Finally...my first Post

[KYR]

Greetings to all

Some time ago, LC posted a request for a bit of background info from the new members so I thought I would introduce myself in my first post.

I live in Australia and have been an avid wrestling follower since childhood.

From the early days of World Championship Wrestling in Australia (which, as most of you know, is where Georgia Championship Wrestling got the WCW name), I grew up with Killer Kowalski, Mark Lewin, Spiros Arion (the Golden Greek as he was known then), Killer Karl Kox (OMG Not, the Brainbuster!), Jack Brisco, Mr Fuji, Waldo von Erich (loved how he used to spit when he talked – usually much to the disdain of the interviewer – no relation to THE von Erichs btw), Bulldog Bob Brower, Tex McKenzie, King Curtis, Skull Murphy, Brute Bernard, Lord Alfred Hayes, Haystacks Calhoun, Big Bad John, Ray Stevens, Abdullah the Butcher, Billy Dundee (to name just a few) – all gracing my TV screen every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

I would watch together with Australian wrestling’s greatest fan at the time – my grandfather.

By the mid 70’s, wrestling had disappeared from Australian screens (no cable back in those days) and it wasn’t until the first Wrestlemania that Australia got some exposure to wrestling again.

Free-to-air TV picked up on the hype only mildly (generally all we got was a weekly WWF Superstars one-hour package for the week and usually at 11.00pm) until eventually, wrestling once again disappeared from our screens. The Internet wasn’t around and good luck finding a wrestling mag anywhere. My only hope was for the odd Video/DVD release months/years after the event.

With the advent of cable/satellite TV in the 90’s, Australian fans finally got what they had been after for so long – regular wrestling on our TV. And what a time for it to happen – Monday Night Wars, Attitude Era – WOW.

With the Cable & the Internet came the thirst for more information, gossip about our favourite wrestlers – which is how I found TPWW.

That was about 8 years ago – and now I’ve finally joined your forum – don’t want to rush these things.

I feel like I have known most of you for years – and in a way I have. Yes I have formed my own opinions on most of you, no I don’t always agree with everything everyone says, but hey, how boring would that be if we did.

The one common element we all share is that we have a passion for the wrestling business – even when we may currently hate the product – why else would we be in this forum. We love to watch, we love to discuss. We get high when we get a whiff of a former star’s imminent return – and yes, mark out like a teenage girl when he does. Why? Because we DO love the business.

As much as most have some negative things to say about the business at the moment, I believe that most would be very sad indeed if there was no product to watch/discuss at all. It may be cool to dis a product or a wrestler at any point, but gee, I’d much rather have RAW/Smackdown!/ECW on my screen than re-visit the dark days of my adolescence when I didn’t have any wrestling to speak of on my TV for about 20 years.

Hope I haven’t rambled on too long. I hope you will welcome me into your forum. I hope I can add some sensible input. I will not always agree with everything you may say, but I will always respect your freedom to say it – yes even you KK.

[IC Champion]

Aren't you friends with someone from here?

[Loose Cannon]

welcome to the forum. I already like you as you seem to be old school. Let me ask you this, are you a fan of LC?

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Good first post. Welcome :y:

[KYR]

Aren't you friends with someone from here?

The only person I "know" or have corresponded with was Xero, who helped get my account activated.

[Nark Order]

Welcome man, we got some other aussies that post here as well.

[Funky Fly]

[Crossrine]

Ya the sig took me forever to load, but you seem smarter than the average bear. Salam :wave:

[KYR]

welcome to the forum. I already like you as you seem to be old school. Let me ask you this, are you a fan of LC?

I would hate to alienate any forum members in my first thread by saying who I am a fan of by inadvertently omitting a name from my list.

In most cases, I do find worthwhile comments from most members to varying degrees (yes, there are some who's comments I will occassionally not bother reading).

But just for you, yes LC, I am a fan.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Mmmmm.....Salami. Sooo hungry right now

[KYR]

Resize your sig, buddy.

Welcome and shit.

Ya the sig took me forever to load, but you seem smarter than the average bear. Salam :wave:

Oops. Sorry Guys. Will do.

[Kane Knight]

Your post was too long. I'm assuming it has something to do with Val Venis winning the Heavyweight Championship.

...Too soon?

[IC Champion]

Welcome, and I hope you enjoy TPWW.

P.S. I hate Xero.

[Innovator]

Finally a new guy who isn't retarded

P.S. Bret Hart is a drooling douche.

Too long? By two letters maybe? :)

Oh and just because I live in the same city as 'Noid doesn't mean that I'm naturally a Morley Mark...avatar should give some clue as to who I'll mark out for.

[Inadequacy]

Oh and just because I live in the same city as 'Noid doesn't mean that I'm naturally a Morley Mark.

So it isn't something in the water...

[BigDaddyCool]

Go to hell jobber. :foc:

Go to hell jobber. :foc:

Yep. Been expecting it.

Respect is earned and I'll bide my time.

See you in 20,000+ post's time :wave:

I didn't know you were from the same city.

Though it does disprove the notion of a failing education system being responsible for him.

I think your name is a better indicator of who you'll mark out for. ;)

Though my name's a poor indicator. As is my Avatar, really.

[FourFifty]

Yeah, when you are there I'll have 100,000,000. Jobber :mad: I won the internet!!!!!!!


Can I borrow a cup of internets?

