(Catching up with Michelle Elizabeth AKA Shellie Lepere) Joseph Bruen: Thanks for joining us Shellie! It`s been a long time but let us start from the beginning. Were you fan of wrestling growing up as a kid? Shellie Lepere: It's a pleasure to be here Joe! I was a huge wrestling fan growing up, and am old enough to remember the first Wrestling. PPV as we knew it didn't exist, so we relied on the newspaper, and I remember cutting pictures of Wendi Richter and Cyndi Lauper out

Joseph Bruen: Julie did you grow up in Rhode Island all your life? I know you went to University of Rhode Island for public relations. Julie Dawson: I was born and raised in Rhode Island. I grew up in North Providence, and later moved to Cumberland. So when I meet people, it’s interesting to tell them I grew up in the smallest town, in the smallest state in the country! I went to URI where I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism, public relations and a minor in theater

Joseph Bruen: Were you a wrestling fan growing up as a kid? HHW: Most definitely! My weekends were spent wrestling my older brother around the living room while we watched the NWO take over WCW! I had to learn at a very young age to be quicker than he was because there was no way I could ever escape his sleeper hold. I have dozens of photos of me with Sting face paint and my Randy Savage bash buddy! I grew up watching my favorite superstars and I feel very heavily that they h

Joseph Bruen: Hey Jason thanks for joining us today. How did you first get involved in the world of art? Was it something you always had a passion for as a kid? Jason Casey: I don't remember having a fascination for art until I was about 8. I received my first comic book (Amazing Spider-Man) and began to draw the images in the book as soon as I got home with it. Everything changed for me after that day. I became a rabid collector and would try to replicate all the different s

The Man Behind ComiCONN "A Show for the Fans by the Fans!" Joseph Bruen: Erik thanks for taking the time today. Tell us how you first got involved in the whole comic con scene. Erik Yacko: The entire comic con scene pretty much went hand and hand with collecting comic books over time. From a young child to adult, I attended various shows in size and scale. The convention scene got bigger in my life, as it did in the hobby, after opening my 1ststore in 1996. Over time it just

Joseph Bruen: What was it like as a child in the Greene household? Anthony Greene: It was my mom, dad, sister, and brother. We're from a town right outside of Boston. My mom worked part time in my town's school system and my dad was a full time police officer. Joseph Bruen: Were you always a wrestling fan? Anthony Greene: I've been a fan as long as I could remember. I only ever collected wrestling action figures, other than the occasional Power Ranger. Joseph Bruen: What is y

Joseph Bruen: Vlad thanks for joining us today man. Let us start from the beginning. Tell us about you`re childhood and your first memories of becoming a wrestling fan. Vlad: My earliest memory of wrestling was watching WrestleMania 6. Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior blew my mind as a kid. As a matter of fact, I would watch that on VHS over and over again and never get tired of it. At the time, it was the greatest thing I've ever seen. I knew then that this is what I want to d
