The next morning with two hour of sleep behind us we started the 3 hour journey. With myself, natalie and stephanie in the back of the car the journey from start to finish was a constant buzz of "what if's...". natalie's mam whilst being conned into taking us to Manchester had brought her friend, Christine, with her, determined to enjoy herself aswell.
 

 After the three hour journey we finally arrived at the hotel. As we began to get the bags out of the car, natalie's mam went into the hotel to check us in. Not long after we had vacated the car equipt with all of the baggage Natalie's mam emerged from the hotel with a shout of "GIRLS!!!!! Yous are in luck!!!! all of the wrestlers are in the lobby!" natalie, stephanie and i just laughed and ignored what she had said, thinking she was just fooling around.
 

 We walked into the lobby, with luggage i hand and looked towards the elevator. It was the undertaker. We screamed with excitment and got out our cameras etc. He walked in the direction of a small tunnel which lead to the way out of the hotel so we proceeded to follow him. The tunnel lead to the back enterance where a merry army of fans clustered around the door. i ran straight out of the door to find two executive coaches. The first coach attracted some fans but the front of the second coach was swamped with fans. i was amazed at the response for the second coach and soon saw why...Stone Cold Steve Austin took pride place on the bus, at the front where everyone stood tring to get something signed. I soon departed from natalie and Stephanie realizing that edge was in one of the coaches. I walked to the deserted back of the coach and proped my Edge banner up against the wall and decided to look from there, for fear of getting crushed.
 

 I soon looked up and directly in front of me sat Edge, with christian. I nearly died! i stood for almost ten minutes in silence, thinking, waitng, i didn't know what to to! Soon after i had spotted Edge, Natalie and Stephanie joined me. "LOOK!" i shouted pointing up at the coach.
 

Edge saw me point and waved at us, laughing at my banner for him. I pointed to the door of the coach and asked him to get off and sign my banner. He just smiled and mouthed the words "I'll sign it when i come back!" The coach the had to leave to depart to the arena and as it pulled away i held up my banner. Christian saw it and pointed at edge and laughed as edge sat in the corner embarrased.
 So they left. They weren't expected back until after the event, so for the next 10 hours we went into our room and sat numb with excitment. The 10 hours slowly, but surely past and as the clock struck 10pm we were in the bar. We sat so we had a full view of the door and waited. Around an hour later they came back, all rushing into the lifts, saying they would sign later. Edge never came through the front door, he was on the second coach whichcame into the hotel the secret way.So we went up to our room to get an extra film.  I t was when we came back down the action started.
 

 We walked up to the bar to see Natalies mam and her friend talking to GERALD BRISCO. We went over and had our picture taken with him. we said "hello" and "how are you?" and stuff and all he said was "Hey girls, EDGE is over there!"  Well he didn't have to say that to me twice, i ran over to the part of the bar which was sectioned off for the WWF and began to look for EDGE. When i found him i made Nat and steph stand right near where he was so i couldn't be missed. He was talking to GANGREL and CHRISTIAN when he looked round and i grabbed his attention. I smiled and he smiled back saying "Hey, i'll talk to you later!" I didn't know what to say, i felt so special, so i held out the card i had bought him in front of he and he reached out and took it from me saying "Thank you!" I then decided to leave him to eat in peace and go and pester SHANE MCMAHON who was signing autographs a little way down from where i was standing. I stood with Nat and Steph waiting for his autograph and i got it.
 

 "Natalie your mam is talking to X-PAC!" said stephanie, almost in shock. We ran over but didn't bother him, he was tired and you could really tell! We then got autographs and pictures etc. of STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN, JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER, GANGREL and CHRISTAIN who were all polite and nice. I then decided to go back to where i had given Edge his card. "open your card!" i said to him as he looked and smiled. "i have!" he said and then mouthed the words "THANK YOU!" I smiled and the went to the bar to get a drink.
 

