New Posters: Let's Chat Wreslting

[Blitz]

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.

[Xerzes]

I'm Xerzes, and I watch professional wrestling. (Hi, Xerzes! *group hug*)

Started watching WWF in June-July 1994, and realized WCW existed a month or two later. Couldn't tell you the first match I saw of either. It was a few years before I attend a live event, and I've only been to three. Two WWF, one WCW. Of the WWF events, one was during one of Warrior's returns, so he was near the top of the card. Was probably the event with Legion of Doom and Undertaker against the Nation. Don't remember which three members it was. The other was headlined by Bret and Austin, so they put on a damn fine show. The WCW event was a Thunder taping, and it was probably sometime in late 1999 because it sucked. Opened with Vampiro and Crowbar, easily the best match of the night. Sometime around the middle we got to watch a pre-recorded interview with some whore I didn't pay attention to, which they accidentally showed the first thirty seconds or so of a pre-recorded section of the Tank Abbott/Norman Smiley match for the Hardcore title. As that match hadn't happened yet, it looked quite silly later on when they showed us the same outdoor part again after they'd fought their way out of the ring and to the back somewhere. Ended with Jarrett and the NWO doing boring, shitty things, and Terry Funk ended up waddling to the back after the cameras stopped rolling, with his pants around his ankles. I no longer recall why Terry Funk had his pants around his ankles. That's probably a defense mechanism.

I'm not sure I can still claim to like much of anything in the current product. There are parts with potential, of course, but none of them really seem to pan out. Nonetheless, I still watch Raw, "ECW", Impact, and Smackdown. Every now and then I remember to turn to one of my Spanish channels on Sunday afternoon and watch some AAA. Sadly, my Spanish sucks, so my understanding of it, and of why there are so many triple tag matches, is vague at best.

So, with all this melancholy aside, I'll probably be back to monosyllabic words being used to make fun of future WrestleCrap inductees by my next post. Hooray?

[Astley316]

Im Astley 316, i started watching wrestling when they showed Summerslam 92 on sky movies. I was hooked instantly and the first match i ever really remember is the Bret hart brittish bulldog match for the Intercontinental title. I watched it religously til about 2005, when i started to out grow it. i signed up to tpww.net in late 2005 and stayed for a few months before totally giving up on wrestling after wrestlemania 22. I recently decided to try it again and have been slowly getting back into it since the Royal Rumble and decided to re-activate my account here.
As well as watching wrestling growing up i rented the old classic tapes from my local video store. I remember watching wrestlemania 7 and loving the savage-warrior match. My favorite wrestler growing up was Bret Hart. My favorite mid carder of all time was Golddust and my current favorite is edge.

[BigDaddyCool]

I'm BigDaddyCool (BDC for the coolness factor). I have been here for a couple weeks, just started posting a few days ago. I think I have like 40 posts or so (ps please don't flame me, but how do you check your post count?) I have been watching wrestling for a few months, but I been checking out some of the older stuff from WWE (were they called WWF at some point ) and also I founds some tapes of an old promotion called WCW (World Championship Wrestling if you haven't heard of it). It looks pretty good.

As for wrestlers I like, there is Batista and John Cena. They are awesome, plus they are champions.

[The One]

Let's all get together and flame that BDC newb. He seems like a cockface.

Fuck you man. Cock never goes in my face, but you probably love it.

[The One]

Nope. I went full blown breeder now. Sorry Jacko, but there comes a time in every man's like when he just needs to stand up and say, "Hey, I'm done sucking cock."

[BigDaddyCool]

Bullshit. No man has ever said that ever.

[The One]

I think one day Big Daddy Cool should hook up with a Hot Little Mama.

[BigDaddyCool]

Who is that, or is that something made up?

[Splaya]

HI LC, I'm Splaya. I believe John Cena should turn heel soon

[ChiefStubbs]

Well, I started watching very, very recently, less than a year ago. However, I have been around it my whole life, so...
Anyway, favorite today would be a throwup between London and Kendrick, just 'cause I love their awesome cruiserweight style. My favorite wrestler of the past would be New Jack, if that counts as past, because of the whole Mass Transit thing. What I like about the current product is the cruiserweights and the new ECW Originals angle. What I don't like....just about everything else. My favorite match would have to be either Taker vs. HHH at Wrestlemania 17 or Sabu vs. Terry Funk at Born to be Wired. My favorite PPV that I've ordered was One Night Stand '06, but of all time...maybe Hardcore Heaven '97.

