Well Lesse here. I'm Blitz. Started watching in 1993. My dad turned myself and my sister onto it. First match I ever saw was Crush Vs some jobber on WWF Superstars. First PPV I ever ordered was King of the Ring '93. First live event I ever went to was October 28, 1993, at Joe Louis Arena. I have honestly lost count of how many live wrestling events I've seen. Notable ones I've been to are Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto, and ECW November To Remember 2000 (Easily the best wrestling show I've ever seen, and also one of the last PPVs the original ECW ran). I'll also be going to Wrestlemania 23 this year.

I went to my first independent show in.....I believe it was '98 or '99. The previous month, my sister and father had gone to see an indy show because the Rock was on it. I didn't want to go because it was "just some little company". After my family returned raving about it, I went to the next show. The company was Border City Wrestling, featuring Scott D'Amore in the main event. While there, we met the owner of the company, Chuck Fader, and after a few shows my sister, father and I began volunteering at the shows, which I still do to this day.

BCW is more or less dead now, but I still work on the "board of directors" for Sin City Wrestling, an offshoot promotion of BCW *cough*ifyou'reinthewindsor/detroitareacheckusoutatwww.sincitywrestling.netnext showMarch25th*cough*(/shameless plug).

I'm less and less interested in WWE nowadays, and am more into indy and Japanese stuff. Currently, my favourite worker is Masato Yoshino, and the best match I've seen in along while was Do Fixer vs Blood Generation at Ring of Honor last March.

My favourite wrestling moments:
1) November To Remember. Took us 7 hours to get to Chicago for the show, and we didn't even know if we'd be able to get tickets. We ended up getting the most perfect seats possible, first row before the balcony on the hard camera side. The show was fantastic, and it's still the best crowd I've ever seen at a show.

2) WM18. November to Remember is my favourite crowd, but this one was just huge. The live atmosphere for Rock/Hogan was astounding.

3) BCW International Incident, where NWA champ Raven lost the title to Jeff Jarrett. Pretty awesome to see our little promotion get some international attention

4) Going backstage at a WWE event. A friend of the family works for the fed, and hooks us up with tickest for shows. He's also taken us backstage a few time, and it's always interesting. Because of him, I've had the opportunity to meet a bunch of favourites, including Chris Benoit, RVD, Eddie Guerrero (who was obviously stoned out of his mind at the time

), and Steve Austin. Also, you have no idea how big the Big Show's really is. His hands are honestly the size of Frying pans.

5) Bret Hart at a BCW show. Amazing pop for his appearance, unfortuanetly, due to the general craziness of the day, I never got to meet him

So there it is. My life in wrestling.
