Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.
John D. is another friend I met through conventions. I always look forward to seeing him at a wrestling show, comic con or other such event
It was at a wrestling event earlier this year that John met Nickla Roberts, best known for her stint in pro wrestling as Baby Doll. Roberts was involved in several big storylines with Tully Blanchard, Dusty Rhodes and the Four Horsemen. Roberts was married to former wrestlers Sam Houston (half-brother of Jake Roberts). Roberts has since remarried.
Usually I am envious of the folks John meets, but this time I am okay, but only because I met her at the same eevnt. Roberts looked great and was very engaging with fans. The same could be said for John, too.
The event was a fan fest hosted by Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling. Led by Herb Simmons, SICW holds several events during the year, culminating in the big fan fest. This was the first one I attended, but it won't be the last.