[Nervous Ferret]

Hi im nervous ferret im new here my favorite werestlemania moment wuz when hulk hogan bodyslammerd andy the giant

[Inadequacy]

I started following wrestling in 2002, but as I didn't have cable I only got to see it every so often at a friends house (he turned me on to it). When we got satellite late 2002/early 2003 I could only watch Smackdown because I didn't want TSN. But I didn't care, RAW didn't have the my favourite wrestler ever(at the time), Chris Benoit. But right after the 2004 Royal Rumble I convinced mom to order TSN(Did I mention I'm still in High School? Didn't want you to think I was twenty and still at home).

I'm really probably the crappiest WRESTLING fan ever, I've never really been able to get into/figure out psychology(admitting that probably wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done). But I don't mind, it allows to me to be a fan of whoever and not just the talented people(yes, I secretly always wanted Orlando Jordan to succeed).

Currently I'm a big fan of Edge, Shelton Benjamin and Alex Shelley to name a few. I'm also a recovering Cena-hater.

[jcmoorehead]

I'm JCMoorehead, I really can't remember when I started watching wrestling properly all I know is i've always been around it. I really got into it around 97 onwards. I did watch it before hand but it's scattered about and just random PPVs.

I think the earliest thing I remember is being quite young and watching it when I lived in Turkey. I remember the Undertaker Vs Undertaker match amongst most things. My next major memory is of the classic Hart and Austin Match, reason I remember it because it was the first time I really remember seeing blood in Wrestling.

Next major thing was the Autumn/Winter of that year, when Austin had the IC Fued and came back after the neck injury. Like many I watched the Survivor Series of that year many times, not because of the screwjob, I was too young to really understand what it meant. I think those series of PPVs, Badd Blood, Survivor Series and the next one I think it was DX In Your House, i'm not really sure were what got me hooked. WCW I watched from time to time through out '98, never really was a big fan it was just something to watch for an hour until Raw came on really. Although I do remember and enjoyed the whole Goldberg thing. I also remember the segment on one Nitro with Jericho trying to lose enough weight to compete for the CW Title.

My favorite wrestler of all time is probably Austin but followed closely by the Undertaker. At the moment I've sort of dropped off of watching wrestling and only watch Raw occasionally but still get most of the big PPVs. I watched TNA for a few weeks but didn't really enjoy it that much.

[HTrain90]

Hey y'all. I'm HTrain90. I've floated on the boards and just looked at conversations for the better part of the last 6-7 years, but only made a profile recently. I'm currently attending UVa's Engineering School, and it pretty much sucks. I went to my first wrestling show on Aug. 19, 2006 (it was here in Charlottesville). It was great timing because that is when Hulk Hogan came back to confront Randy Orton, and seeing that man in person, regardless of how old he is, is something I won't ever forget. Also seeing my boyhood hero Shawn Michaels was great.

I started watching in late 1995 or early 1996. My first memory of wrestling is the Goldust-Razor feud for the IC belt which culminated at Royal Rumble 1996. I didn't understand Goldust (I was 7 or so) and I didn't understand how a pussy like him could have beaten Razor, but I got over it.

Other than that, my earliest memory is tuning into RAW after WrestleMania XII to see if HBK had beaten Bret Hart for the belt. When Shawn came out with the title, I was ecstatic. For a 7-year old mark, there's nothing better than seeing your favorite guy win the belt.

My favorite wrestler of all-time is Shawn Michaels (obviously), but I always enjoyed the work of Bret Hart, Undertaker, and Kurt Angle. Taker was so smooth for a big guy - walking the top rope spot never gets old.

I also really like Kane. Has anyone overcome more shitty gimmicks than him? Katy Vick. Team with X-Pac. Love affair with Tori. Lita's baby. Shooting a fireball at Chyna. Constantly squashed by Taker. Gotta love Kane. And his movie wasn't horrible, which is more than I can say for The Marine.

I think the product sucks now. The WWE has turned me against HBK because I am sick of babyfaces holding the belts. That tells me the company is dead with ideas and want to just keep the fans happy, and it sucks. My favorites now would have to be:

RAW: Randy Orton & Edge (solo, not the Rated RKO bullshit), Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Johnny Nitro

ECW: The Zombie... everything about ECW sucks, although I was halfway impressed with Lashley against Kenny

SmackDown!: KANE, Benoit... thats about it... can't stand London and Kendrick - they look like a couple of gays flying around all smiley and shit - someone PLEASE put the belts on Regal and Taylor!

TNA: Christian Cage, Christian Cage, Christian Cage... and Kurt Angle. TNA is doing a wonderful job with their product. I don't catch it as often as I do RAW, but its a very entertaining show, and I hope it gets 2 hours soon.

