I will never come down for anything the World's Gym in Tewksbury, MAever

I just wanted to send a report from the Hogan signing PWInsider.com > promoted> the other day. After reading about it, I convinced 4 buddies to take off> work and drop all their plans to do this trip, and surprisingly enough, it> came together. We were a little nervous about things, thinking it would be> too good to be true, so we made some calls to the place with some simple> questions... how much, is there a limit, can we get pics, is this open to> the public? well the answers I got on the phone were 100% the opposite of> how things actually went down.>

I was told autographs would be free, which was half true I guess, but they> urged everyone to buy some stupid 3rd anniversary World's Gym shirt, that> "would be the only item Hulk would sign"... which also wasn't true. No one> knew anything about a limit or not, so there wasn't any falsifications> there. I was told we could DEFINITELY get pictures taken with him, not > just> of him... which turned out to be completely false, as he barely even ended> up looking up at you while signing, let alone to take a picture with > you...> I was also told this would be open to the public with no membership> privileges. Again, a total lie. "VIP" members, who had to do nothing more> than know a security guard, got to go in ahead of the public, and the> security didn't even take their VIP passes, allowing everyone to either go> through again before the public, or sell their VIPs for close to nothing > to> random people, again screwing the "public" that this was open to.>

On top of all of this, I have NEVER had such a horrible experience with> security in my life. Never have I had security actually physically push> people out of the line. Seriously, of the 7 people in my group, two of my> buddies, AND MY 51 YEAR OLD MOTHER were physically pushed out of the line> while trying to take pictures of Hogan. This was absolutely the worst> display of an autograph signing I've ever seen, and if it weren't for the> fact that I finally met Hulk Hogan after chasing him for close to 22 > years,> this trip (an 8 hour trip at that) would have never been worth it. I will> never come down for anything the World's Gym in Tewksbury, MAever puts on> again. Absolutely unprofessional, and totally disorganized, with tons of> misinformation.>

Meeting Hogan made it all worth it, but like I said, the way they handled> this ordeal today makes me never want to deal with the state of> Massachusetts again>
