reason, Kevin Nash always recognized me, always thought I was crazy (likening what I did to being a Grateful Dead fan)but we always got along. One of my favorite photos is one of he and I in Binghamton NY which he signed "Thanks for pulling me from the foxhole in 'Nam". <BR/><BR/>Remind me to share a story of Nash and Scott Hall stealing a couple cases of beer out of my car that belonged to Michael Hayes. It's pretty funny.<BR/><BR/>And while I'm sure security is tighter these days, my secret to getting backstage at shows then was to leave the show before the last match started and to always wear a suit. I never had a pass, but what security guard is going to think that a fan would miss the main event and dress formally? It worked at least a dozen times.Joshua Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646450293653214279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1546665963755719151.post-8979606274051735862007-02-12T20:44:00.000-04:002007-02-12T20:44:00.000-04:00Wow, I love how you were able to connect with the ...Wow, I love how you were able to connect with the WWF like you did.
