I'm flattered but I'm no where near the biggest fan around here. I loved old school NWA and am a fanboy of The Clique (oh and I guess I'm the biggest Lucha fan by default), but that's about it. Guys like Rob or some others who know the world of wrestling, where I can barely stomach Japan or European crap.

TOVO Fact: Tovo loves Mongolian BBQs.

We need some sort of contest.

They have to be a John Cena fan.

Who was the only Cruiserweight Champ never to eat cheese naked on a spinning wheel of death?

wwe#1fan

Why?

Do you want to start a family together?

This might be the first time in the history of stuff where I'm going to point someone to the wrestling forum from the Q&A forum.....

:roll: This should be in the wrestling fourm.

You're not the biggest Lucha fan by default.

Who had the sign?

Dave Wadding

*rimshot*

Yeah, he was the first to come to mind.

HE'S A BILLY GUNN MARK FFS :p

Despite my lack of posting in the wrestling forum, I bet I could make a bid. I enjoy everything. ROH WWE puro, tna, hardcore, you name it, I can find something to like about it.

Challenge extended. And the people who recorded the video who are talking don't count.

omg that was awful

This guy loves his overalls..

Ok serious reasons why I think I'm a super fan (by no means an achievement in retrospect)

I have done the following:

Travelled across the Atlantic ocean 3 times for Wrestlemania (got my ass on tv because of it)

Have seen countless house shows whenever they have been in this country

Meet a huge number of wrestlers got pics and autographs, the picks of the bunch being:

A cane signed by sandman that was used against Steve Corino
An Owen Hart autograph
Bret Hart Auto Graph
A WWF championship belt signed by Foley (who I’ve met twice)
Photo with HBK
I have a Jeff Hardy autp graph/doodle, he did art on all his pics, this one has his with angel wings and a sword going in his heart
Angle Autograph
Rey Autograph
Chris Ben who
There’s loads more, but that’s the highlight list



--

I’ve trained to become a wrestler, and now help promote shows, so I know what goes into a match. From doing that I’ve meet:

Jake the Snake
The Honkey Tonk Man

Got to work in a rumble and did a few minutes with Colt Cabana

--

Being a fan isn’t just about how much you watch, it’s about how far your willing to go with it. I think I’ve gone further than anyone else on here, from the stories I’ve seen.

win.

I saw ECW before it went national..

I met Tommy Dreamer..

I win..

Red Hot Scott

I've been wrestling for 16 years this year. I'm more experienced that half the WWE roster!

I even like Mark Henry

Fignuts ftw

I like Japanese stuff and whatever lucha I see but I don't have the time or money to follow everything now. My following wrestling comes down to whatever I read in the Observer or on the F4W boards and if I think I will like something, I'll check it out.

And I don't exactly know how you rank fans but there are more guys on here a lot more passionate about wrestling than myself. You are probably one of them pal.

Red hot Scott would wait in lines for days for tickets.

It's probably Aleinoid anyway based on his sheer enthusiasm, optimism and ability to sit through any old shit, like the weekend/internet shows.

Who do you wrestle for?

Myself :p

But seriously.

See...

I like my reversal of the single leg crab at 3:08, personally :)

And me taking his head off with a flying clothesline at 1:02

Youtube/any vids don't work at work for me.

I'm asking because I'm wrestling in Newport next month for Nwa:Wales

NWA: Wales is a new one to me, but Celtic Wrestling seems to be the biggest Welsh fed at the mo. Based in the Cardiff/Merthyr areas.

Maybe I'll come watch. What's your ring name?

He should have just gone to work and bought the tickets off a scalper.

Dave Mercy

It's on Friday 29th, I'll get you some more info.

I know of CW, they've got Eugene over soon haven't they.

Must admit I don't know alot about NWA:Wales, the owner of the company I work for set up the gig.

I'll throw my name in this. I'm that guy who was terrorizing WWE PPV's in 2004 with my "HAL" sign.

<img src="http://b4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00230/47/88/230128874_l.jpg">

I've attended 23 WWE PPV's and also will be attending this Sunday's Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 24, attended numerous RAW's, Smackdown!'s, and house shows, met numerous wrestlers over the years, been to a couple of original ECW shows, been going to ROH shows for about a year and a half, attended their first PPV and the recent PPV they taped at The Manhattan Center.

I'm sure I'm not close to being the biggest overall fan here but I like to think I'm pretty big.

lol

Neander Carl, that match, omg. Reminds me of when I was 15 in the gym everyday after school. Good times.

What's your ring name then?

Cool man

<---

Come on!!!

Merthyr is a shithole, but like most shitholes, it isn't as bad as it's made out to be. Some good drinking holes there. It's the sicknote capital of Britain though.

I haven't had the pleasure yet, although I've been in communication with Karl Griffiths (caiman) for a while, I was supposed to train with them years ago when they run sessions in Cardiff, not sure if they still do or not.

Here's the full details:

The doors open at 7pm:

NWA: Wales
Burleigh Academy
Newport Llanthewy Road
Newport
NP20 4LD

Adult tickets are £7.50

That's all I got, I only know 2 other guys on the card, so I can't really tell you how it's going to be as it's my first time wrestling for them.

I'm going to be working with Alex Steele, who used to post on here as King Jericho, we've wrestled at least 20 times now, so I think it will be a tight match, come along if you can and feel free to give me any feedback

I am, look:

CENA! CENA! CENA!

The Mack overcomes the odds once more and takes the win!

LOL, is this the photo I took with my camera off my TV for one of my columns?

and I don't think there is any one great fan on here. Lots of guys are huge fans and show that in different ways.

I agree with LC, I'm the greatest

Nice one... work depending, I'll try be there.

how the fuck would you get a managing gig on the british wrestling scene?

To be a manager:

Get involved with a school, sucks I know, but you still need to, most schools in this country are attached to a promotion, so get in there, pay your dues, even if you’re a manager you are going to need to know how to bump

Just let the trainer/promoter that you want to be a manger and not a wrestler, you will get on shows a lot faster than a trainee wanting to wrestle.

The other way is to be-friend a wrestler and convince him to manage for you.

So basically you become a manager the same way you become a wrestler or a ref, get your foot in the door and work your ass off. Always shut up and listen to your peers, and take everything they give you and come back asking for more.

The easiest way to get on a show is announcing, if you have a decent voice you can get on shows without doing all that stuff

Worked for me!

...until I got shafted on my payment and quit the business after my first show, :lol:

This is the UK wrestling scene, most people get shafted on payments

I'd do it for free.

Although Johnny Devine might hunt me down.

Just a reminder, the show is this Friday night
