In your mind what are the top five current wrestling companies and how did you discover them?

1 National Wrestling Alliance (http://www.nwawrestling.com)
I actually stumbled on NWA quite happen stance. I was fliping through some channels and found it. I remember I started liking NWA far more then WWE mainly because NWA had the 4 Horsemen...and I thought Ric Flair was the man! I love them today mainly because of Total Nonstop Action...basically it rocks socks as far as the X-Division goes. I honestly think I will always hold my loyalty to NWA. I guess for all the ECW Mutants out there...I am the only NWA Mutant ;)

2 World Wrestling Entertainment (http://www.wwe.com)
I first found out about WWE...or WWF back...um...I honestly can't remember. I always kind of watched it (especially when I was made at my dad since he was a 2 time All American Wrestler, and HATED it). I would guess I started watching in the late 80's...it was my first exposure to pro wrestling...Macho Man Randy Savage was the best. I think I was the only kid to root against Hulk Hogan when Savage and Hogan battled. I basically chose them as my number 2 favorite because I can see them alot...and don't always have a chance to keep up with the others...

3 East Coast Wrestling Association (http://www.ecwaprowrestling.com)
I will admit that I don't know much about them. And yes I realise that ECWA is a sub company of NWA, and I already listed NWA, but NWA is so wrapped up in TNA right now ECWA is basically a company of it's own...so there...anyway I found it becuase I heard so much about the Super 8 Cup tournament then I went to RF Video and bought the first one. Imedeatly I bought all the others. Anything you have heard about Super 8 dosn't do it justice. I love it...though to be honest, that is basically the only thing about ECWA that I know...

4 Ring of Honor (http://www.rohwrestling.com)
I got into it when I heard about AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels involvment. I love Ring of Honor. I love everything it stands for. True it has been going down latly...and true Samoa Joe isn't that great of a Champion...but still the company on a whole does wonderful work....especially with what they have to work with.

5 Major League Wrestling (http://www.mlw.com)
I found MLW while reading Steve Corino's website and he mentioned some matches he had down there. I think they have some very nice work. Not GREAT, but good. I have all the videos they have released and for the most part I would give the :y: to people trying to get their hands on some of the material.

Anyway...those are my top 5 favorite companies...what are your's?

1 WWE
The WWE is number one because so many of my favourites work there. Angle, Benoit, Undertaker, Guerrero, Michaels, Flair, Jericho, London, Christian etc. I first discovered them in 1995 and what really got me hooked was the Undertaker. He was my first real favourite. As time went on HBK and DX and then Jericho have been my favourites.

2 TNA
I first found out about TNA when I would come on this website as a guest. I first saw it on TWC and have loved it since. The X-division rules and guys like AJ, Christopher Daniels, Michael Shane, Jerry Lynn, Low Ki are great.

3 ROH
I first saw ROH on TWC and the first match I saw was London vs AJ vs Low Ki and it was brilliant. I have watched that with great interest ever since. I have seen great match after great match ever since including AJ and Amazing Red vs the Briscoes and Daniels vs Doug Williams.

4 MLW
Saw some adverts on TWC and saw guys like Jerry Lynn, Daniels and Corino so I figured I would check it out. One of the first matches I saw was Daniels and Dick Togo and some other Japanese guy vs The Maximos and soemone else. Fantastic match and I like ROH I try to watch it as much now. Plus Joey Styles commentates.

I don't really watch any other promotions so I only have four wrestling companies that I really like.

1. ROH - Bought a tape of their first show way back in 2002 and I was blown away with Daniels vs American Dragon vs AJ Styles. I was hooked, went to live show back in October and it was amazing.

2. WWE - Don't really remember how I got into the WWE :(

3. NOAH - Just started downloading some stuff quite recently but I love their junior heavyweights.

4. PWG - Only a year old but I think they are the best West Coast promotion out there. Super Dragon is the man and I can't get enough of this promotion

5. NWA TNA - Saw their debut PPV live and thought it was decent. Kinda just watched it because it was the only other promotion that was easy to get a hold of. However I have been enjoying the impact shows.

Hate to correct you...(actually I don't)...but it wasn't Daniels vs. Dragon vs. Styles, it was Daniels vs. Dragon vs. Low Ki. (this is assuming we are both talking about the first ROH Show "The Era of Honor Bgins")

Righto, I always mix up the participants of that one and the triangle match at the first anniversary show.
