Hi. You can call me Duke. I'm 33 years old, and from the maritime provinces of Canada. I grew up watching WWF. My father was in the military, and one of my favourite memories is from when I was 12 years old and him taking me to some kind of Officer's club to watch Wrestlemania X on a big screen TV, and them him having to take me home halfway through because I had school the next day. I never watched WCW until halfway through the Monday night wars, and never saw ECW until it was on TNN. I stopped watching wrestling after the Hogan vs Rock Wrestlemania up until a couple years ago when I saw Wrestlemania 29 as I was curious to see The Rock wrestle again.
I watched wrestling off and on since then, and sometime in 2013 was looking around online for a place to read about wrestling, and found this place. I have been lurking for a couple years and thought it was time I signed up so I could show my support more for this great forum I have enjoyed reading so much. I don't know how much I will have time to post as I have a wife and new baby that keeps me very busy, and I am the only one working currently at a call centre so money is kind of tight, but I am hoping to contribute to the discussion in some way. I plan to see Battleground tonight so hopefully I can start from there.
I really enjoy reading this forum as there is such a focus on having a true discussion and not just flaming each other or posting unfunny internet memes, and there is a lot of thought put into the match reviews that it seems better than the majority of the internet message boards I have seen, including non-wrestling boards. I'll try to add to the intellectual discussion rather than posting internet stupidity, but I know I am not as much an expert as most of you on here, so please forgive me if I speak in ignorance. I find in the past I have been much more a fan of angles, promos, and characters over workrate or matches as I have been raised on WWF, but I have enjoyed a lot of the 80's territory stuff I have, which I now realize did often have amazing angles, promos, and characters anyway. Anyway, I'm glad to contribute to the conversation, even just a minor bit.
