Back in 1999 I had just moved to Raleigh, NC and decided to take a PT job working security at the brand new RBC Center. Among working many Carolina Hurricanes games, I worked the first Monday Night Raw at the new arena. I was lucky enough to work the locker room door during the event, and I was ecstatic! I was able to get an inside look at the backstage personas of the wrestlers and even chatted with a few who went out of their to speak to me. One that sticks out is the Big Boss Man(RIP), he was highly personable and very friendly. Throughout the night I was professional and didn't ask anyone for their autograph or openly gush. When the event ended, the promoter took note of my professionalism and handed me a sheet along with a sharpie and said to catch a few coming from their locker room for autographs. Here is the result:
Triple H was far from talkative, but I am glad that he did sign. I don't remember Mr. Ass or Road Dogg, mainly because I was awaiting the one highly desired sig. The Rock came out and I askd him to sign and he graciously did with a smile. He then asked me what K.Y.R. meant, and even though I watched wrestling religiously, I couldn't come up with the answer being so starstruck. He had to tell me that it meant "Know Your Role", he then shook my hand and went on his way. I couldn't ask for a better memento in the autograph mat and how it presents so well.

My understanding is that Tripple H is not a very gracious signer.
In 1999 The Rock was on top of the world and was amazing to watch.
That is a super cool item and thanks for sharing it.
