Meeting Captain America
On Tuesday my girlfriend and I got the chance to meet Randy Couture at his Cincinnati book signing. It was a day to remember. Not only did I have to climb to top of Cardew Tower (all 49 stories), I got to meet Captain America himself. The event was held at Joseph-Beth bookstore, where Tito had his signing a few months before.
While waiting to meet RandyI was somewhat anxious. We drove more than 4 hrs. to meet this man, a living legend in the sport of MMA. While I am not a fan of Randy’s I due respect him. As each person before us ticked off I got a little bit more giddy. Finally WHAM! There he is, The Natural, Captain America, Randy Couture himself. He looked skinnier in person, and actually looked like he would be a nice grandpa to have. He indeed was quiet spoken and respectful like every has said. Event though he was tired he still showed enthusiasm to meet his fans. When he posed for a picture with me he didn’t stay behind his pedestal or stay seating like some fighters, he actually came from around it and pulled me tight next to him.
After meeting the man I am now a fan of the legend too. Nothing can change your mind more than actually meeting the man.