I hate Cena's superman push. I never liked Batista - he's a body but can't work worth a shit, and he can't work the mic either. At least Cena tries - he's one of the best they've got on the mic, and he's doing as good as he can - he's trying to stay somewhat fresh, but WWE's 2-year push has killed him.

That's about it. Thanks for taking the time to read this long post... in the end, I think I feel just about the same as the rest of you about the current stuff.

[Jura]

Bringing this back for any new guys who want to join in on this.

[Jeritron]

I love how Clox has the Cobra Kai thing listed as an elite group in his sig. So elite that him and his red dot came in and drove all the elected members out

[ron the dial]

CLOX IS A POX UPON THE KAI.

[Jeritron]

X, apparently we needed that stable to get over

[ron the dial]

Shit, I rarely ever post in this forum anymore. You and I can get ourselves over just fine, Kai or not. Unless Just John has anything to say about it.

[Destor]

It worked wonders for you. But hey, The Forum Horsemen did the same for me. (And to a lesser extent Jaton. Where is he now?)

[Jeritron]

I was being sarcastic. I remember when we joined it and we were like okay, whatever this is cool. Then comes Alioenoid who I respect. But then Clox...damn.

[ron the dial]

Sarcasm? What's that?

You will notice that the end of my statement also breached the line of sarcasm. WE NEED TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE, JERITRON.

[Jeritron]

We're not even reading the same book

[ron the dial]

You're right. You've got that Foley book happening, and I'm reading the selected works of Huey P. Newton. Vastly different.

[Jeritron]

The Foley book is the goods. I might go read it in a bit.

[Loose Cannon]

The Kai was an experiment. I need to find a protige. Someone who can follow in my footsteps and take my place one day. So far, no one is ready

[Gone Mad]

Gone Mad, formerly gonmad00. Name comes from an Alice in Chains' song and my love for the word 'madness'. If it weren't for the team Owen Hart and Koko (since they were on when I first decided to watch it with my cousins), I wouldn't be a wrestling fan. Been a fan ever since, even if today's product is meh. I'm a fan of those who've come out of the Hart Dungeon along with Austin and Taker, and current favs are HHH, Edge, and Carlito. I'm off and on both this forum and the c-fed one.

Fav match: Hart-Bulldog Summerslam 92. Sure, there have been many classics before and after, but this one was always a personal fav.

Fav memories: More personal favs. Getting to see some of my fav wrestlers with the world title live (Jericho with the undisputed, Benoit, and Angle at Rumble last year), along with seeing Taker outside a show and getting hit on by a soccer mom. Loved his awkward reaction to it.

And I wish I was part of the Kais. They're the best... AROUND!

...I'm sorry.

[311]

Hello, my name is 311. I joined not too long ago, I can't remember exactly what the date was...oh well.

-I started watching wrestling in about '86, although I was only about three. However, I remember my grandpa loving it...his favorite wrestler being Hillbilly Jim. I've watched religiously every since, and joined the internet boom after hearing about ECW.

-I think the state of the wrestling industry is 'okay' at the moment. I think WWE gets a bit of a bad rap, even though the booking is sometimes questionable. Fans tend to forget about the business side of wrestling, and that we smarks aren't even close to a majority of the fans to be catering to. The funny thing is, TNA seems to be attempting to cater to smarks, and alot of them hate it.

-Personally, I dislike TNA immensely and have the opinion that it's alot of spot-festing and gimmick matches with alot of wrestlers who have in-ring talent but are absolutely faceless.

-I love Ric Flair and own hoards of old NWA videos as well as the Flair DVD, ect. The funny thing is, was that when I was a little boy mark, and playing with all my wrestling figures, Ric Flair was always my top heel...and I thought I hated his guts, but when I look back, I loved watching his matches. I was a Flair mark without even realizing it. o.O

-I don't dislike ECW, in fact, in it's glory days I was a big fan, but over time I'm realizing that it was overrated, especially as I learned more and more about match psycholgy, ect. On the booking side, it was godlike, but as far as match quality goes, sometimes it was not good, to very poor. Plus and ECW event went on so long sometimes that you felt like you never wanted to come to another professional wrestling event ever. Also, alot of ECW fans now never actually watched it back then and have only seen the DVD's, and the best highlights and/or matches.

-The new ECW was destined to fail, and it was silly to assume it would ever be the gritty show it used to be under McMahon's ownership. The old ECW guys are a joke in the ring (I'm sorry) and I honestly, truly believe that Vince was correct when he said they were washed-up on the show.

