Yeah, I find it odd that I don't hear the commentary as well.

The first show I attended as an adult I was like, "There's something missing, what is it?", as a kid I didn't notice as much I was too busy like "Holy crap Hulk Hogan!!" once that went away it was neat to see the show and then go home and watch a replay or recording I made to see what I missed or how close I was at calling my own matches

Also I agree with Omega about Do Boy's current streak of win

Do Boy · 10-14-2011, 04:26 PM

To be honest. I never believed in luck. Just karma

No, just been following wrestling off and on for most of my life. I always got a kick out of finding out their real names, who they are married to, seeing them drunk in public...

Not a big fan of modern pro-wrestling, but used to love it during the late 80s up until around the early 2000s. Watched a lot of WWF and WCW as well as a lot of Japan stuff like New Japan, All Japan and Michinoku Pro. WCW did a lot of foreign exchange with Japan and Mexico so it was cool to see them over here mixing it up with Sting, Rick Rude, Steve Austin and the lot. I still play a game called Fire Pro Wrestling Returns on my PS2. Me and my childhood friend play it religiously. I got hooked on it when I played Super Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium on the Super Nintendo. It was crazy for a SNES game and had like 100 real wrestlers and hundreds of moves.

He makes up for it with his poor luck in guessing the genders of Arkers. LOL.

WCW during the Monday Night Wars was great, it was a awesome time to be a wrestling fan back then. They had so much going on, a little too much at times lol.

On the subject of wrestling live vs wrestling on TV, I've been taking my kids down to the local VFW whenever wrestling comes to parts unknown and even though many of the performers are relative unknowns, I find the proximity to the ring and access to the Superstars to be superior.

No lie, last time we went Tony Atlas came out of no where and sat down right next to my son and started flexing his pecks!

I also know where they go to eat after the show and one time ended up talking to both Iron Sheik and Shelton Benjamin.

BlackMagnus · 10-14-2011, 07:48 PM

^My cousin (more like a brother, long story for another time) and I did that after a RAW one night. Most of the mid card guys went to a Denny's down the street from the arena, they love that shit lol, and we sat down and talked to Elijah Burke. Most down to earth dude, he was really cool about it. My bro was marking out hard lol.

CLASSIFIED · 10-14-2011, 07:53 PM

Yeah, there's this Asian place on the highway where I live that they all hit up.

They even have their photos all over the wall, its pretty bad ass.

I've met more wrestlers at a CVS in town I used to work at though.

I gave Matt Hardy directions to another CVS with a 24 hour pharmacy and he shook my hand afterwards, and another time I had to explain to RVD about how we took our self tanner end cap down.

Oh yeah dude, he was all done when I did, and when I was done there was this awkward silence, and then he stuck out his hand, and was all like, "I like what you did back there", because I busted out this huge line of customers lickity split so I could go outside and give him directions.

Good
-Jeff Hardy
-Fortune
-there knockout division>WWEs Diva Division
-ink inc
-mexican america
-beer money
-... screw it there tag division is better then WWEs

Bad
-I think WWE needs to give the middle aged guys a break so TNA REALLY needs to put its seniors down
-Somoa Joe may be the worst wrestler I have ever seen in my life.
-there low card cant hold my attention at all.
-thus far its been a bit predictable.

I was leaning more towards him being a drug addict.

LOL I can relate to that. I've seen all those guys. My first show was a Saturday Nights Main Event with Buster Douglas. My fondest Memory is still Dino Bravo telling us to F' Off

I think their biggest problem is their writting/ booking, but maybe that will shange now that Russo is out.

Oh yea, the Pope was funny there for awhile, my cuz really liked him in that gimmick. To bad about TNA though, Hogan had to come fuck it all up.
