Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring my friends meeting celebrities.
This picture is bittersweet. It features two of the best folks I know. Unfortunately, it was taken at an event I was supposed to attend, but was knocked out with the flu.
Tony and I have a similar mindset about wrestling and wrestlers. We have exposed each other to wrestlers we knew and liked separately apart from each other. Nearly every time, the other of us felt almost exactly the same way.
One such example was Regan Lydale. I have known Regan from the RPro days, when she was a fan of Tommy Else and the company. She always wanted to be a wrestler and over the last several years, she worked very hard to make that goal a reality. Now, she is one of the top rising stars on the Chicago area scene. Actually, I shouldn't limit her. She's wrestled in other states. I believe sje actually won a title in a couple other states.
Needless to say, Tony immediately became a fan, citing the same reasons I like her. She's excellent in the ring (especially for being so young). She's hugely popular with fans. She's got a great look and an engaging personality.
I should have been in this picture, but there will be other times. I better hurry though. Regan is bound for bigger things.