[BigDaddyCool]

Can I borrow a cup of internets?

No, get your own. :mad:

[Xero]

Can you lend me a jar of love?

[Blitz]

[El Fangel]

FUCK!

[thedamndest]

Welcome. There's a potluck this Friday, we've pretty much got all the dishes covered but if you wanted to bring plates and napkins that would be great.

[CSL]

I got £10 on the 'new' guy's optimism being crushed in a month.

Stop stealing my font. :mad:

Only when you give me back my quote button. Biatch.

Take your fucking quote button, you stole my font color. :mad:

[CSL]

Fair enough

[Nark Order]

I see what you did there.

What the heck. I've got broad shoulders...you're on. :)

[Shadow]

Yeah I already hate you.

Sorry...I just hate you.

[CSL]

Now that's just not very nice

[thecc]

Supnm. ASL?

[KYR]

Yeah I already hate you.

Sorry...I just hate you.

Sorry? What's you're name?



IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!


But seriously, doesn't bother me whether you like me or not. Yeah, I hate some people on this site as well. That's the advantage of anonimity. But hey, it won't stop me from reading your posts.

[Fignuts]

Casual forum is full of homosexual nazi demons. You'd better stay here.

[Shadow]

Sorry? What's you're name?

See I was right in my hatred.

Or....rather my indifference. Take your pick.

[Nark Order]

I'll take a Rock mark over a Jeff Hardy mark any day of the week.

Death will come to your family soon.

[Fignuts]

No, it really won't.

[Shadow]

Well soon is such a realitve term.

[FourFifty]

I'll take a Rock mark over a Jeff Hardy mark any day of the week.

You were AWESOME in the Goldust thread, but... uhhh...
I'm gonna take a Jeff Hardy mark over a Rock mark for one reason.
Jeff Hardy is still a wrestler. This is NOT about me taking Shadow's side (all due respect to ya btw) but at least Jeff Hardy was never in a piece of crap Disney movie.

[Impact!]

Clearly you haven't seen High School Muscial 2

There's a better reason. The Rock doesn't have access to all the good drugs. Sure, he's got money, but Jeff has a nation of connections.

[BigDaddyCool]

Ah, soooooo...does that mean KK>BDC ?:wtf:

No, KK is a nerd with nothing better to do than post all day. I on the other hand have my post count due to old fashioned spam waves and hard work. Fact of the matter is BDC>everyone.

[Kane Knight]

I dunno. Author>Accountant.

[BigDaddyCool]

I written a book about zombies. I'm an author too. Plus my brother is an English major, which means he will be an author, if he ever gets around to it and I am supior to him in everyway. So BDC>everybody.

Plus, don't you need to fight with Alieniod?

[Kane Knight]

Yes...Zombies. Zombies are fun.

[BigDaddyCool]

Actually I'm reworking it because it kinda trailed off...so i'm going to make it look more like a journal and that will explain why it trails off, or some bullshit. I don't know, I'm an accountant that wants to kill zombies.

[Kane Knight]

It's kind of a clichéd literary device, but if it includes zombies, you're probably not going for the great American novel.

[BigDaddyCool]

It's kind of a clichéd literary device, but if it includes zombies, you're probably not going for the great American novel.

The great American novel usually sucks.

[BigDaddyCool]

That and I have nothing of interest to say but think for yourself, and don't wait for others to do things because they suck.

[Kane Knight]

The great American novel usually sucks.

Which is why it usually doesn't sell well. :shifty:

[BigDaddyCool]

Which is why it usually doesn't sell well. :shifty:

You know, that isn't the problem for it not selling. American's don't read. Some can't, others simply refuse to read anything as long if not longer than an Alienoid post. Which leaves only the writers readed their own books.

[Kane Knight]

Naw. It's just that Americans only read Grisham or the Da Vinci Code or Harry Potter.

Poor 'Noid. Even for free, nobody reads his work. :'(

[Fignuts]

Just watched transformers again, and GOD DAMN is starscream badass.

do, do you have a positive opinion of me?

[KYR]

With classics such as:

Man, that was scarier than KK's last pajama party

...I find that entertaining.

[YOUR Hero]

Ok, so this guy is old. I like him.

[YOUR Hero]

Oh and...

Shadow, piss off.

[Kane Knight]

Ok, so this guy is old. I like him.

Did you serve together on Noah's Ark?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Did you serve together on Noah's Ark?

That was a little after Hero's time in the service KK

[Kane Knight]

By a couple weeks...AWWWW SNAP!

[Shadow]

Oh and...

Shadow, piss off.

If I told you to bite me you'd probably ban my ass. But if I don't defend myself, I lose points in my eyes.

I'll go with another way.

Go draw on a cave.

[El Fangel]

YOUR Hero

Go fuck yourself

Sincerely,

Shadow

:shifty:

[YOUR Hero]

Shadow, you're an idiot. You jumped on this new guy for no reason. His post was polished and well written, yet 'you don't like him'.

Shut up.

If you can't like a guy like that, then you're not going to get along with anybody. If that's the case, then shut up.

I don't ban people for disagreeing with me, but nice try tying me to someone else.

[KYR]

Ok, so this guy is old. I like him.

OK. Yeah I was born in the 60's, but I'm not quite ready to retire just yet ;)

[El Fangel]

YOu may be in the top 3 for oldest posters here. Except the guy in my sig, thats Kane Knight. He is 92
