Christian Details His Meeting With Screech From Saved By The Bell

– During a recent edition of E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness (wrestlinginc.com), Christian spoke about meeting Screech from Saved By The Bell at a WrestleMania, and how the meeting didn’t go smoothly…

“I met Dustin Diamond once from Saved By The Bell and I did call him Screech. I almost got into a big argument with Screech… So, we were at WrestleMania in Anaheim [California], whatever number that was. We stole the show, that’s all that matters and yeah, we got richer. So we were walking backstage earlier in the day. Like, I’m a huge Saved By The Bell [fan]. I love cheesy, corny, like, TV shows, right? So I was a huge Saved By The Bell fan, still am. So I see Screech there, so I’m like, ‘man…’ I walk up to him and say, ‘excuse me, Screech. Man, I’m such a big fan of you and the show.’ And he turns around and goes, ‘Yeah, okay,’ and he turns back around and was kind of a dick. And he’s backstage at our show. So, [Edge] kind of goes, ‘hey,’ so [Edge], who is a bit of a hothead here, he goes, ‘hey, mother effer,’ he goes, ‘he’s not trying to be a dick! He loves Saved By The Bell. He’s a huge fan!’ And Screech goes, ‘oh man, I’m sorry. I thought you were making fun of me.’ I was like, ‘no, I wasn’t.’ So then, we started talking to him and we kind of hit it off and had a pretty funny conversation, and that was that. That’s my Screech story.”
