NAME: Mark Anthony Markham
NICKNAME: Mark The Mad Baron
WHERE DO YOU LIVE: Beijing, China (current); Shannon, GA in the USA (Home base); Bicol Philippines (wife and in-laws home base)
AGE: 46
MARRIED:Yes...17 years this past April 2nd
KIDS: one daughter age 6
When did you start playing COTG or LOW? Only just now, but I've been following in the shadows since seeing an ad in the Apter mags years ago, and never being able to afford to buy-in. I only remembered about the game a couple of years ago and tried to find it...being pleasantly surprised that it not only still existed, but was thriving.
First COTG Friend: hmmm...when I get someone hooked they'll be the first. Playing with my daughter right now.
Longest COTG friend(Still active):hmmm...a Dad's best friend is his daughter...either that or I'll teach the cat how to play, but I'll need to get a cat first.
Been to GCON?:Nope, but if such things start to happen again and I'm back in the States, I'll surely try my best to attend one. Been to Dragon*Con in Atlanta many times growing up in Georgia, and I managed to get to the Middle East Comic-Con when I worked in the UAE. I remain a member of the Gulf Roleplaying Community out there and may get the chance to introduce COTG when we have our next online mini-con.
Nationality: American
Do you play COTG? Just starting. I think it's pretty good.
Do you play LOW/LOTF? I played with the sample cards. I could see getting them and making an entirely gonzo league.
Been overseas?{Where)(Not home country): More than I can count--Taiwan (started teaching), Abu Dhabi--UAE (9 years teaching), China--mainland (1yr+ and counting...) Vacations thanks to teaching include but are not limited to: Canada, Romania, Belgium, Amsterdam, France, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Turkey, Qatar, Oman, Hong Kong, and Germany. Plus, we've landed in many different airports over the last decade+. The airport in Malaysia being good enough to make me want to actually take a full vacation there some time.
Favorite Sports: Apart from wrestling--sport of Kings--I like American Football. I don't watch much because of my 12 year and counting overseas residency, and the fact that the pro-leagues at least are far too political and preachy for my tastes--play the game and shut up. I don't have the opportunity to watch much college football abroad and COVID has only made things worse. Out of sight, out of mind.
Do You watch WWE/NXT? On occasion. I still keep up with the forums and other dirt sheets, but WWE main brands are hard to watch and oversaturated. NXT and NXTUK are really good, but I still find that I look for YouTube summarized matches more than watching full shows. Too much of a time sink to keep up with everything.
Do You watch TNA,AEW or NWA? NWA Powerrr was great until the COVID hamstrung the whole thing. I still keep up with what I think is their sister/affiliate promotion Wrestling from Hollywood/Primetime. TNA has slipped to nearly completely off my radar. AEW has had potential at times, and I do enjoy listening to Jim Cornette rag on the shows.
Do you go to live wrestling events(Indies,WWE,etc? Any and every time I have the chance even if I'm not following the product at all. I find the live shows to always be fun and in some cases even better than the TV because it doesn't necessarily "count", so they tend to be more loose.
How long have you been a wrestling fan? I can't say since I was in diapers, but it's pretty close. I have a--possibly Mandela Affected--memory of watching Michael P.S. Hayes in a match while a potty chair of some sort was in use either by me or my younger brother, so that means 40+years at minimum.
What is/Was some of Your favorite Feds? As a kid and growing up my favorites were in the Southern Territories Rasslin' era such as the NWA prior to the Turner buy out, Continental Wrestling out of Alabama, WCCW out of TX, Lawler's Memphis stuff, and the Mid-South/UWF stuff from Bill Watts. Never much into AWA and didn't see Florida Championship Wrestling until the YouTube era....WWF(E) always seemed too cartoony for me as a kid although we did have a few of the toys. When the attitude era came in, I started to like it. Later, I developed more of an appreciation for the tongue-in-cheek nature of 80's WWF. GLOW also brings back fond memories and if you do the math you can probably imagine why. Hollywood, Palestina and that Colonel Ninotchka were crushes for sure.
What is/Was some of Your favorite Wrestlers(Singles+Tag Teams): Aside from those GLOW girls faves include:
Singles: Classic: Ric Flair (of course) Attitude/Monday Night Wars Era: Stone Cold Current: Nick Aldis
Classic: Madusa. Attitude/Monday Night Wars Era: Mickie James Current: Asuka
Tag Teams: Classic: The Midnight Express Attitude/Monday Night Wars Era: Edge and Christian Current: The Bar
The Bar really grew on me thought they are currently split up. Plenty of good oldskool teams like the Freebirds, Von Erich, Rock n' Roll, Russians (NWA), and of course the Road Warriors which were always fun to watch. I wish tag-team wrestling would get hot again. Women's tag divisions such as they are really don't have many standouts although I did like Asuka and Kari Sane as recent champs.
What Feds have you seen Live? WCW, WWE, and a few indy shows. I will watch literally any wrestling that comes to town that I know about.
Have you been to a PPV Live? For WWE I've been to the Royal Rumble that came through Atlanta and several of the RAW live shows--notably the Rock vs. British Bulldog as a standout. For WCW I was at notable Nitro shows--Goldberg vs. Hogan and 'Finger poke of Doom' and many of the Center Stage tapings--I primarily remember WCW's the Gambler, a jobber that my friends and I tried to cheer as loudly as possible, and that Triple H wrestled like three or four matches as Jean Paul Levesque at one of the tapings.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD: I think I've given more that enough...is anyone still awake?
