Anyone here a wrestling fan?

Loved wrestling in the 80's. On Saturdays it would be on the whole day. My favorite at the time was the UWF but I watched it all. I used to regularly go to the Capital Centre and once in awhile the Baltimore Arena. Lost interest in the early nineties when too many other things took over.

Even when it got real popular again later, I was always the guy saying how it was better before. Which I'm sure was real annoying. It is probably the one form of entertainment where I feel old and out of the demographic.

Wahoo McDaniel came into our store one day. I got to actually tell him that his money was no good here. And getting a free fill-up and a six-pack made him quite friendly and talkative. We actually talked more about his NFL playing days than wrestling. Thing I remember was how unbelievably big his hands were when he shook my hand. You couldn't have paid me enough money to get chopped by him.

I'm a former wrestler myself. Some of you may know Crazy Luke Graham Jr. (especially if you're familiar with Lawler, Dundee, and the Moondogs). Luke Jr. trained me back in 2002, and I wrestled from 2003-2007 as Plowboy Hays. I had to stop wrestling for two reasons. Gas costs and back problems. I miss it. Seriously, I had lots of fun, but I don't want to mess up my back anymore than it already is. If I was to ever climb back in a ring, it would be as a ref, or a manager. Heck, I wouldn't mind working as a timekeeper/ ring announcer or even security. But my days in the ring are done.

I love wrestling, I remember watching the old syndicated WWF Superstars show (back when it was THE show) on Saturdays at some friends' house and playing with their big rubber WWF figures.

I didn't become a huge fan until '90 though when my family moved to a different part of town and there were no kids in the neighborhood for me to play with. All I did was watch TV & eat. A proud tradition still going to this day!

I watch WWE & TNA. Really just Raw and Impact because I usually work when ECW & Smackdown come on, but I try to record/read results online to stay current.

My current faves are: AJ Styles, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Mickie James, Edge, CM Punk, Batista, Rey Mysterio, William Regal, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Umaga, Elijah Burke, Hernandez, Christian Cage, Jay Lethal, Kurt Angle, Santino Marella and Scott Steiner
