Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring my friends meeting celebrities.
Dennis is one of my convention pals. While we don't see each other often, we usually can count on conventions to meet again. Today though, I feature Dennis at a convention I didn't attend and with a celebrity I never met.
Eric Esch, better known as Butterbean, is a retired boxer, kickboxer, MMA fighter and more. He also had an ill-received match in the WWE. He's also done acting, including starring in the reality television documentary entitled Big Law: Deputy Butterbean, based on his being a reserve deputy sheriff in his hometown of Jasper, Alabama.
Upon retirement due to health issues, Butterbean connected with Diamond Dallas Page who helped him back to health through his DDP Yoga. Page has helped several celebrities and thousands of other folks with his brand of yoga. Butterbean has since announced he unretired.
As for Dennis, I don't see him ever retiring from the celebrity meet and greet game, much like I won't. Until then, our paths will continue to cross and I will always look forward to seeing him.
Butterbean and Dennis in Rosemont, IL-March 2025.
