smkelly Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 I want to see your birth certificate more than Obama's. Quote
MikeCampbell Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Bix's age isn't exactly a huge secret. He flat out told Eric Bischoff his age during an old WOL broadcast. Quote

jdw Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 There's someone else you guys know who's about my age where it'll surprise you but I won't say who... There's someone else on these boards who was born in 1980ish that always surprised me since I thought he'd been around forever. Â Hoback was subbing to the WON and buying tapes from Dave in 1983 at around the age of 12/13, which always blows my mind. Â John Quote

smkelly Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 ...who are really only in their mid-twenties. Â Who is the oldest member here? Quote
jdw Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 I'm 45. I'm sure there are some older than me. Dean doesn't post here, but he had me beat by a few *days*. Â John Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 I'm 45. I'm sure there are some older than me. Dean doesn't post here, but he had me beat by a few *days*. Â John I'll be 41 come June. It's always nice to see that some folks online talking wrestling are older than me. Quote
Jingus Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 The odd thing is, at a couple of other boards, I'm the crusty old guy at the ripe age of 31. I end up teaching Rassling 101 to kids so inexperienced that many of them haven't seen any of the old Wrestlemanias. So it is kinda nice to have a board where I'm the naive young punk, relatively speaking. Â And speaking of which, hey Bix, I saw a couple of your Cageside articles about Sinclair being linked by some of said kids on said boards. So your work is getting out there, to people who have no idea who you are. Quote
El-P Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 I'm 45. I'm sure there are some older than me. Dean doesn't post here, but he had me beat by a few *days*. Â John Dean is 45 too ? I thought Dean was about 40. Well, I'm 35, but I feel kinda old sometimes already. Quote

Dylan Waco Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Im 29 and have been around since rspw but i think that is well known Quote
Kronos Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Okay, then, we're an older crowd (but not as old as Wrestling Classics, I'll wager). I'm totally fine with it. Â But the question remains: How old is RE? Quote
S.L.L. Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 I'm a 27-year-old Long Island Jew who got online in '95 but basically lurked and learned until 2003. I think that's also known, though. Quote
S.L.L. Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen me and Bix in the same place at the same time? I haven't. Quote
jdw Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Im 29 and have been around since rspw but i think that is well known That's the one I recall as being born in 1980ish, and being surprised that you were a Torch reader so young. Â John Quote
Dylan Waco Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 pretty sure I find the Torch through an ad in an Apter or Napalitano mag. Don't remember which. I was trying to nail down exactly when I subscribed a few months back and honestly don't remember. I THINK it was around my 13th birthday which would have been August of 94, though it may have been a hair later than that. Had definitely been a subscriber for a while by the time the Monday Night Wars officially launched in Sept of 95. Quote
khawk20 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 First PC in '97, started trading tapes a year later when I got a 2nd VCR for my Jr. high graduation. See, I've been into taping stuff at least as long as you have in terms of age started, but there was no online anything back then (circa 1985-86, whenI got my 2nd VCR). So, while I am a long-time taper, I'm a relatively short-term trader. Internet trading was already a big thing when I got into it. Quote
Strummer Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 I'm 31 and yeah I'll concur it's nice not to feel so old at a wrestling board! Quote
Bix Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 We got our first VCR in '93, I started taping a few months later. Quote
Bob Morris Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 I turn 40 in August. So I have the right to call Bix a "young whippersnapper," I suppose. Quote
