Hey everyone......Signed up, last night. I had been looking for a decent message board, for wrestling, for quite a while, and happened to find this one, via Reddit, last night. Did a little creeping, and liked what I saw. Layout is nice, and judging by what I did read, the posters don't come across as 16 year old trolls. Sorry. I was dealing with Disqus, on Wrestlezone, so there was a bit of trepidation. Even the bit I did see here, it didn't feel like trolling, for the sake of it. Just came across as good natured ribbing. Which is a good thing!

So, about me, and my obsession with the crazy world of pro wrestling.......

I've been watching, my whole life, and I'l l be 43, in May. My earliest memories, my Dad took me to an NWA Detroit show, in Flint, Michigan. The memories are extremely vague, but I do recall The Sheik, Bobo Brazil, Pampero Firpo, and Flyin Fred Curry being there. My absolute obsession with wrestling started with the WWF national expansion, though. SNME, Brawl To End It All, Wrestlemania 1, etc. I didn't get introduced to JCP/NWA until the later 80's, and proceeded to fall in absolute, full blown mark, love with the Four Horsemen. I'm pretty certain the first I ever saw of them, and JCP, was a GAB vhs tape of the first War Games. Bash 87?

Now? I watch everything. I either have, or have had, just about every streaming service available. Currently, I just have WWE and High Spots. And I use Youtube to watch more obscure stuff, like old WWC, NWA, etc.

Here's where I tell you who my favorites are, but beyond The Horseman, Andre and SCSA, it would probably be easier to tell you who I dislike, and even then, I'd be hard pressed. Like I said, I just love pro wrestling.

So, fire away with any questions, and I'll gladly answer them, and again, pretty certain I'm glad I found this place, and look forward to chatting it up with everyone!

- Brent

It only took me an hour, or so, of reading some threads, and I certainly gathered that! Which is what I was looking for! Like I said, finding this was pure chance, because I wasn't even sure if a good discussion forum even existed any more.

But, I am looking forward to some good old fashioned ribbing, and discussion!

Thoughts on AWA?

Are you an NXT or AEW kind of guy?

I'm sure I will! Liking it quite a bit, so far!

By all accounts, it COULD have been huge, if not for Verne, and his stubborn ways. But, it did give us Hulk, HBK, Iron Sheik and Mr. Perfect, among others, so I'm ok with it. I'm still more of a classic NWA or WWF guy, though.

And to answer your second question: Both. I love wrestling. I can drag them, when I see something that I don't like, but can enjoy the shit out of them, when their game is on. I don't fall into the "Us vs Them" trap. Competition breeds a better, overall product, and for me, personally, the more wrestling I have to choose from, the better!

The mink coat promo..........Love it. Still isn't the "Hard Times" promo, but a good one, none the less. And agreed, 100% on the Golden Age comment! Nice to know there are some of us left! LoL

Welcome!

You'd be right enough that the first WarGames was Bash '87. A quick Wikipedia walk suggests that Dark Journey (who valeted for the Four Horsemen in that match) retired after Bash '87 and now works in alternative medicine. Bizarre career path
