My first HHH experience was quite an accident if nothing else, actually I can blame it on the weather to be honest. I attended the Huntington WVA House Show on Sunday February 16th and with the rain, snow, sleet, and ice I ended up stranded in the Holiday Inn beside the arena. With all that aside I was fortunate enough to see and speak with some of the Superstars.
I had just checked in and made it back downstairs to get my things when into the lobby walks HHH. I didn't want to be overly obvious and shove myself up in his face but I stood there from behind watching as he checked in. He was approached by many, many people and as the crowd gathered I made my way to the elevator. Luckily that wasn't the last time I saw HHH, he made his way through the crowd to the elevator while I was still there. He smiled slightly as I said "Hi" and he moved to the opposite side of me with his pull case.
There was a "problem" of sorts at the elevator a guy that was stalkerly obsessive kept standing to my left staring at HHH, and HHH asked him nicely to please leave him alone. The guy, intoxicated and rude continued to stare like HHH had a trunk and big floppy ears waiting to be fed peanuts or something. The guy was approached by another wrestler that strongly advised him to leave HHH alone, and frankly I was quite relieved because the guy was just scary, plain and simple. The guy didn't leave but HHH tried to make the best of it when a family came in with a small baby girl and she was waving at everyone, HHH must have made a face or waved slightly I couldn't tell with his head turned from me thanks to the stalker guy, but the little girl's mom asked her if she was going to wave at the man since she was waving at everyone else, and before the little girl could do anything else, HHH spoke. "Mommy I'm not waving at that man, he's got scary hair." It was the cutest thing, big ol' HHH making baby talk, absolutely adorable, and it just showed me so much of his heart for kids. The elevator was then loaded and the stalker guy pushed me out of the way and so I ended up waiting for the second loading, thanks guy.{sarcasm}
To my knowledge, and I was out and about all night at different places in the local area, HHH never left his floor or his room after that until the following morning.
I didn't check the exact time but when I was downstairs to get something from the restaurant HHH along with William Regal exited the elevator wearing a black suit, black dress shirt that was unbuttoned at the collar, and dress shoes as he went to check out and assumably make his way to Ohio for that night's Raw. As I went out to my car and he and William Regal were leaving I smiled at him and they smiled back. Nothing extra great but to be in his presence was enough for me.
