Thanks, Exeter! It was a blast.
Well.... it MAY have helped if I had been in full costume the whole time, but I came up to him unmasked so I could meet him first, then put on the mask and wig. I was already wearing the rest. So, by then IF the mask would have made me less shy due to anonymity, it would have been too late for that anyway. LOL!
Yeah, the belt is my own replica version. I actually have several different replica championship belts. They are not real at all. The real ones that they actually use in wrestling are actual gold, real leather, etc. The replica ones they typically sell are just made to LOOK real.... but honestly, you can't really tell the difference in pictures.
So, I love it. (On a side note: They actually DO sell replica belts that they make EXACTLY the same as the real ones so it basically is like owning your own wrestling championship belt.... but they are really expensive. Since the replica ones they sell LOOK almost identical, they work just fine for me.)
I did the Deadpool/Ric Flair mashup just for Flair. Beyond that, I was Fredpool at that convention. So, yes, I did both costumes in one day. LOL! But, there really wasn't much difference between the two. I just took off the Freddy sweater, glove, and hat, then put on the Deadpool jacket, Flair robe, and Flair wig and grabbed the NWA Championship belt.
The finger broke off of my Freddy glove in such a way that maybe I could have glued it, but it probably wouldn't have worked out very well. It was just one of those plastic Halloween ones. So, it's not like it is very difficult or expensive to replace. So, I threw it out and will get a new one next month.