-Favorite Wrestlers: Ric Flair, Mr. Perfect, Bulldog, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Taker, Tazz, The Dudleys, Dusty Rhodes (sorry, I love the guy's mic work), Shawn Micheals and Triple H (not currently for either, however, and I also hate DX) and Edge. (Not for his ability, but because he's my favorite of the main-eventers at the moment)

-Overrated - TNA, old ECW, Randy Orton, CM Punk, the New DX Micheals/Helmsley, the old new DX with the Outlaws, H, and X-pac, Sting (sorry...actually, no, I'm not), JBL both wrestling and announcing, Mick Foley (Sorry...wait, no I'm not.) and anything with the name 'Hardy.' Any wrestler in the 80's with a mullet, (I'm talking about you Barry Windham) and RVD, who in my opinion, is the single most overrated wrestler, perhaps ever.

-Underrated - FINLAY (got me watching Smackdown again, now I'm religious), Lita, the old old DX Michaels and Helmsley, the Corperate Ministry music, The WCW television title division, and the WCW cruiserweight division, and in all honesty, DDP.

-Gimmicks or personas I miss: Old DX when WWE was getting is ass kicked by WCW, The Hart Foundation, the Horsemen, and pre-shave Kurt Angle.

-Posts that would make me sick if they were serious, but hilarious if not:

Originally Posted by Mercury Bullet That got me thinking...Flair really sucked too! What did he do? Chops and a figure four leg lock? BORING! I never saw him hit a 450 splash from a ladder!

-Things I hate: Board trolls with an attitude, The New York Mets, The Chicago Cubs, John Cena, W, fans/smarks who think wrestling is flying through tables, bleeding, and generally spot-festing, or fans that don't catch or think about the business side of wrestling.

-Things I love: The St. Louis Cardinals, the Royal Rumble, Jerry the King Lawler, Alienoid posts, wrestling entrances.

-Favorite Match: Rumble 1992. Bret Hart versus Perfect comes close.

[Jeritron]

I agree with just about everything you said, except for RVD and Foley. And what are you thoughts on Jericho? I also supposed I'll stick up for the Outlaws and the Hardys, who aren't the greatest wrestlers on their own, but have entertained me to no end. Along with Hart Foundation and LOD, they are right there with E&C as my favorite tag teams of all time, especially in the modern era.

You're pretty chill tho, I agree with 90% of what you said, especially the importance of business and entertainment value and how miniscule the smark opinion really is. Love your comments about TNA.

[311]

Well, Foley isn't a 'ton' overrated, but he's still overrated in my opinion. I will stand strong on RVD though.

The Hardys were 'much' better as a tag-team. I really enjoyed their matches, but now, as singles, it's just not the same. I really like tag-team work, but right now, it's a bit pitiful. For my money, the Dudley's are the team I probably always enjoyed every time they were in the ring.

To add to my above post, I also quite enjoy Kane.

[Jeritron]

Kanes one who I still enjoy because of how solid he is, and he impresses me with his ability to stay over and keep doing his thing despite how much bullshit he's put up with. However I don't enjoy him nearly as much as I did 6 or 7 years ago, and thats not his fault.

Dudleys were the goods too, they were an anchor to the tag division when it was at its height. The Hardys and E&C made it look good with their high flying and charisma and promos respectively, but The Dudleys were key to that boom in tag wrestling.

Love Foley, not because he was Ric Flair in the ring, but because he's such a great dude and such a good worker. In terms of his ability to make others look good, sacrifice himself for the match, work the crowd in and out of the ring and his sentimental value. He's also one of the best and most underrated promo cutters in the industry's history. He's just Foley and I don't see why people can call him a glorified stuntman when they just don't understand he's not claiming to be a mat technician. He's a brawler who's damn over and is a damn good worker. Great mind too.

HATE TNA. I will agree RVD is damn overrated but I still love him, he's got a style all his own and though he's not quite the best "worker" he's pretty entertaining to watch wrestle to me, and I'll admit its spot reliant and "looks cool"

What are some of your favorite matches, memories and stuff.

I love this thread for the record. I'll give you word association, shoot back with a few thoughts on each.

Rey Mysterio:
Chris Jericho:
Batista:
Eric Bischoff:
Booker T:

shoot

[addy2hotty]

Rey Mysterio = Won it the wrong way
Chris Jericho - The Greatest
Batista - Only his mom (and Triple H) likes him
Eric Bischoff - Raw needs him
Booker T - Token black man

[Jeritron]

haha I was thinkin 311, but on that note I guess everyone shoot. And add names to shoot on.

