Tremendous read. I had an opportunity to see Perro live in Chicago. I was in awe at the time as I had never seen a wrestler with so much natural charisma and crowd control as him. He was the very definition of a presence. He will be sorely missed.

Hello all. My name is Phil, 36 years old. Grew up in Bermuda and currently residing in Chicago. Due to not having cable for my entire childhood, my wrestling access was limited to the Apter mags (usually a couple of months behind on the island, if they ever came at all), WWF tapes at the local video store, and the occasional sleep-over a friend's house who actually had cable, That all changed when I went away to school, first in New Jersey and I received in the mail (probably due to my subscription to PWI) a tape list from RF Video. Now I began to understand there was more. Couple that with college in the Northeast (PA to be exact) and the fledgling internet and I was pretty well hooked. And now I live in Chicago, and in the interest of full disclosure, not that it really matters but it does paint some of my perceptions, I went and trained to be a referee which I still do in the Chicago-area. I am also currently in grad school looking to become an archivist and any time I can I am making pro wrestling the focus of my work. Even though I grew up on the WWF pay-per-views, I have embraced pretty much all that I can find about wrestling. Most recently I watched the majority of the run of the Moondogs v Jarret/Lawler feud (so happy to finally see that as I read about it so much in PWI as a kid), and thanks to the network and the internet in general I have been making it a point to watch the matches from the old DVDVR Best of the 90's list. It's rather fascinating rewatching some material and seeing it with much different eyes these days. Hoping I can contribute something to the board and look forward to reading.
