7. Honky Tonk Man Gets Me Drunk
Since I had been an online friend of Honky Tonk Man's agent for a few years, we decided to meet in Miami as we'd both be in town for WrestleMania. As we chatted in the hotel lobby, trying to decide where to go, the Honky Tonk Man walks over and chats to us as if he didn't have a care in the world. At this point in my life, I hadn't been around a legendary wrestler when he was just shooting the breeze. Anyway, we went with HTM to get a pizza from Domino's. Honky is a pepperoni man, just incase you're wondering... We ended up chilling with The Greatest Intercontinental Champion Of All Time in his hotel room, drinking Budweiser, eating pizza and listening to him tell stories. Hearing Honky talk about Saturday Night's Main Event, how terrible he was at playing the guitar and the joy he felt when he realised he was on a Hogan card was about as surreal as life gets. I tried to not take too many beers, since I didn't want to be kicked out of the party. Suddenly I get told "I thought you Scots could handle your drink... apparently not". I couldn't sit back and cause the Scottish stereotype to destroyed so I proceeded to drink A LOT of Bud. One hour later and I was hammered with the Honky Tonk Man. A memory I'll never forget...even if I can't remember half of it!
