[Xero]

Hello, my good friend. Thank you for this opportunity to speak my mind.

1. Who in the current WWE roster really makes you want to "fast-forward" to the next segment?
Aksana. I think I've seen one full segment of hers since she returned as Teddy Long's bitch. Jinder Mahal is another one. Just another brown person who uses the Camel Clutch.

2. What was your favorite match this month?
Hm, I'd have to go with Ziggler vs. Punk. Honestly, most of them this month could qualify, but I'll just go with the Rumble match. Just great wrestling all around between those two.

3. Is there anyone in particular in wrestling that you think has the potential for greatness?
I think Dolph Ziggler is going to be big in a few years. I feel he has the staying power needed to actually make a run at the top for a good long time.

Someone who's not on the mainstream radar is Sami Callihan. The first indy show I went to a few years ago he really caught my eye. I really love his style, he has a great look and a shit load of charisma. Unfortunately his size will hold him back. But he has the potential.

4. If you could give one piece of advice to the owners of TNA and WWE what would it be?
Make every match, segment and card matter in some way. If it's just there because you need to "fill time", you have too much time and need to cut it down.

5. What poster here do you think has the most in common with you as far as your opinions on wrestling go?
Hmm, this one's a tough one. Honestly, I feel myself and Lara Emily have a pretty good connection in this regard, as she and I tend to see the flaws most people miss/ignore.

Xero:

1. what is your take on the present state of the wrestling forum, particularly the quality of the regular posters?

2. same question but instead of the forum the present state of wrestling?

For The Destor:

1. what is your take on the present state of the wrestling forum, particularly the quality of the regular posters?
It's been going downhill. There are some good new posters, but for the most part long-standing members are the ones that bring the quality.

2. same question but instead of the forum the present state of wrestling?
I think wrestling, right now, is the hottest it's been since the Attitude Era. That isn't to say it's on that level, but from 2005-2009 it felt stagnant. It feels like WWE is growing in a decent direction when it comes to their up and comers and they're definitely seeing the light on some issues.

TNA I won't comment on as I barely pay attention, but I do think that the Ring Ka King thing is a good thing and is allowing TNA to branch out internationally and establishing a secondary brand that is a world in itself, something WWE would never do. It's definitely something to watch, not only for Ring Ka King but if they decide to branch out to other territories.

As for the Indies, with iPPV growing strong it's definitely a new dawn for that part of the industry, and with the internet they're allowed to branch out and be known in more productive ways than ever.

So yeah, it's a really good time to be a fan because so much is so easily accessible (versus, say, tape trading) and there's a lot of good stuff out there on multiple levels.

[Destor]

interesting insight, thank you kindly.

1. Am I one of the new posters that is completely awesome? LOL j/k..

On a serious note, seems like you're really into wrestling besides WWE. And to be quite honest, I'm not too familiar with much of anything else (besides awful TNA). Seen these terrible ads for "Midget Wrestling" (WTH?) and "Urban Wrestling" (After Royal Rumble PPV). Question is-what are some good wrestling companies that you feel bring forth a lot of quality and where can I watch their stuff at?

[Nicky Fives]

1. David Otunga...... he's turrible.....
2. Punk/Ziggler..... not many great matches this month to choose from.....
3. There are quite a few, but my personal favourite is Drew McIntyre (but Cody, Sheamus, Barrett & Ziggles are also the future)
4. WWE: Establish a decent Tag Division
TNA: hire bookers who can book a decent television show
5. I have no idea..... only person I can think of is Jura.....

[Juan]

Thanks, Xero

[Lock Jaw]

Did not know Nicky Fives was a Xero sock. Total swerve.

Xero just admit you know that Sid shitting his pants is a fucking LIE and lets move on.

2. What is your best WM moment?
3. If you were stranded on an island, which WWE Legend would you want to be stuck with and why?

5. If you could give one piece of advice to an up and coming poster as myself, what would that be?

[Swiss Ultimate]

I don't follow too closely in terms of the Indy scene, but Dragon Gate and especially EVOLVE (which are now technically one) are my favorite Indy-level promotions with a lot of good wrestling, especially on the EVOLVE side.

Sid shit his pants the weekend before WrestleMania 13 in a match with The Undertaker.

3. The Big Show, so he can easily get coconuts for me.

1. 1996 I loosely started following WCW, then when 1997 hit I moved over to watching WWE. I started watching religiously probably summer of 1997.

2. I'm okay back to the beginning of the WrestleMania era with gaps, mostly WWF.

3. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

4. Crunchy Cheetoes and a Slurpee.

5. EVOLVE

6. Honestly, I can't think of any.

7. Your place or mine?

8. The Piledriver, The DDT and The Lion Tamer

9. I don't.

[FourFifty]

In response to two of your answers- First off, my place. It's an easier commute for me.

Secondly, no WCCW or AWA love with ya?

[Xero]

I honestly have very little knowledge of anything outside of WWE, WCW, TNA and ECW. Though I do now remember that the UWF would be the one.

[FourFifty]

No response to my first one?

[Xero]

OMW.

[FourFifty]

Maybe you call a few days in advance so I can get the house clean...
Maybe you bring a blazer so we could go to a wider range of restaurants....
