Friend Encounters: Scarlett Bordeaux, Killer Kross and Tony

Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.

After a two year absence, Tony will be rejoining me "On the Beat" at the Squared Circle Expo, the best wrestling convention of the year. Happening March 28-28, I am counting the days.

At the last one Tony attended, he met wrestling couple Scarlett Bordaux and Killer Kross. They had a little extra fun with him. Well, really Kross had more fun. When Tony was taking a solo picture with Bordeaux, Kross did some fun photo-bombing. I had to be extra careful to sneak a picture in when Kross stopped. Of course, it was all just fun.

That's the sort of fun at SCX. Every wrestling seems interested in being there, ulike other conventions where guests sometimes seem like they just want to leave. I have never had one bad experience at SCX. In fact, I have had nothing but vey good encounters.

That is a credit to the talent there, but also the promoters who select the wrestler lineup. They work hard to make SCX a fantastic convention and they always raise the bar.

SCX VI runs March 27-28. This couple, actually this trio, will be there, as will I. I am sure Bordeuax and Kross will get many more fans than Tony and me though lol.

I Re-Found Scarlet Bordeaux at Blizzard Brawl 2017

With Great Lakes Championship Wrestling's Blizzard Brawl returning Saturday, December 3, I started doing pre-event coverage. In the process, I found a forgotten gem.

As you have seen over the last 14 years of this site, I have met a lot of celebrities from all fields of entertainment. Occasionally, I have forgotten one. Such was the case with Scarlett Bordeaux.

A native of Chicago, Bordeaux debuted in 2012. Since then, she has wrestled for Luche Libre, Impact and others, including WWE, where she currently is. She ranked 89 of the top 100 female wrestlers in the PWI Female 100 of 2019.

I have been going to Blizzard Brawl in Wisconsin for years. SuperFriend and wrestling promoter David Herro runs a great show and I meet so many wrestlers there, one of whom was Bordeaux, only I completely forgot. Most would think it's no big deal and in the grand scheme it isn't, but i get nutty about these things.

I was talking to a bud about local wrestlers and I mentioned I never met Bordeaux, despite her being fairly available on the wrestling scene on and off over the years. Somehow, she had escaped my camera and me. Then one day, I was reorganizing files on my pc and I came across the Blizzard Brawl folder. There she was.

As most things are with me, this was bittersweet. I am glad I did meet her (and I do remember the actual encounter now), but I wonder if I am forgetting others I met. I'm guessing there are a few, but "then again too few to mention," as the song goes.

I won't go too far with this. I will just be happy I did rediscover the picture with Bordeaux and I will take her name off the list I want to meet.
