Autograph guests (Who, when where and why?)

[99goals]

If you were to have an autograph guest at a sportcard show, who would you pick and why? I am interested to hear what people would say given the rules below.

Here are the rules to this question.

1. Must be someone who has a strong following and please some information qualifying this guest's popularity.
2. Why would would this guest be a great alternative to traditional autograph guests ( IE Local team favorites or hall of famers)
3. This guest cannot be regional favorite only. Must be able to draw a crowd no matter where they sign in US and Canada.

thanks

Anderson Silva
Georges St. Pierre
The Iron Shiek

You'd be hard pressed to find an athlete that qualifies under your 3 levels of criteria that play for the 4 major sports if you knock out the regional favorites and hall of famers. For example, I wouldn't give a crap if Chris Bosh was signing in Vancouver, nor would I expect most American fans would give a crap that a CFLer was signing somewhere at their show. That really leaves you with borderless popularity attractions like the UFC and wrestling.

Anderson Silva, if you've never had the pleasure of meeting him is probably the greatest signer you can have that works with what he has (he has very limited English, but engages people around him with the fact that he always has a smile on his face, and always makes the effort to treat you with the utmost of respect.

I imagine that given the stories I've heard about GSP, he is the same.

The Iron Shiek would be a blast to have if you can curb his temper and keep him from swearing around little kids...especially the ones that wear Hulk Hogan t-shirts

That one your's funeral bro...Shieky doesn't like Volkoff in real life. For the sake of simplicity and given the amount of people Shiek doesn't like, I'd probably think a solo signing with him is best

I was going to say "who does Sheik like?"

HAWK-PTEWY!