 Then just as i walked away from the bar Edge approached it, so naturally i went over to see him. He stood at the bar and was having a small arguement with the bar staff about taking his meal up to his room. Edge began to get adjitated and a girl who stood next to him said to me "Oh, i wouldn't bother him, he's a little pi**ed off"
i said "oh are you WITH him?"
"oh, no, i wish!" she said smugly
"Edge" i said. He turned around and with a one of his massive grins said "Hey! How are you?"
"i'm fine and you?" i answered
"i'm fine, thanks" He said back. He then got jumped on by aroung 20 fans so i waited until last and got my photo's, autograph book and arm signed. When i asked him to sign my arm he looked confused and said "How long will this stay on?"
"i don't know, maybe 'till the next time you come" i said
"oh........" he said laughing and signing my arm.
"Do u remember me from up at newcastle and my banner?" i asked him in hope, cos i had left my banner in our room.
"Hey, of course i do..."EDGE MAKES ME BROODY", right?" He laughed
"YEAH!" i said happily
"yeah, Road Dogg liked that one!" He laughed again.
 We talked to him for a while untill he confessed he was real tired so i told hi i'd see him in the morning and wished him a good night. I wandered over to where X-PAC was sitting with SHANE and Shane's wife. They were sitting on the table next to where Edge's plate was. I stood for a while debating wheter to jump over the rope and get the ultimate souviner, EDGE'S FORK. Just as i was in favour of it X-PAC came walking towards me.
"X-PAC will you do me a favour?" i asked
"Yeah, sure , aslong as it's not a photograph." He requested
"erm......you see that fork on the plate?" i said pointing to Edge's fork.
"yep!" he answered
"will you get it for me?" i begged.
"no, i'm not getting you the fork!" he laughed as he glared at me in a very parculiar way.
"oh please, it's edge's and i didn't ask for a photo, did i?" i said in a spoilt brat's voice.
"okay then" he said as he walked over picked it up and handed it to me.
"THANK YOU!" i said as i cuddled him tight.
 After a long day we went to bed around 2am and after talking about the night's events and stuff we eventually fell asleep. After around 2 hours
sleep the early morning wake up call came and we jumped
 up and got ready, emerging in the bar for 7am.
I had brought my banner with me to get it signed by
Edge and when we got MICK FOLEY'S autograph he laughed
"Hey, does edge really make you broody?"and
i replied with a smile "Of course!"
We then got autographs and pictures of BILLY GUNN,
NICOLE BASS, THE UNDERTAKER and GANGREL.
 Adam eventually came to the lobby wearing baggieish greeny trousers, a tight grey t-shirt and his sunglasses. He looked truely gorgeous! He went and checked out as about 10 people gathered around him when MICK FOLEY walked past and sang "Edge makes me broody!" whilst looking at my sign and laughing. Adam turned around and laughed smiling at me as everyone around was laughing. i just stood there as red as a tomato. i then got my stomach signed bye him, to which he just grinned madly at, probably thinking i was a bit mental or something!
He then went straight in for his breakfast and i waited in the bar for him. He came out clutching  a muffin of which he stared at not too impressively. "Hmmmmmm........." he mummbled
"you don't look very impressed!" i said laughing.
"what is it?!?!?!?" he asked. i prodded it with my finger and said "oh it's cherry!"
"yuck!" he said screwing up his face.
"Can i have it?" i said jokingly.
"you want it?" he asked?
"yeah" i said still laughing.
"here you go" he said putting it in my hand. I stood for ages just laughing and thinking "why the hell did u ask for it?" Anyway i put it in a plastic bag ang into my bag. We then talked for a while until it was time for him to go. i tried everything to get him to stay but again his response was constant laughter in my direction.
 When he left we returned to the bar and me PAUL BEARER, GILLBERG, TIGER ALI, SABLE, VISCERA, MIDIAN, STEVE BLACKMAN, FARROOQ, DROZ and MARC MERO. We also saw HHH and CHYNA but both refused to stop and sign autographs and when approached for a photograph HHH proceeded to put his hand over his face, so we didn't bother with them.
 

It was the best 2 days of my life!!
