Hi guys I'm Dean, 29 from Bristol, England.
I started watching wrestling when I was 4(that's what my mother says) during the big WWF uk boom and had Hasbros,Galoobs,sticker books and any Video I could get bought for me. I would watch the videos with my Grandad who would moan about "American Wrestling" but he would get into it even more than me and until he died last year would still ask me to bring down old WWF DVD's to watch.
I never had a strong preference for WWF(or WF as I called it) or WCW, my 2 favourites were Bret Hart and Sting and Shawn Michaels was someone I hated, if you told 11 year old me he wouldn't wrestle for another 4 years I would have hugged you.I had every AKI Nintendo 64 wrestling game and that console is the greatest purchase I ever made.
Getting the internet in 03 saved my declining interest in wrestling, opened up so many new promotions and styles to watch, now I have enough DVDs and hard drives that it would take years just to watch it all, Memphis,JCP,Continental/Southeastern and SMW is my favourite stuff to watch.
Been lurking on here for a while and finally decided to take the plunge, sorry for rambling
