WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO FOR THE SITE?
I consider myself the “Operations Manager”.. I do it all: I host nearly
every show, I program the shows, I edit ‘em, I produce all the audio (show
intros/outros/etc), and I’m the eye candy. I saw you looking at my butt. I don’t
blame you though.
WHICH WRESTLER DO YOU RESEMBLE MOST?
Austin Aries (NOT “The Austin Starr”)
WHICH CHARACTER WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
Edge, the Rated R Superstar
WHICH WRESTLERS DO YOU CHEER?
Kurt Angle, Kane, Triple H, Edge, Ken Kennedy, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie
Haas, Kid Kash, Jamie Noble, Chris Jericho, Boogeyman, MNM, Goldust, Carlito,
Elijah Burke, The Coach, Finlay, Gene Snitsky, the Spirit Squad, any of the “Juniors”
(I miss this division.) Candice Michelle, Melina, Trish Stratus, Christy Hemme,
Jackie Gayda, Christian Cage, Austin Aries, Ron “The Truth” Killings, Monty
Brown/Marcus Cor Von, Abyss, Rhino, Samoa Joe, Raven, Brian Danielson, AJ
Styles, Alex Shelley, Petey Williams
WHICH WRESTLERS DO YOU BOO??
Heidenreich, Scotty 2 Hottie, Viscera, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Gymini, Jim
Ross, Mike “The Miz”, Paul Birchill's "Pirate" gimmick, Mae Young
and Moolah Team 3-D, Matt Bentley, Konnan, Rikishi, A1, Goldberg, Scott Norton,
Tony Schiavani, D-Lo Brown, Santino Morella, Darkman Dan
WHO DESERVES A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO IMPRESS?
WWE – Jamie Noble. A former Ring of Honor World Champ, and a WWE
Cruiserweight Champion with a great “rich aunt” storyline, turned into a
jobber! No matter how much Cole & JBL praise him, without a storyline, he’ll
fail to excel.. again..
TNA – L.A.X.. The hottest tag team to come
along in years was pushed & pushed for months, then they drop the belts and
are given little-to-nothing to do! Homicide & Hernandez are too good to be
sideline-players!
WHO ISN’T WORTH THE HYPE?
Bobby Lashley. The very first match he wrestled, I thought he had potential.
I now wonder what the hell I was thinking. He might be strong, quick &
agile, but he’s a bore to watch in the ring, horrible on the stick, and
frankly, not worth the main-event push he’s received.
WHO’S YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE?
The Boogeyman. A character who should have been the worst gimmick ever, has
turned into, quite possibly, the best in the history of the world. And alternate
dimensions.
WHICH ENTERTAINER ROCKS THE MIC THE MOST?
WWE – Carlito. That man is a suave son of a bitch on that microphone.
TNA – Christian. He’s good at working the
crowd as a face or a heel. He can work both sides, while getting himself AND his
opponent over. He makes both sides look good, and that’s a rare trait in
current ‘rasslers!
WHICH WRESTLER IS THE BEST PURE GRAPPLER?
Kurt Angle can wrestle ANY style of match when he needs to. AJ Styles is on
his way to being one of the best pure-wrestlers ever…
WHICH AERIEL ARTIST IS THE BEST HIGH-FLYER?
Paul London. An incredible talent that has only shown an inkling of the
talent during his WWE run. Unleash the restraints and he’s headed towards the
top..
WHICH WRESTLERS (IN THE DAY) MADE YOU FEEL
WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE?
Droz, El Dandy, Eddie Guerrero, Ultimate Warrior, Ted “Million Dollar Man”
Dibiase, Randy “Macho Man” Savage, Big Bossman, Mr. Perfect, Crash Holly,
Owen Hart,
WHICH WRESTLERS PISSED YOU OFF THE MOST?
D-Lo Brown, Dino Bravo, Insane Clown Posse, The Rock (face, not the heel
one), Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, “Adorable” Adrian Ardonis, the
Smoking Gunns
WHO HAD THE LAMEST GIMMICK EVER?
Terry Taylor.. the Red Rooster?! Bow in fear!!
WHAT THE WAS THE BEST STORYLINE IN THE HISTORY
OF EXISTANCE?
The Corporate Set-Up! A tournament for the title was being held (Survivor
Series 98, I believe), and Vince McMahon was supposedly grooming Mankind to
become the champ, by feeding him easy opponents (Duane Gill, anyone?)… At the
end of the tournament, Mankind had to face the Rock, who was revealed to be in
cahoots with the Rock! Mankind gets screwed, and the “Corporate Champion”
wins his first taste of World Gold! (The first time I EVER cheered the Rock!)
WHICH STORYLINE HAUNTS YOU TO THE DAY, MAKES
YOU CRY?
Not a “storyline” but instead, a “real life” tragedy: D-Lo
paralyzing Droz after botching his running powerbomb during a SmackDown taping
in fall of 99.
THE PAY-PER-VIEW MOST WORTH YOUR MONEY?
It seems like a cop-out, but I’m a huge fan for ANY Royal Rumble showing!
BEST ENTRANCE MUSIC/THEMES?
Kane (Finger 11’s “Slow Chemical”), Gangrel, Degeneration X
MOST PRIZED WRESTLING POSSESSION?
My action figures, like my over-sized Boogeyman figure (I love you,
Boogeyman figure.) Or my Droz “sweating” figure. My Gangrel one was neato
too, but not as swell.
ALRIGHT GEEK, HOW MANY WRESTLING SHIRTS DO YOU
OWN?
Too many… Christian (Captain Charisma), Christian Cage’s Hot Topic, Edge
& Christian (Reeking of Awesomeness & 5-Second Pose), Ken Kennedy (First
one), Jericho (Ayatollah), Cena (w/ old-meets-new WWE logo), Kurt Angle (You
Suck), Triple H (Cerebral Ass), Stone Cold (smoking skull), X-Pac (Ass is
Grass), Rey Mysterio (White w/ black trim), Degeneration X (“Suck It” w/
arrow), ECW (EC F’N W), WCW (last logo) & an N.W.O. (Dark Blue) one! I
have a number of home-made ones as well..
BEST WRESTLING MEMORIES (PRO OR NOT)?
Pissing off Gregg “The Hammer” Valentine (as explained on a previous
edition of the “Big Show”) Watching Gregg the Sound Guy inadvertently
infuriate Terry Taylor by constantly calling him “Red Rooster” when Taylor
was trying to be serious. Announcing an indy show’s main-event in Canton with
Mick Foley Watching both WCW and WWF on Monday nights, at the same time, on 2
TVs!
