1). How long have you watched wrestling? (If it's "off and on," include only the total of "on" years)

I'd say roughly 22 years.

2). What is your first memory of professional wrestling?

Seeing Hacksaw Jim Duggan come out and squash a jobber on tv at a friends house which he'd taped can't remember which show it was from.

3). Who was your first favorite wrestler?

Bret Hart

4). Who is your favorite wrestler now?

The Rock

5). If your favorite wrestler is not currently working, who's your favorite active wrestler today?

Randy Orton

6). What is your favorite match?

Shawn Micheals vs The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25.

7). What is your favorite moment in wrestling history?

I'd be hard pressed to chose one but if had to pick I guess I would say when The Miz cashed in MITB on Randy Orton I marked out like a little bitch lol.

8). Have you ever stopped watching? If so, what made you stop? What made you start back up?

Yes I briefly got out of it while I was a senior in high school making the transition of going to college his was honestly when the product sucked big time anyway before the infamous screwjob.

9). On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a mark are you? (10 = Little Jimmy, 1 = Vince McMahon)

5 I suppose there are moments but for the most part I would consider myself to be a somewhat average for my age I guess.

10). Describe some of your markish tendencies from when you were younger, and/or some that still manifest from time to time.

Used to go nuts over finshing moves and high risk maneuvers that's about it.

11). Did you start off as a mark? If so, how long didn't you know about the nature of the business? If you started watching with the knowledge that it's fixed, what drew you to it?

Knew it was fake the moment I started watching it a 9 years old guess I enjoyed watching it for all the bumps and the whole choreographed apsect of it intrigued me.

12). How many live events have you attended? Which ones? What are some of the differences you experience when watching on television, as opposed to in the arena?

I've been to 3 televised events (2 RAWs and 1 SD) and at least 6 house shows and I find there not all that different other than getting more into the crowd mentality and getting a better appreciation of their craft although I will say it's strange not to hear any commentary while observing it heh.

13). Who is your least favorite wrestler, and why? (Any time period)

Matt Hardy cuz I think he's a complete and utter tool.

14). What was, in your opinion, the stupidest/worst moment in wrestling?

There are plenty of those but i'd have to say Mae Young giving birth to a plastic hand takes the cake.

15). Who is the WORST wrestler? (If other than your least favorite)

Of those who ended up the going the furthest Scott Steiner without a doubt but a least he made me laugh even if it was unintentional.

16). Who is the BEST wrestler? (If other than your favorite)

Chris Jericho

17). Choose 5 adjectives to describe the qualities of a successful wrestler.

Desire
Skill
Charisma
Marketable
Intensity

18). What key factors make the difference between being bored with a match and blown away by it?

The pace can make it or break it if it drags for too long at too many points then I am so not gonna get into it and hope for it to end.

19). If you had the power to start your own wrestling company, and the power to hire any five wrestlers to spearhead your roster, who would they be? (Feel free to include past wrestlers in their primes)

I'd want my company to have a very international flavor so these would be my top picks from around the world:

The Rock
Chris Jericho
Kenzo Suzuki
Mistico
Steven Regal

20). (This is stolen from another thread) Finally, if Vince McMahon and/or Dixie Carter (or any other authority in wrestling) asked you for one minute of advice, what feedback would you deliver with the highest priority?

To not abandon the older fans when it comes to their product they are the ones usually buying the tickets and represent a fair amount of their viewership so they should try to make it appeal more to all rather than just the kiddies mind I must admit they have improved in this regard a little bit as of late but there is still room for improvement nonetheless.
