WrestleMania week is upon us and with it comes several opportunities to meet hundreds of wrestlers if you're in the New Orleans area this weekend. World Wrestling Entertainment is holding its annual Axxess session from Thursday through Sunday with every superstar appearing as well as some legends too. There's also a Wrestlecon event right nearby featuring a lot of legends like Bret Hart, Sting, Kevin Nash, current TNA star Kurt Angle and many others. In addition to all of that, there are other companies like Ring of Honor and Dragon Gate having events in the area as well. It's cool to meet wrestlers even if you have to pay $30 for a photo to do. Want an autograph too? It might be $50 for those. If you go to Axxess, it costs about $45 to get in, your ticket is good for four hours and there aren't additional charges. Just be careful of the long lines. Sometimes you'll be in line for an hour just to meet one person depending on who it is and the time of day. Will never forget a few years ago when people were in line for Daniel Bryan, then he left and they put Wade Barrett there. Most of the people that waited an hour just left. Angry wrestling fans! For those going to WrestleMania like myself, here's some friendly advice for when you meet wrestlers. It can be used if you meet them at a signing or anywhere else too. A lot of it is common sense, but it's also full of things that the average person may not know if they're not used to going to shows.
