  1. Oh man! Do you still have those? I wish I did. All of that stuff was lost in a fire back in the late 90's. I'm sure if anything had survived, it would be cringe worthy and full of stories about Roddy Piper being the coolest guy ever.

  7. Hi everybody. I'm Michael, 35 years old, grew up in Ohio and Virginia and currently live In Toronto, Ontario. I've been lurking on here and dvdr for years. I've been listening to a bunch of PWO/PTBN podcasts lately. Titans of Wrestling(which might be my favourite podcast ever or at least until The Best Show on WFMU returns this year), Goodwill(or Google) Wrestling Podcast and the Pro Wrestling Supershow. Just found out about the AWA viewing party podcasts yesterday, I'm listening to episode 3 as I write this. I've been a fan since 1985. First time I ever saw wrestling was when I was up way past my bedtime and caught a Prime Time Wrestling with Andre the Giant in a 6 man tag match. I've been hooked ever since. Started buying every magazine I could find and ordering back issues with my allowance almost immediately. I was a huge nerd(still am) and I wrote a wrestling fanzine, with rankings and "articles" which was a supplement(for some reason) in the back of the comic books I drew as a child. I've never shared that with anyone before btw. The first live event I ever went to was the Great American Bash in Charleston, WV on 7/17/88. Best moment of the night was Ron Garvin knocking out The Mighty Wilbur in 10 seconds and some drunk behind me yelled "Ain't so mighty now, motherfucker!" I had to ask my Uncle, who took me to the show, what that meant and why they hated Wilbur so much. Last show I went to was in 2004 when I was working backstage at a Smackdown house show. I spent about 10 minutes drawing a map on the back of a napkin for Paul Heyman and Rob Van Dam so they could go to a good Chinese restaurant close to their hotel. That was surreal. I watched WWF, AWA and JCP/WCW obsessively until about 1992, then I discovered girls and punk rock, so it wasn't high on my list of priorities. I found ECW in 1996 late after a night of drinking and got hooked again. Started slowing down again around 2003 after I started consistently hating RAW and watching HHH burying all my favourite wrestlers. I'm not unique, but the Benoit murders/suicide is one of the main reasons I don't watch much current day WWE these days. I'll catch Wrestlemania and any Daniel Bryan or Dean Ambrose matches online but most of my knowledge of the current stuff is thanks to places like this. I spend most of my time watching late 70's WWWF and JCP from 1985-1989. If anybody is still awake after my introduction, my top 10 wrestlers/managers in no order are 1. Bobby Heenan 2. Jerry Lawler 3. Ric Flair 4. Jimmy Valiant 5. Randy Savage 6. Jim Cornette/Dennis Condrey/Bobby Eaton 7. Nick Bockwinkel 8. Jesse Ventura 9. Bob Backlund 10. Ricky Steamboat
