Chances are that you have heard of the TV show Saved by the Bell. On a recent edition of his podcast, Christian shared the story of his backstage encounter with Screech (real name Dustin Diamond). This was backstage at Wrestlemania.

Here is the story from Christian (quote via Wrestlezone):
“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, whatever number that was – we stole the show, that’s all that matters [laughter]. We are walking backstage during the day – I love cheesy, corny tv shows, I was a huge Saved by the Bell fan, still am.
So I see Screech there, so I walk up to him and say, ‘Excuse me Screech, I’m such a big fan of you and the show.’ And he turns around and goes, ‘Yeah, ok.’ And he turns back around and was kind of a dick and he was backstage at our show. So, Adam [Edge] who is a bit of a hot head here goes, ‘Hey Motherfer, he’s not trying to be a dick. He loves Saved by the Bell. He’s a huge fan,’ and Screech goes, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you were making fun of me.’ Then we started talking to him and we kinda hit it off and had a pretty funny conversation.”