We should make a word association shoot thread. A list of all the notable names in wrestling and everyone posts a one word, one term or at most one sentence response to them.

[tucsonspeed6]

Rey Mysterio = Queer Eye for the Luchadore. Someone should tell him that nobody uses rotary phones any more. His new finisher should be to lift a guys arm up in the air like he's extending the antenna on a cell phone, then tickle the guy's nipples and talk into his crotch. That's the future of the 619. He also needs to get back into that feud with Orton, only so I can hear him wimper the name "Wan-dee" 15 times a night. He makes the illigetimate love child of Ryan Seacrest and Michael Cole look like Heman-level of masculinity.


Chris Jericho - Enigma wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in a one of those Starburst wrappers that when someone eats the candy, they rewrap the wrapper and hand it to you, and you open it and it's like "Son of a bitch! You did it to me again, fucker!" When did he become an expert on the 80's? Why does he feel that his newfound expertise on the 80's is more important than his wrestling career. Why would anyone even consider talking to TNA at this point? Why would they tell us that he's probably going to come back in September when "probably" means "not....(but we love dickin' with you.)"


Batista - Remember when they did that vignette with Big Show on the toilet? Or that other time they did that vignette with Big Show on the toilet? Alls I'm saying is that now that he's retired, there's a nitch that just opened up. Career Advise: Batista, you know when opportunity's knocking. Open that door, buddy.


Eric Bischoff - "Hey everybody. I heard Raw was in town, and I just decided to stop by (even though I'm not an employee) walk to the ring, (Even though I'm not an employee) grab a mic, (even though....you get the picture) and tell you the obvious. Next week, I'm planning on randomly walking on the set of American Idol to tell everyone who I'm voting for. Keep an eye out for me!"


Booker T - Almost perfect. All he needs is to cut a promo where he turns face, changes his gimmick, ditches his wife as his manager, retires, picks up the color commentator spot, then gets involved with NASA and their plans to return to the moon, so he can be the first person to do a spinarooni on the moon. Until then, he'll just be "almost perfect".

[FBI mark]

Hey, I have been watching wrestling since 86' or so, I was really young so alot of my early memories are hazy. Wrestling captivated me early on and when I really started to analyze it I was hooked.

Roddy Piper was actually the first wrestler I marked out for, and I hated Hogan (even as a kid); other notable favorites throughout the years have been Ricky Steamboat, Arn Anderson, the Great Muta, Wayne Bloom, Matt Borne/evil Doink, Brutus Beefcake (early heel Beefcake), Dean Malenko, Mortus(not Kanyon so much), Pittbull Gary Wolf, and alot of others that I could mention.

However, my absolute favorites include Bret Hart, Steve Austin, James "Guido/Nunzio" Maritato, and Wavell Starr. I would like to go on record as saying I have always liked these wrestlers from the very first time I have seen them. Furthermore, Bret Hart and Austin have cemented there legacies in wrestling but I believe the overlooked Wavell Starr should have been sighned to the WWE and if he makes the big time he will be the next big thing; and I truly believe he could rival SCSA in popularity. As for Maritato I just totaly respect him as a proffesional, he will never be Hart or Austin but he gives it his all everytime in the ring and is a pleasure to watch IMHO.

The current state of wrestling is uninteresting at the moment, and I am really loosing interest.

[Doc Brown]

I'm 21 years old. I've been watching Wrestling Since 1989. My first live event, was Wrestlemania 6.

getting into the Early-Mid Nineties, i was a Ridiculous ECW mark, thanks to tape trading as well as parents co-workers ( The man had satellite ) i was able to get my hands on almost weekly ECW television programs, as well as most PPVs starting with Barely Legal in 1997.

Also around this time, I started watching WCW Saturday Night ( TBS, we didn't get Nitro In Canada on a weekly basis until Early 98). So i would have to say this was my PEAK of wrestling knowledge, and watching.

When everything started getting sold off, and baught out. in 2001, my Interest was still there ,but it was the beginning of the end.

I Watched wrestling all the way up until I attended WM X8. Took a few years off, and since about late 2005, i have been back into watching it weekly. Still hate Smackdown. Most new characters, i could care less about, simply, because i cannot get into them.

Regardless ,it's still good for a laugh and the odd mark out moment.

Favourites of past and present, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Jerry Lynn, Steve Corino, JBL, Nova, Chris Chetti

[311]

Sorry it's taking forever...busy as hell, but I haven't forgotten. :P
