Oh yeah...I have the DISTINCT HONOR of having A FRONT ROW SEAT at what is "widely regarded as the worst pay-per-view of all time", 1999's "Heroes of Wrestling" you can watch the whole thing here...of you dare. Heroes of Wrestling (It might actually be worse than that movie Chad Olson , Cory Olson , TDalton , and I watched at one of the G-Cons - I have done a very good job of purging it from my memory...  ) For those who don't know the movie Pete is referencing, it is the classic Grunt! The Wrestling Movie. This classic features LOW stars "Exotic" Adrian Street and The Destroyer (Dick Beyer) without his mask! It also features great music, including Adrian's youtu.be/lF1RuyDeJWo and the great theme song performed by Sha-Na-Na. I forgot that we had watched that together at Galacticon, Pete!  Maybe if I watch it a second time it will get better...but fingers not crossed. DECAPITATOR! (And holy crap, I forgot about the Krakan Falling Face Slam!) |

AGE: 44
MARRIED: Yeah
KIDS: No
When did you start playing COTG or LOW? 1988, I remember seeing the Spike add in PWI and ordering 2087/88 and was hooked and right on board for 2089.
First COTG Friend: Chad Olson, I somehow discovered on the old CotG boards that we were both attending the same college back in the day and he invited me over for his monthly WWF PPV's and pizza, good times.
Longest COTG friend(Still active): TM, he's had to put up with so many weird order and address changes and proxy auctions for me that by proxy it just leads to chats. A gem of costumer service and a fountain of knowledge.
Been to GCON?: No, really a bummer as it's always at the worse time of year from a business schedule and now that it finally goes virtual i have to be +7 hours ahead...
Nationality: Merican
Do you play COTG? It had been over a decade, but if anything positive(from my perspective) from being on lock down has given me time to revisit my old GWF fed and really lit a fire to get caught up.
Do you play LOW/LOTF? No, but a fan of all the content.
Been overseas?{Where)(Not home country): All over Europe.
Favorite Sports: Formula 1 & MLB
Favorite Teams: Ferrari & Chicago Cubs

Do you go to live wrestling events(Indies,WWE,etc? I use to go to a lot when i lived in the states, but not really a scene here.
How long have you been a wrestling fan? Since '86 with Rock n' Wrestling cartoon that got me into the WWF around WM2.
What is/Was some of Your favorite Feds? 80s WWF just as it was what got me in before cooling in '91, and then late 90s WWF/WCW got me back into it.
What is/Was some of Your favorite Wrestlers(Singles+Tag Teams) Classic Singles: Randy Savage, Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, Ric Flair; Attitude Singles: Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero; Modern Singles: Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, AJ Styles; Classic Tag: Demolition, Brainbusters, Steiner Bros; Current Tag: New Day
What Feds have you seen Live? WWF, IZW(indy in Phoenix)
Have you been to a PPV Live? Yeah a lot of house shows, TV, and PPV: The absolute best was No Way Out '04 in the Cow Palace, seeing Eddie win the title off Brock blew the top off. WM XXI, was cool to see Cena win the title off JBL cause you knew it was the start of the next big face.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD
Long time fan and i've always lurked around the forums as this community has always been so great and I've always kept up with the game, just didn't actually play it. The last 3 months alone I've played more of the game then, and i'm not kidding, the previous 15 years before that.
