When did you start playing COTG or LOW? I ordered the COTG starter set in the mid-90s with a money order I saved up for after seeing ads in the Apter mags for years.

Do you go to live wrestling events(Indies, WWE, etc.)? I haven't been to a WWE event in over a decade. Waiting for AEW to come close enough. I go to a tiny local indie sometimes.
How long have you been a wrestling fan? I started watching with my older brother when I was very young and would listen to him talk about Mid-South. I really got pulled into the WWF around 1993 and found the Internet wrestling community in 1995ish.
What is/was some of Your favorite Feds? I love anything WWF up through the WCW purchase (even New Generation), as well as classic era ECW (pre-1999). I'm a big AEW and TJPW fan currently.
