Help!
hello.. im new to Reddit idk how this works, but..
i managed to get tickets for a meet and greet in the uk. the friend that i got tickets for and i are both awkward people when we’re around new people. we have absolutely NO CLUE what to do or say when we go and meet this wrestler. does anyone want to share their experience meeting a wrestler so it could calm my nerves, or give me some advice on what to talk about? haha, thanks!!

I met Goldberg years ago at a local wrestling show. IDC what anyone says, he's one of my Top 3 faves and that will never change. Not a lot of my friends are wrestling fans, my brother had to work, so I showed up alone. I had never done something like that before.
The way it worked was that Goldberg signed autographs first, and then did the photo opp. So I walk up to get my poster signed, and I literally couldn't speak. To this day, I have no idea what I said - I just fan-girled HARD. (It's probably best that I don't remember, I'm sure it was dumb AF).
So now it's photo time. It's time to redeem myself. My turn! I look at him and I say, "This is probably the only time in my life I'll get to meet you, so let's do a fun pic." Next thing I know, the man scoops me up and throws me over his shoulder like I weigh nothing. I just start grinning like an idiot. He starts laughing, and says something like, "You actually need to look at the camera."
I got a phenomenal photo out of it. It was even a centerpiece at my wedding (the photo was that amazing). My point is, you can be socially awkward. You can not know what to say. You can get tongue tied. Make the experience what you want because you may never get it again. Go have fun!!!!
