Squared Circle Expo VI was another amazing event. SCX continues to raise the bar for great conventions and not just wrestling cons. SCX is among the best of any convention.
One of the many guests Tony and I wanted to meet was Stevie Ray. Laslon Steven Huffman is the older brother of Booker T, with whom he formed the great Harlem Heat tag team. Together they won the WCW tag tiles 10 times. Stevie Ray also had some success outside of WCW, but it was there which really put him and Booker T into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019.
Obviously, we knew he was a big man (billed as 6'5" and 292), somehow he seemed even bogger. The man is 68 and his is almost as thick as Tony and me together. His arms are huge, too.
One thing that makes these encounters special is when the celebrity is into it and Stevie Ray was. He was very engaging and seemed delighted to meet so many fans. He initiated extra conversation with us, which is always welcome.
This also speaks to the folks who run SCX. While Stevie Ray went above and beyond, I have never had anything near a bad encounter at SCX. The promoters to a great job with bringing in the right people. So kudos to Steve and to the SCX folks.
